Audio Manager Question

I have my music on my storage card in (dun dun dunnnn) My Documents\My Music. Each artist has a folder and in those folders are the albums. In the albums I have cover art. Not all of it is showing when the songs are played....what's up with that?
Oh and I do so love lumping to inquiries into one thread so here goes! I cannot beam using this ROM. My fiancee has a Dash at the T-Mobile (USA) standard ROM. I wanted to beam calendar appointments between the phone but the two cannot see each other unless Bluetooth is on and even then "beaming" fails. I noticed that her phone has "Beam" in the Connections Manager whereas my phone does not...

1. Could be due the album art not being in the song, not sure ghow it reads but think they need to be id3 taged with album art "Someone will have better answer than me as it doesn't bother me but know that the ones of mine that show have been id3 taged with album art"
2. Does she have the allow incoming beams activated, different than having the device visible..

1. Album art should be in the format COVER.JPG then nearly all media players will display it (wm media player sometimes does not show art due to it being complete crap)
2. Beam is simply bluetooth. Both units have to have bluetooth on and be set to allow incoming files.

OK cool. Thanks for the answers. Bluetooth was on for both phones at the time. I looked through the settings and didn't see anything that would amount to being visible but not allowing incoming data so I will look again. It's not too much of an issue. She keeps me updated anyway.

Help - Can't Find Music

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?

music players can't find music files

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

Galaxy Nexus Ringtones/Notification location

Update - I apologize for the post. I know what happened, or I think I do. I cleared the "Media Storage" data app the previous day in order to get rid of some empty folders I had deleted from my gallery app. I am guessing this also cleared the audio media settings as well. Not sure about the Ringtone and Notification folders on my SD card or how they got there but perhaps after clearing the media data everything audio switched to pointing at those folders (?).
I deleted the SD card folders and rebooted. Sometimes the simplistic of solutions...
Anyways, the apps now point back to the correct audio locations.
Hi,
Had something odd occur yesterday, I noticed my text messages no longer had a ringtone when incoming. So I checked the settings and sure enough it was set to silent, but the reason was because I no longer had any other ringtones, just silent and Google Hangouts ringtone.
I had not even used my phone up to that point yesterday so I have no idea how this happened.
Anyways, I see that the folders Ringtones and Notifications in my SD card root were empty so I look online, find the Nexus Ringtones and add them back. Now I have the ringtones to select in my sound settings for apps.
However, my download of the ringtones also had sounds for the UI folder and when looking to see where that folder goes, cause I don't see it in my SD root, I realize that they all go in /system/media/audio and that all the sounds are in fact in those folders.
So, does anyone have any idea why the ringtone and notification settings for apps didn't find the folder? Or, where I can look to find how to point them back to the correct location.
Thanks for any help or ideas. I have no clue what happened.
Stock Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Not rooted.

Ringtones

I have some custom ringtones that I've used on each of my last 3 or 4 phones and was wondering how I would get them into the right folder so that I could utilize them on my newest toy, which I received yesterday. I actually emailed them to myself this morning, so they're in my download folder.
I typically assign my 12 most frequent phone callers their own ringtones, which are song snippets that match them perfectly.
Anyway, any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Plug the phone into the USB on your desktop and switch themode on the phone from Charging to Gile transfer.
Copy them into the Ringtones folder/directory in main storage (/storage/emulated/0/Ringtones).

There are folders under \root\sdcard for "Notifications" and "Ringtones" that you can plop your files in to. Once you put them there they'll show in the list of available sounds for either when you go about the normal process of setting up sounds for the various functions.
