[Q] Albums track listing messed up - Sprint HTC One (M7)

For some reason, a few of my albums get messed up on the HTC One. For example, I have this Michael Jackson album and every song except for the first song is in the correct album. The 1st song grouped by itself for some reason.
I checked the tags and they read exactly the same! In iTunes, there's no issue of this - they group together properly. It's not just one album either; it's happened to a few of my other albums too. Isn't this really weird??? Anyone else with this issue?

Flip / Browse / Scroll through music albums (in TouchFlo 3D)

Hi all,
I have finally managed to get the album art to be displayed in the Touch Flo 3D. When I select a song from the library, the correct image is shown. However, I'm still not able to flip / browse / scroll through the different albums which are stored in the 4GB internal memory. Flo 3D just doesn't display the albums, only individual songs.
When I just unpacked the Diamond, there were two demo albums (with one song) stored in the device memory. Those were displayed correctly, but I've erased those demo albums, because the songs were not my style.
It seems that the Internal Storage is not scanned in a proper way to display the albums, because I get the message "Geen muziek gevonden", which is Dutch for "No music found". But the strange thing is, is that the individual songs are selectable through the library.
I used Windows Media Player 11 to synchronize my music albums. Anyone having similar problems, because I could not find a thread on this.
Is the album art included in the tags? If not you could try that. I don't know if WMP does that, but media monkey and other free apps do. If it doesn't even work then somethings probably not right.
I've added the album art in the tags using MediaMonkey. Before that, the images were not even shown, but as I said, I've managed to fix that. The only problem that remains is that I'm not able to scroll through the albums. Am I missing something? How do you select album flipping? Is this a special combination?
There are a lot of ways to show up album art. Mediamonkey works but i just put the song under content/music, create an folder with the artist name and put the song with a jpg picture in that map. Rename the picture to folder.jpg and you're device creates the album art. Under the touchflow select library and play the song so it shows up.
It sounds like your issue is not in getting album art to show at this point, but in getting the flip interface to show albums rather than songs, correct? I'm afraid you are mistaken about the original configuration. The flip interface always has and will continue to merely show songs. It's just that the original samples only had one song per album, so it looked like it was showing you individual albums. To browse through your albums, you need to drill down into the appropriate screen in the library. The flip interface will only show the songs in your active playlist.

Hmmm, could that be the case? Let me settle with this explanation (for now). Thanks!
I have a stock Sprint TP. I noticed too that the Albums disappeared from the flip interface in TF3D after playing a song. As stated above, to get back to being able to Flip between songs on Albums you need to go to the Music tab, select Library from the bottom then navigate to All Songs tab, select Menu > add to Playlist. Now all the songs in your library are in your playlist and will be displayed on the main Music tab in TF3D.
gbrailsford, thanks that worked great for me! I used windows media player to sync songs and put the album covers through

Music filing issue

I'm having some problems with my music collection. There's about 10 artists whose songs I have correctly labeled, but still appear in multiple lists. For instance, when I click on Audioslave, it takes me to to Audioslave songs, plus Switchfoot. All the songs have the artist names in the artist category, so I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else had this issue?

Check the album artist. I remember running into this brick wall a few months back (albeit not so clear right now, since that wall was pretty hard ). I think that that's the problem.

Music Sync Issue (Unknown Artist)

I have searched far and wide through this forum, and also googled it, and there doesn't seem to be an answer, so I will bring it up again. I have imported pretty much all of my music with iTunes, which tagged and organized all my music. However, when I put my music onto my nexus one, many many albums get sorted into "unknown artist" when all of my music is nicely sorted in folders by artists. This seems very strange to me. People have suggested double twist and a few other various programs, but no one has given any input as to whether these programs worked. Does anyone have an answer for this?
As I was looking through the albums that have been filed as "unknown artist" I noticed that each song had a number infront of it as the designation of which song number each song on the album was. I am going to play with this tomorrow and see if editing each track (this is going to suck, I have over 4000 songs in my library!!!!) will help at all.

