All of my mp3's have correct tags, but for some reason android won't recognize them correctly, but for some reason, if I open the songs in iTag and save without changing anything, all the correct time info shows. How can I fix this without opening and saving each song individually? Also, I tried the Mp3 tag editor app, but that didn't work, only iTag seems to work
I'm having the same problem where most of my songs have "Unknown Artist" and i haven't found a working fix.
I have been able to successfully fix MOST (except 3 or 4) tags on my songs through PlayerPro. You could try longpressing the Unknown Artist group under the artist tab and change only 1 value by checking the radio button next to it. By doing this, PlayerPro edits all tags into a format that can be read by my OB and whilst its not quick, takes about 5-10mins to do, it is much easier than tinkering with tags on PC then copying, eww.
PROBLEM IS that whenever the sd card (where my music is stored) is unmounted from phone (through PC storage or a reboot) the tags are reverted back to their Unknown Artist state.
I would like to see a more concrete solution. Any help would be appreciated.
NOTE: This error has only been happening a few weeks after i got my phone and it was on official Froyo. Problem persisted into GB and Zeus but not any CM based roms (Mokee OS port CiCi, CM9 and CM7 nightly)
If you guys use iTunes to sync your music, use Salling Media Sync. My album art wasn't appearing and some tracks were with no artist.
I used this program, everything worked pretty well and it's free! Works with mac and windows.
http://www.salling.com/
I actually fixed it through Mp3 tag for windows by updating its type of tag, it worked for almost all afternoon my songs, problem came when I switched sd cards.
I'll try with the itunes things
I was thinking it could also be some sort of disk error issue since the problem only started occurring after a few weeks of using my phone. Maybe without 'safely removing device' some clusters have errors etc.
What program do u use to transfer your music files? I personally use notpod and save them on my ext.
You could also try changing the id3tag version using mediamonkey or something like that. Some tags are id3 v2.3 or whatever and some are a combination of other tag formats.

change all the id tag to id3 v2.3 and you will be fine

been there, done that and it didn't work. Tried using MediaMonkey and mp3tag and this other one i can't remember what it was called and there was no change whatsoever.
Any other ideas?

Well I updated the tag version a second time and synced through Salling (godsend app, made syncing so much easier, thanks nhanzes) and everything is fixed. I don't know which of the two things did it though

