Problem with artworks in HTC Music Player - Desire General

Hi,
I hope I'm posting this in the right section.
I have a problem with HTC Music player not showing some artworks (which are directly saved in mp3). I already tried 3 (Cubed) player as well and it has the same issue.
I also tried updating the artwork several times just to make sure Desire would recognize the change but no luck. The phone does not refresh the id3tag at all. Winamp and WMP on my desktop show the artwork correctly.
Does anyone else experience something similar?

Well, it seems that deleting the folder albumthumbs from SDcard solved this issue.
Although it does not explain why the phone is unable to refresh the id3 tags even when the affected songs are deleted and copied back again.
Oh well

Have you tried to use the app called SDrescan?

Music panel in all ROMs

Sorry for the new thread, I've tried posting this question in another thread with no answer. I also (first thing I did) tried searching for my problem all over these forums and the web, with no real findings.
I'm having a huge problem with TF3D's music panel. Everytime I click to play a track, it plays about 3-5 seconds of the track, then just stops. All softkeys still work, and if I try pausing/playing, it repeats. All tracks I've tried. It also doesn't list all the music (all music stored on microSD under same folder). All the songs play fine under WMP on the phone (as well as all other devices obviously). Any help???

Are your files on the microSD card (I'm assuming so, just want to verify). What type of files are they (.wma .mp3 .aac etc) maybe we can narrow this down. I'm recently liberated from iTunes, so a lot of my files are in aac (drm-free) format, so maybe I have to convert straight to mp3????
Sounds very strange, I think the reason not many people have replied is that they dont experience this issue.
I have played music on my unbranded TP2 with the stock rom and then many custom roms all without any problem.
Sorry I know that doesnt help you...
I am playing mp3's from the memory card.
Have you tried to copy the file to the internal memory and play it from there? Perhaps you memorycard is too slow?

yeah they are on my micro sd. they are mp3 i would post a ringtone but i only have spanish music lol
The issue I'm having is that not all my mp3's (which are all in the same directory on the SD card) are showing up, only about 15 of the 50 mp3's I have show.
Everything shows fine in the Windows Media Player though. Just not the TF3D interface
I'm starting to think it may be the fact that my music is AAC format....ugh...that's just way too much converting.......

Funny, I get the different album covers for different artists!
Anyhow, I'm going to delete all the SD card files, and edit the various ID tags and see if thats the issue. I think it may be that they are being read incorrectly.
I had this issue when using the Leo build from NRG, only played a few seconds of song for me and sometimes it would just freeze and not play anything. Im using Photon now and all music plays fine

Duplicate Songs- Any ideas?

Hi:
I have all my music stored on SD card. I sync it with Windows Media Player. All songs appear normally in Windows Media Player and when I use Files Explorer on Tilt 2 to view the songs on SD card.
My problem is, when I use the music player in TF3D, and look at library/songs, many songs appear twice. The really odd part is that a song may appear once with album art (which all my songs have), and a second instance with no album art.
When I play songs on the music tab in TF3D both instances of the song play. What I mean is, sometimes a song will show with album art, and sometimes the one without album art shows. The same is true if I edit a song title etc through Windows Media Player (I believe it is version 11). A song will show as the pre-edited version sometimes, other times it shows the edited version.
Any ideas? This is really driving me nuts.
Thanks!
I have a similar problem - but possibly the opposite to yours.
I have approx. 15Gb of music on the MicroSD on my TP2, and regularly use Windows Media Player to sync new music to the phone. However, Windows Media Player appears to sync ALL the music BACK to the PC as well - meaning I have each song duplicated on the PC (sometimes many times), which is rapidly filling up my hard drive unless I periodically manually delete all duplicates (which is painful).
I'm sure there must be a setting within Windows Media Player to stop this happening - but I still want to be able to sync music TO the phone (just not back).
Has anyone else encountered this issue or know a solution?

Music Player isn't working properly

Hey there.
I'm running Manila 2.5 (don't know if there's anything else you have to know..just ask ) on my HTC HD and I would like to use the build in music player. Windows Media player is working fine, but the standard one seems to have troubles finding the songs. It shows the songs with a length of 0:00. Meaning, it will skip all songs until it reaches the last one and then stop. After a soft reset everything is working fine until I reconnect it to the PC. Even if I don't change anything in the Musik folder.
I organized my songs like this: Storage Card/Music/Artist/Album/Song.mp3
At least most of them.
Anyone with the same problem or a way to solve this?
Thanks guys!

[Q] Samsung Media Scanner and ID3 Genres

I have been having an issue with my phone and my music. All my music is organized by Genre, Artist, Album. After I sync my music with my phone, the Samsung media scanner starts up and scans my 2 SD cards. I then go and start the stock music player and all of the genres of my music have been changed. I have triple verified that the genres are correct using MP3Tag, Windows Media Player, and Winamp. I have even mounted the SD card to the computer and verified that the genres are correct. It seems that the Samsung Media Scanner is changing the genres. I have tried multiple music apps and none of them except for poweramp recognize the genres of my songs correctly. Poweramp has its own built in media scanner, that is the program itself scans the SD cards and builds its own library. I am not too fond of poweramp and would prefer to use the stock music player. The funny thing is when I stick my SD card into an EVO all of the music genres show up correctly in the stock EVO music player. So the issue must be with Samsung's media scanner reading the songs ID3 tags. Does anyone else have the same issue, and is there a way to fix it? Also, how does everyone sync their playlists on their phones? I currently use windows media player to sync my music. I also tried syncing my music with winamp but that did not work either, even with the winamp app on the phone. I am currently using PhantomHackers Blazer rom, and I had the same issues with the stock rom.

Changed it up a bit, I hope that is clearer. No wonder I was not getting any responses.

I have also noticed and been very annoyed by this. I usually end up using the Google Play Music when I want to listen to my music by genres.... I would love to know if there is a fix for this.

music player issue's

Hello!
Since a couple days, i bought a HOX. Since I switched from iOS, and this is my first android device, i'm sorry of what might sound like 'stupid' questions.
I transferred some music to my phone from iTunes (mac). All my music have cover art (burned in). The first day's, the standard music app shows all my cover art just fine. But when I connect my phone back to my pc, and disconnect it again, half of the album art is disappeared.
Also, there is one particular song, sometimes (not always) when I listen to it, the music starts to fast forward and it's like the app has gone mad. The weird thing is, it's not a faulty mp3, my other devices play it without any problems.. i also tried to re copy the album.. It doesn't help..
I allready googled the problems.. But i didn't find a solution..
(Sorry for my very bad English!)
Thanks in advance
I've got the issue with album art as well particular for singles rather than albums.
I don't bother using the stock player so just use Power Amp instead, top notch player.
Thanks for the advice mate
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I think I found a solution for the album cover art problem... I use iTuneMyWalkman to sync my music to my HOX. I looked at the albums that wouldn't show their album art, and most of them are the ones who are found in 2 or 3 sub maps 'deeper' than the artist map.. Maybe that's causing the issue! iTMW arranges all your music in his own way (he will put all the music from the same album, in the same folder (unlike iTunes, what can cause a lot of trouble in the stock music player). You can select that he only can use/create 1 subfolder..
So, i did this, and it seems to work (for now.. I will check if the album art doesn't disappear like last time after a few reboots!)
Anyone that knows what can cause the sudden music fast forwarding? I use external headphones (Sennheiser HD25). I read about this issue, but it was from a HTC HD. There was some contact from the plug and the case itself.. But the One X has a 'plastic' cover.. So that shouldnt be a problem I guess? =s
Thanks in advance!
