Hello,
I am using my HD2 as my primary music device in the car. When using shuffle on a playlist; the music player go the next track but the music player will not move forward to display the next song. If I go to the home screen, and back to the music player it will catch up and be fine for a song or two but then go back to the same issue.
Another example would be in the main screen of the music player, the wrong song and album art will be displayed. If I go into Library/Now Playing, the correct album/track will be displayed. If I press Back, it will show the last song played.
Is anyone else having this issue? I have searched the threads but not finding anything to help remedy this frustrating problem. It seems to work for a bit, then I will have to get out of the music player and back into temporarily remedy the problem, just to have it do the same thing again.
Thanks!
Has anyone run into this issue?

Sort of...
I've noticed when using the built in sense player if I turn shuffle on while playing songs it will sometimes display the wrong album art until I go into library or exit and go back in.
My thought are that it has something to do with CHT.
Do you use CHT?
I am not sure what CHT is.
CHT = Cookie Home Tab
Never had this issue you stated.. hmm
Hello,
I have the same problem and at least one more...
Now, when I start playing a music it stops after 10 seconds ...
I'm not an expert but, like Faelok, I'm convinced that this is something coming from CHT... Never had this problem with the original configuration...
Now I'm ignoring the original Music Player and I'm using either S2P or Pocket Music.
The new S2P is freeware and it is more then Ok to use in the car.
Cheers

I am using the stock config and yet having this issue. My music plays flawlessly,it is just the visualization that its effected. I hate to keep taking my eyes off the road to hold this things hand and force it too update. All off my tags are correct, album art is all there for every album. I hope someone had a fix for this as its very annoying.
Thanks!
Thanks for your replies. I wonder if this is just the nature of the sense music player and no way to correct it. You would think that if it will refresh and catch up to the correct album art and track name if you get out of the player and come back in there would be a way remedy the behavior. I'm interested to see how many others are experiencing the same problem.

Are you controlling S2P over bluetooth or just your finger?
It looks like album view has been disabled in the recent version .80. My whole reason for this post it to try to get the album art to display properly. It looks like the dev for S2P is working hard on it and wish him the best
I'd still lilke to find a fix for the issue I posted but I am not coming up with anything.
Hi all,
I am looking for a player that can add folders to playlist, queue songs and be controlled from the original htc earphones.
Can you please advice me?
All players i tried messed up the default settings for audio playback and don't really want to try myself anymore.
I didn't found a related thread so i opened a new one. excuse me if there is one already.
If important my phone is t8585 with original rom, manila etc.
have you tried the Pocket Player (commercial) - it can add files/folders to cuurent playlist (just like "enquee in Winamp" in Winamp), not sure about HTC headphones
another popular alternative is Nitrogen, haven't tried it though
No I haven't tried any of them. It seems Nitrogen will do the job for me. I will give it a try. Once I found an old version of winamp for pocket but it was hanging all over the time and it wasn't for a touch device.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Is it me or does the SGS2 not show the artist tag in .m4a files? whats going on?
I installed PowerAmp, it's the only music app I could find that shows all of the tags and artwork for my iTunes music files (m4a's).
Mine still has missing tags? every other phone I've had has been fine? what have samsung done? and why??
the tag is still there when I load it back to iTunes, but something on the phone is stopping the tag being seen, very strange?
havent been using .m4a files yet but will try some out tonight when i get home from work. tried any other media player such as winamp? maybe a tag problem with PowerAMP?
I've used Doubletwist, Winamp, PowerAMP, and a tag editor to see what wrong, all do the same thing, can't figure it out, and the SGS2 guide it says plays .m4a's but its the only android phone I've seen this on?
You could always sync with Winamp and tell it to transcode .m4a into another format during sync, it's in the device properties when your phone is plugged in!
I could, but important now using spotify and synchronized my playlists, crazy but works.
I still don't understand why the sgs2 won't see the tags on m4a files? My nexus s and desire s do? Strange Samsung idea maybe?