Hello All...
I have spent DAYS reading here and other places on the web looking for an easy 1step solution for my problem... I have installed S2P and it is great... I love to play the game "Anything your phone can do, mine can do better" to iphone people.. lol.. Anyways, here is my problem..
The S2P software was not displaying the album art so I couldn't do the cool flip throug hte CD thing... So in Monday I decided to try to fix that... I did some reading, and checked if my WIndows Media Player Mobile would display it.. it wasn;t either...
I WAS jsut dragging and dropping onto my SDHC memory card... Read that is the problem as I need to sync it using windows media player on my computer to get it to work... I tried that.. nothing.. I deleted the partnership and tried again.. Still nothing.. I erased the mediaplayer data file from the root directory.. tried again.. nothing nothing nothing..
I read about downloading the cover manually and inserting it as folder.jpg.. That worked perfect.. The problem with that is I have nearlt 50GB of music files.... And that would take forever... Isn;t there a way to just make the hidden album art visable so it goes when I drag and drop? I remember in the OLD days you could see the JPG files in the CD's folder... On my computer, the album art IS There as I can see the image when I use explorer or when I browse my library using MEdia Player... I tried the old trick of making the entire music folder and all sub-directories invisible and then visible to un-hide anything that was hidden, that didn;t work.. I also tried some programs such as AV Album Art Fixer (I just get an error when that program tries to load), MP3Tag and a few others... My problem is I am looking for something that I just point the program at my music folder, and it just either enables all existing album art to a visible copyable file, or something that will automaticall download/copy/whatever the images to the correct folders. Then when I copy them it will "just work"...
I don;t mean to sound lazy, but it is a big pain to have to manually click every album one at a time or to find them myself, download the image, rename it and copy it... Also, please don;t yell at me for not having found the answer myself in another forum or website as I really have been looking for days...
My phone is a HTC 8925 / AT&T Tilt.. But it is unlocked and I am using another carrier (I got Wifi access as well a slower wireless internet working on it). I also have the USB Sync with it as well...
My computer is a Core 2 Quad system running Vista Ultimate x64 edition.
Thank in advance for your help... I really appreciate it!
And on a side note.. a BONUS you could help with... when I scroll through the CD's I manually downloaded the art for.... it scrolls the "narrow" way... I would really prefer it to scroll sideways instead so the CD image is bigger... I tried "opening" the phone to change the rotation, but that didnt; work and seemed to cause problems... This is a minor thing but would be an added bonsu if you coudl help me with that as well... Again, Thank you so much for you help in advance...
Hello,
I'm not too sure if my problem is a unique one. I have searched the forums and most threads, if not all, that I managed to find dealt with trying to get album art to display on their HTC Diamonds. If you find that my problem has indeed been answered previously, I would very much appreciate a link to a thread where I may find my answer, thank you.
My problem here is slightly different: for a single mp3 file, the TF3D player displays a different cover from anywhere else (Windows Explorer, WMP, Winamp, mp3tag). Allow me to give some background info on this:
I have embedded my mp3s with their respective album arts. Every song displayed properly with its album art in the TF3D player previously, since the first day I bought my phone back in July 2009. However, recently (about a couple weeks ago) when I uploaded a Korean song, the entire library of album art has been wiped out in the TF3D player and all songs now display that album art of this Korean song.
Here is what I have done to troubleshoot:
1) I copied out all my mp3's to my laptop. In Windows Explorer, the original cover art is displayed. I opened the files with mp3tag in hope of retagging them, but I found the original cover art there too. I played the files in Winamp, and the cover art is correct as well.
2) I opened the files using File Explorer on my Diamond. It launched in WMP and the cover art was displayed properly there as well.
3) I deleted all the files on my Diamond and recopied just one single file (say, a Beyonce song) into the Diamond. It still displays with the Korean cover art.
4) I tried the solution of deleting the HTC folder under Application Data, while maintaining the Beyonce song as the only song in my phone. Cover art goes blank for a while while it loads... then back to Korean cover art.
5) I have flashed my ROM, did a clean format with MTTY. Still Korean cover art. If it helps, I am running the Gen.Y D2 R5.4 ROM which has HTC Sense 2.1.
From 1) and 2), it seems that the original cover art has not really been replaced by the Korean one, since the real one can still be displayed via other means.
And since cover arts have been displaying properly for the past half a year that I've been using my phone, I would say it should be safe to eliminate the possibility that I am embedding my tags wrongly.
So would anyone have any idea why this is happening, please?
Thank you for your time in reading my lengthy post!
Check your global file associations on your device for all mp3 or audio files using something like Schaps Advanced Config that will show those. It sounds like this cover art has been set as the default somehow.
I'm sorry -- what am I supposed to check using that? For my Diamond, the mp3 files have WMP as their default player.
By the way, if it helps, I am using the Gen.Y D2 R5.4 ROM which has HTC Sense 2.1.

If you run Adv. Config. click on the right softkey and select file associations and make sure your mp3s are associated with wmp or the player of your choice. See if there might be anything there that might give any insight as to why you are having this issue.
It could be a bug with the rom you are using. You could flash your stock rom at least twice then flash back to the custom rom of your choice.
The .mp3 extension is associated with WMP. I'm not too sure if file associations would cause this issue because I am opening the mp3's with the TF3D player... by doing so, I am already opening it from a specific player... it would not matter which program opens it "by default", would it?
Is formatting with MTTY equivalent to flashing the stock ROM? Because I've been flashing my ROM quite a few times over the past week and I don't want to flash anymore. =) But this problem came in before I started using the current ROM (I loaded the Korean song, messed up the stuff, and then flashed my ROM)...
Anyway, my deepest appreciation for your help so far mr.horndoctor! Thank you!

