Audiomanager_eng.exe keeps crashing

Hello,
I bought new HTC TOUCH PRO 2 with Sprint. I have 16 GB SC card installed, and I copied around 8GB of music too it.
The experience has been miserable - half the time after 5 to 8 seconds of playing a song, it crashes, and I get the error audiomanager_eng.exe has crashed, etc.
I search this forum and found a thread suggesting to install two cab files to fix the issue - however it wasn't until after I installed them, I saw they were for windows mobile 6.5. So, I tried uninstalling them with the remove programs.
Now, when I try to goto the sprint music player, nothing comes up but a black screen, and then it relaunches touch flo 3d. How can I fix this? Or is there a better music player then the built in touch flo spring music?
I'm pretty disappointed in this device. It can't play simple mp3 files? wtf?
The whole reason I got this phone was for exchange support, and not spending 200 bucks on an IPOD.

im having the same problem and i posted a thread asking about it...wouldnt u know, i didnt get a useful response either...if i find and answer ill definitely let you know

Any ideas for alternative music players? Anyone have original cabs for sprint music player so I can re-install?

I have had this problem before. I reflashed my phone and reset a few times only to find it was a problem with the files on my memory stick. I formatted my card and put music back on and it works great now. Hope this helps

[Q] YouTube Uploads not working

All, I have dug and dug and seem to be the only one having this issue. I am running the 8/1 release with the Audio patch.
Issue: I cannot get anything to upload to YouTube. It attempts but never gets past 0% and then retries a few times before failing with a Network Error. I've got full Signal and can download, upload anything to anywhere else. I also connected to WiFi and am able to do same, upload, download to anything else... Can't load a video to YouTube.
I can watch YouTube videos from the YouTube App, it accesses my account and I cen see previous video.
Before this update I could upload to YouTube, that is the original Leaked FroYo.
My son took his first steps tonight and the HD quality camera videos will not send as messages so this is the best way I know how to share it with my family around the country. HELP!
Temporary Workaround: I mounted the phone as disk drive and pulled the video file, manually loading it from there. Old School method but it works. - I still need to know if anyone else is having the same issue and if not, WTF?

DRM license required

Okay since the last update I have had three occassions where I get DRM License Required in the notification area of my phone. I've done searches on the web and I see it is happening to Evo's but I haven't seen anyone report it here.
Any suggestions?

Never got a DRM message.
I archived my Itunes library. I edited the archive. IIRC i had to edit the titles to remove the invisible designator "." - I did this a long time ago and can't remember what block command i gave terminal to do it. I then transfered the archived library to the phone's sdcard.
Hope it helps.

Anyone else?

I also received this message. From what ive read online at other forums, the consensus is that it was caused by the new Blockbuster app. Most people think its a bug in the Blockbuster app.
I should also add, that i received this message after I got the 3.7 OTA update, but only after I added my own MP3s to SDCard. So perhaps the blockbuster app is looking for media on SDCard and found my mp3 files without DRM? My 2cents.

I get this crap all the time I just clear it out. It only happens to me on sense roms though .

Wow ive followed for a while and This will be my first post.lol
I get it on my EVO on rooted sense rom with launcher pro, i havent figured out what triggers it but sometimes there two side by side.
im back up the apk's & removed some sys app, maybe if i removed the blockbuster itll go away.

Hope this helps narrow it down.
Happens when I try to watch Fox news on the fox news app.
However only wireless, if I turn off wifi and use the 3G it plays without the error.
Somehow tied into the wireless ? I can make it happen over and over.

Sprint Nascar app
I got the DRM license required for the first time since I've had my Evo 4g. I used Sprints NASCAR app today and got 2 notifications about DRM.

I can't use the nascar app here. Well to be mroe specific I have issues with it. It works fine without hitch for a while then I will lose the driver audio after say 5-10min of consistant listening. Sometimes I get the DRM error with it and sometimes I just get an audio playback message in the app itself when it kills the audio.
tried emailing back and forth with the developers of the app but they say it plays fine on their evo in house no problems.
oh well.

I get this anytime I close Pandora while using bluetooth for the audio. Makes no sense at all.

Removing DRM?
Has anyone tried to watch blockbuster downloads? I can watch it on my phone (EVO 3D), but only in the Blockbuster App, so I'm assuming there's some kind of protection on the file.
I copied the file to my PC and no joy.
If anyone has a good and free way to remove protection I'd love to hear it. I googled DRM removal but all I got was 100% scammy, free-trial type websites.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I took a video with my htc evo and it won't let me view it. When I try to play it a popup says "Sorry, this video cannot be played. Then I get a notification that says "DRM Notification - License required. Does anyone knows what's wrong with this thing? thanks

[Q] Google Music - Got my invite! Any tips/tricks?

