i'm not sure it will help, but i had problems with my music player too, it would freeze and lag all the time (the hd2 doesn't seem to respond well with a lot of songs), what I did is organized the songs in the MUSIC folder by artist, each artist has it's own folder and the songs go inside. you can sync via WM player.
again, im not sure it's the same problem/

Well, you think that's bad, you want to try putting a 32gb card in. Spent most of a hundred quid hoping the additional memory would greatly enhance my phone, only to find the music list in sense just grinds to a halt. the screen is stubborn to scroll, and when it does, it is jumpy, with blank areas on the screen. Not the card - tested it and it has 11mb read speed. Phoned up HTC customer support who couldn't help. Just recommended re-formatting the card and performing a hard reset on the phone. Bit of a pain, as I'm pretty sure it won't solve the problem. Windows media player is a little better. I too have about 1000 songs and quite a lot of photos. However, this only takes up about 15gb. Don't know what will happen when I fill the card. Well for now, I will do as they suggest. Any one has any suggestions - be glad to hear. Fantastic phone, but this is a big problem.
there is a fix for this.just try to search the forum. deactivate cht locksreen and use the regular windows one... theres another tweak that escapes me at the moment but it has something to do with copying an exe file to the start up folder... happy searching...oh btw, i use a 32gb card and it works flawlessly(about 10gb worth of music and 15gb worth of pix)...
I found what boogir was talking about but it has not solved my problem, anyone else have a suggestion?

If you guys are all having problems with Sense Music Player tab, then you should try this. You"ll find the solution in the post #31.
Tried it! Nothing!

I've had my gTab for about a month now. It's running Vegan and has CWM. It deleted a whole slew of pictures a few weeks ago (they were some comics I was wanting to read) from the microSD card I put in it and figured maybe it was a random occurrence, so I put the pictures back on it. Same thing happened. Last week I was in class and needed to record my professor's lecture, so I busted out my gTab and recorded away. After the lecture I made sure I could find the file on my gTab so I could share it with a few friends. Today I go to take the lecture from my gTab and it's gone.
Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know what's going on? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a problem with Vegan? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate any and all help.
Don't know if this makes any difference, but before I installed Vegan and CWM, I got stuck in a boot loop using stock TNT. Installing CWM fixed it.
I can't help but this happened to me too. Also on the
external microsd card.
But I'm running tnt lite 4.4 ....
Don't trust any data to android I think is the lesson.
Known issue. The fix involves putting an empty file called .nomedia on the root of the microsd (aka "sd2") card. Search forum for ".nomedia"
The gtab likes to delete media from the sdcard2 when it scans for media. It is a known issue that everyone has but there is no good fix yet. Put an empty file named .nomedia on the root of sdcard2. It will stop the media scan and stop the media from being deleted.
Put an empty file named .nomedia on the root of sdcard2.

But then - correct me if I'm wrong - music players won't see the music
files on sdcard2 and you can't play your songs.
Nice Q&A google!
( just 'cause it'a "known issue" doesn't make it OK)
Albright, some media players do see the files, some don't it seems. The native player does NOT. In any case, you can navigate to the file using a file/root explorer and open them that way if necessary.
Correct about the native player - it won't see your music anymore. That's the caveat.
This has been a problem since Day One. It used to not scan /sdcard2 at all, then VS fixed that but then things started getting deleted (which is worse, imo).
I use "andless" or Rockbox for music, to get around this issue. I actually prefer a directory-based structure versus a database-based one.
andless looks good - also looks like it doesn't demand
too much from the battery. Aagreed that folder based players
are to be preferred.
thanks for that
Weird thing I've noticed: I've been using the Erebos theme, flashing it over both Axura and Bionix. After flashing (so, with a fresh system), I've copied a few mp3 files from my system to my phone. I've played them via the music player, and then I've set them for my notifications (a song for my ringtone, a sound effect for my SMS. Both as mp3 sounds).
After a day or so, though, my system stops recognizing them as valid audio files. First, the ringtone defaults to silent because it's set to the MP3 but the system no longer recognizes the file. After I've noticed that, I've gone into the music player, which informs me that it no longer recognizes the file.
After some troubleshooting, it appears that setting the phone to silent is what has caused it. I've done that via the dropdown menu the lock screen. The system seems to re-recognize the files after a reboot, but not after simply going from silent to not-silent.
Anyone else ever heard of this? Is there any work around? The idea of rebooting my phone after I put it on silent is kind of irritating...
Never had this issue, and I've gone through this same process before. Has it only occured on new ROMs? (If they're not already) have you tried placing on your internal SD card?
If placing on your internal SD card, it may be a problem with your external SD.

Those are the only two roms I've used. Might have to try a third, I guess. I've actually not been using an external SD lately. Not even a card in the slot. Maybe I should try one in there, see if that fixes it.

Tried using a 16gb sd card today, but didn't notice a difference. Any guidance? Change roms? Different kernel?
Oddly enough, I have had the same issue, and I'm really glad you posted this thread, as my troubleshooting didn't get as far as isolating to putting my phone on silent. I will definitely try to leave it off of silent for a few days and see if that makes a difference.
I had this problem with KB5 released by Samsung, then had the same problem using Trigger, which is built off of KB5. It's possible that it is a bug in KB5, but obviously, not many people seem to be hitting it, so who knows...
Edit - just noticed that you had the same problems with Bionix and Axura, which I don't think are KB5, so there goes my theory...
I am also having the same exact problem. I am using bionix 1.3.2. I have Odin'd back to stock and re-installed but that didn't solve my problem. I believe this also causes other functions to stop working, like you tube. Therefore, many people have this same problem but have been putting it under many topics. Does anyone know a solution to this?

I would hardly say it HAS to be hardware. It could be any range of other software related things, such as settings we use or apps we have installed.
Here are the things that make it seem NOT hardware related-
-Rebooting fixes it. That doesn't eliminate hardware, but it's evidence against it.
-It seems to impact local audio files whether they are system sounds, or MP3s stored on any on-board storage, which doesn't seem like a hardware issue.
-It also impacts streamed audio, since when I'm in the bug state, it impacts amazon cloud player, pandora AND youtube.
I would say it's possibly hardware in that "anything's possible" sort of way, but I think it's more likely to be software. That is not to say it's the particular ROMs or kernels we're running - more likely the way we have some settings set or apps configured, etc.
Hello All,
I wondered if one of you experts may be able to help me with an issue I'm having with my SIII please? I'm a long time browser of the site but haven't posted much until now.
This issue is coming between me and my sleep (and I mean that literally.)
I can't seem to master the art of getting music onto my S3. I thought it would be as simple as using iSyncr as I had with my S2. Alas, no.
Because of the changes to the mass storage mode (I am running a Mac), I have to download the Android File Transfer thing to connect my phone at all to my Mac.
When I use iSyncr now, it's slightly buggy. I put the phone into MTP mode, it starts copying music across and then after a certain number of tracks, it throws up an MTP issue where it says certain songs can't be copied. I then have to go around the houses and start clearing data from the media storage app in my settings and rebooting the phone. Then, I try again and get so far and the same thing happens again with different songs.
Also, when some songs transfer the albums appear split in the phone (though this is minor annoyance compared to the above).
I have left it on overnight and come back to my computer and it all looks finished, yet of my 6700 songs, only 3400 have transferred.
I've tried going the old fashioned way and spend last night dragging and dropping files onto the memory card using the Android File Transfer mode. I got one message saying a song couldn't be copied, yet when I actually got up and checked, again, only 3400 odd songs had transfered. There were no error messages and we're not talking DRM songs that hadn't gone across.. but some that I had ripped myself. It's all very odd.
Don't mention DoubleTwist - that's even worse.
This is really driving me mad as I am a big music player and I don't want to fork out for and have to carry an iPod too. I just sold my iPhone to use the S3 as I assumed it would be simple like the S2 but this is making me so upset with the phone. It's as though Google have deliberately locked out Mac functionality.
It's an unlocked unit, with a sandisk 64GB card inside. That was formatted by the phone and when I tried using a card reader instead, the computer said it couldn't be recognised.
I'm throwing myself at your knowledgeable feet here and hoping that somebody knows exactly what is happening here and what it is I could do to fix it. My entire weekend has been wasted sitting in front of this computer and I really want to fix it.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Can't help with your immediate issue I'm afraid (waiting for my S3 and I don't have a mac... ) but have you contracted the devs of iSyncr to let them know of the issue - at least that way they can start working on an update.
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad
I sure have!
Thanks for contacting me and pointing me to this thread.
First off, I've pre-ordered the international S3 so that I can test this out. We just do not have them in Texas yet.
Secondly, I've been unimpressed with Android's MTP's robustness on other devices. I filed several bug reports for different scenarios that corrupt the MTP database in March of 2011. Zero have been touched by Google. Given this, the first thing we should try is rebuilding the MTP database, which lives inside the "Media Storage" app. I've put these instructions in an easy to follow tutorial.

Please let us know if that helps the issue.
Cheers!

