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

Playback problems (music, inc. ringtone and video)

Hi.
My Desire is now a couple of weeks old, and so far I'm loving it. But I've bumped into a weird and really annoying problem. Occasionally it stops play any kind of music (ringtones, mp3s, etc). Videos stop working too. Unmounting/Remounting and/or powering off/on the phone SOMETIMES works, but not always, and before long, it returns to the state where no music can be played. It worked perfectly the first week or so, but then this happened.
I use a 8Gb Transcend MicroSD card in it. But it can't really be the card (at least 100%.) As it is ONLY the music (and video files), mp3 still show up on the player, all tags and album art show up properly. Camera works. and so does downloading and using different files (PDFs, roms for emulators etc.) everything else works, but when it's time to output something that makes a sound, it doesn't work. Not with built-in music player, not with 3rd party apps or widgets. (tried several Video Player, Ringdroid and MixZing come to mind).
Strangely, "Musical Lite" plays the piano sounds ok, but I'm assuming it has it's own playback engine/decoder.
I'm assuming anything that uses the internal APIs for sound does not work.
I can connect the phone to a computer, mount the SD card and play the videos/music just fine (and access all other card content).
I have an EU version of Desire:
Model A8181
firmware 2.1-update1
Kernel 2.6.29-97da29ed
Build 1.15.405.4 CL155070 release-keys
I'd appreciate any pointers or suggestions of what to try/test/tell.
EDIT: Just to clarify. It's only music. Sound effects (from keys for example) work all the time, calls work as supposed. It's only music (incl. ringtone) that doesn't work at all.

Anyone? I've tried removing and re-inserting the sd card, but it doesn't help. Also as built-in ringtones do not work either, it is probably not the card at fault.

have you checked the ringer volume and the media volume in settings. otherwise get it replaced or repaired under warranty

Every separate volume is set to full. I forgot to say that everytime I try to access a music file (player, ringdroid. But not in settings when selecting ringtone, or when the phone should actually ring) I get an error "unable to play this type of music file". Videos don't give that error, they just don't work. No errors.

"Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio fffuuuuuuuu!"

Oh, I've searched for a solution far and wide but none work have worked so far.
I like to rip audio from YouTube videos using Tubemate. This is especially awesome considering that Rebecca Black's Friday is the perfect ringtone to interrupt meetings with. Anyway, Tubemate warns that not all MP3s will work. It has been hit or miss so far. Just updated to unrooted GB, but the issue has popped up even before that.
The issue at hand is that for the past day, every attempt to rip a MP3 has ended with that message popping up.
"Sorry," really? Google, are you really sorry?
I've tried everything. I've retagged using multiple apps, opened with Winamp and Music, restarted after pulling the battery, and unmounted/mounted my SD. I've even cleared the caches and data. I still get that damn error and that taunting "Yea, our bad," message.
Is there anything I'm missing? Thanks for your help ahead of time!
XDA App - EVO - 2.3 unrooted. Help!

There's a reason it's not supported, the audio file you made probably isnt the right codec. I'm not positive about that ripping app, but the one I use only rips the audio that was in the original file. So if the audio from the original file was a 2 channel ac3 file, thats what you get. You would only get an mp3 file if the original video used mp3 for its audio.

[Q] Bluetooth streaming

Hi guys, I did a search and I can't find anything on this, if it's already been answered I do apologize. I've got a kenwood stereo in my car that connects to the phone and streams music over bluetooth. I've used this on my last 2 phones (Samsung Epic, and HTC EVO) with no problems. Now with the Galaxy SII, i can't stream music. It will connect and do voice calls no problem, but when i try to play music, it just skips through every song on the list and then freezes. The only time it worked was the first time I connected it to my stereo. Has anyone else had this problem? Since I use Google Music, all of my music is streamed and I have to do it through bluetooth, this has become quite a pain!

i'm on a clarion CZ 509 no problem streaming from my phone to the car
it does it automatically as soon as the car is in the phone range
which some times is kinda annoying, when you don't want it to auto stream

Yeah, mine will connect automatically and phone calls and dialing work with no issues. It's just streaming music. I'm going to try and delete my phone from the deck and re-connect it, hopefully that works. I'm trying to avoid having to replace my phone or do a hard reset.