Yeah, I think you're right about the file associations. Sorry. Hmm...I honestly don't know about the mtty format since I am cdma but you've definitely got something embedded in your manila files causing this. That's why I was thinking flashing the shipped rom should overwrite everything. Then if you have all traces of that cover art gone from your music before you reinstall it to your device, it shouldn't resurface. I'm glad I'm not in your shoes! Good Luck Friend!!
Not enough space for music db. Delete some items
For those of you getting the above error, I have fixed it. Seems the database file can get corrupted and you need to remove the DB files and rerun media scanner.
In Root Explorer got to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media and remove all the files in there. There should be 3, 2 are .db files and 1 is a journal file. Then re run media scanner (i use the switch pro widget to run it again) or reboot the phone, which is probably the better option as it will rescan all SD's instead of just the external one.
Then launch media player or video player and everything should be back to normal.
Hope this helps.
This does not address the problem if the music player(s) crashing when there are "too many artists" (65?) in the music library, does it?
Not an issue of library size, but all it takes is a half dozen CDs of "various artists" to crash the music player. I suspect 64 or 128 was somehow set as "enough", the same way the volume control is merely 16-bit. (0-15)

i've got mostly various artist albums and don't have a crashing problem now. try it and see.
Is there a way to do this without root explorer, maybe using commands in the terminal emulator? Sorry but I don't want to pay for root explorer...
This did not work for me. Followed the exact procedure, but after deleting the files, then rebooting to have the media indexed again, still get the same error "not enough space....". I repeated it a couple times to make sure I didn't screw it up. I have ~13gb on the internal SD card.
Sounds like /system corruption problem in older lagfix kernels. It's been fixed in the latest kernels out in last week or two.
Written using grafitti on a Palm VII with 8 megs of ram and overclocked to 32mhz!
Solved!
I had the same problem, "artists form" had the message : not enough space ...
I knew what mp3-files I added just before, and the problem seems to be the "album-name". I added the album of Tori Amos, which is a double-cd.
I had the album-names : "To Venus And Back - CD1" and the albumname "To Venus And Back - CD2".
After the failure message I removed the mp3-files of "To Venus And Back - CD2" and there was no problem anymore. Maybe the name is too long and too much like CD1, what the database can't handle, but the problem is solved now.
(I have Sandisk, 32 GB, Android 2.1, Samsung Galaxy S)
So, check your album-names!
Thanks OP! After a couple weeks of use my ringer would stop working, and your tip fixed it!! I was so tired of doing a factory reset every time this happened. THANK YOU!!

Duplicate songs
Good morning....the problem is not with the device (android) it is with the file details.
1. The problem I think you are having is that albums appear twice, with songs being split between the dual enties?:
2. On your PC right click on the music file (song) and click on properties.
3. Go to details and make sure all of the songs in the album have all of the details exactly the same...contributing artist, album etc. if not change it.
4.Delete the album form your device and copy the newly modifed files to your sdcard.
I do quite a bit of music recording and editing...this occurs alot.
I hope this helps.
Edit: <wrong>
The problem appears to be with ICS mounting internal and external SD cards twice.
Every ICS ROM I've tried has them mounted:
/sdcard
/emmc
/mnt/sdcard
/mnt/emmc
</wrong>
<irrelevant>
I don't know why both are mounted twice.
</irrelevant>
It seems that this will never be fixed, the best solution I've found is to use different applications for music/pictures.
For music I use Poweramp.
For pictures I use Quickpic.
Both of them scan your media separately to the android media scanner and they're smart enough to not scan both mounts of each SD card.
Edit:
Can't be my original reason as you only get one copy of the media first time round, then after each reboot or mount as USB drive you get another and another and another.
I guess the media scanner doesn't compare newly discovered files against its existing database, it just adds new entries every time it runs which is why the list keeps growing.
Anyhow, Poweramp and Quickpic are the way to go. Poweramp is worth the money it costs, but if you can't/don't want to pay for it then you'll have to go through the abundance of other music players to see if they avoid the duplicate file problem.
The solution is to use power amp for music...in its settings you can select which folders to scan and hence over come the problem
I have this same problem. every music track (not albums) is duplicated three times. file explorers show a single file but its three files in a music player. but sometimes it goes away, by itself (or I don't know what I did). its not a big deal for me since it won't treat these three duplicates as three different tracks, instead it treats all three as a single file so there is no repeating when playing an album.