well froyo will have the ability to play music OTA from itunes with an update for the music application in the market after froyo releases. it may fix the problem. if you can wait for a few weeks it may be resolved. as for being put as unknown, maybe the artist is not tagged correctly. check the mp3 tags to make sure that data is there
Your ID3 tags are screwed up. Your filenames don't matter, it's the ID3 tags.
Use MP3Tag (google it), it's one of the best taggers there is.
+1 for mp3tag
been using it for years
I dont let any programs "automatically organize" my music
becareful with it though, if you mass edit something incorrectly you could find that all of your tags get messed up
try music folder on the market
Well, thank you very much for the info! I will look into it today and hopefully get my music all sorted out!
I have the very same problem.
Most of the replies here seem to suggest that retagging the mp3s will solve the issue. However, all of my mp3s were working correctly before I upgraded to Froyo. To confirm this, I've just done a restore to cyanogen 5 and sure enough, all were working fine again.
When I used easytag to fix some of the files, they still didn't show up the correct information under Froyo. So, there's definitely something fishy going on here!
I have similar problems sometimes when there are multiple tags (id2,id3 etc). Using an app to clean the tags and reapply them in a uniform way usually works tho.
A seperate issue tho is embedded albumn art doesnt show up for a couple of albumns. The tags are identical to other albumns that work, and so are the image file types used to create the cover art. Anoying! These are the kind of little niggly problems that make jo public buy an iphone

What app would you suggest to clean them up? I've tried using MP3Tagger Pro, but I'm a complete n00b at this sort of thing.
I downloaded MP3Tag, and that did the trick. the only thing is that It does take a long time to get everything set up. And I downloaded the album art from amazon. I have only fixed a few albums, tho. I have over 4000 songs in my library, so I am only doing the ones that I have on my storage card at the moment.

If it makes you feel any better I have over 12000 tracks and some were tagged badly that I pulled from a friemds music library
So I had something strange happen. Ever since I got the update for froyo, all the music on my SD card has been properly tagged (at least it gets sorted correctly by artist, album, etc.) Hooray for FROYO!!

Android music library issues
Hi,
Here is the issue: after installing cyanogenmod 7 on my HD2, I have tranfered about 5Go of music from my pc to the sd card.
The problem is that all these mp3 have proper mp3 tag in ID3 v2.3 in UTF-8, but they are all recognized as "Unknown artists" mp3, and the album is just the folder.
I have tried to transfer an alicia keys album (only a single album) to the phone, also in id3 v2.3, and it is correctly tagged and recognized.
So I've tried to delete de media storage data, and reboot the phone.
At the start up, the system rescan the entirer sd card, but now the alicia keys albums are recognized as "unknown artist" and the album is also just the mp3 folder.
I have the same issue when rescanning with meridian player.
The problem seems to appears only when there are several folder of mp3/large amount of mp3 files to scan ex: >1Gb)
At this point, I've understood several points:
1. android can correctly read mp3 music with tags in ID3 V2.3
2. massive scan of music seems to be the cause of incorrect recognition of mp3 from android.
At this point, is there a way to properly scan mp3 with there tags, even in a massive scan ?

Incorrect Album Artwork

Hi all,
I'm using the stock music player on my Note. I really like the stock player and I don't need all those extra functions from the music player on the Play store. But there's a problem, the music player shows incorrect album artwork. This only happens to the songs with the same album name. For example, I have 5 single songs, each of them have their own artwork. They don't belong in an album, so I left the ID3 album tag blank. On the phone, these 5 singles are recognized in the "Unknown Album" album. Because the phone thinks these five songs are in the "same" album, it only reads the first album artwork, and applies it to all five songs.
I've already tried using cover art downloader, album art grabber, they work great for American songs. But I have a lot of Chinese songs that don't belong in their database, so there's no way for me to fix the album artwork for these foreign songs.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Or are you guys experiencing the same problem?
Thanks

Jump to next song without delay

Hi
I got the HTC One and I am using the default music player right now. I have a few albums in which every song continues where the previous one stopped. When I listen to them on Winamp (PC) it sounds like I am listening to one track instead of 10 separated songs. But on my HTC One there is a little delay between each songs and it also kinda fades in and out. Is there a way to disable this?
And I have another problem. I don't know why this happens, but whenever I copy a new song to my phone that doesn't has a album cover it automatically uses a picture of me as the album cover. I have no idea why this happens, because the picture it uses is not even in the music folder. My HTC One is updating the pictures, but I have also some unknown artists on my phone and I fear that my picture will stay on them.
