Music

How do you handle your music? I've got a pretty big collection and I use google music most of the time, but some of my flac files have trouble loading on 3g. So i started putting most of my music on my phone, however, I do have some albums that have individual jpg files for album art and are showing up in my gallery. I read that theres a way to actually embed the art into the file itself to prevent it from showing in the gallery? Do any of you use Media Monkey to handle and sort your music?

I use a program called Mp3Tag. It works well.
Here's the link: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

+1 for mp3tag. It's awesome. Fixed my entire mp3 collection with it and Monkey before uploading to Google Music.

Hmm, I deleted all my jpg files that I had, did you fix each album separately or did u just do them all at once? Is it worth making playlists too?

That looks like a great program!
Anyone on OS X know of an equivalent?

I use media monkey and mp3gain before I put them on my phone. They work fine in poweramp, no problem with album art.

No there us no Mac version of it. I'm forced to tag my music in Windows then transfer them over to my laptop I use for DJing.

Bummer
I saw there was no Mac version of the specific program, I was just interested in a utility that would do the same on Mac.
Years ago I used one but I cannot remember the name. This isn't the one I used but I might give it a go tonight.

I use Media Monkey. Best app in existence.
I have about 19000 tracks on a synology ds211+ running twonky server and use media monkey over smb shares to manage it all. I have one share I dump all my purchased mp3 in. Have media monkey scan that share when I start it up. After I make sure it's all tagged properly I auto-organize (move) them to the share that Twonky sees for music. Keeps Media Monkey from having to rescan the main library since it's kind of large.
Works for me.
Edit: yes, I ask media monkey to store all art in the tags. And I delete the image files afterward. Amazon mp3 has their stuff tagged so well I never have to do anything more than auto-organize it.

wait, does media monkey auto tag? I just spent hours manually tagging each album (120+) with mp3tag
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Monkey will use parts of the existing tag and search for the rest (including covers). It's not pure auto tagging but it's better than manually doing it.
It's great for finding covers. I use Mp3tag when I want to manually embed a better quality cover than what monkey finds. ...or for tag cleaning.
But for mass album tagging, I use monkey.

SiriusXM app is pretty good, as long as you have 3G & unlimited data.

Media scanner not scanning local music

I use isyncr to get music from my iTunes onto my gnex. Worked fine at first, then suddenly no music app except spotify will see my local music. Even after wiping media storage data, wiping phone itself, and changing Roms. Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Bump. No one has any ideas?

I'm having the same issue only with Pictures... they wont show up in my Gallery. No answer to this yet, huh?

Make sure there is not a .nomedia file in those directories.

Just checked, there isn't. If I take a new picture it shows up, any prior pictures which are definitely in the same directory do not show up.

Have you tried Google Music Import from the Market?

I don't have a problem myself for music since I use Google Music but I have had that problem with the Gallery. I think it's a bug with the stock Gallery app, and the pictures show up fine using a third-party one like QuickPic. Not an elegant solution but it works.

After quite a bit of troubleshooting. (Clearing Caches, wiping gallery data, wiping media storage data, etc...) I've come to the conclusion that the stock gallery just does not scan for existing media. Not sure why, but it is what it is.

Stock music player app...

Does anyone have the problem where the music player pulls all audio files including ringtones and notification tones and displays them in the list? I find it frustrating that it does this. Does anyone know a way to get around this?

No just plays music from my music folder try putting all ur music in a music folder. Before u do that force close the player then erase data for it and the media storage then make ur folder.

Music not showing up on twiz player.

I have a question regarding the twiz music player. I'm on jellyb and somehow my stock music player or the Walkman can't "see" some of my music even thought they're in mp3 format. I've tried renaming the damn songs and they still don't pop up. I am able to play them using es explorer and having it play through stock app but it's just not popping up. Any ideas of how I could fix this?

If you just put on phone you might need to rescan media. There are apps in play store to force a rescan. Then I had a problem in the past where a app was creating a .nomedia file so the media scanner skipped that folder.

Almost like deja vu. Having the same issue in either the stock music player or Play Music. Just moved over to Note 2 from S3 and didn't have this happen on S3. Tried unmounting and mounting external SD card so as to force a rescan, no dice.
So i just rebooted the phone, went to Music Player and it's blank, says i have no music on phone. While contemplating what to do next (including downloading a re-scan media app from the market) i just let it alone and a minute later all my music started showing up and populating. I guess it took its sweet time to re-scan or get it's head right.

Only other couple things off the top of my head would be go to settings and application manager find the music player and try clearing data. My guess is that won't work since it's multiple players. Other thing I know some songs I downloaded from a mp3 app before didn't show until I updated the id3 tag for some reason. The ones that didn't show had a bunch of garbage in the id3 mostly random symbols. Once they got corrected they started showing up for me. But that was when I had my epic touch. Hope it works for ya.

Songs not showing up

Okay. I've tried on root box and now axis m. Any songs I add after installing WILL NOT show up. I have tried restarting, forcing a media scan with an app "rescan media" nothing works. Please help me before I lose my mind..

Check for any folders labeled " .no media ". That will prevent media scanner from seeing that folder.

No..nothing like that..even selected "show hidden"

Check settings on your media player. Sometimes it's not looking in what it thinks is the right place. For example, you know your music is on your external sd. But if your music player is looking for in /storage/sdcard1 for music and its actually labeled as /storage/extSdCard, it won't see it.

How do I do that on the stock Samsung music player..I don't see it
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

On the stock player,I have no idea. Try using one of the free players on the market. Maybe it's Rom related, or it could be the stock player.
