lost MP3's - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi all,
I can find my MP3's in my media player playlist and I can see them in Explorer. I can cut and paste them to the my musicf ile but cannot see them when I open that file.
I guess I have a file recognition probelm, but how do I solve it.
And on another note, I am still having bluetooth handsfree issues(another post on this forum) Spoke to the manufacturer today "Blueant" who adised me to download ROM 1.06.00WE from"myxda" what a joke!
Some self connecting software the froze the whole system repeatedly.
Anyway back to my MP3's any help appreciated.
Cheers
Mark

Music file associations

Can some one kindly explain tome how to get my music file
associations back to standard please.
After downloading Coreplayer I noticed all my music files
had converted to Coreplayer association with the corresponding
CP icons in my file explorer,I would like to change this back.
Cheers for any help you can offer....
Open up core player, hit the menu or options button and you can get to tools then pages and you can find file associations just uncheck mp3, not the best description because i dont use it any more sorry, but its something like that

Cheers bud,I've done that,unchecked a few things and it seems the
WMA files I've got have reverted back OK to
Windows Media Player and have the right icon,but all my MP3's have the
Windows icon you usually get with programs and aren't selectable to play
from File explorer,if I select a track it just drops back to the home screen.
Music tracks are still selectable from HTC Player....
I'm at a brick wall at the moment,don't know what to try next ?
have you tried a soft reset?? and all so tried opening a track through windows media player that way it might pick them up
Yep tried that and updating my WM library,everything plays OK
but I still have this strange icon issue in File Explorer and
of course I can't select them to play from within there...
Seems like I will have to delete all the music and re-load them again,
all my ringtones and notification tones have stopped working.
Strange that they will all still play in hTC music player,but
are not selectable via File Explorer.
I would have liked a definitive answer to how to cure this,but
hey ho something to do on a rainy Sunday removing all my music files.
I ditched Coreplayer,not only did it cause this issue by associating all my
MP3's to itself,I found it quite irritating to use.
Well...deleted everything and uploaded all music files from my laptop again,
still no joy,I really need some more advice...
All my music files are still showing as Windows files with no music association...
please someone help !!
I can't get any of my music files to select as a ringtone,I missed several calls,texts and emails...
for the ringtone try dropping it into device-app data-sounds, i have no music on my phone, but i put ringtones there cause ms instructed me to do so, only problem is ringtone showed up in player and is ur music in ms format - wma i believe - i do not use i got 1.5 gb songs ipod format hope it helps
i decided to try and answer here instead of hd2 place
I have replied to your issue in another forum. Try using Resco File Explorer or Total Commander to set the file association back to wmplayer.exe.
Thanx Web,
but the issue isnt where the files are stored,they do already show up in my
selection of available ringtones and notification sounds (I had already been using them,so they are correctly placed in the phones folders.
The problem is if I click on one to hear it before deciding to select it for
shall we say my main ringtone nothing happens due to it
not having the correct file type....
I have selected 'Opens with' as WMP and they will open up from File Explorer
and play perfectly OK
and also in HTC player,but the file type is showing as 'unknown type'
instead of the generic HTC music icon it should have....
Hope that makes it clearer ?
OK I tried your suggestion Web and ringtones work now... thank fook for that cheers...
although they appear as more than one copy of each in the
selection folder now,this isnt a problem as I know to select the top
version of each to my alotted ring tones and can just delete the
other copies from where I have them stored.
So everything plays as it should now,it's just the icons that
are wrong.
thanks markt77 - appreciate the input - i try - and i am learning good knowledge from u and the other folks over there - boy it is sometimes really hard to get a response at xda when u request answers

[Q] Windows Media Player wont update

Hello Everyone
I have been having this problem for some time and T-Mobile can't assist me so i decided to come here for a try.
I have about 2000 songs on my 16gig card most are of mp3 format. Well i have noticed that when i update the library it doesn't full do so. It goes through and finds the files and then is goes to add the files and then after adding some the player just closes. And when i open it back up i notice that there are A LOT of files that were not added to the player but can easily be played when accessed them via File Explorer.
*I also tried updating the library about 4x to see if the added files were missed some how with no luck.
Its frustrating b/c i prefer to use WMP over the HTC player.
Does anyone have a clue why this happens?
anyone...?
how did you transfer the files to your card?
ive read that syncing through media player on your pc can cause problems and that its better to just drag n drop the media to your sd card...
i did indeed sync through wmp so i could easily get the artist>album>layout. so would it help if i copied the folders back to my pc and then dragged them back to the memory card?
I can't guarantee that it will solve your problem but it might be worth a try....
just out of interest, does the htc sense player find all the files ok?
i just checked and nope that player .seems to be missing more songs than wmp
hmmm typical sense I suppose.......
I would try the drag n drop or maybe even test with another player like nitrogen or something.......
after that Im out of ideas..... sorry
Drag and drop/copy and paste is you best option, delete all the music from your sd card first - it worked for my uk HD2
ok i will try now and update to let you guys know if it worked
OK so i deleted the files and reinstalloed them and unfortunately it didnt work
I even checked by using the HTC player and noticed that player misses songs also. And not all of the same songs.

