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?

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

Great thanks!
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!
All my music files appear twice. One of them is playable, the other not.
How can i fix this? Its a little bit annoying....
Settings
Apps
All (4th tab)
Media Storage
Clear Data
For me this only works until I reboot my phone, then the duplicates reappear...
Better than nothing, of course!
Thank you. Will try this.

It can take a while for media scanner to finish - how long did you wait before checking?
Not long enough. Now everythings fine. Thank you very much.

That's ok - I spent some time trying to track similar issues down myself; turned out that some of my .mp3 files had bad ID3 tags....

My google music works fine. And does it really take longer to uninstall/reinstall then it does to make a thread and wait for a reply? Or does this happen often and you have to uninstall/reinstall? Cause like I said, Google Music has no problems for me. However, I'm using a slightly older version (4.1.512) that's was modded to be transparent - don't know if the newest version might have issues?
I'm using 4.1.513 with no issues.
Mine works fine,but i added my own music and only play music at home on wifi normally.Never had any problems with it not showing.

I would try uploading my local music to google music.You can them make your google music available offline as well.
Do you have a custom ROM? Did this problem start with an upgrade such as ICS? I have ICS on a stock, unrooted Vivid. The Google Music app is 4.1.513. As soon as I started it, it found all my local music on the SD card as well as albums on my internal storage I had recently purchased and downloaded from Google. I don't mess with streaming music, so if that is what you're doing, maybe someone else can help you.

Same sd card? If so try reformatting it (backup important stuff, format card, replace important stuff)

This happens to me, too. The easier workaround than uninstall/reinstall is to locate the Google Play Music app under Settings/Apps and clear data.
Then use the Google Music app and go through the usual stuff. Your local music files will be there when you're done.
I know it's not a fix, but it's a better workaround than reinstalling the app.
Am I the only person having this problem?
I can play music via the music widget, but once I go into the app, the app completely freezes and responds to no input. The app crashes sometimes and I have sent HTC log reports.
Is it my SD card? 64gb San Disk.
Though, this morning I was driving and the Car app was able to navigate through my music collection with no issue whatsoever.
Have you tried clearing data for the app?

Nope. Doesn't help at all.
Mine does that sometimes after I flash a rom, it did it when I first turned it on. I think wiping cache and dalvik fixes it.
This is really killing me. My phone MUST play music, and I don't want to install another music app -_-
I like HTC's widget too.
The app is still closing. I cleared data, force closed the app, the widget, and sound enhancer. Still Doesnt respond. Is this an issue or just me?
I'm running barebones app.

I'd try another ROM. No crashes here.
Keep in mind I have had problems with some devices that music with weird
Meta data crashed a player.
Try copying a couple albums to internal SD card.
Then remove SD card and clear data on music app.
First thing music apps do is go read all your meta data it can find.
There are some nice tools out their I've used to clean up meta data.
Like a weird font/character set in track titles can break some players.
Hello,
When I'm playing music using spotify or any other music player aside from the stock one, music controls still appear at the lockscreen but they do not work. Am I doing something wrong?
Sent from my HUAWEI P7-L10 using XDA Free mobile app
No, I have the same problem with every third-parts music player. Controls on the lockscreen works only with stock Huawei music player. (I am on B602)
I have the same issue.
I am using Spotify as my main music player, and lock screen displays what I am playing. So far, so good. When I want to change track though, it switches to stock music player and puts on the classic music which comes with the phone.

Same here. Seems to be a bug in the software.
Is there anyone who found a solution for this problem?
is there seek or scrubber in the lockscreen music control and can someone add a picture of lockscreen music controls

Not sure about the terminology. "Srubber" as in a line which allows you to rewind/fast forward?

Same problem, Poweramp can be used with its own lockscreen so no problem with it.
Problem comes with SoundCloud, there seems no way to change or pause track if not by unlocking the screen or using Xposed with hardware buttons.
same problem is in mate 7 it is just thing what huawei has no idea .. you have to contact huawei about this ..
they need to fix this..
Well yeah we can use music players with custom lock screens. But some people prefer the stock one

If you use lock patern the controls will work. It won't work on huawei lock only.

Tried it. Not working for me.
Hi, I found a solution without the need to root your device in another forum. Since it's in German, I'll quickly translate the instructions:
In ES File Explorer go to /device/system/app
In that folder, look for the file "HwMediaCenter.apk" and touch to install it
If you get a warning not to install apps from unknown sources accept to install this app and proceed
The installation will start now and finish with an error message, which is to be expected
Restart your phone
The annoying default music player should have disappeared. The reason being that due to the unsuccessful installation attempt it got removed/deactivated.
Thanks, it works !
I had the same problem with Spotify, I had to remove Google Music too.
Maybe it's just about the default music player (It can be set in Settings/Manage apps/Default app settings) but since Spotify is not seen as a music player as such, I had no other choice.
Thanks again.
Thankyou