my deck can save up to 5 phones pairing
so i just assigned a new profile to the SGS2 when i got it
the other ones registered are my old I9000, XT720 and Nexus S
there is another trick you can use
in the phone in the BT profile after pairing, hold the profile for 2 sec, it will pop up a sub menu, in which you can choose both option or only 1 of them
in which case it's BT audio, or BT phone
so play around with that and see
another thing which i don't know if your deck allows you to do is to Pair the phone as a Media device, or Phone device
so in my deck can can pair the phone to be only as a phone device, or only as a media device, or both

I tried messing around with those options, however it either disconnects the phone completely (unchecking the phone box) or just plays the music through the phone (unchecking the media box). I tried streaming another song through the stock music app, and that worked, so I think it may be google music itself. I had downloaded the ICS version, so now i'm trying to downgrade back to current. I'll have to check to see if works later, as now it won't connect to my account to grab all of my music. Thanks for the replies though, I'll keep this updated incase anyone else has the same issues.

now that you mention it, that might be it
the DRM license thing kicking in
i just found that was causing some random crash on my phone as well, removed music 4.0 and installed another music player, now everything is back to normal
i use jukefox to play music, it automatically creates everything that is necessary, like albums, auto get the missing album covers, etc, etc...
1 button does it all
then you just pick or randomly choose what you want to hear, easy music browsing for when you are driving

Yeah it's definitely a google music issue on my phone. The stock player works fine, but that doesn't help me, I keep all of my music uploaded to the google cloud, and have no way to access it right now. Even with the regular current apk I am having issues. I'll have to wait and see if they can update it for this drm issue I think. For now I'll just use the current stock player and fill up my sd card and play off of that

that's what i do
i play it off my SD card
get a 32 GB or 64 GB and you'll have plenty of space to load all your favourite albums
i keep several copies of 32 GB for different albums / movies

So just a followup to this, I did a hard reset today on my phone and it still doesn't help. Turns out, it only does this when connected through bluetooth, and it's a song that's been "made available offline". If i'm actually streaming a song, there are no issues, but any of my playlists or albums that are saved won't play through bluetooth (they will play normally however). Hopefully this can be fixed in an update through Google Music.

So, i've had this issue as well and it appears to be something to do with "shuffle".
At first I disconnected bluetooth and then started playing the music on my phone and made sure to turn ON shuffle..I then turned bluetooth back on in my radio and once it connected...all was well. I didn't like this solution and decided I needed to find an alternative.
I then downloaded the MIUI music app (which has always been my favorite) and the music streaming is working normally now

Was this an issue that you experienced with the google music beta app, or just the standard music player that came with the phone? Mine has only had issues on the music beta app, and it didn't matter if i had shuffle on or not. I've been using the standard music app that came installed on the phone and have had no issues since. On another note, does anyone know if you can see album art through bluetooth? I'm able to get song , artist, and album info, but I've never seen album art come through yet. I'm not sure if this is something bluetooth can handle or not.

Stock app. I just installed music beta and it seems to work fine like miui music
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

I take that back, music "beta" just did it to me too. Back to miui

Music and the best way to handle it.

Greetings. Im hoping someone might be able to help me with a very annoying problem im having.
I have somewhere around 2000 music tracks, all of which are uploaded to Google Music. Ive had GMusic since they first announced the beta and i love the fact that my entire library is everywhere I go. I also love that i can download the tracks directly on my phone, from my phone.
However using the app to play music is horrible. In the past i used poweramp, which is a wonderful player. My main problem with Google Music is it audibly cuts the power from the headphone jack in between tracks, so when i have it hooked up to my car stereo i hear a pop when the track changes... which annoys me to utter hell. On top of that it behaves weirdly some times, for example i had it set to shuffle all the other day, and it would stop on every song, and i would have to hit play manually to go to the next song.
What i would like to do is go back to using PowerAmp, but be able to manage my music as easily as i do with GMusic. Problem is that, PowerAmp doesnt see the music i download from the GMusic app and the one time it did, all the meta-data wasnt there. So all poweramp said was "Unknown track 1".
The other side of the problem is managing it on my computer. Since i bought music from Itunes and Google Music, keeping everything organized has become a nightmare(i have a number of compilations, and when you download the music from google music, it organizes it by artist not by the album). Which is why i dont want to have to manually move files to my phone. Ive tried WinAmp and Double Twist, and both have their annoyances. I was wondering what other people do, maybe someone can make my life easier.

subsonic, streams from your PC, no need to upload it to the cloud and it the UI is not bad either. it can also cache your streams for offline play
