I use Cubed music player mainly for my music, but today I found that all of my music tracks were duplicated (or triplicated, if that is a word!). I checked with the connected music player as well, and even there there were multiple listings. However, only one track will play.
I then moved all the tracks to my HDD but the listings were still there, and wouldn't play. I tried to search for playlists but could not find any. Also, if I delete any (fake) file using the connected player, the main track gets automatically deleted from the SD.
I could transfer all the files again to my HDD and delete all the files using the connected player, but then I have to do this for hundreds of songs as I can delete only one file at once. I searched and found this to be quite common problem, but there were no solutions! Can anyone please help me with this? I am going bonkers!
Getty going into settings-applications, manage applications, then select' media storage' and clear data.
Thanks but no thanks I went to manage applications settings screen but there was no 'media storage' to clear data. Is there anything else that I can try?
Should have said to make sure you look in the 'all' tab in manage applications, the default view is only ' downloaded'.
There are no tabs at all in the screen!! I am running on stock eclair.
All Hope Is Lost.

The same problem happened to me, I even got so desperate I deleted all of my music in my SD card, but the crappy Connect Music Player doesn't give you an option to at least scan your library, right?
This happened to me when I tried using WinAMP on my phone, I guess there's something wrong with using 3rd party apps. -shrug-
I tried a lot of "scan media" apps from the market, but none of them worked for me. Check those out, maybe that can work for you.
In the end, I did a factory reset and that solved my problem.

Use the app button, first on the left.

@psixda: Which app button? There is no app button! Is it possible for you to help me with some screenshots?
@Zinshin: I want to avoid that path if I can
If you don't have a way to see all your applications in 'manage applications', I think you have a problem or you have gone into a different menu.
Problem Solved!
@superfastmonkey: Thanks for all your help, but sadly it did not work as I am still looking for that tab! However, I found a solution:
I had another MicroSD card which I swapped in the current one. Voila, the dummy playlist was not there. But when I inserted the original card, it came back. So the problem is with the card, right? I simply backed up all the folders to my HDD and formatted the card. (NOTE: The copied size was different; I guess there was some problem in the card as hidden files options was checked). Anyways, after formatting, I copied everything back and lo and behold, everything works fine and I won't go insane anymore over this!
If you have Eclair, in manage aplications there are no tabs.
You have to push the menu button (bottom-left, obviously), and there must be an option like "view" or something similar. In there should be "All".
"Media Storage" could be written in your language. In my spanish phone, it is "Almacenamiento de medios".
Good luck!

Nah.. it's not there. If I hold down the menu button, I get two options:
1. Sort
- by size
- a to z
2. Filter
- All
- Running
- Downloaded
Anyways, does not matter now. As I said, problem solved
EDIT: Now it struck me.. All!!

right i had my ringtone set as something personal that i wanted - though i cant even remember how i did that as it was an option somewhere that moved the song its self anyway for some reason i cant use my own ringtones any more - every time that i try to select one it saves but then i open it again and its selected the last ringtone there is some windowsmobile one which i dont want
is it something that i have done?
how do i fix it?
could it be an application that i have used? i added the media player "Nitrogen" could that have affected it?
the apps i have installed:
TomTom Navigator
Southampton Navigator Map
Spb Mobile Shell 3, Weather, Keyboard, time, TV
Dusk comm mgr & misc
VolDeus MS3Config
Fingerkeyboard
HDTweak
changescreen
Nigrogen
could any of these affected it?
Right it seems that Nitrogen isnt the culprit as i uninstalled it and i still cant change ringtone back to what i had it as. i am also missing the option when holding down on a music file to set that as the ringtone i have no idea what i have done but im desperate need of some help
right i might be getting a bit closer - the Touch HD seems to think that all my audio files that i have on my memory card are windows files could this have something to do with it? and i keep coming back to Nitrogen i remember during the installation that it gave me a box to tick for MP3 now, which i ticked could that have something to do with this?
Not sure what you've done to lose the option in file explorer but a workaround is to copy the song/sound you want to the 'My Ringtones' folder which is located in the 'My Documents' folder.
You should then be able to go to the sounds settings and choose your song as a ringtone.
Good luck...

nope i have tried that as well. it wont let me use it from there either - i have them there i can select them it just wont use that song when the phone rings. i just copied a song over from my computer and even that didnt work - still goes back to one from the computer - im running out of ideas maybe im going to be forced to do a hard reset as a soft reset didnt do anything
right its fixed - it took a hard reset though
it happened to me as well
open nitrogen mp3 player
click options--- then settings---- then file associations
and clear the box for use nitrogen to open mp3 files
that causes the problem, i hope it works for you too.
I used Windows media player to sync music to the default storage card location which is "my device\storage card\music". When I go to the HTC music Icon it starts searching for music and never finds any. The songs are mp3.
When I first got the TP2, I transfered a few files to the phone prior to getting a microSD card. When I went to the HTC music icon at that time it didn't have any problem finding the music.
What is the solution?
Thanks.
Anybody - need help on this.
Try delete everything (files and folders) under this folder
My Device\Application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
(if you have trouble removing the content, reboot your device first)