Music won't show up on music player app

I'm running SC 2.9.1. When I try to listen to music, the music players don't locate or the songs don't show up in the play list. When I try the stock player, I get a Vcast error "Would you like to down music"? When I try the music player that comes on SC 2.9.1, nothing shows up in the view. The same thing happens when I use WinAmp. I've renamed the music folder a few times and still no luck.
Should I reinstall SC 2.9 and then 2.9.1 update? Or has anyone else had this problem and solved it?
This is driving me crazy!!!
Thanks
It sounds to me like you may have a .nomedia file on your sdcard. Search for any file named .nomedia that is on your sdcard and delete them, reboot and when media scanner does it thing it'll find your music. I haven't heard this problem from other users so I would suspect that this is the culprit.

It worked!! Thanks for the help. I've been searching and posting for a solution, it you had it.
You are DA MAN!!!
Peace
After I deleted the .nomedia file and rebooted the SF, I was able to see and play the music files. But then I rebooted the SF, the .nomedia files comes back. It keeps doing this everytime I reboot the phone, so this doesn't allow me to play media files. I have to delete the .nomedia files everytime after I reboot to play media files.
Is there an application that will remove .nomedia? Does anyone know a way to remove the file permanantly?
Thanks
Sounds like you have a script that is attempting to speed up your media scanner, I don't know what you have on your phone so I can't help you solve your problem.
I'll make a suggestion though, use an app that makes the Media Scanner scan, for example "Rescan Media Root" which is free on the market. After you delete the .nomedia file, just run the app instead of rebooting. Should be quicker than what you're doing right now. But in regards to stopping the .nomedia file from coming back eventually, dunno.
i love u man !!!! i had this problem for 2 days, i changed every thing but didnt work
thanks aloooooooooot
( happy tears
this solution worked great! thank you so much!

[Q] Music app not recognizing Artist, Album name of some of the songs?

Has anyone noticed this? I filled my SD card with songs via isyncr but the music app wont recognize atleast 200 of the songs. It gets the name of the song right but no artist or album. First I thought that it was a problem with iSyncr, so I did again with double twist. Same problem. Then I took the card out and put it in a Droid X and I found that all of the songs are easily recognized with Album and Artist names. So it seems that the problem is with the galaxy s2.
Has anyone else noticed this or am I doing something wrong? Does anyone know how to fix this?
anyone who has this problem?
Yes someone else posted similar on general .

slightly off-topic, but what is the general way which people use to put music on this device? Do you just create a Music folder and drag and drop? Do you use that **** kies program?
When I've tried only Kies seems to work, and it just dumps the files into /media. When I try to copy via USB directly windows gives copy errors..
Mine are all AAC+ and i just cut and past to a folder .

[Q] Music Player isn't working.

Hey i have only just purchased my Galaxy10 tablet, i have put a few songs on it but it still says in the 'music player' that there are 0 songs. I am able to listen to these songs individually in 'my files' but i cannot open anything else up (e.g. i cant listen to music while working on polaris office).
Is there something im missing that will easily fix this? or is it a problem with all the galaxy tabs.
Thanks, Nic.
I mentioned thi in your other post, but make sure the music is placed in where the player looks for music. I had this issue with different players looking in different folders and not showing ones the other players would. There's another suggestion in the other post, but I forget what it was. something about clearing the cache in settings/apps/music player you're using. I think.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using one finger.
thanks for the reply, i have tried moving my files around, still no luck. I also read the other suggestion on my other post and i cleared the cache/data of the music player and still didnt make a difference. ill continue trying to fix it though, and hopefully will eventually get it .
Thanks Heaps for putting me that one step closer, Nic.
Post what music player you're using. That will help too.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using one finger.
im using the one that came with it, which is 'Music Player'. I also tried using 'Winamp' but still had no success, if you know of any better apps to use for this it would be greatly appreciated.
any one have any other suggestions on what i could do to fix this problem??
It would be helpful to know where the files are located and what format they are.
Also try moving your music to /sdcard/Music.
hey, umm all my music is in .mp3 format. and the music is in 'my files/music'.
would it make a difference if i used itunes to sync the music from my pc to the tablet? (at the moment i am using 'windows media player' which is up to date)
is your tab rooted? if so, try use root explorer, find the folder and make sure there is no .nomedia file in that folder.if so, delete it and try open music player back
Shouldn't matter, no. Move it to the folder I said and see what happens. Music player is probably looking for them to be in that folder.
ssss
hey, I had the same issue. the fix is simple, go to apps--> Music player and you'll find you music there. if you open the music player in the tray on the bottom of the tablet you wont find your music.
