When you're on the main now playing screen, is there any way of accessing the rest of an album? Like on an iPod you can click on the album art and it brings up the other tracks you have in that album. I know you can go to search and then find the album, just wondered if there was a quicker way? I think pressing the album art in Walkman just brings up favourite, add to or the button that links to the song on Youtube.
Also, is it normal that when clicking on an artist in My Library, it takes a fair few seconds for their albums and songs to come up? Shouldn't this be instant?
Click the Queue button top right (next to the album title).

If you're using an SD card it may be a slow card. Get a class 10 card (minimum 10mB/s non-fragmented sequential write speed)
Try NexMusic. Best music app I've come across so far. You just swipe to the left on album art to get to the song list.

Hey, I really like the walkman app but I seem to have a problem. After syncing with Media Go (or transferring the music files manually), I noticed that some of my albums are not displaying their album art properly. I used a third party tag-editor software on my PC to make sure that all the files have the proper album art, but the Walkman app simply does not show them.
Media Go and Windows Media Player has no issues. Shows everything properly. Is this a problem with the app? Is there anyway to fix other than using a tag-editor software?
EDIT:
Force stopping the app and/or clearing the cache solves the problem. Now my collection is just as it should be.

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
Guys, I'm obsessed with keeping a well-organized music library.
I add album art, lyrics and all details to each and every song I download.
I use TagNRaname to achieve this.
Now the problem. On both the Music Player and UberMusic (or any other player), some of my songs display incorrect album art. Like there one of two images that are repeated on several songs, even though those songs have separate embedded album art!
Please help. How do I solve this!
Try 'mp3tag' to add song details.
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
The details are added fine!
Its the phone that messes them up!
I have copied the same music to my iPod and the song art is fine there.

if you are on windows, go to view tab on folder options and check the first one, i.e. Always show icons, never thumbnails.
after selecting this, copy the songs again to your phone, it will show the correct album art.
i had many situations when windows messed up the album art.
Take back the song to your computer and check if the picture is correct.
Also try to wipe the thumbnail database.
Wiping cache didn't help.
This is so weird. Read.
When I copy the song with the messed up art to PC, it has the art embedded, but it doesn't show it. However, when I switch to Large Icons view mode, the art shows. Then, if I go back to Medium Icons, it shows it.
I suppose the problem above is due to the Windows Thumbnail cache. But... why the device? Why is it not showing the art correctly? And what criteria is it using in choosing the random art that it does show in place of the correct art?
did you select the option i have mentioned? did it work?
i believe windows chooses the album art of whichever song you play first in a folder and applies it to all songs which doesnt have any album art.
I even changed the SD Card today lol
And the Windows thing.. No that I don't use. I delete all the album art files created by Windows. I myself embed art into the mp3 files using a software. That way, the song itself has the art embedded in it.
My music library displays correct artwork in my iPod. The problem only exists on the Galaxy, and that too only in some songs.

Windows is definitely messy with the album art. even if you delete the album art, it still shows up messed when you play it with windows player.
for me, selecting the Always show icons, never thumbnails in folder options did the trick.
If you use your Ipod, why dont you try adding album art in Itunes and copy it back to windows and check.
I have the exact same issue. Being a professional DJ, I have to keep my music well organised, well tagged and I also make sure each track has its own album art embedded in it.
I use Media Monkey to tag.
Now, on my Galaxy S, no matter what player I use, some tracks show album art of another track and its just 2 or 3 pictures that show repeatedly on these tracks that are messed up. Its about 30% of the music that shows messed up embedded album art. Some tracks do not show a picture at all despite being tagged with album art. When I mount my SD on the PC and launch Media Monkey, all album art shows up nice and correct. Also, in Windows thumbnail view, all the art shows up correctly too.
I tried clearing Media storage data under applications but no luck. This is so utterly annoying!
What the hell is it with Android and embedded album art?
Some programs just dont encode the album art properly, ive had this happen a few times try this...
download mp3tag - http://download.mp3tag.de/mp3tagv249setup.exe
1 - drag you song that you want to change/update art into mp3tag.
2 - press shift+alt+5 and then change it to "import cover from file"
3 - click save.
the correct album art will now show up on your phone
solution
I had this same problem and it drove me nuts.
I finally realized that android prefers to use album art instead of my (very specific) COVER ART
If i had several songs from the same album, they all had the same art... and of course i didnt want this because I had previously downloaded art for every song specifically.
So what i did was, from my pc, deleted all the album names using "mp3tag" software,
Now the songs had no album reference, so the specific cover art was now displayed.
Hi,
Tried googling about my really ANNOYING problem. My Music app or Winamp no matter which one since they all use the same Media "List" from android gets totally messed up.
Ie, if I want to go see Albums, It makes a "Album" in the list of each song in the Album. So if I want to listen to a Album I choose a Album from the List but It just contains One(1) song which is in that Album.
I cleared data for Music and Winamp and used Dev Tools Media scanner with no luck. Any tips?
I would try removing all the music on your SD card and recopying it. (If you have a card reader I would use that because it will be much faster then via usb)
Hi mates.. i've been struggling to get the lyrics to work.. eventhough i am connected to the internet none of my songs display their lyrics when in lyrics mode.. the app did download, however, the album covers.. when i am on lyrics mode, the lyrics button apeers but dimmed, so i can't select it..