Thanks for the reply. I tried the following and it worked:
I used Advanced Configuration Manager to change the default location to "\Storage Card\Music".
I deleted the music in the Music folder on my main storage and when I touched the touchflo Audio tab it said searching. I opened up library and when I clicked all songs they started to appear. After I did that, all was good.
yeah i don't like the sync option with windows media player.
i have a question though: how do you keep the music playing when the screen is off? i like to keep my phone in the case & i want to play music thru the speaker but i don't want the screen on.
wtf? double post? how?
my question is: How do you get it to change the artwork? I have the same picture appearing for every song, even though it is a different artist. Why does that happen?

Glad to know that works too
I recently changed my music folder's location (also to Storage card\Music) and Audio Manager refused to refresh. Deleting the content of AudioManager_Eng resolved the issue very well for me without resorting to Advanced Configuration (which I haven't installed)

Do you have to do this step every time you add new music to the phone so TF3D knows to re-index the music folder?
Hi everyone. For some reason, on my wife's Evo (running Evio 2 w/ Netarchy's latest kernel), music apps are not able to "see" any of my wife's music files. We had similar issues with her photos, but for some reason the gallery just started working again.
Basically, when I go in through Root Explorer I can see that the files are there, and even can play them in the music player, but when I open the Music player I just get a "no music found" error message. Tried using Winamp and it just scans my SD card and finds nothing.
I re-formatted her SD card last night, re-synced all of her music, and still no dice. She is growing weary of bugs like this and is beginning to beat the drum for iPhone ("my old iPhone never had these problems!"), so I desperately need to solve this problem quickly.
Can anyone help or shed some light on what might be happening? Thanks in advance!
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia file in there... that'll stop the music from being scanned. Also make sure it's in the "music" folder, although some apps scan everything, some scan what you tell it to scan, and others only scan the "music" folder & its subfolders.
My Evo + xda Premium App = This post.
Try to unmount then mount your sd card.

+1 on this. Look in all your folders where your media is, and be sure there isn't a .nomedia file in there. If there is, delete it and reboot the phone. Problem will be gone.
I'm not even sure how the .nomedia file's become present in certain folders, but it can happen. (certain apps auto create them and place them there for reasons unbeknownst to me)

Also, with the .37 kernels, the usb transfer/read speeds were slow, so it could just "show up" after a period of time, but yes, either check for the .nomedia folder, or a quick reboot will make it show up.
Thanks everyone. I will check her phone tonight when I get home for the .nomedia file...sounds promising.
hi there,
There's something that's bugging me lately.
With any music player (stock, meridian, ecc) when i go to "all songs" (or i think it's called "tracks" on stock player) it only shows a half dozen files, as opposed to the 400 there should have been.
Funny thing is that when i explore with those music players inside the folders, the files are all there and magically from that point on, they appear in the "all songs" section and they play fine, but looking better, when i explore the sd card, it says "refresh to scan media" under each previously invisible file.
Every time i reboot the phone those files became invisible again and it's kinda annoying... anybody has some ideas?
Is there any difference in the music files? What format are they in? Maybe the scanner doesn't scan certain formats automatically. Just a guess though.
thank you for the answer, however, the issue disappeared. Don't know if that's what healed my phone, however i went exploring with ESfile explorer and found a rather useles file called "nomedia" with no extension and no format which appeared in the music folder. After that everything went back to normal.
I forgot to say that i recently bought a 16gg class 4 sd card and almost thought to call for a replacement... but things are working now!

.nomedia files are there to tell the default android media scanner to ignore that folder. It's used so sound and picture files from apps and games don't show up in media players. That was were your problem was
Hello Forum!! My wife has the T989 and she is running Jedi Knight 6 presently. The phone has the amazon mp3 player app, and we noticed that it makes duplicate copies of the music files. Can someone please explain to me why this happens, and also give me a solution to correct they problem. Thanks guys
The Media Storage gets confused when you flash a new ROM. Go to your apps through settings, and look for "Media Storage" under "ALL". Force stop it, and then clear data. It will take a bit to rebuild the music library once you open your music player, but once it does you won't have any duplicates anymore.
I was having the same issues with my pictures stored on the memory card. doubles, triples, even quadruplicate files showing as duplicated, but the "duplicates" were broken files that couldn't be viewed, and did not exist when the folder was browsed from the PC with USB storage turned on. Bobbyphoenix's recommendation fixed all that! Thx a mil. Been having this problem since I got the phone..
