Playlist oddity, any thoughts?

Hi:
Since the AT&T Froyo update, I am having odd music playlist problems. I am using the stock media player., and all music is stored to external SD card.
When in the song list, to add a song to a playlist, I hold down on the song, and select add to playlist, and then choose the playlist. It does not ever show up in the playlist I chose. This is the same way I have always added songs, only now it won't work.
If I go to the appropriate playlist, and remove songs via the menu button, and then add a few songs, the changes work properly, EXCEPT after the phone is turned off then back on, the changes disappear, and the original songs that were removed are still there, and the songs that were added are NOT there.
Any thoughts on what is causing this? I am desperate to fixe this. Every time I want to listen to music I have to go in and add/delete songs, which as you can imagine is hugely inconvenient.
Any thoughts will really be appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi again:
I just tried using PowerAmp music player, and the same problem happens as with the stock player

Bump.
This is really a huge problem for me, any suggestions would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you had this problem on any custom ROM?
CM7 Inspire 4G

Hi:
Thanks so much for your reply. I have never flashed a custom ROM. I can however say that I did not have this problem on stock 2.1.
Thanks again!

I actually had this problem on a few roms I was using. A reinstallation of the music app seemed to fix it. In this case, a reset may help unless you want to root and remove/add the app back in the system/app folder.

Hi:
Thanks so much for your suggestion.
I am already rooted. Do I actually go into the system folder and remove it, paste it somewhere else, and add the same app, or do I need to find a file of the music app online to replace the original?
Thanks again!!

That's about it. I'd cut and paste it somewhere else just in case then move the new on in. You can probably grab the app from a lot of ROMs that use the Samsung Music Player or just search for it somewhere. It should be called MusicPlayer.apk

One last question. Do you think this would affect the proper functioning even in Poweramp, because this problem is occurring when I use that also.
Thanks again!

[Q] Boosting Media Volume

Howdy All!
I'm about to take a trip to Alaska and will be taking my Nook Color along to watch movies during flights. It's running CM7 with the beta .32 kernel. I think it'll be loud enough on the plane (I will be using active noise canceling headphones), but I'd like to know what options there are for boosting volume just in case.
I see that there is a built in DSP Manager and one can simply set it to +10 on each section. Is this the best way to boost volume? I noticed in CM Settings there is a a way to boost attenuation for ringtones, notifications, etc, but nothing for media volume.
Thanks!

I'm using volume + available here.........http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/volume-gingerbread/download
It's been working well for me.

Oh Wow! Volume + is amazing. Thank You.

Glad to help.

Thank you for your recommended.

One thing to note. If you are using headphones, you may think you need to adjust the "Headset Settings" in Volume +. Changing this will do nothing. The "Speaker Settings" will adjust both the built-in speakers as well as any headset you plug into the headset jack.

Thanks!

THanks a lot !

Volume+ is perfect. Thanks so much for the recommendation. It's working great on my Droid phone, too.

How does volume+ compare to DSP Manager which is included in CM7?

This app is GREAT........
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

DSP manager has superior EQ control IMO but volume + is MEGA GOOD! I had no idea we would ever be able to have an app to do that. Now I don't have to re encode all my low volume videos. I tried running both together but they crash each other.

Can't wait to give this app a try. I just had my first long trip on a plane with my nook and with noise canceling headphones the volume was just about right. Although at times I could have used one or two more volume nudges up.

I have got to be missing something, but when I downloaded the "apk," I got a zipped file containing some files and two folders, and one of the two folders contains a bunch of folders.
How do I install this on my nook color running CM7?

Its just an .apk
I must assume your using safari? Try looking in your downloads folder for the original .apk Safari tends to unzip things that dont need unzipped.

Thanks, but it really is a .zip file. I thought that too until file explorer on my nook wanted to unzip it. Then I went to my PC and unzipped it and that's when I got all the files. It is not an .apk. I checked that out. I'm puzzled. Why would a .zip file be put at the link location for downloading?

Using Opera browser and im also getting a .zip file.
Ok IE browser gave .apk file.

Will this only work for Gingerbread? How about rooted stock 1.1

Dalingrin has created a program for the Nook Color, just for this purpose.

In root explorer hit rename and change it from .zip to .apk.... works like a charm

[RINGTONES & NOTIFICATIONS] Ripped From LG Optimus 2X Phone | Wow Wow Wee Wow!