do i have to buy the songs or have sound hound pro? they are just some mp3 i had downloaded before..
You don't have to buy anything.
You might have a problem with the MP3 tags in your tracks. If the tag entries are incorrect or missing, then the lookup won't work properly. It also depends on whether there are lyrics available for your songs. You could try a few songs at random to check.
I can get lyrics for approximately 90-95% of my music library.

Thanks for the reply.. i think it does knows the songs because it got the album covers.. and the musics are quite normal.. avenged sevenfold, Pink Floyd, James morrison, Alter Bridge, Foo Fighters..
getting a little frustated.. lol maybe it doesn't work on every country?
That's a possibility. Have you tried WiFi and mobile data to download?

yes, both.. :S it connects to GraceNotes but no lyrics at all.. only album art..
It took some time on mine but it eventually came. Just stay on the song until it comes. Some are just plain lyrics you have to scroll through, the other is the entire karaoke experience with auto scrolling background glitter and all that stuff.
Also check your tags with mp3tag, it should be something like "id3v2.3 lyrics" or something
No reason for it not to work

Well mine's not working, I tried staying on the song, the song finished and the lyrics didn't come , I think that my mp3tags are fine because the album arts were downloaded without any problems..
Hi, I have same experience. I tried hunderds of song a lyric downloading not working. Album arts and photos are downloaded correctly. When I switch on full screen mode, I see visualisation and for a monet message acces to GraceNote.
Thanks for help
hey guys, just wanna know if im the only one feeling this way
i personally think walkman feels like an unfinished music player
no folder playing, no repeat option, no sorting playlist.
the infinte view and light effects are good, and thats the thing that makes still using it.
if we use other music player, will the light effect still play?
Press on the album art to show repeat option

i'm totally agree with you :good:
thanks for all the reply.
i agree sony walkman has the best sound. the reason im not trying to use other msic player is because usually they have their own equalizer, and not all support the phone's stock sound effect.
manually sorting is way to tedious, i was thinking of having a sort button that ask how will u sort it, by artist name, by song title etc.

no, i mean in my playlist.
when i first create a playlist, i tick the songs alphabetically, but when the playlist is created, the song list was jumbled up, not like the way i added it 1st time. what i mean is, i cannot find a sort button to sort the music list in my playlist. there is only a shuffle button, and in the dropdown menu, edit playlist there is no auto sort, i'll have to manually sort it, n its kind of tedious.
thats why i hope there will be an update for walkman that can play folder so i dont need to create another playlist whatsoever.

well, dunno, maybe im too demanding
but im so used to having a folder playing option on my previous custom music player (on galaxy gio) so im a bit annoyed its not a standard on all music player
Hi people, I Am very dissapointed from Walkman for these two reasons: No folder choosing and no genre choosing for every mood that you are in a moment. Ihave Power metal folders, Rap, Drum'n'bass, Classic and when open Walkman its like one big chaos. What I'm do for that?
First make a new Playlist with name of wanted genre, after that I'm use other player with folder play option and put all folder in desired playlist. And after 5 min of work the chaos in Walkman is ignored and choose to play only that playlist with currend mood.
P. S. Sorry for my english, I am selflerner in third world country.
I'm not sure what you mean by "put all folder in desired playlist", but for me sorting genres as playlists worked. No need to copy any files anywhere. Just create a new playlist and add songs. I suggest doing it on computer using Sony's Media go software. It'll be a lot faster.
