When I add new music to my internal storage via Active Sync and WIndows media player, all files are transferred correctly, so until now no issues.
But when then navigating to the Music tab in Touchflow3D, The screen says it's searching for new music (no little circle on the toolbar appears) and stays there forever searching.
After 1 day I decided to reset the Device and then when going back to the music tab, it searched again but now got the little circle running in the toolbar and after 1 minute all the files were scanned.
I'm using build 35
Anyone else having this issue or is it normal you have to reset your device after new music has been loaded ?
Or is there a tweak or option I didn't see yet ?
yep having the same issue - i have not been able to find a solution so am going to try getting shot of the music tab and install S2P
try updating your library via windows media player
Yeah i tried this - i deleted the file in HTC under apps data to force a new search but no joy - I can add 1 or 2 files and it works as soon as I put a good few on it stops working no matter what!
OK so I have tried the stock music player, TuneWiki and PowerAmp and all three seem to have the same issue. The music will simply stop playing and it acts as though I pressed the pause button. I have my Xoom in the standard HD dock and I have seen this behaviour both through the speakers of the Xoom and when I have external speakers plugged into the dock.
I have tried to determine if a notification is stopping the music, but it does not appear to be triggered by that. I tried sending myself an email to both my Gmail and Touchdown (exchange) accounts and the notification played but the music resumed as expected.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
I have noticed this too but for me it only happens when loading something or deleting things and it must be using alot of CPU.
not sure if this is correct, but maybe it's not the CPU - maybe it's the internal memory. I mean, let's say you're playing music, and in the background you've got google services, tweetdeck, weather widget etc... updating data and then you open the market and so on
seems like a lot of things using the same memory. If memory was seperate like on the NExus One (some internal, some on sd) it wouldn't happen...
happens to me once in a while on my 3g xoom... doesnt bother me much. however sometimes the music app totally closes(force close) and sometimes the music pauses itself.
Happens to me sometimes too.
Sent from my Xoom
Mine does kind of the opposite....every once in a blue moon it will open the music app
I too have noticed this but only when another application is attempting to make a sound or notify. For example when I am playing music and an email comes through ... the music will pause while the email notification is playing.
I would check your running apps. Some poorly written apps might be grabbing the sound for some reason even though it is not needed by the app.
Mine does this on Wifi Xoom as well, only appears to happen on stock music player, winamp has worked fine. I think I has something to do with other apps running or transfering data over usb.
I think motorola/google need to release a stablity/bug fix update. Theres a few quirks that need to be ironed out.

Yea, stock music app seems to be full of bugs. For me it always resorts to having to reset the xoom because the whole thing crashes. This plus the constant force closes in browsers is really starting to annoy me. Winamp seems to fix the music issue but no other market browser solves the other issue. Sorry to get a bit off track. Google needs to get their act together. I don't think I've ever seen even a windows release this buggy.
Has anyone else had this problem:
When I restart my phone in miui it 'loses' all the music on the phone so that it is no longer visible in the music or winamp apps. If I force an sd-card rescan however the music will once again become visible.
Is there a fix for this as it is becoming quite the pain in the ass, as it means that following a restart my phone requires about 10-15 mins before it able to play any music
Did you try the internal to ext sd mod in the android development section?

I know its silly, but do you happen to have .mkv files in your internal/external sd? try removing them and see for yourself, it will work(sound will not be gone), seems like, a lot have not noticed that the recent release of MIUI has this bug
i am now using latest doc ics rom.. my problem is in music player there is duplicate song entries. how to get rid of this problem..
try:
- Go to settings, Google Play Music, Force Stop, Clear Data
- Same for Media Storage
- Reboot and wait a couple of minutes
seems to help some people. didnt for me, so if you have an ext SD:
- Go to settings, Storage
- Unmount External SD
- Reboot into recovery and clear delvik cache
- Reboot and wait a couple of minutes
the second one solved that media bug permanently for me, although i am not quite sure why
duplicated music

I have the same problem too, but none of above worked for me.
Try DoubleTwist player it does not show me the duplicates.
btw I am using AOKP rom
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.

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.
Best regards,

This worked perfect for me after updating my ROM.
Cleared Data, rebooted, waited for a big, and double entries were gone and music was playing

I use jet audio too and this problem keeps reoccurring. Using Padawan ics rom on galaxy note. I clear data on both media storage and google frameworks and then use sd rescan. That solves the problem but it always returns.
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:
greatdaneduke: Did your suggestion fix your phone (permanently) and did this eliminate your problem entirely over the last 7 months too?

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
Hi guys,
I have just bought the phone.
although the sound is amazing after SGS2, the pop up comes and says that
"Music enhancer has stopped unexpectedly...." I don't know what mean music enhancer.. how to setup and etc..
I have tried to turn of beast audio but still getting this error.
anyone has a similar issue ??
thanks
It happens to me when I try to move music files while lyrics or album art was being downloaded. For me to get it fixed I first went into options inside the music app and turn off download album art, artist photo and lyrics then I wiped data for music enhancer then I restarted phone. After that problem was solved and I turned those album options back on, a bit annoying though every time it happens.
In case it still fc when you restart you need to navigate to root of your sd - android - data - com.htc.musicenhancer and delete that folder as well and restart without any of the options turned on. Hopefully this works for you as it did for me.