After about a month, I finally got it. Uploading my library now, probably going to max out my storage .
Anyone have any hints, tips or tricks on things that can be done with Google Music?

my learning
If you use an AT&T Microcell the Ping delay will go through the roof while uploading and will impact your ability to make calls.
On my 3G iPhone it appears that a song is playing fine but you can't hear. You need hit the pause button on the player and then play button so you can hear a song. Frankly Google Music doesn't work very well on my iPhone.
If you found any tip sites I'd like to know them.

I got an invite 8 days ago & just barely started uploading my music yesterday night. I've got the app for my Epic running SRF 1.1.1 & it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it might have something to do with the phone's modem? I'm not sure, but I'm only seeing the music on my SD. I checked my settings in the app & it is connected to my account, but it won't display the uploaded music at all. Damn it!

I had the same issue with the app. I had it installed before I received my invite. Simply uninstalled and reinstalled google music on my phone. Issue resolved...for me at least.

Actually because your phone is rooted.
I heard you can clear the apps data and it works , might not but give it a try

works okay for me on stock rooted ec05.. It fine with a few songs, but once I got to around 10,000 songs both the web interface and the android app became a lot slower and less responsive.
Also, the uploader will rape your home bandwidth if you let it.. My 20/2 ends up slower than dialup with that thing running. There are throttle controls, but they didn't seem to help, the problem only went away for me when I turned it off completely. Also it prevents the screensaver from activating.. wtf? The phone player could use more features, as could the web player. Web interface failed the girlfriend test. After using it for a few minutes she declared it "unfriendly" and went back to using grooveshark.
On the one hand, it's cool having my entire mp3 library available when I'm away from home, but on the other hand grooveshark is still better for me to find new music.

On my rooted Droid X (Apex 2.0 Beta), i've had zero issues.
A few tips: Rather than trying to upload your collection during the day, do it while you sleep. It doesn't modify the bitrate, so if you're uploading a 320kbs file that is 6MB in size ... well, you get the idea.
Be prepared for some organization on the site itself. Unless you're quite particular about your ID3 tags, you will have to rename some songs, locate/update/upload new or clearer quality album art (Google Images works fine for this), and combine groups of songs from the same album into one album listing(generally is the result of some of the songs having no 'Album Artist' and some having it... tip, just highlight all, put the Artist in both groups, Ctrl+F5, win.)
Last thoughts... the widget is really bad right now, but the UI isn't awful. While you can presently filter in 2 ways 1) All music or 2) Only music on your phone,... there isn't a way to only filter online stuff. But, when you have no data connection (3G or WiFi), it will gray the online music out.
But really, take this all with the Beta grain of salt. GMail was in beta at one point, and took awhile to become the slick e-mail machine it is now. I have no doubt Google Music will only get better.

do you know, if i update an id-tag on my computer is the same mp3 going to be updated also on Google Music?

If the file size or name of the music file doesn't change then I don't think a Tag will trigger the re-upload. It may be worth a try though.

Anyone know of a good "free" MP3 tagger, that will go through and ID and correct the tags of my MP3s before I upload them?
I think pretty much all of my MP3s have had their tags removed

Several free ones, with reviews for each one.

I've had Google music for a while now (just started using it recently) and I have to say, for it being beta, it's pretty good. Although, I do have some beef with a few things.
Widget sucks: There's the song name, forward, and pause/play button. That's it. I don't like it and I find myself just playing music through the app itself.
Data is wonky: I've noticed that sometimes that GM will load random songs incorrectly and sound like crap. The only way I've found to fix this is going to settings/apps/music and clearing the data and cache. It has to reload the songs but if you start listening to music on wifi or a good 3g connection, songs will load correctly.
Web Interface, YUCK!: Nit picking here but I hate the look of the web interface. Works great though.
App needs equalizer and lockscreen playlist: I'm drawing this complaint after using Power Amp. If GM could model their app after Power Amp, it'd be perfect
Even though it's all complaining, I still recommend this app to music users (on sprint only). After songs are cached on your phone, it hardly draws any data, but I still wouldn't use it on AT&T and Verizon...but that's just because of their stupid cap. It has loads of potential, and I can't wait to see it

Problems playing media on sd card >:|

So I love everything about this phone so far except for all the problems I'm having trying to play music off my sd card. I keep getting errors from every media player that so & so file cannot be played. I've tried reformatting my card & that seemed to help at first but now it's happening again. I've deleted every .nomedia file I can find. Songs that I literally JUST played will for some reason not play the second time I try to play them. I can finish a song & immediately try to play it again & get an error. They're just regular mp3s, too. It's maddening. I doubt it's my card, it worked perfectly in my HD2 and in my Sensation. I'm kind of new to Samsung phones so is there some special way I need to format it? I formatted it in the phone, it should work. Is anyone else having this problem?

I tried out player pro and all the songs from my 32gb I used in my sensation play fine. Did you try that app?

I have not, I'll try it.
I still wanna know why this is happening though.
Edit: Damn dude, good call on PlayerPro. Works awesomely & has folder browsing just like I like :>