Trial version:/
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Imho it depends on the rom.
I used ICSSGS 4.2 quite a while where this bug was present.
When I switched to CM9 nightly the bug vanished - until today it is definitely due to multiple scanning of the external SD.
Hopefully it just because of switching to the latest version.
If so I would recommend to use CM9 nightly where this bug should not be present anymore.

Hmmm ...
So this whole scenario has happened to my Samsung "twice" this month (Nov 2012) and the other Samsung on my account, 3 times this month. I have to admit though since my Samsung's are only 2+ months old, the one thing I did when I got both phone(s) was alter ever single album detail! I'm starting to wonder if this is the culprit but the thought of having to revert all of the album details to their original state, then delete/then re-load music back on BOTH phones (4-6 hours of work) .. I'm sooooooooooooooooo dreading this.:crying:

Hi SSHollywood.
greatdaneduke was wrong about what causes the problem.
The assumption made in step 1 (if you can call it a step, it's not really a step, but it is next to the number 1) wasn't the case for me or anyone else I've spoken to with the issue.
I know what greatdaneduke is talking about and I have seen this before, but it's not the case here. What greatdaneduke was saying is that when you write the tags for mp3s, sometimes it's written to the file slightly differently, then this causes the program you're using (Android in this case) to see some of the files from 1 album and some of the files from another album, even though when you look at it, it looks as though they all say Insert Album Name Here. The only cure to this is to delete the mp3 tags and rewrite them from scratch, and hopefully this time they are all written the same way.
The actual problem is this...
It's a developer based ROM which has bugs.
One of these bugs is the way the media scanner updates the media library.
The media scanner will run every time the phone boots up/reboots or when the phone is disconnected from a computer.
Each time this happens you get another listing of your music in your library.
There are 3 ways of fixing this, listed from least expensive/most infuriating to most expensive.
1. Wipe your media data before every reboot and before every time you connect to a computer, this way when your phone boots up or is disconnected from a computer it will have a blank media library to update. This will get annoying and you'll probably forget to wipe the data each time.
To do this you need to:
a. Go into Applications -> Media Storage.
b. Force Stop Media Storage.
c. Clear Data Media Storage.
2. Use Poweramp for music (there's a trial version but it only gives full features for 14 days) and use Quickpic for photos. Both these apps use their own media scanners so they don't have the duplicates problem.
3. Buy a new phone. Samsung Galaxy S original is now 2 and a half years old, it's very dated and developer support is dropping fast.

You suggest buying the first gen Galaxy? Ive got the skyrocket and I think that ICS is dog doo.
I never had this problem when I had gingerbread. I sent my phone in for warranty replacement and it came with ICS already installed. Getting multiple music entries all the time except only one entry will play all duplicates don't play, rendering my shuffle function useless as I get the silent tracks the majority of the time.
Guess its time to finally root. I was on the fence but with ICS it seems obvious that rooting is the only way I'll get an enjoyable phone experience.

No, what I meant was it's time upgrade to a new phone because I assume they currently have a Galaxy S 1 which is an old phone.
As this question is posted in the Galaxy S 1 forums I'm guessing anyone commenting on the thread currently has a Galaxy S 1.
Personally I've moved on to the Galaxy S 3.