These ringtones and notification tones were ripped from the LG Optimus 2X phone. They are actually pretty kick-ass and hopefully you like (most of) them as much as I do.
Installation Instructions (extract the zips) (not flashable)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Create a ringtones folder and a notifications folder on your SD Card
2. Copy the ringtones & notification tones from the download into the newly created folders
3. Use Root Explorer or File Expert as root (free in market) to copy them to /system/media/audio/ringtones & /system/media/audio/notifications
Alternatively you could use ADB to push them to the same locations from your computer.
DOWNLOAD THE RINGTONES HERE
DOWNLOAD THE NOTIFICATION TONES HERE
Follow this link to get the Widgets from the LG Optimus 2X

Great post, thanks!

Thanks for the extras. I'll add them to my collection.

The problem is that most of the phone developers LG, Samsung, etc put their own ringtones on the device but they don't bother to name them anything unique in the .ogg tags. You might have 3 different sound files of guitar sounds but the .ogg tags are all called Guitar so it appears as if you have duplicates (even though they are 3 different sounds).
That is the case with these sounds. They share some of the same names in the tags with the stock sounds. I'm working on sorting them and retagging some to add to my collection.

Do you have an ETA on when your going to upload your collection ?

Still working on the sorting. I have them converted to ogg and tagged (in English, some were Chinese). I'm trying to make sure there won't be any duplicates. I've already counted 5 called "alarm".
I'll probably upload them as individual collections (HTC, Sony, etc) and then one massive collection.

edit: sorry guys, wrong thread.

Thanks - these are great! So sick of the default beeps and blings...

So installed ringtones and notification and notification is the only one plays sound. Any ideas.

Custom Ringtones

So, I was looking in the phone and I've yet to figure out what the issue is. I was always able to transfer ringtones(.mp3 files) to all of my Samsung phones(Vibrant and Infuse) without issue; however, when I try to select one on the Thrill it won't allow it or sometimes states "Device does not support this Content for ringtone Assignment."
I checked the actual ringtones folder and it contains .ogg files; however, merely renaming the extension .mp3 to .ogg doesn't produce any results(in that the phone still responds the same way when selecting them). I'm not certain if there would be the necessity of a converter for the files, but I don't have access to computer that I could attempt to convert them on.
So! I suppose my question is what formats the Thrill will recognize or allow for use as ringtones outside of the preloaded few and what method I would have to go about using to get them to work. I've tried using a "ringtones" folder on the sd card and a "ringtones" folder in "sdcard/media/audio" with no results.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The thrill does accept mp3 as ringtone it has to be under 300kb I'm pretty sure. It might be the way your mp3s were encoded I wpuld try finding a ringtone under 300kb and around 128kbps encoding see if that works.

I use ringdroid from the market it's free and super easy to crop your mp3s it takes like 20 sec. hope it helps

I appreciate the input and I'll take a look at the file sizes. I'll also take a look at ringdroid. I have to admit that the battery life on this phone seems to be atrocious though.

[Q] Alternative app for choosing ringtones in settings?

Are there any other app where I can choose ringtones in settings>sound>phone ringtone ? like the walkman app? and what kind of permissions do I have to set? I think the skin of the walkman app is outdated and incompatible with ICS themes. Thanks in advance

I can change the ringtones in PowerAmp. Try it. It's the Best music player so far...

PlayerPro is better. You can use it to change ringtone.
PlayerPro is better than PowerAMP because of its UI and frequent updates. Many people in Android Market says that too.

I was actually thinking of apps that would allow me to do to choose in settings>sound>phone ringtones (see attachment)
I like it because its a lot easier when I want songs in my SD as my ringtone but also when I want to use them as my alarm ringtone.
Thanks to everyone who replied.

RingDroid, simple to use.

Why go to the trouble of using a application to accomplish something Android can do by itself?
- Create a "Alarms", "Notifications" and "Ringtones" folder on your sdcard.
*Use Root Browser or Root Explorer or whatever filemanager you prefer.
- Copy your Alarm/Notification/Ringtone MP3 or OGG into the respective folder.
Once that's done the files you copied in there will show up in the list of Alarm/Notification/Ringtone sounds.
In case Android doesn't pick it up right away simply reboot.
No need to use an extra software to set a custom Alarm / Notification / Ringtone sound.

@B.Jay I wanted another app to do this because I want the option to choose from my 500+ songs in my SD card. I also don't want to add additional data in my internal memory than what's really necessary. But I guess I'm just stuck with the walkman app Thanks anyways.

With all due respect ...

I wrote SDCARD - in no way, shape or form I wrote something about cluttering up the internal memory.
Anyway, if you don't have a few Megabyte left on your SDCARD to create the folders and place your custom "sounds" there then it's your choice (seems I'm somewhat spoiled by the 32GB SD I have in my SGS S2).

Sorry I didn't notice about the SD card but then again that would still occupy space on my measly 8GB SD . Anyways, thanks again
