playing the data just brings an error.
I

Deleted the folders album and artists now and deleted the loaded mp3 on the usb stick.

i have just around 10 reloaded once. all the new once are loaded as well.
the old once just loaded a couple of artists and just 1-3 songs in each album.
can someone help?
edit:
Songs playlists and genre on the other hand refreshed on the app without problems

Duplicate Songs

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!

Media Scanner causes playlists to erase every song

Whenever my phone says "Media Scanner running" after only mounting my phone with my computer, it erases everything in my playlists. They completely empty out. The playlist itself is still there, but all of the songs inside are gone. For some reason, I have one playlist that consistently keeps a single song (the same one everytime) in the playlist, but any other song in the playlist will disappear.
I prefer to use winamp, but this issue is with every media player.
I've done a lot of searching and googling, and all I've found were a few others with this same issue, but nothing to fix this problem. I'm running Serendipity 6.3. Any ideas?
EDIT: This has happened on any ROM I use.

Playlists on 2.0 beta

What is the best method for getting the tab to recognize my playlists. I use Mediago to sync and transfer for both my Xperia X10 and My Tab. The format is m3u. Playlists worked fine on froyo, but on 2.3.3 the tab only picks up 2 or 3 of my playlists randomly. Ive tried deleting all music from my tab and resyncing, again it only picks up 2 - 3 random playlists and thats it. I though it might be an issue with power amp, so i switched to player pro, still didnt pick up my playlists. Ive tried playlist purge and playlist clean, still no go. Ive tried forcing media resync as well as trying it with ./no media inside my music folder to see if the apps themselves would recoginize them, and moving my playlists to theyre own sub folder. Playlists seem to be tied to some database in the OS, but where and how do you clear it or fix it. Id rather not have to manually create my playlists on the tab itself as I have approximately 25 of them.
Anyone have any suggestions please let me know.
NVM, figured out a workaround for now. Seems like the media scanner only picks up 1 playlist at a time....so......i had to do media scan 25 consecutive times just to get all my playlists

Media list reset?

Hi,
Tried googling about my really ANNOYING problem. My Music app or Winamp no matter which one since they all use the same Media "List" from android gets totally messed up.
Ie, if I want to go see Albums, It makes a "Album" in the list of each song in the Album. So if I want to listen to a Album I choose a Album from the List but It just contains One(1) song which is in that Album.
I cleared data for Music and Winamp and used Dev Tools Media scanner with no luck. Any tips?
I would try removing all the music on your SD card and recopying it. (If you have a card reader I would use that because it will be much faster then via usb)

HTC One & Media Folders

I plugged up to my pc and put albums in the music folder and picture albums in a pictures folder. When i open the music app, it doesn't see any music and same with gallery, cant see anything only pics i've taken with phone. If i use my file explorer it see's everything, opens it and plays. I tried third party gallery like quickpic and it works fine. Poweramp works fine as well for music. The stock software isnt showing anything. I factory reset phone as well and same thing. I've been using android for the longest and first time encountered this. (EVO, EVO 3D GS1, GS2, GS3, Skyrocket, Nexus 4)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've noticed the same issue here. I can connect to a network share, copy music into the Music folder (or media/music) but it wont appear in the Music app, or DoubleTwist. The same is true when copied over USB. Not sure how to get it to detect the music. If I navigate to the folder, I can launch individual songs, but the players wont read the tags, or add the song to it's database...
Force close media storage and use
Media scanner on the play store right after fc-ing media storage.

That didn't seem to do anything for me. I did get music to appear once though by using DoubleTwist AirSync yesterday. I sync'd some crappy windows sample music successfully via that method last night. It showed up in DoubleTwist and the HTC Music app. So I manually deleted those albums and attempted to sync an album I recently got. That time it showed up in DoubleTwist but NOT the HTC Music app. I cannot figure out what the hell is going on or what to do about it. I've tried 3 different media scanner's from the play store and none have done anything for me. I've tried copying my music to various folders hoping they'll get caught in a scan but still no success. Is everybody else able to use the Music app with no problems?
I thought I was the only one. I tried to install Swype also and that didn't work either

still no fix for this problem? will anyone care to reply n help me out?just got the htc one n this glitch is RUINING the brand new phone for me what did the OP do?
So I just found a way to get everything back .
First download a root file explorer (one able to gain root)
then navigate to your root it should be just a "/" then go to /data and then /data/media.
Bam that's where everything is! now just move all the folders to the main sdcard directory, /sdcard or delete the files that are in /data/media if you don't need them anymore.
Good Luck and hit "Thanks" if it helped :laugh::laugh:
