Music not showing up in HTC Music player - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The music player has been working fine until I added more songs today. The new songs are not showing up, and the songs that I deleted are still listed. (Same thing while using 3 and tunewiki.)
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

changes you make with a file manager (astro, estrongs, etc) arent reflected immediately. download this and run it whenever you make changes: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.bero.sdrescan
since its been a day since your post, your songs are probably already updated properly. so just use this for the future.

[Q] Samsung Music Square.

The new Music app has the Music Square feature that for the life of god I cannot figure out how to get working. I understand you're supposed to press a square and generally get a personalised playlist out of it, but any attempt of interacting with the square just tells me that 'Selected list is empty'. Anybody else running into the same issues?
Same here...
Hi guys,
I realized that it will only recognize your songs if you stored it in your phone instead of memory card.
If anyone find the ways to make it work for songs in memory card, please share!!
Thanks in advance.
sooo - i had the same problem and that's how i fixed it go to music player, than choose musicsquare after that press the options Touchbutton and choose "update library" - after it is done the music square should run perfectly
I do not have a SD card so do not know if the issue with recognizing songs only in internal memory is only with your device since i can not test it ... sorry
Did not work for me. I have alot of music on my 64GB card...so much for that...maybe it'll be in the update.
It's working fine for me, including the songs from the external SD.
All I did was from the Music Square tab I updated the library.
Music square>Menu button>Library Update>Done!
music square has ruined my life
i cant get this thing to work at all and i doubt anyone else with a sizeable music collection can. for all those people saying put your music in the phone memory - where is the stuff from the phone memory going to go? the purpose of an sd card is to store your media on so that you dont fill your phone.

My songs are in my 64gb microSD card. Music square is now updating
Worked for me on External SD
Hi Guys: just downloaded over 300 songs from my Amazon Cloud player and transferred them via USB to my SD card under what Windows Explorer called "SCH-I535" (with small mobile phone icon) and the Card-->Music. I copied all the folders.
Then started the Samsung Music Player and the Music Square found all of the songs and analysed them for where they sat within the four axis. Very interesting app--since it's my music, this is a cool way to get a bit of a surprise of what pressing a square will bring. But it did miscacluate one of my driving trance songs as "calm".
An S3 reviewer said this about it: "You can drag your finger across the squares to choose a 'progressive' playlist based on your mood...this is a really nice way of making a playlist from your tunes." So I dragged my finger in a square and it presented a list of 22 songs that "matched" these squares moods.
At first it didn't start working for me when I first bought the phone, but since I updated to LFB, Music Square works.
I have about 3000 songs on a 32gb. I have it under Music folder on the fat32 card. In the music square screen, press menu and select update library and it does a one time scan and that's it.
I have approx 64GB SDCARD and also 16GB music on my phone and it works perfectly with Music square, you have to have minimum of 25 songs on the phone, select update library rfom the menu on the music square page and all will be good to go
yaay for music square... not ... its quite a cool idea but i dont think it works that great. not worth the fuss if im honest. just make your own playlists! i do like samsungs music player though. very clean and easy to use. never crashed on me. never had any problems with it
It's working for me. I select update library every time I add new songs.
But it did stop playing after a number of songs, so I need to select play again.
I like this feature, it just needs to be enhanced.:good:

I have about 1000 songs on my 32 gb sd card. I have run the update library, it then works, for a while then randomly stops, run the update, works again!!
This can be in the space of 1 hour!
Any ideas?
Honestly, music square is not always working properly and alot is mistaken and play songs that are not related to the mood at all and personally I hate when it plays a song that not works wirh my mood which frustrate me , like sometimes I play smooth tunes while having a nap on my ride in bus and suddenly it turns to play some hard tune that differ from mood I selected so I honestly prefer creating my own playlists by myself.

How can i get 'Samsung Music Square' on my redmi 1s??
I'm using a Galaxy S5 but I can't find the Library Update option when i go into the music square.
I'm having the same issue where the selected list is empty.
Any thoughts?

Fixing and/or Reuploading Music to Google's Music Manager

So, recently I heard about Google's Music Cloud thing where you can store 20,000 songs for free apparently. I was interested in this, so I decided to upload my songs to it.
I then decided I wanted to fix up my music collection, so I renamed all my music properly (artist - song (mix)). But then I realized, that the mp3 tags were either non-existent, or still messed up as well.
I have foobar2000 installed, and I was able to wipe out old tag data I didn't want, and then automatically enter then artist and song names in the right tag spots based on filename, so I did this.
So after reuploading my music, I found out that I made a few minor mistakes, and wanted to reupload the entire collection again, but Music Manager doesn't allow you to reupload previously uploaded music, even if you delete it from your music storage.
A fix for this was to rebuild mp3 tags from foobar2000 as well, which then modified every music file (but doesn't actually change the quality of audio or anything), and thus, made them all appear "different" to Music Manager, allowing me to reupload them.
And for a short summary:
- foobar2000 can properly fix music tags based on filename
- foobar2000 can rebuild mp3 tags
- Google's Music Manager lets you upload 20k songs for free (certain restrictions on certain filetypes and protected media)
Maybe someone might find this interesting
Thanks

[Q] Too Many Songs

I open up the music app on the phone (Music or Nokia Music) and it shows over 15,000 songs (long story of stupidity). None of the songs are on the phone though. If I try to play something, it'll hang for several minutes, play something for about 15s and then hang for several minutes again. I think it has something in cache that it tries to play.
How do I get the song list to force update? I can manually delete them from the phone but I I only live once and won't have that much time. The Windows Phone 8 app 'can see' the songs but then errors when trying to delete saying it can't find it. It doesn't have a select all anyway. WMP doesn't see any songs on it. Rebooting the phone doesn't force it to scan either.
Any ideas?
I miss the Zune days.......................
I personally would put all of your music in one easy to mange music folder, get rid of duplicate entries, and make sure you delete all the songs you have on your device through windows explorer. Then, copy and paste the music folder to your device. You will be able to select all or pick and choose copying music this way. It would be the same way you copy music to a thumb drive if that clarifys it for you.
There is no music

There is no music on the device at all. Due to the Itunes / WMP folder structuring hanging the transfers (I just use windows explorer normally). There was no folder structure. Only one folder with 32,000 songs. I then copied about 5600 to the device. THAT turned out to be too much as the device didn't like only having 500k of space left. So I deleted the folder, and tried something smaller.
This went on for a few times only to find out that the songs were not getting removed from the library when the files were removed from the device.
Personally i think wp has a problem with files and music.
i struggled a lot getting the device showing everything that was in the windows8 app.
had duplicate entries of self copied tracks, had problems with album arts,. albums sometimes have just a few songs.
deleting device in xbox.com and unsync didnt help much.
somehow the music i copied on the phone on some day just didnt show up in fthe explorer anymore. so does the hidden album folder.
at the end i tried a hard reset and bricked the phone... didnt do anything appart form playing around with the music folder and app.

I miss the Zune days as well, I hate that I can no longer use it to sync all my content. I really hope they change this in the future, because the Windows Phone App is terrible and doesn't work half the time.
That being said, all the songs you see on your phone aren't actually on your phone. It is pulling them from your Zune account and what is now called your Xbox Music Cloud Connection.
Open up an artist and take a look at the track list - you'll notice a small icon indicating it isn't local. (Attachment 1)
It is streaming it from their servers, this is why it takes long to load, then buffers.
If you wish to disable the device from automatically showing all of these songs, in the Music + Videos app, go into settings (Attachment 2) and disable Xbox Music Cloud Collection. (Attachment 3)
That was it, mostly

That was it. I didn't notice the hidden folders. After removing the contents from them, there were only about 100 songs left in the list which I could then manage via the application to delete.
Fresh music list, starting over.
Thank you
be carefull with this things. bricked my phone with it.. deleted the album folder to get the list new..
also got problems with the cable staying connected and refreshing the data in the folders.
just got everything showing in win8 and phone now.. despite the album covers
Also if you have Windows 8 ... music is uploaded to the cloud and can be streamed to the phone... it isn't perfect, but I have several albums that have just showed up... I think part of that has to do with where it was purchased.
does it update any mp3 you add into the music app?

Yeah it updates everything but the 'collection' tile inside of nokia music. That still had thousands.
I reloaded all the music and it seemed to have got lost again. It seems to work fine until you pass around 2000 songs and then duplicates start showing up everywhere.
Oh well, lesson learned.
didnt know that.. i have thousands of mp3 on a media server in the basement .. but cant bind it into music folder anyways because the network drive does not support indexing

Google Music Manager Not Fully Synced

Hello,
Not sure if this is a proper question for here. I used Google Music Manager to sync my iTunes music from my computer to my GS4. IT seemed to be working great (16,000+ songs) but recently I realized I'm missing some songs. I have several playlists and they are not fully synced. For example I have a playlist with 16 songs and only 10 songs are in the playlist on my GS4. To make things even more odd, if I log into Google play Music on the website, that same playlist shows only 9 songs?!?!
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I love the aspect of this app but not sure why it won't fully work. I have gone thru all settings and hit refresh on all devices with no luck.

[Q] Where did my lyrics go? (Stock music player)

I'll start off by saying I am NOT downloading another program to make this work, I am not downloading a different music playet and I'm not manually tagging each and every song with their lyrics.... never had to before and everything worked fine.
Having said that, my stock Android Music Player used to automatically download the lyrics to any song I was playing and it would display the lyrics without me doing anything else to the phone. All of a sudden, this is not working anymore. I have gone into the settings and made sure that the lyrics check mark box is ticked. I have a Note 3 on 4.4.2. This didn't work even before the kitkat update.
Thanks for any help guys!
