Hello Everyone!
This is my first post here, so sorry if I do something wrong. I'll learn from my mistakes.
Ok, so I have a Xperia Z1 and yesterday I used the Gracenote (build in app) to get information of all my music (around 500 songs). Well, the problem is that out of all my 500 (mp3 songs) 400 are Romanian songs. And this Gracenote app put wrong covers, names and all that stuff to my music.
Then, I deleted all my music and put it back to the z1, and unfortunately it did not work.
My question is:
How can I delete all the data that this service (Gracenote) put on my device? because all my songs are now ruined.
If its a system app you will have to root to delete it. Use titanium backup.
If not, then goto system/apps and delete it there. You should be able to delete all app data and caches from there as well.

I think OP does not want to delete Gracenote. He wants to delete the Gracenote info.
Maybe OP can clear the app data and cache for the walkman app and see if it works?

Thank you for your answers. I can not find any info on my system about this Gracenote software/app. I would have deleted it but I can't find anything at all, and yes Beautyspin...I just want to delete the info of it. I hope there is a way of doing that without rooting the device...
Thanks anyways all your answers guys. So my problem is still not solved (
So my problem is still not solved...I'm still hoping someone has an idea on how can I get ride of that Gracenote information (without rooting the device)...thanks
Have u tried clearing app data and app cache? In settings-> apps->all look for the app (gracenote, or walkman) clear data.

Under Settings -> Apps -> All, there's a Download music info app. Perhaps you can try clearing the data and cache for that app. Not sure if that's Gracenote though.

Thanks for your idea hush66, but I did not find anything related to Gracenote in there...
This is soooooo annoying...how could Sony agree to have an app like this?...They basically force me to do a factory reset (that will probably fix it)...but I don't want to do that...

You can also put all your music onto your laptop and use mp3tag to edit all the album art and info, then just put it back on your phone

On my laptop it does not say anything at all about this gracenote app, when I go to music info on the laptop it shows what it should show, I mean the real album covers/names. If I go in the folders where each album is, everything is fine...put when I put them back to my z1 (after deleting them from z1) ...they come back with the album cover/names that Gracenote put to them.

OK, I do suggest you root and delete the app.
How does it look in the Walkman app?
Here you can see where how the app looks, you go in it by
WALKMAN -> Settings -> Download music info
Not what I meant.
How does your album art look when you play music in Walkman app? Is it correct or is it the same as gracenote

Well, it looks wrong, for example...
I have an album of an romanian rapper (Nane - Relaxo) and this app has changed the name and the cover of the album in something related to christmas (The Christmas project) so now, whenever I go there, it says: Random Artist - The Christmas Project..and it's this for almost all of my songs...
If I go into the folder (not thru the Walkman app) it will show correctly, and in the folder I can't see any images added or something like that. This is the same for my z1 and laptop.
Follow this guide, maybe its help

Delete your songs from device and move to any flash or computer storage. Then return them to your device again. Sorry for my english☺

Normally it shouldn't but....
Edit: Someone created a topic before, can't find it, he deleted the Playstore APK and Playstore stopped working, so if you're going to delete the stock apk's do it 1 by 1 and test if the app still works after you deleted the apk.
This is why I prefer freezing apps instead of deleting them, using titanium backup. (This does require root.)
Pulls the frozen apps from the menu, but you can unfreeze then on the go and use them again.
Ofcourse also prevents them from automatically starting, hate it when apps run that I do not use.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Hi all, I am from Mauritius and is a happy owner of the Note 1. Friday while trying to review the pictures and video I took few hours ago, my phone says media scanning, like 4 times. I switched it off and on again.
All pictures and video in my gallery were gone!! only received files were here, like downloaded pics, viber or whats app pics.
I am so desperate as I did videos of my daughter's 1st school show on it...I didn't sleep for 2 days trying to find a solution.
Anyone can PLEASE help me:crying: And I have no external memory on the phone I have only been using the internal one.
Do you use any application to stop media scan?, or maybe you have some corrupted media file on your sd.. Download app from play store to restart media scanner service.. Try this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dcd.scanmedia

Or try wipe cache and data of gallery and media scan using its own application manager. Restart phone and let it scan again.

Thanks How do i do that please?
Connect to pc and check if the picture/video are there in DCIM folder.
If they have gone then download free windows file recovery like Recuva.
Enable usb utilities in setting
Scan your phone(which is now removeable storage) for deleted file

Theres a place to see all apps. Use that and scroll to gallery and media app. Clear the cache and data.
Application manager is the one.

Create a "Ringtones" folder in your internal memory and place whatever you want to use as your ringtone there. It will automatically show up at the bottom of the list without needing to push the music symbol.

No clue, never used it myself
Maybe something with the updated walkman application?
Remove the update if you have it or update the app if you didn't already.

Indeed you are correct my friend, i decided to re flash to stock and re root, after deleting all the bloatware individually i did find that walkman was the suspect, i have kept the app on my phone for now but would like to know if there is a work around as i dont use the walkman app, regards.
HI
Just got this phone.
Trying to understand how the My Albums work.
How do I add a new album?
How can I organize pics in folders?
Thanks

It doesnt allow you to create folders like that, you have your default photo folder and a sd card folder, but it wont let you create seperate folders. if you want this function, you would have to get an alternative such as quickpic from playstore

gotya. best thing to do, would be to gain root, completely remove the app from your phone, then redownload it from the play store. without root, not many options are available.
