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.......

i wish i really knew what's going on there. i have 140 mp3 songs and it shows them all :/ the only thing that sucks for me is that it's displaying the same album cover for all artist.

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

Leave mp3 playing when turning off?

I've just flashed to the Jacko ROM, and am finding that if an mp3 podcast is playing it stops if I press the power button to turn off the screen. Does anyone know how I can configure WM to keep playing the podcast when I press the power button?

I was facing a similar problem with my origninal HTC TPII which came with default T-mobile ROM version.
I upgraded to the following ROM version today and I can now play the music in my media player while turning the device to sleep mode.
ROM Name : WWE RHODIUM Cookie Energy style
ROM Version : 03.Jul.2010 WWE
ROM date: 03/15/10
RADIO Version : 3.45.25.14
May be you can try the above ROM and see if it helps you..

Thanks for the suggestion. Funnily enough I just switched from the Energy ROM to Jackos ROM, mainly because it leaves me with 20Mb extra program memory! I'm not keen to go back to the Energy ROM for this reason.

Thanks for the reply.. I am a newbie and like mentioned earlier, I tried installing the Energy ROM today itself.. I have yet to try the other ROM's and will try them step by step once I am convinced which is better..
Your explanation gives me a valid reason to try Jackos ROM very soon..
Tried to help you, seems I got some additional knowledge.. Thanks again..

Haha, again a funny thread xD
I guess your problems with playing music while suspended are related to SD card problems. Format them, copy your music back to a folder and see if it works! I had never problems with playing music and turning my device off 0.o And I'm listing a lot to music with my headphones or BT headset while traveling.

Why not install the Sk_customs Keep the music playing .cab. It does exactly what you want without changing the rom.

Thanks for the suggestion. OK I just reformatted the memory card then copied everything back to it. Same problem - music stops when I turn off the screen.
Where can I find Sk_customs Keep the music playing? I've never heard of it before.

I ran into this problem and went through all the motions and in the end it was the card itself, the brand, I think it was a transcend 8gig. Got another card,different brand(Danelec or something) and the problem went away

Do you use a 3rd party multimedia player? I found that CoreCodec would not play while the screen is turned off (with the headphone plugged in), but HTC built in audio player plays it just fine.

I use Windows Media Player, but have also tried Pocket Player 4.1.
I'm pretty sure it's not the card that's the problem as it was working fine with the previous (Energy) ROM.

Any News on where to get this?
Cab would be great.

I found the file (don't remember where, and sadly it doesn't work for my phone). Oh wait, I just saw that this is a Tilt 2 thread (I have a Tilt 1): I came upon this thread by googling, not through the menus.

Again use the shk_customs keep the music playing cab does exactly what you want. I use the CorePlayer and it works perfectly for me to keep the music on when the screen or power is off.
Why use a piledriver like a rom change when a small hammer works fine.

[Q] Epic fail with music

So I've dragged and dropped music onto my Epic. I put it in the Media folder of my SD Card. My epic will play all music, expect for songs from a single artist. It baffles me! There's nothing that separates it from the rest of my music. Same format (both m4a and mp3), it plays both formats for every other artist, Protected or not, except for this single one. Even more baffling, my Epic will randomly decide to not recognize ANY music, both mp3 AND m4a. I don't understand it :/ I won't notice it until I see that my phone is ringing but no ringtone, b/c I have Windowlicker as my ringtone. So on multiple occasions, I would go to my music player and it would literally go through every single song and display that disappointing "File not supported" message. I reboot my phone and it's fine again, with the exception of that one artist. Anyone got a fix for this or at the very least tell me why this is happening? I'm running my Epic on SRF 1.1.

Just had this happen to me today. I ran through a few things and it fixed itself...I uninstalled Voodoo Sound control...reboot...fixed permissions...reboot...and then another reboot due to some goofy lock up with my airplane mode. Started working again. Running Bonsai 4.01. The odd thing is that it was ALL music apps...Amazon MP3 and Poweramp too.

Maybe try installing the "My files" app. Flash the attached through clockwork and see if that helps.

My OP3 keeps opening the music player in the notification without reasons(OOS 3.2.7)

Hi,
I have my OP3 for 2 weeks, but there is something strange, the phone is opening the music player in the notification without reasons, sometimes when I'm scrolling across an app or while I lock the phone. At least 2/3 times per days !
But it doesn't launch the music, it just open the music player in the notification.
I'm using full STOCK phone, I disabled the next/previous music gestures, didn't changed anything !
If someone could help me for that it would be nice ! Is it a know software issue ? Maybe I would have a hardware issue ?
Thanks !

This won't be much help but sometimes PowerAmp did that too on CM13 for absolutely no reason, with BT off, so it wouldn't have connected to the car stereo. Wish I could figure out why

Could it be hardware related ?

I have been having the same problem for a long time and I have always been on OxygenOS(currently running the Open Beta 7). I always thought it was a problem with Saavn but I didn't look for an alternative or a solution since I had paid for its pro service. This now seems to be a general problem...

Edit: Never mind, somehow I missed that you already tried this, sorry.
Disable the "Music control" from Settings->Gestures and see if that helps. I had the music player opening a couple of times when leaving locked phone on the table, I guess my fingers touched the screen and phone thought I was drawing the music control gestures

Still happning on the Beta 7 ?
How is it possible ? It's not software solvable ?

Because if it's a hardware issue that I couldn't fix then I would like to know it and maybe push back the phone before the end of my 15 days return.

I had a similar issue where Google music would start by itself, even with gestures disabled. I uninstalled gm updates, cleared all cache, reinstalled gm. So far so good. However, just today another perhaps unrelated problem: music is routed through external speakers while listening over the same wired headphones. I made sure plugged in all the way, it only worked by removing and reinserting them.

I already disabled gestures, didn't changed anything. This morning when I woke up the music player was again in the notification, whereas I didn't touched the phone during all the night. And this happen even when I'm using the phone.

Well, this seems to be a GM issue. I have Spotify on the phone and it's only launch the stock music player.

True shuffle request

Hi, Ever since I got myself a smart phone I've always had the same problem and thats even with my S9. The problem is reguardless of whatever music player I use, Using shuffle has no concideration for what has been played and what has not.
Presumably all that happens is it'll not repeat a track while playing, But once paused/closed and told to replay the shuffle list has nothing to tell not to replay so it's easy enough to be hearing the same track regardless of how many thousands of tracks are available.
What I'm looking for (fingers crossed) is someone who would be able to create or modify a music player that when using shuffle it'll remove the track once played from the playlist so no matter what happens in turning off, pausing etc it'll never snuffle to what no longer exists on the list.
If something like that has already been made I would appreciate being pointed in the right way of finding it, It certainly gets dodgy having over a thousand tracks to listen to and end up hearing the same ones played again.
Thanks in advance <3
