I push fodlers to my SD card currently but there are times when it splits songs/albums for seemingly no apparent reason. Like the album A Deathgrip On Yesterday is split into two albums. Track 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 and then Track 5 is on a seperate album.
Is there a cure for this or is it something Im just going to have to live wiht? Most of my audio files are from thepiratebay and I just unzip with utorrent and push the files i want to my card
You can edit the mp3 tags to fix that, if it's what I think it is...

Just been syncing some music to my TP2 and, rather annoyingly, the HTC music player will not play in track number order!!
If I use windows media player, the tracks play in their correct order.
Anyone else seen this - or got a solution??
Are you using .m4a (AAC) files from iTunes? If so, my Touch Pro (raphael) does exactly the same thing. I find it so annoying too. Real shame to hear that HTC still can't even get this one simple thing right. Search the forums, there are various posts about it here and there, though as yet I don't think anyone has worked out a way around the problem - do have a look for yourself though as I gave up searching a few months ago ; )
If you use MP3 files, they will appear in track order...
Come on HTC - this is terrible!
My source music is wma lossless, and the sync process transcodes it into 192K WMA files on the phone.
Can`t believe this is a long standing bug!! V poor!!
just disavble any crappy "transcoding" in activesync - you don't need it.

I cant do that - my source files are *lossless* - that means file sizes of around 40mb per track!!!!

I have the same problem. I'm use the same songs from my fuze and the fuze loaded them right
anyone found a fix for this yet?
My source files are also lossless wma and the sync transcodes them to 128kb/s wma and I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to convince some HTC tech support guy that this is actually happening. I'm about ready to pull my hair out, this guy will not admit even the possibility of this happening. He keeps coming up with yet another thing to try or another reason that it is my fault.
I'm OK with the occasional bug in SW. Just as long as the company acknowledges it and works to fix it but when they go to this much trouble to avoid even acknowledging it ...

i had been looking for a fix to this issue for a very long time, until i found out that the problem is caused (in my case) by
1) windows media player not saving the track numbers correctly into the files
2) touch flow only looking in the "right" place for the track information, which is not the place where wm player stores it
my solution:
1) download mp3tag (freeware app)
2) put all tracks of album you want to fix into the program
3) select all tracks and re-save the tag information (you don't have to change anything, the program just saves the information that is in the audio file "somewhere" into the right place)
4) place the fixed files on your phone again
easy fix....use coreplayer
I never liked the way WMP or the native media player handled files, etc. Coreplayer has been such a better experience!
Just wanted to get a feel how different users add music to their tp2. Personally, I use the drag-n-drop method to copy mp3's from my laptop to my tp2, simply because it's infinitely faster than syncing files.
It seems my preferred method makes using the touch-flo (sense) music tab obsolete, as it doesn't seem to properly recognize the files, so I use wmp. I know I'm in the minority, but I love wmp.
Anyway, how do you get your tunes on your phone...???
Drag and Drop
But...occasionally my album art won't show up, and I have to sync an album, which takes forever and a day.
Ive always been keen on drag and dropping using folders. I might be old school or whatever but syncing and other setups just annoy me and get in my way.
On a different note though I wish the media player could sort by album artist and not just song artist.
p-
I do drag and drop as well, but I actually just stream alot of my music because I only have an 8GIG memory card, and I have 250 on my server (my computer) so, i use WMP, but drag n drop is the way to go!
I have 7gb of music on my tp2 and i have never plugged my tp2 to a computer. i always download my albums directly to my tp2. i dont have a problem with my music tab or album art.

where do you download from...???
Hi everyone, I installed a new radio in my car yesterday which has a USB port. I figured I could easily move the music onto my sd card /Music for example and simply plug the phone into the USB and I would be able to navigate through artists folders/albums/and chose the song.
Unfortunately, it has not been so easy. For some reason the radio will not read sub directories. It will see all the folders that are in the root (ex. LOST.DiR, Handcent, Music, doubleTwist etc...) but it will not read most folders inside Music. The weird part is that it does recognize the ACDC folder and the A.F.I. but nothing else...It will also play any song that is inside the Music folder as long as it's not inside an artist folder.
I also tried to create a different folder in the root directory and move music there and it wont even see the manually created folder.
I'm truly baffled by this, i've done extended amounts of research and come up empty handed. Has anyone had this problem?
I too would like to know how to get this to work.

If it will read anything in the root of the Music folder, why not put all your music there? You dont need to separate the music into artist and album subfolders, the player will read the id3 tag.
Honestly, I wouldn't even mess around with it if I was in your situation. I would just go and buy a $30 thumb drive and put all the music on that and call it a day.
No the radio will just display every song individually and i have around 6000 songs. Oh well ill just use the aux port. I hate scrolling through music on my car stereo anyway. It's just really annoying and if your like me then you want to know how things work. Thanks for the suggestion though.

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..
