Amount of songs in music player is limited - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
Lately I've downloaded some new songs to my Galaxy Note 5 and I noticed that some of my songs don't appear in the music player (Samsung's music player).
When I double checked, it's seems that the music player can contain up to 600 songs only.
I tried to download some other music players (DoubleTwist, Black Player), but it didn't fix it.
I asked my friend, who's own Galaxy Note 4, and he said that he's not familier with this kind of problem. In fact, he showed me that his Note 4's music player is containing up to 2500 songs.
I checked the songs' format and it's all mp3 (I can play them through "My Document" with no problem at all).
What else can be the problem? Is there any chance that my Galaxy is limited with the amount of songs he can play through music players?
Maybe is there a problem with the last software update?
Thanks a lot for you help.

Use an app to re-scan your media. I have over 1323 tracks without any problem.

Media player does not play 2 last seconds

Hello,
Is there a way to make a media player to play whole mp3 file? Right now it skips last 2 seconds. It might be not noticeable for the music but audio books sound creepy.
Thanks.

I've noticed this in the past, as I listen to gapless MP3s. I gave up on Windows Media Player and started using GSPlayer which imo is a much better player anyway.
But using "standard" player (from the FLO) is much easier.
I cannot believe there is not a simple solution for that!

[Q] How to play .mp4 audio files (iTunes)

I have converted from an iPhone to the HTC Fuze. I still have some audio files that are .mp4. I am interesting in playing audio more than video. Can I get the stock player to play these?
If not, what is the best player to download (for free) for playing audio .mp4 files?
Thanks
If they are DRMed, you'll have to search on how to un-DRM them (I wouldn't ask about that here though). If they are not DRMed, you can play them in Windows Media Player.
I know about the DRM thing, but last time I checked, Windows Media does not play mp4. Am I wrong?
With regard to audio files from iTunes (m4a/AAC/mp4 or whatever you want to call them), they will play just fine via the music player interface in Touch Flo 3d. The only problem I've encountered is that for some reason the audio manager will not sort songs in track order. As yet I have not found a fix for this (and no one else seems to be asking about it either). Still, at least I didn't have to convert my iTunes library into MP3 files ; )
Purchased tracks will not play (in fact they will not even be visible).
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a coding/decoding algorithm mainly used by iTunes to protect the artist and to ensure that the artist gets money for his work since you as a consumer ay have purchased a song or album online. All your own CD's which you may have read-in (ripped) through iTunes will play without any problems.
DRM files, though they appear as MP4 files, cannot be played without the appropriate decoder (iTunes for example).
Ways and methods HOW to bypass this mechanism MUST NOT be discussed here in the forum, do a google research if you interested in.
BTW same issues may happen if you go from iPhone to iPhone or transfer files from PC to PC even if you backed up your iTunes license.
You may bear an Apple store a visit or call Apples cust. support they can provide you with a special key that you do not have to purchase all your songs again.

Track sorting seems to be a general problem of the TF3D player. If you for example have an album which contains two CDs the TF3D player is not able to sort it correctly. It's stupidly sorting:
Track 1 CD1
Track 1 CD2
Track 2 CD1
Track 2 CD2
[...]
Therefore I'm using Pocket Player instead.

Is there a way to launch Pocket Player from TF3D in place of the in-unit player?? I have been searching for an answer for a week here and found not a clue. Any help with this would be appreciated, otherwise I will just launch from programs as I am now doing, but it seems a waste to have a nice tab wasted!

