Anyone know where the HTC music player stores it's playlists? Mine need nuking...
I'm having a problem with the HTC music player - I can't delete a particular playlist.
The app says that it has deleted it when I try, but it remains. Also when I click on the playlist or try and add a song to it the app force closes.
I've tried clearing the data in settings->applications->manage applications for "music" and "media storage" and rebooting, but the playlist remains.
I think I may have created the playlist and deleted the song it pointed to. Is there any other way to remove it now apart from a factory reset?
Resolved:
It wasn't a real playlist. I found a folder structure like:
\sdcard\Podcasts\anotherfolder\anmp3file.mp3
\sdcard\Podcasts\asecondfolder\anothermp3file.mp3
The HTC player thinks this is a playlist and obviously can't delete it, as it's a folder. Would be nice it it told you this instead of crashing.

Hey I just bought this phone yesterday (had the galaxy before)
and today i opened up the music player and loaded the songs from my sd card, but for some reason everything is (about 90%) of my songs are under the album "audio" with unknown as the artist/album. but then the rest of the 10% song are under albums...how can i fix this? its quite annoying now to find songs by certain artist since everything is UNKNOWN.
i also tried using another music player (pro player or something like that) and same thing
either your files lost the mp3 tags for some unknown reason, or something else is wrong there.
either case try out this great app

so is there any way to diagnose the problem to see what it REALLY is?
also is there an easy way to put the tags back onto the files?
OKAY SO I FIGURED THIS ONE OUT LOL
go to settings, applications, all, find 'media storage' click on it. clear data.
then go to settings and sd storage, unmount sd card. then once available, hit mount sd card. let it scan fully
then go to music player and all songs should be grouped into albums, etc etc etc..
someone can close this thread now and keep it for reference for newbies like myself who run into this issue
Some of the songs I have can not be recognized by any music player but Solid Explorer shows them as there. When I put them on the phone they were recognized then after a reboot they aren't anymore.
This is driving me nuts. I just want to listen to me music. Any insight in to the issue would be greatly appreciated.
I have already tried rescan apps, clearing cache and data on the music apps and even formatted the card....nothing. it's only two albums I put on that do this, the rest are good to go but I love these two albums...must have morning music for me.

are there any .nomedia files in those folders or in any of the parent folders where those two albums located? have you tried deleting files and recopying them?

Are they all mp3's?
Do you put those albums in a different place/folder than the rest of your music?
Did you try another music player?
No nomedia, tried using other music players, delete and copy works for like 5 minutes.....note the songs from those albums that do show up only play for about one minute.
Arrrgggh.

Disregard.....lol....they were labeled as .mp3 in the title name but when I went to properties they were .mpegs. That makes sense right?

it only makes sense if you have known file extensions hidden and someone renamed the file to have .mp3 at the end. but anyway, glad you fixed your problem

Is there anyone using the cloud service of play music that may help me in understanding a problem I am having?
I uploaded all my songs to the cloud.
I set the player on the GNex not to cache anything which is played via streaming, as i won't be streaming.
I will be creating playlists online and thendownload the playlists on the phone at need.
Only problem I have is with the LAST ADDED playlist under the AUTOMATIC PLAYLISTS.
What is this? And why by default the keep on device pin is selected and cannot be deselected? Does it mean it still stores on the device all the songs under this playlist? I do not want these songs on the device.
Thanks

Bump. I actually do want those song on my device, but am confused by it's behavior. Some songs recently added to my library show up saved on my device under this playlist, while others do not.
I use the Google Play Music app to play music that's on my phone (as opposed to music that's in the cloud). If I put a standard extended m3u playlist on the phone, the app shows some of the songs in the wrong order.
Extensive detail of the problem is at http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/50425/wrong-playlist-order-in-google-play-music-app/50496
One person who posted there has the same problem.
Do others have the same issue? Any idea how to fix it or at least better diagnose why it's happening?
Yes, same problem here. Most songs keep in order but some don't.
It seems to be related to either the length of playlists, mistakes in the playlists, or the use of subfolders. It doesn't seem that fixing the play list fixes the sort order.
My playlists for albums all import fine. I think the largest album I have successfully copied over is about 24 files. The common thread for all these good playlists is that the playlist is in the same directory as the songs in the list.
But I do get playlists that are screwed up.
The latest was 65 songs long and had some mistakes in it (misspelled filenames). It also had songs from the folder I put the playlist in as well as songs from some subfolders. When I had fixed the mistakes, it still is misordered. I tried deleting the playlist from the phone, then deleting it from Play (it still listed the playlist as if it existed), then recopied it to the phone. I even tried deleting them and renaming the playlist to a new name and copying it back over. No joy. Funny thing is, it always imports in the same (incorrect) order.
There must be a memory leak in their m3u playlist file reader, I imagine related to reading subfolders.
In my case, playlists which play fine in other music players have problems in the Google app, so I doubt the problem is with the playlist. I've only tested long playlists, so that could be the cause.
I'm somewhat surprised Google hasn't fixed this. I've since moved to Shuttle music player, which does everything I want and doesn't have any issues with my playlists.
I've been having an issue with my Walkman app for as long as I can remember. Basically, it will automatically create playlists, that are dated (see picture below), and that I cannot delete. These playlists do get deleted when I clear the media storage (found in settings-apps-all-media storage)... But, come a few hours time, all the playlists are back! Anybody else getting this issue, or have a way of solving it?
EDIT : Problem solved, turns out there was a folder on the SD card, with a bunch of playlists, that I was unaware of
