[Q] Foreign Characters in Google Music - Moto X Q&A

Whenever I add new Korean songs onto my Moto X from my computer, the name of the song and the artist are always replaced with random characters
such as accented vowels and punctuation marks. Is there a way to keep the name from changing? The only solution that I've found is to manually rename
each and every song and artist using Poweramp (or any music app that allows tag editing).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Is there really no fix for this?????

We need a better mp3 player for android

I use my phone as a mp3 player alot but the software that came with android is very limited and does not give you enought options to use our phone as a fully funcional mp3 player. Like for example creating playlist, search songs by name or artist with the keyboard. etc.
I hope some developer is working on a better player...
You can do all of that you mentioned already. To add to a playlist long-press on a song and choose add to playlist and you can make a new one or add to an existing one. To search just slide out the keyboard and type it will return all results for artist, song, album, everything. Hope this helps

thanks you right about everything. I just found something else I have every album in separate folders let say I would like to select just one folder to play that album only, is there any way to do that, because as far as I see the player looks for all the music files in the sd card and display them in the library together.
thanks
I don't think you can organize by folder but maybe try clicking album on the home page of the MP3 app? That will read all the ID3 tags of the MP3's and sort them by album to play. Unfortunately what sucks for me is a lot of my music files are .m4a from my iPhone which the G1 can play but I don't have album art or tags or anything and it blows because you can't add tags to them and I don't have the time to convert them to mp3. Oh well, hope this helps you!
i think we will see a lot more once paid apps come- coreplayer are working on an android version for one.
I just figure another issue, I create a folder with ringtones .mp3s and the player put them on the play list to This is crazy it should at least ask you if u want to add the new audio files to the play list. now I have 10sec ringtones playing on my playlist
I'll pay for a player with all the features that an audio player should have.
What folder are you putting your ringtones in?
I have my ringtones in a folder named 'ringtones', my notifications in a folder called 'notifications' and the media player doesn't pick any of them up.
One thing for sure, Shuffle blows for some odd reason. It's always the same damn order! The only way to get something different is to Shuffle -> Party Shuffle. This needs to be fixed.
Also, it would be nice if they added the fast search (like in contacts, dragging letters on the right) to the song list, as well as speed it up quite a bit.
I'm not impressed with the MP3 player. I'm hoping someone is working on one that is a little bit more iPhonish, as I like the looks/usability of that. S2P for WindowsMobile nailed it.
Is there something wrong with tunewiki? maybe that is more to your liking?
I like the double click headset to change tracks, single click to pause/resume. Although i'm not sure if this functionality would exist with A2DP? It could do with a few more features i'll admit, but it looks fine to me.

Samsung Galaxy 4.0 Android MP3 Player.
Samsung calls this an MP3 player, but it is really a great Android phone -- without the phone. The form factor is great for carrying around. I find I'm using it much more than my iPad to access email, listen to podcasts, watch videos, and more. The Gingerbread Android OS is snappy and easy to use. With Skype and Wifi, you get voice/video connectivity.
Samsung Galaxy Player 50
Agreed. The stock app never allows me to view my playlist like the iPod does.

Check out MKZIplayer.
Great for video and music
If you use a custom rom you can download "PlayerPro". Best MP3 Player.
(Or try "Apollo", its included in Cyanogenmod from FreeXperia)

[Q] MP3 Compilation Album

I bought 'Anthems' Ministry Of Sound Electronic 80's Volume 2 from Amazon MP3 and it shows in Music as about 60 different 'Albums' each with one song in it. Perhaps 2 songs if there is more than one track by a particular artist on the compilation. This is not good as I can't play the Album.
I imported the set of MP3s into iTunes, and it shows on iTunes and on my iPod as a single album. Must have got that from the ID3 tags, I guess?
I deleted the album from my Amazon MP3 folder on the Galaxy, then used DoubleTwist to import it back onto the Galaxy from my iTunes library, and it /still/ has 60 different 'Albums'.
How can I get this album to show as one Album? I've tried the Galaxy stock Music player, and MixZing and Zimly. They all show it as multiple albums.
I'm trying to get rid of my iPod and use the Galaxy as my main music source, but things like this are getting me down.
Please help!
Thanks
Done some searching and I find that compilation albums are a sore point in Android and no app will sort them properly. A lot of my music is multi artist compilation and it's just a mess in any player app that I can find. Just tried winamp too.
Guess I won't be replacing my ipod after all

Just use the folder option in the library to play the album.

Not sure what that means - if I look with Astro or My Files apps, each song is in a folder of its own, hanging off the 'Music' folder on my external SD. Single artist albums have all the songs in an Artist/Album/Song hierarchy.
it was probably done that way by doubletwist.
Download media monkey, copy the compilation, go into media monkey, find that copy, then using media monkey select all tracks, and change album name to whatever you want. Done!
Fix Found
Had this issue, it appears it's an ID3 tag error.
You can fix it by getting an app called ID3 fixer.
Select the folder that holds your music and set the charset to "US-ASCII (English)"
If you still have issues, try different charsets.

Music App & ID3 Tag Problems

Hi All,
So, I recently went through my MP3 collection and finally cleaned up all my ID3 Tags (Specifically Artist and Album Artist fields) using Mp3Tag which tags in ID3v2.3 which is suppose to be android friendly (which took HOURS). Now when I actually sync any large amount of songs to the device many (tons) of them many of them display unknown artist, which just cant be because they all have these fields filled in. Now I know the XOOM uses the MTP protocol and so I have tried using WMP and Songbird to sync over to the device as well as just using window's 7 explorer to copy files over to Xoom. In all cases as soon as the MP3's actually get on the device it self it starts reverting the metadata taging on my MP3's back to the way they were before I cleaned them up. I have no idea how. This is honestly driving me nuts. To test this out I have removed all tagging data from some of the files and manually refreshed it and it still happens. Any other music nuts out their seeing this, and if so have you figured out a way to get around it?
Thanks,
Jvward
PS I honestly love the Xoom even with this problem its my fav
what program did you use to do all your tag editing? i recently did this with my 120GB music collection (96% legal too) so i can sympathize with the amount of effort it takes. i have however, not experienced the problem you described.
drop one of the affected files into your dropbox and pm that long with the correct and incorrect tag data to me. lets see if i can duplicate problem.
I sent you all the info please let me know anything you find, this is driving me nuts lol.
Please let me know what program works best for getting album art for my collection.
having the same issues what a pain in the ass, have to edit in winamp/itunes! WTF
Actually check out STAMP ID3 Editor very easy and its adding everything to the correct folder, artist, album and album cover...let me know how it works for you!

Edit the ID3 Tag of each song. Download an ID3 Tag editor. Make sure they have theyre different album name. Preferrably they are name accordingly to from what album it is. And using ID3 tag editor you could assign song name, artist name and album art also. If there are more questions Im very happy to help

Another way is to use from MP3dit.apk to check and change everything on mp3 files.

[Q] Albums track listing messed up

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?