No, I don't think so. Unfortunately the only think you can do is completely disabling the TF3D player by removing it with AdvancedConfig.
I wonder if it's possible to at least get the Audio Manager to play tracks according to file name. At least that way if tracks were numbered 01, 02 etc that would get around the problem of it not seeing the track number in the tag.
Trouble is I can't work out how to do this.... I've been rumaging in the registry under HKLM\software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng but there doesn't seem anything obvious to me. Maybe a key could be added? Anyone got any ideas?
How about mp4 video?
It took 20 minutes to load a video mp4 file onto my microsd card, but it's there. Windows Media Player won't recognize it. The video player app portion of the camera will actually play the file, but it takes several seconds to launch and is generally choppy after that. It's a shame, too, because the video quality is great ... it's just very choppy.
Is there Windows Mobile player out there somewhere that plays these mp4 files SMOOTHLY? I knew the Tilt had issues with the driver not playing video smoothly, but I didn't think it was a problem with the Fuze. Sure would like to watch some quality video in mp4 mode on my Fuze rather than my video ipod.
I love this forum, alot of smart people here (usually).
To talk of disabling software or this drm would be wrong. But Itunes itself posesses a way for you to back up your music. Its totally legit, and a common problem out there. (itunes not playing on winmo or other devices).
So if its a totally legit way of using the itunes program itself, to simply create a backup of your songs... why is it so horrible to discuss?
No one is suggesting hacking or disabling the drm, simply getting the music they paid for to work.

Perception music player

I've had Perception 10.1 on my phone for quite a while now, and overall I like it (that's why its been on my phone for months and months now). But yesterday I got some voicemails that I downloaded from Gmail and they were saved as mp3 format files. The built in music player refuses to play them. It just gives me the message that the music player doesnt support that file format. I thought this was completely strange. So I put a couple of music mp3's on the sd card, and the built in music player wont play those either. Does anybody have a solution to this? What music player wouldnt play mp3's, thats crazy?? I know for a fact that the music player that was in an earlier version of Cog that I was running played music mp3's.
I'm thinking the best solution would be to get a different stock music player apk and then use adb to push it to the phone?

Xoom Currupting Music Files?

I synced about 3,00 songs to my Xoom and the Xoom refused to play 100 of them. All the songs were standard mp3s that I ripped myself. If I copied the files back to my PC, they play fine.
In an effort to fix this, I cleared the data of the Media Storage and Music app. The Xoom is now rebuilding the music, but new files are showing up in the music player with an unknown artist and these tracks give me an error trying to play. Strangely enough, the player recognizes the album art, album title and name. Just not the artist.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is their a work around? I have tried other music players, but all yield the same result.

Someone posted a similar issue several weeks ago. Try downloading PowerAmp from the market and see if they play. It seems the stock player cannot play everything.

Thanks for the tip. That did the trick. I just wish the stock player worked because it has a much more tablet friendly interface.
thx this happened to me too. my evo, xbox and pc can play all of my music but for some reason my xoom cant play about 3 albums
For those still having this issue, I have isolated my issue. While all the mp3 files that have given me problems play fine everywhere else, the Xoom is a little more particular. This happened to me years ago with one of my iPods.
I tried resyncing the files. I tried editing and updating the track tags and album art, but none of that worked. Finally, I reripped an album and that did it. Most of my mp3s were ripped 10 years ago by the old musicmatch program. That has caused problems in the past, but none for quite a while. I have successfully synced about 20 of the 100 songs that were giving problems.
If it matters, I have used Windows Media Player and iTunes to rip the problem songs.
Yeh IV found these problems are 99% due to problematic rips. These days I just use windows media player on mp3 320 then mp3tag to change any additional.al stuff or embed the album art.
Some programs don't correctly meet the standard and some staggers just make a mess.

[Q] Music player query.

Hi guys,
Wondered if you could help in suggesting a good music player besides the standard MIUI one, (I'm on an MIUI rom), that plays almost everything especially music which has been ripped of YouTube into a MP3 format via an unnamed YouTube rip app. MIUI music player thinks they are all videos but on other roms with galaxy s standard music player recognizes them as music so makes it much easier to play them all.
Ta.

Try doubletwist or poweramp, google play music should work too.
I like player pro.. mostly because of its feature of selecting the music folders.. only files in the folders you have selected will be shown in the music library