Please edit - Google Play Music = Music.
sdcard/media
I had this problem with some tracks too - I used ES File Explorer (although the stock 'Files' app may work too) to search the whole phone for one of the duplicated track names. It found one in my 'music' folder on my SD card (where I'd copied the track to) and another in "/sdcard/media". I don't know what that directory is for - it doesn't have all my music in it, and it seems to have some I can't remember listening to, so it doesn't look like a cache. Either way, I deleted the files in it, and the problem is solved.
I'm guessing the music player could solve this by only scanning certain areas of your system (which avoids getting ringtones and app sounds into the music lists), but AFAIK, Rocket Player (my music player of choice) doesn't seem to be able to do this
Either way - if your music player is showing duplicate tracks, check to make sure you have actually only got one copy of it on your phone! Hope that helps someone out
I've started to have a weird issue. I don't know when it started happening though. I went into apollo to listen to some music and nothing showed up in the library. I always use apollo to listen to music so all of the sudden just nothing is there when there are normally around a thousand songs. I tried using the google music app and that one didn't show anything either. Is there some setting that could be blocking the these apps from scouring my touchpad for music files? Most of the music is in a folder called HP Music because I imported the music when I first got the touchpad running Webos last year. When I first switched to CM7, all of the music just automatically imported itself. Same with CM9. So I am at a loss for why this is happening. I was previously running the Aug 11 2012 nightly for CM9. The music definitely worked a couple of days ago while running that nightly. I then today decided to upgrade to the Aug 16 2012 nightly to see if that would fix the problem but no dice. Music still is not showing up in the music libraries. It is worth noting that I can open up the hp music folder, select the song I want and then it will play in the ES media player. Any thoughts guys?
I have also just noticed that when I long press on the home screen and select gallery, it says 0images/videos available.
Thanks!

Apollo does not recognize music folders starting with a number
For other people that found this page on google... I was having trouble with some folders that Apollo was not loading. Turned out their names started with the year of the album and as soon as I changed the folder are it appeared in apollo
I was having the exact same problem last week. I couldn't figure it out, and I spent over four hours trying to understand why my gallery and Apollo showed no files. Then, I would plug my TP into my PC, and saw that only the "Notifications" folder would show up in MTP. I tried everything, including clearing my cache, fixing permissions, clearing the Dalvik cache, uninstalling apps, moving apps the SD Card etc...
I finally said screw it and restored to a month old backup, and voila, the problem was solved. If I would have known it was a pesky ROM Manager update, i would have thrown my Touchpad at the wall.

I was having the exact same problem last week. I couldn't figure it out, and I spent over four hours trying to understand why my gallery and Apollo showed no files.

Lucky. I've searched for those pesky .nomedia files and deleted them all and yet Apollo nor Play Music populate with my music at all. My music folder originally was named downloads from webos, I tried renaming to Music and that didn't work. I'll have to dig around for a backup I guess, though I doubt I have any.

...Can't believe I missed that, I literally Google'd the crap out of that last night. Thanks man, working all fine now.
I also seem to have overlooked your previous post with the same link.. Guess I'm either blind, or its just the color scheme of the forum that makes it blend in easily..
[Solution to Apollo Music App]
There are a lot of ".../Android/data/no media." files. If you noticed when you rooted your phone and you had to use CWM or TWRP, folders such as 0, emulated, legacy, and storage were made and duplicated multiple times. If you want your Apollo to start showing songs, you're going to have to go through each and every "Android/data" and delete each no media. files. I can't tell you the exact places where your Android/data file occurs, because the amount of occurrences depends on how many times you've formatted the SD or rerooted with another ROM, but if you can delete all of them, Apollo will start working.
I'm not responsible for your lost of data, information, contacts, etc.
**DO NOT DELETE THE WHOLE DUPLICATED FOLDERS (0, emulated, storage, legacy, etc.) FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE ALL CONNECTED + AND FOR STRANGER REASONS IF YOU DELETE A PART OF THE FOLDER such as the NO MEDIA FILES, all of them won't be deleted.**
I don't know why, but it happens. Thank you for reading and I hope everything works for you :]
This happen to me,
When i accidently put nomedia files on sdcard root, then suddleny missing all playlist songs in Apollo player,
Then fix it easily is with delete nomedia files from root sdcard and then move your songs folder in root sdcard.
And to make sure, clear Apollo's data app.
It's works for me
