stock music player changes in froyo

Hey guys anyone know of any new changes in the stock music player? Will there actually be an EQ? I even noticed the music player looked different at the Google IO correct me if I'm wrong if anyone knows anything let us know even though the froyo out now still has some bugs thnx

Mine did not play .aac files

No changes yet. The demo was for whats to come in a later update. Theres absolutely no change in froyo.

No change in Froyo. The new music player is for the Gingerbread update.

That is a shame, if google put as much effort into the music player, as they did the gallery, they would be set.

Mine didn't either

thnx I wish they would sooner because the music really SUCKS and is flat on there

Nope, no sign of the Music player demoed in the keynote. I suggest Cubed, it's a very slick music player.

I like mixZing too. Automatically makes intelligent choices on what to play next based on your current music queue

are you sure look at when that guy transfers music onto his phone from a computer the controls look different unless he is using another player?

apk path has to be different, because i tried to apply the music mod that was available on 2.1 (allowed you to put a decent looking widget with album cover on a screen)
now i have two copies of music :/ my headset buttons control only the froyo version, but not the music widget i want.
sucks, lol

Hey guys if your having problems playing some music files here's what you do:
Put the music that you can't play on your sd card.
Get "Astro file manager" from the market.
open the app and find your music.
select the song click and hold it...
select "Edit" and then "Rename"
delete what ever is after .
(for example, song Iloveyou.wma)
(delete the wma and type .mp3
and your all SET!

I cant play .wav files, I get voicemail from my office (exchange) in a .wav format and I cant play them anymore (used to on 2.1).
Runing 2.2 now, any suggestions?

I contacted the developer of btunes and he said he doesn't even have permission to develop or put an equalizer on his music player whatever that is supposed to mean? lol

Same here. My voip carrier send voicemails as GSM6.1/wav email attachments. My N1 cannot open play them. So I have no suggestions but would love to be able to play them on the phone.

I am looking for a way to fix this as well... but I have not had any luck finding anyone with a fix.
I suppose it is just not as important to very many people... but it sure would be nice to be able to listen to my voice mail I get in my inbox.

Hmmmmmm...
I seem to be able to play wav files in the CM music app, Rock Player, and PowerAMP. Suggest trying one of those...

I had the same problem until I upgraded to Gingerbread (using micromod777's ROM). Now all of my music has been recognized again.

It works, I always use it
Offline mode works but you need to remember to select the offline option to download the lyrics you are viewing to the sd card or internal storage

what about itunes embedded lyrics?

Still no one figured out how to see the itunes embedded lyrics in walkman?
I mean, 90% of songs in my itunes library already have embedded lyrics, it would be much handy to get an option/hack to show it in walkman instead of downloading again on sd card with another program....

[Q] Walkman app FLAC, bluetooth

First of all, can someone confirm whether it will play an album as a flac file via cue.
Secondly once connected to car's bluetooth playing the above flac, would it display on the car dash the particular song title rather than the name of the whole flac file?
Thirdly, what is the bluetooth car phone performance, does it connect to the car automatically once it's been paired originally. recent calls, phonebook options?

FLAC title's still don't seem to be completely supported, you'll most likely just get the file names.
I recommend you to convert your stuff to 400Kbps (VBR) AAC's. The difference in sound quality should not be audible at all on the Xperia Z (I didn't) and if you do the conversion with Foobar you don't lose any metadata.
I haven't verified it but I'm pretty sure single FLAC+CUE doesn't work.

Is there anyone who can actually confirm this?
Also what about the second, third question in the OP?

Just tried, no cue support in Walkman app. Can't help with car/Bluetooth questions, not using it.

Would it play the flac file at all, even without cue support?

Yes no problem with that, FLAC is supported.

[Q] Some albums shows unknown artist

Hello.
First I just wanna say sorry if my english is bad, its not my first langues.
I got Xperia Z for some weeks ago, and its working fine except for one thing.
When I put in Flac-music from my computer to the phone, with the program called Media Go, some albums show as unknown artist and is 0 secs long, and isent able to play at all.
I manage with one album by puttiing it in the phone and then delete it and then put it back for like 10-20 times, but that havent worked with the other albums.
So someone that knows how I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

What app are you trying to play them in? I think the Walkman app has issues with FLAC files, you might be better off converting them to MP3 (or similar).

its the normal app, that is called Walkman, yes.
Do you know if they will fix the app soon? Or if I can get some other good app that can manage flac-files? Because I really wanna use Flac-files, thats one of the reasons why I got android instead of iPhone.

I did a little more Googling, and it looks like the Walkman app *should* play FLAC files.
Can you check that the file copied over correctly? Maybe try playing it in another player. Google Play Music (orange headphone icon) plays FLAC files.

Walkman plays Flac just fine

it should be able to play Flac? Then why is it doing the thing its doing? And how do I fix it?

Did you try playing them in Google Play Music?

No I havent done that yet, I havent been home, but I try it now

How do I put in music inside this app?

I managed to put in a song inside the app, but it happend same thing as with the walkman-app...now what?

It automatically scans your sdcard for files it can play. If you saved your files on an external sdcard, move them to the internal /sdcard/Music directory. (You shouldn't need to do this, but do it anyway to be sure.) Reboot your phone afterwards to ensure it rescans for changes. (Again, you shouldn't have to do this, but we want to be sure.)
If nothing shows up, then the files might be corrupt.
You can check their file sizes using File Manager and comparing wit the ones on your PC.
You can also copy them back off your phone to a temporary location and see if they play on your PC.

the files work on my computer, I have already tryed that, I have played them many times.

So you've copied a file back off your phone and it played on your PC, but neither Walkman nor Google Play Music will play the file. Is that right?

thats correct, yes.

If I check in the folders on the computer, I can see that the song that dosent work on my phone, gets to the right artist-folder in the phone, and I can play it with the computer.

See if this file will play with Walkman or Google Play Music: http://archive.org/download/Jesi_Demo/Demo_-_02_-_Corporate_Dirty_Work.flac
If it does then the problem could be with the tags on your files. You can use MusicBrainz on your PC to automatically tag your music. Just try with one or two first.

How do I remove the ID3 tags? Sorry, but I am kinda bad at these stuff.

Check my post above.

ow, sorry, I missed that. Thanks alot for your help!

You're welcome. Did the file I linked to play?

Check in the settings of Apollo for searching, if not, perhaps the music is only being saved/accessible by using the app, so move the music to a separate folder on the root of your desired storage and check again? It's working fine for me having the UK top 40 in a folder on my SD card, it's all read fine..

also check if you have .nomedia file in your music folder perhaps

The music files are located on external sdcard under mp3.
I try to copy some of music to another place but don't help.
.nomedia is not excited on external sdcard I under mp3
When I go to tubemate select a video and click on save as mp3 then flash a ROM the music is not showing but under Video Player I see the music video that I save as mp3 format.
Maybe it help to know when I was having my neo and the music are it was not showing I change the mp3 ending to m4a and it was working but now dont work.
