I have tried just about everything in every thread on here to get the albums to actually show on the main screen of the music player.
I can see them all if i go to library albums and they all show their art but when i play one i cant see the other to scroll through them.
So Far :
I have embedded the art in to EVERY file
I have created a folder.jpg in each folder
Tried syncing it with my Media Player
Still no working, all work fin in slide 2 play but want to get them working with music player as well.
Any help much appreciated
Pah...album art has to be the single most awkward thing to get to work consistently in any media player at all.
If I were you I would give it up and listen to the music...
Do you mean that in the main screen only one or two songs display (regardless of album art)? If so, go to library, choose for all songs, and press up again. You can also go to All songs and select one song, it should start playing and show all the other albums also(when you flip through them)
I use mediamonkey to embed every mp3 i have with an album tag. Then i simply copy the mp3's i want to the phone (I've created a folder called MP3 in the Internal Storage and copy the files all there)
Then all album art is there (sometimes one or two pictures missing out of hundreds of songs)
Mods and other users, Please take time to read my Post fully, the problem i refer to has no connection with any of the threads on here that talk about problems with album artwork etc. Many thanks.
Ok here's my problem, i'll try and keep it as brief as poss -
I have all of my music safe and sound on my TD and all of the relevant artwork is there fine, everything fine to this point. However When i scroll to the Music tab in TF3D the only music that it finds are the two sample tracks that come pre loaded to the phone. I have to actually go into the library to find my own music, now that might not seem a huge problem to some people but the point is that TF3D should find this, and enable you to simply scroll through your albums that's the whole point!!
Now i've checked and the two 'sample' tracks are actually stored on the phone memory which is tiny, far too small to put your music on, this of course forces you to put your music in the Internal storage, indeed when i move these sample tracks off the phone memory and into the Internal storage they dissapear from the TF3D tab, and i have to go to the library to find them.
So i'm thinking that TF3D automatically looks to this folder (' Windows mobile device\Music ') for music and it simply ignores any music stored elsewhere in the internal storage, I have my music stored in Internal Storage\My Document\My music and TF3D doesn't find them there.
So i guess my question is - Can anyone/has anyone figured out how to change where TF3D looks for music, this would enable me to simply scroll to the album i want to listen to instead of having to go into the library and tell it where to look!! After all that's the whole point of Touch Flo, otherwise i may as well just use WMP
Thanks in advance if anyone can help, I've tried everything it's really doing my nut in now!!!!!
Ho about you...

Hey guys,
I went to play some music on my phone today and i have every song twice.
I am using Cyan 4.04 and HTC music. both songs acording to the player are sitting in the same place.
I just tried deleting all songs off my SD and rebooting but no go. The songs still appear in HTC music but now i can play any of the cos they arent on the SD card to play.
Anyone else seen this or know of where the data file for HTC music is kept so i can delete.
Thanks guys
I did a couple of searches for duplicates but with no avail
Cheers
I'm having same problem. All songs have duplicates. But there is only one actual audio file in the music folder. I have my music stored on '/My Storage/Music/Artist/Album/Songs.mp3'.
I tried deleting the files in the HTC/AudioManager folder (music.vol & cache files, then restarted) but didn't help.
And on a separate note, should I be able to flip through multiple albums on the Music tab home screen, or just the songs from the current album? I can only flip through the songs from one album, then have to use the Library to find another. And am I stuck having songs listed alphabetically instead of album order?
Anyone track down any answers for this one? Really would like to get Audio Manager working properly.
THANKS!
Hi guys......I've been using Apex 5.3 and I've noticed something......You make a playlist in your favorite music player and then reboot the phone, after the reboot and the media scanner, you check the playlist and there are no songs in the playlist!!..............I've notted that it just happens in Android 2.2 Froyo, when i was whit a GB ROM It didn't happen...... I would like to know if there is any way to avoid this!.....It's annoying making the same playlist a lot of times!!! I would appreciate you to Help Me
And....sorry for my bad English ...........If you don't understand my words tell me please I'm just learning and i'm from Mexico!! Greetings

Your playlist are usually saved on your sd card as a little file. You could back it up and re-open it after flashing a new ROM.
Might be different with different player tho, I haven't tested it. Just my though on it as I don't use playlist
Do you know where I can find this file???

Usually would be in a folder created by your music player (with the name of your music player). Although, like I mentionned, I don't use playlist so I'm not sure where they would be placed
I'm going to go ahead and mention this now:
This is an issue relating to the media scanner. It is not specific to any one application, phone, or ROM. I've done a ton of searching on Google for an answer, and it is obviously not restricted and seems to come from the media scanner. Winamp, Songbird, PowerAMP, Instinctiv, Android Music, etc... all seem to have this problem.
As far as I know, there is no fix. Your best bet is to get an app that will let you sync playlists from your computer, and sync regularly. If you use an app that saves playlists as .m3u, you can create a new folder called .NoMedia, and media scanner will ignore it, and thus, not try to update it. If your app does not create playlist files, your playlists are stored in a database file and you're really out of luck.
Please, if anyone knows of a fix, please help!

The only solution I've found is FLASHING A GINGERBREAD ROM...I haven't had problems about this in Gingerbread........But I think they are still a little unstables!! :S
I'm having the same problem with FroYo and PowerAmp on my Captivate but the problem only occurs when I unmount and re-mount the SD cards and then the media scanner runs. If I reboot on the phone normally the scanner leaves the playlists in tact.
If you're using PowerAmp there's actually a 2 different settings that fix this, under Advanced Folder options: No System Scan For Folders, and Create /MusicFolders. For the first one you just select which folders you want to exclude from the scanner, for the latter it creates said folder (on both SD cards) and then you need to move your music to the MusicFolders folder(s). I suppose the former is easier if you have your music spread out over both SD cards or just don't feel like moving your music underneath another subfolder. The trade-off to this is that you lose use of the System Library and can only use Folder Playlists.
I used the Create /MusicFolders option, moved all my mp3s under it, created a couple of playlists with a few songs each. Unmounted/re-mounted the SD cards and also rebooted the phone and let the media scanner run both times and the Folder Playlists were untouched. Hopefully there's a fix eventually but for now, I can live with cumbersome functionality of using only folders since I only use playlists and very rarely shuffle all the songs on my phone. Not having to spend a half hour recreating playlists is more than worth the tradeoff.
Playlists on MicroSD card disappearing from all media players when phone is rebooted.
I make all my music playlists in WPM 11, Winamp ETC, and sync them to my phone's MSD card.
When i reboot the phone the playlists don't go blank, they disappear entirely from my media players through out the phone.
The playlists folder on the SD card still contain the physical .pls files, but they don't appear in any media player.
I have to resync all my playlists everytime i reboot my phone. The music itself is still physically there and the media players all still see the music, its the damn playlists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards and thanks.
I know this is a well known problem, it use to happen on my GS3 but not every reboot. Once in a while maybe. This is really frustrating.
