Has anyone else had a problem with their MP3s where once you transfer it to the phone/sd it will remove the artist label, for random songs, from the MP3 and treat it as an unknown artist? If I take the sd card out of the phone and throw it in a USB reader it shows the artist name on the songs it is being stripped from in the phone.
Was just curious if anyone else had this issue.
Do the mp3 files also have id3 tags in them?...if they don't, that might be why the phone can't decipher the file name?

I just loaded an album via usb and for some reason only a few songs are showing up on the music player(stock and mixzing). I am running cyanogenmod 6 rc1, I have a 4 gig sd card with about 1 gig free and about 200 mp3's. If I use Astro to look for the files, they show up and can be played but still wont show up on the music player. Anyone know a solution to this problem? I have tried rebooting the phone and unmounted the sd card.

Are they all under one folder? A music folder?
You might have to set a default music folder depending on what player your using.
They are all in a Music folder, I have some full albums in subfolders, but some songs show up and others don't, even if they are not in a subfolder. It seems like its only this latest music loaded that is having this problem.
I downloaded an mp3 tag editor(TagScanner). The only difference I have found between the mp3's that don't show up is where is the Tag Bar. Mp3's that have ID3v1.0 don't show up, seems like all other ones are good.
I had this problem a while back and it was pissing me off as I couldn't work it out. It turned out that I had a space character at the end of some directory names for some reason which threw the scanner off. (Maybe it was a space at the end of the ID3 tag descriptions? One or the other).
Good luck, I know how annoying it is!
does anyone know how to put music thats on itunes one the music player of a hero i tried but when i go to play the sng it says that it doesnt play this file type
I use a program called double twist on my mac. It's not great but it gets the job done. I think it supports Windows now too.
Could also bee cause your music is all aac files and Idk if the hero will play those. Google it. If not you'll have to convert your library to mp3 or a compatible type.

The only way I know of would be to burn an audio CD and then rip it with your computer as an MP3 or similar format the Hero music player can support. The audio format of iTunes is a protected format and without some unique software tricks you cannot directly import these files into another player.
I use itunes agent....double twist does not seem to sync all songs at times, it is quite haphazard for me
You could drag and drop the music from the folder on your computer to the Music folder on your sd card, that's usually what I do, and it works a little better for me than a sync program.
I've used doubletwist and it always syncs really rally slow for me. I love the doubletwist app on android, but the desktop app is terrible for me. When you put the music on your sd card whatever music app you use should read it and load out into your library automatically.
That Being said, do you know what file format up have?

thats how i was doing it and it wouldnt play when i went to my music player on the phone and i found a program called salling and it syncs it but doesnt sync the album that wont play in the first place so i think its the file type that keeping it from playing
If your music is protected then you wont be able to drag and drop it on your sd card. As far as i know, iTunes no longer sells their music that way. Ctrl+i (Cmd +i for mac) will tell you what format your music is in. Under summary it will say either "Protected AAC Audio File" or "Purchased AAC Audio File". I have no problem with the Purchased files but I do with the protected. Hope this helps!

Any idea if its possible to convert the protected aac to a purchased aac format? I ask because aac is usually much smaller than mp3 and before I knew that aac would not play on most players I let iTunes convert all my mp3's to aac in order to save space.
Seems the .nomedia file trick works for keeping ringtones playing in the music player as well. The android music player, like the gallery app, searches and plays EVERY peice of sound file available on the device's memory.
But, once .nomedia is placed in the ringtone folder, you're ROM cannot find the ringtones anymore!
Any solution to this? Why can't these smartphones be "smarter"? Hell, blackberries had this feature ages ago...
You're telling the OS there's no media in that folder, thus it stops looking for any media there. It's not hard to figure out. Despite not being tagged songs, the mp3 or files are still viewed as media.
Does the media player offer some sort of folder exclusion for its libraries? I never use anything but Pandora, so I wouldn't know.

Yea I understood that, but that's basically what I'm wondering - if there's an exclusion folder made specifically for ringstones/notifications. You'd think there would be, in fact, there HAS to be...
There is a way. Search the forums I know its been posted before I just can't remember how. Also, check your gallery thread, try that solution for music, may work.

I don't know about how you're trying to set a ringtone, but try removing the .nomedia file and rename the folder with a period in front (if it's named ringtones, rename it .ringtones, etc.). That should still exclude the folder from libraries, but it still might stop it from being found by whatever method you're using to set the tone.
Also, if you feel like dicking around with the phone's internal media, the ringtones there are stored in /system/media/audio/ringtones/; you can probably add a file there and keep it excluded.
use a different media player. i recommend doubletwist.
I have my ringtones in media/audio/ringtones on my sd and none of them show up in my music player.

Make sure the folder is named exactly as above. I originally fogot the S on ringtones. Once I added it my ringtones no longer showed up in my stock music player.

So first i copied all my songs from itunes into a folder i created on the phone but when i went to media.player each song had a copy of itself, one that worked and one that said no file existed. I took out the sd card and wiped it but before i put it back in i checked media player and each song had one copy and worked petfectly. I put the sd card in and the mefia player went crazy again. Each song had this, <#> song, then when you scrolled down it had each song again normal looking. None of them played. so whats wrong? I completely wiped my sd card and i checked every file on my phone and.found no copies of the songs. I also tried itunes agent and it didnt work as well. Any ideas.

Sometimes my Music Player goes crazy too and all I usually need to do is clear the app data and it seems to fix itself. Maybe it will work for you
Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>Music Player>Clear Data
My music player isnt listed under my manage apps section

I have had this issue for a while now where media scanner only finds about 10 random music folders. I have about 100 individual folders that contain music (albums). Non of the folders contain a .nomedia file or anything like that.
I am using poweramp which finds them all but it is just bugging me that apps like Apollo con't see them. Any ideas?
Doh, figured it out ... it is because most of my albums are in wma format and not mp3 format. Apollo and the like only find the mp3 albums.
