Xperia Z; Walkman problem -253 [SOLVED] - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
'Walkman' cannot scan properly music on my device
Both Internal & External memory
i can find music by file manage and play them with walkman (via file manager)!
But walkman cannot show them and after playing via file manager cannot show music info or download !!!
but thr s no problem with scanning of movie app it can show all compatible video file.
Thnx

Edit;
There s problem of getting from WiFi and USB!
I transferred musics via USB So Walkman can scan them properly
:good:

How did you fix this?
I'm confused. My walkman app doesn't see any of my music on my ext SD card.
If I transfer them to internal\music with root browser (where the stock 6 songs are which ARE recoqnized) they still don't show up??
I just inserted my SD card from my old phone. There's no need to re-transfer them via USB for it to work right? That would be iPhone/iTunes like (which sucks!!)

Yeh, I read that.
But I can't believe I need to remove and re-copy all my music so walkman can "scan"them??
This isn't Iphone?!

It can scan all music but show them always in never played play-list !
cause via wifi the music track just transfer ( via ES file Explorer)
maybe via WiFi of PC companion it work better OR a FTP server

Hey folks,
It's not working, transferred the music via USB, Wifi is switched off, able to see the song with file manager but walkman app sadly no show, this is annoying, how does one fix this? or get the app to sync with new music loaded, removed and tried to transfer this twice and still the same result??

The best way to transfer music to SGS ?

Hello all- I have just got a 16gb card in my SGS and have been using Windows Media Player as well as Winamp and it never seems to come out correctly.
I always end up missing album are and the some files end up being deleted, it's just not as straight up and easy as I believe it should be.
What programs do you guys use to get music on your I9000 ?
I was wondering if Kies was any good but I found Kies to be quite slow and spotty.
Any good solid ways to make transfers easy, especially with album art ?
Cheers for any information !!

USB Mass Storage cut and paste .

erm itunes?? isnt that fruit? hmmm lol yes if you find they work fine and are smaller without sound quality loss you should be good. It will just be encoded at a higher rate thus making the file smaller.......or you could change the encoding rate of mp3s to make the file smaller and avoid fruit lol
I use Windows media player. Just set it to never auto sync and nothing will be removed ever. Also just manually sync the songs u want. I also do this via a card reader and my micro SD card while phone is off very fast.

I'm using iTunes on PC, so I install doubleTwist to sync music between iTunes and SGS

That winamp music transfer is great if you use winamp
Use "Media Player" USB Connection mode and sync via Windows Media Player... it will work... the playlists, however, won't.
So, manually copy your playlists (after syncing) to the /sdcard/Playlists folder and use a player that can read .wpl files (PlayerPro)
All will work fine.
Cheers for the help guys. I may avoid WMP and try the card and reader and just transfer that way.
I am quite picky about album art, and it turns out the cover art app is very good !!
Cheers again, LL13-

apparently your search for media files on sd card is not working .. it runs on bootup unless you disabled it.. try to get a program like switch pro widget that lets you re-sync media.

[Q] Music Transfer

Hi there,
I am having problems transfering music on to my LG Optimus Black.
I am not sure where to create a music folder so the default music player can see the music files.
I have created music folders in Audio and in DCIM and in the main menu and the music is on the phone but the it is not found by the default player.
Any help would be appreciated .
Kind Regards
Kev
You put music files (say .mp3) anywhere in your memory card, your player should detect it automatically. So there should be an error reading the memory card.
Try this : Settings >> SD card & phone storage >> Unmount SD card.
Then mount it again. Once scanning of all media files finishes ( You may be able to see the scanning progress and completion notification on top bar. ) you player should work okay.
Also try downloading different players from market. Do they detect your music files?
I'm not that sure but I think the SD already have a "music" folder? mine those, I put all files there and player automatic detected them, even if I have files at bluetooth>music or download>music folders still detect them with no problem

Well even if there's no music named folder it still works. I directly copied my folders from pc such as metallica and linkin park etc and I put it in "my favourite" folder in root directory and it works perfectly..

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....

You will just have to transfer the files again, if worse comes to worse you may have to transfer everything off your card, format it in phone and transfer the files back.

[Q] Nexus 6 and Google Play Music

Has anyone figured out way to keep purchased songs from google on the device? I have hooked the nexus up to the PC and i cant see my purchased songs, at all. Im using music v5.6.160p.1480807. Has anyone else ran into this issue? I downloaded the music to the phone but i cant move it to my pc.. or other media devices.
Google Play Music stores downloaded music in cache which can't be accessed without root and is pretty well buried. Plus the mp3 files are named with random characters.
You would actually want to download Google Music Manager to your PC - just search for it and Google will give it to you in the first result. It's a PC syncing application that runs in the background to sync your music. Open it by the Windows system try and go to settings, there's an option to download purchased music.
Or you can go to music.google.com and download the songs from there.

Thanks I'll give that a try. This seems a little different from the old method of just DL to the phone and browse to the directory and get the songs out of the cahce to add them to the ext SD card.
Download play music exporter , just google and install the apk. It needs root and you can save cached songs to your phone without need of PC

I will try this as well, the google music manager gave me errors saying that it couldnt connect to google servers... but my internet connection was fine. Apparently, this is an ongoing issue..