I don't know, but I'm hoping it's easily fixed... I've just sold my iPod Touch so I can use the SGSII as my music player when I get it! Ripped some of my favourite CDs to .flac as well for the best music quality
Well if you find out, let me know, its bugging me, and seams to make a great phone, a bit second rate!

Just got my SGSII yesterday... my m4a tags are fine! Not sure what's happening with yours D:
EDIT: I was totally wrong, the artist didn't show up. Luckily I had like one album in m4a format, so I changed it to mp3 and everything's fine now! Just missing a few album arts here and there, but I think that's more a Winamp problem than a problem with the SGSII
Mine are the same .m4a artist tag shows as unknown. Play fine etc just doesn't show the artist
I've noticed that the Kies software from Samsung doesn't recognise any of the music tags for m4a files either even though it downloads codecs?
how have you guys transferred the music onto the s2?
I'm using Winamp to drag and drop, then play using Winamp on the phone and the same happens to me. 10GB of my 20GB collection is in m4a too.
Try using sync with Winamp and tell it that m4a isn't supported, and to transcode m4a into mp3 maybe? Might do the trick!
I found this after having copied files to the new phone, then searching under the artist and not finding the album I had copied. I searched for a keyword in the song name and sure enough - same symptoms. m4a files purchased form iTunes, plays the file fine, but not sorted properly.
Guess I'll give another music player app a shot.

All the other players I tried use the system media DB as the source, which is where the data problem lies.
I tried Winamp, poweramp, doubletwist and all have the same problem.
Looks like maybe we need a firmware update to fix this?
M4A tracks don't have an artist
I have the same issue here.
Any applications that use the system media library (which include DoubleTwist, Winamp, PowerAMP) don't display the artists.
I downloaded a tag editor app onto the phone, but when I go to edit the tags, they are all correct, it does seem to be an issue with the system, and not any apps.
Has anyone tried installing the default music player from vanilla Gingerbread?
Or is the media library part of the OS more than just that app?
Would imagine that the stock Android music player will have the same problem. It's pretty apparent that Samsung have customised the media scanner and broken it for no apparent reason, since it worked just fine before!
I'm not completely clear on how components such as the media scanner/media store database are packaged up but would hazard a guess that it might be possible to replace the Samsung version with the vanilla version...
In PowerAMP > Folders view, if I long press a m4a file then select Info I can clearly see that the artist info is there.
However, in Library view (which I wan't using at all until last week) the Artist section is definitely missing the m4a files.
The problem somehow seems to be all files that use AAC-codec (m4a, mp4, etc.). My .mp4-files wich worked perfectly on my old SGS are now broken (tags, that is).
It must be a system problem, cause other programs experience this also. And The music player seems to be pretty much the same as in SGS.
REALLY hope they fix this soon. I've been ripping my CD:s tp MP4:s for years. Not going to convert them all to mp3:s.
Is there a good player that will stream all my music in a Music folder I created? I can play them but it only lets me pick one song at a time. I would like to just pick them all and put it on shuffle. -thanks

this is what i am discovering. it's bad enough listening to studio music, but it totally kills the flow of live shows. anyone got a good answer?
beyond that, google music and streaming media player both stop if i steer away from them. ES Media Player is the only one that will allow me to do other things on the phone at the same time. the issue with it, however, is that it doesn't stop if i get a call. i answer and the music keeps playing.
ideas?
There is a player I use called CloudAround. It's in the market and it's great!
you can also try MusicDropNPlay
Bringing this up again to see if there are any new recommendations. I'm downloading CloudAround now and will report back.
How do you like CloudAround?

Let us know what you think of CloudAround. We are running in the fast lane with it and have some large features coming this month. We are adding selective sync (no more syncing your 100GB of data for just 5GB of music), folder views (for songs you don't have tagged or weren't recognized), and m4a support (pending Jan launch).
We're always open to suggestions as well.
Have a great day
I with the music app was better. I organize all my music by artist/cd so all the meta data is set up like that. This player does not do that. Any one of of another music player for Tizen? Or maybe tips on how I can make this better?
edit
well I see if I look at them under albums, it will keep the mp3s in order of the way I set them up so that might help some.