Don't suppose anyvody has any solution for this? Really don't want to take my S3 back but will have to at this rate. I think it's shocking that the S3 is so crippled from a Mac's perspective since the changes to MTP. Android File Transfer app doesn't really fix anything.
I have the same problem. Even using AFT, it wil not see the phone until I put it into PTP mode. THen I can copy data to it. isyncr see the phone in MTP mode but keeps telling me device failed to load.
I'm going to mention
I know I shouldn't mention it but here you go Double twist!
Right I've had some problems and this is what actually worked.
First you have to use itunes. If your music is a mess then a app on the app store called 'dupin' will remove any duplicate songs you have (it worked well for me). if you have lots of dead file links in your library just remove all your library files and then click 'add to library' be careful that itunes does not copy the files you add to the itunes music folder - see preferences.
1. Make a 'new playlist' --> add all your songs to it (press command+a etc). If you have a large music library like me then you can make a 'smart playlist' and limit the size of the playlist, handy eh!!
2. Open doubletwist on your mac and immediately make sure in 'preferences' the 'automatic sync' option is switched off (I had an incident where my whole library syned with 2 of my external hardisks...oops...and the funny thing is that one of the hard disks was where the music stored). Make sure the 'import itunes playlists' option is also selected.
3. In the doubletwist andriod app Select the SD card as library storage and Enable the 'Airsync' function in doubletwist (you will have to pay for the app but in my opinion it's worth it - it also supports ACC files).
4. Enter the pair code into the mac application.
5. Select the option to sync your playlists only (don't try anything fancy!!). You should see the one you made in itunes here.
6. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT: you should by now see the 'airsync' icon at the top of the screen. PULL DOWN THE NOTIFICATION CENTER AND TOUCH THE 'DOUBLETWIST IS SYNCING'. You will see a funky swirly multicoloured wheel LEAVE THE PHONE ALONE UNTILL ALL YOUR MUSIC HAS SYNCED ACCROSS.
Dont lock your phone as this seems to mess it up...
Hope this helps. I understand your pain, I lost a weekend too!
Notes: Podcasts and DRM stuff does not sync.
Notes: If your playlist is not the full size of your music library then if the 'live updating' option is turned on in your smart playlist then when you click sync in doubletwist it will sync different songs each day (I think...)
If none of the above works, you always have a nice shiny 50gb of free dropbox storage as an interim solution

If you are already an iSyncr user, as this person is, there is no reason to leave me for doubleTwist. We've got iSyncr WiFi, which we came out with before doubleTwist and is only a .99 cent upgrade. If you've got an issue with it, just email me, and we'll make sure it works on your S3.

If its possible, try installing VMware fusion, and you can run windows inside your MAC in a virtual machine, you can try this if everything else fails...
You know where to download these softwares
You can try for free...and find the serial key easily using Google.
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html
I purchased the isycr wifi option and it is working fine... I think they have a "lite" version that you can try, but it only syncs one playlist or something, but you can see if it works or not. But that is what I am using now.

How about with the motorola defy ? Still waiting on that if you can have a look at fixing that one.
Hello all, I had recently upgraded to a SanDisk Class 4 32GB microSD card and within a few days after I had merged all of my phone's data and my old sd's data, my pictures come up as broken files, and my music shows about 5-8 duplicates of each song but only a select few will play and the others will act like they're playing but no audio plays and the seconds of the song stays at zero. I even restart my phone with the sd out and the media scanner doesn't show that it's running, and I'm pretty sure it's not because when I go back to the music player I still see all of the songs that are on my sd and the pictures still show that they're broken...idk how the files still show in there without the sd card being in there, but I'm afraid I might have done something wrong when I had cut and pasted all of the files from the phone itself onto the sd. I have no real knowledge of android programming or rooting or anything like that so I figure it would help to mention my phone is stock but officially upgraded to 4.0.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and could possibly help more users out there!
I think you have to go to settings-apps-all tab-media storage- clear data. I think I remember right. Maybe try it without your card in. Replace SD card and turn on phone and I think it will scan correctly.
Or something like that. Hope it helps
Yeah I've tried all of the available functions from the phone and also mounting & unmounting it. I'm assuming from being a windows user that I might have transferred over some sort of "playlist" that remembers all of the file extensions for each file, and since they're not located in their original place it cant find the file...idk but it really takes a toll on my drive to work!
Guys . I am on the the latest official samsung leak from two days ago. everything seems to work fine for the most part. However i have this problem with Icons , emoticons and album artwork not only showing up in my photogallery but pretty much outnumbering my photos 2 to 1. It has gotten to the point where I am no longer synchronising my phone with my pc. my Music folder also has windows files that are not music just sounds that windows makes. today i formatted my external sd card and erased all music and pictures from my internal storage as well.. In reinstalled windows too because i have been seeing these things on my pc as well. i used a flash drive to put about 2 gigs of pictures and 6 gigs of music on both my phone and pc.at this point i thought i had cleaned everything up and that just not syncing would solve my issues until i looked at my dropbox and google plus and picasa accounts. in no time at all my pc was already putting icons and artwork with my pics.
I looked into this issue on other forums on xda . but this problem does not seem to have much of a solution. some say to put .nomedia files in the directories which i have my pics and music. others say that it doesnt work with ics or hc i havent seen any solution for jb. or I9300 or 4.2.2 . By the way I am using the external micro SD card to store pics and music. maybe thats the problem. I dont know. My question is Does anyone know how to fix this short of avoiding syncing with a pc and ditching cloud storage?

Well there isn't a sure shot solution. For the album arts, try embedding them directly to the mp3 files. That should help. And try not to use the stock gallery app. Use quickpic and hide pics you don't want to see.
.nomedia does work on JB, but I'm not sure that it does what you want.
It is used to hide pictures from the gallery, audio from the music player etc.
It's just a case of creating an emtpy file called ".nomedia".

That's a contradiction in terms. It's either official or it's a leak. In this case it's a leak
