Hi,
I made a playlist (with Media Go) a few months ago with 269 songs on it.
Today I noticed that my phone deleted lots of songs that don't have an artist / have under unknown artists.
Now I have 100 songs in that playlist, all the ones which had artist names are still there but most of the songs that had an unknown artist were deleted.
The only songs with unknown artists that weren't deleted were 4 out of the 9 that started with B.
Anyone know why my phone is randomly deleting songs? I didn't install anything new recently

If so, I am sorry. I might not be able to help you then..
Hmm I reformatted my sd card and reloaded the playlist onto it. It's only been two weeks but it's started again.
This time all of the unknown artist songs that didn't start with I got deleted.
Also this time the music player refuses to play random songs (It plays for one second (I can hear the song) then immediately switches to the next track, I can't find similarities between the songs that the phone refuses to play.)
Finally when I open the camera app it says:
"Memory error
Memory write protected. Could not edit files."
But there is no protection lock or anything on the micro sd card

I am guessing this has to do with damaged sd card. Could you try to use another sd card just to check?
Possibility may also include that your sd card wasn't formatted the way it supposed to be. I suggest formatting it (after backing up your data) through Android itself.

Oh you mean the counterfeit ones eh? Man, you should not use them in the first place, despite its reliable price.
Try to buy a genuine one after this, by that way, it could ensure that files are safe within your sd card.
Aight I am waiting for your response!

separate the sounds from the songs on your sd card or install htc audio manager.

Hey,
I got my TD2 this morning and i love it.. such an amazing phone.
Altough probably from my mistake, i have problems with my music.
I got a MicroSD card, and i put some songs on it, and put it in the phone, and they played fine. Bu then i wanted to be cool, and a few of my songs didnt have an album photo, as i was scrolling between them, so i thourth i add photos to everyone of them. I got my MicroSD card out of the phone, and deleted the songs of it, and added photos to my old songs and put those on to the SD card again. But in the phone, in the Music album at "Now Playing" all the list of songs shows, without album and i cant click on them. I cant play it, a cant delete (i dont know how.)
If i go to the File Explorer -> Storage Card -> Sounds -- Its empty, but there are all the songs on my phone, and idont know how to get rid of them.
How do i clear the whole playlist, artists, songs on the phone ?
Or what do i need to do?
Anyone got any ideas ?
I apprichate the help in advance.
Have you tried a soft reset?

When I first got my TD2, I loaded a lot of my MP3 music into the SD card; these albums also have pics. Then when I ran music from TF3D, after a few secs, the track will hang. This happened not only to MP3 from my SD card, but also MP3 titles that are preloaded into the TD3 (2 music pcs I believe). I tried all sorts of things; even wrote to HTC Support but could not resolve the hang problem. Then, by coincidence, I put a different SD card (with no MP3 files) into my TD2. To my surprise, the hang problem disappeared. Subsequently I deleted almost all of the MP3 files from my original SD card, but kept just 2 albums (with pics), and TF3D Music played these without any problems. Still don't know the cause of the hang; I know the MP3 files were a problem, but can't pinpoint exactly which MP3 file or pic.
Oh guys, your awsome
Thanks very much for your help.
Hey guys. Ive tried reflashing quite a few times now, and for some reason no matter what rom i try my phone is no longer scanning the media on my phone. i have music on my phone in the form of mp3's that will play when i use astro to browse to them, ut do not show up in any media player including the stock android one. an thoughts? as to whats going on?
things ive tried,
New sd card
Reflashing and wiping
Cyanogen clockwork recovery and amon ra
going back to a nandroid where it did work ( it no longer does)
deleting all my music and putting new music in
reformatting the sd card.
any other ideas? or if anyone knows a fix, please help!
Do you dump all of your mp3s in 1 folder? I've found that if I do this, the music player will scan some but not all album art. I know you're not getting them detected at all, but try adding music in subfolders so maybe when it scans 1 folder with hundreds of mp3s it doesn't get overwhelmed. If you're adding a lot of music at a time, try adding just afew mp3s and see if that works.
Thanks for the reply. just tried it and its still a no go :/
You sure you don't have a .nomedia file in the same folder as the music or your music folder doesnt start with a .? (like .music will not be scanned)
nope nothing with a dot or a nomedia file.. i found out if use force scan with meridian media player it finds my music, but its only temporary. as when i exit. it loses everything again :/
edit: i just tried a non sdhc card. the original 2gb card and it works.
however i want to use my 8gb card :/
any idea why the media scanner is not working on my sdhc card?
is it because its a class 2?
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!
I have the P880G (apparently a Canadian AWS/Band IV variant), and I store my music files on my external SD card. Being in Canada, I can't use Google's cloud music service, but the Google Play Music app is still pretty darn good for playing local music files.
The trouble is, every time the external SD is remounted (such as when the phone reboots), my playlists and "thumbs up" list are wiped. The playlists are still shown in the list of playlists, but they're all empty with 0 songs.
Before this phone I had the Nexus S, using only internal storage, so this wasn't an issue, except that there was barely room for the music files I wanted to have with me. I'd really like to use the external SD now that it's an option.
From searching around xda, the closest I could find to this issue was a problem with having the cloud-based music sync to the external SD (it apparently goes to internal storage by default). A solution is posted here, and I tried that on my phone, but it didn't solve my particular issue.
So does anyone have any insight or experience with this?

Would love to know if anyone has any resolve for this. Having the same issue on my GS3 running CM10.1.
Thanks.
Well, sorry to say I never found a fix, but my solution was to sign up for Google Play Music's cloud service in a roundabout manner. So now my playlists are synced and never get deleted from the phone.
A workaround is better than constantly re-adding songs. Thanks!
Same problem
I'm having the same problem with my playlists being wiped. I didn't know what was causing it until I read this post.
When I was using V20A firmware until last week, I discovered that LG 4x's media scanner, at every boot, deleted all .M3U files on SD card. To solve this issue, I was obliged to disable the integrated media scanner (using an app with root grants) and eventually copying all .M3U files from a unscanned folder to main music folder on SD card.
The a/m issue was not present in all previous V1xx firmwares.
