I am having issues with media playback..it stutters...and skips, resulting in the media player asking me if I want to delete the file as it cannot be played back..its the same files on my MicroSd card that I had before.I am running 2.1 now and on 1.6 it was fine...I am using MediaScape...tried different players from the Market and the issue still exists...
Any way to fix this?

im still no closer to playing media files with media player
my media player is version 8.5 build 12177
i have tried all media types, it plays music fine but wont play any mwa wma mpeg avi files at all
ive tried installing other media players and the same problem occurs, it comes up with a message saying something along the lines of, there are no programs associated with that file type
i also installed a newer upto date rom and it made no difference
can anybody help, i really am out of ideas
What rom version are you at. I have the same problem and I'm at A.30.09. I started to have this problem after i upgrade from PPC2002. Hopefully we can find a solution.
Hi folks,
My Hero runs on 2.1.
I've recently moved some music onto my phone but no matter what I do, the mp3s are not detected by either the stock mp3 player or MixZing player. When I access the actual mp3 files through Linda file manager and open them using MixZing, they play, but I get an error about tags missing.
After seeing this error, I've downloaded a couple of different tag editors and made sure every single field (i.e. genre, artist, etc.) was filled out properly. Still, the problem remains: no mp3 player on the Hero detects these mp3 files.
Anyone run into this problem before and know the fix?
Thanks!
Problem solved. The way windows media player synced the files was not good. I replaced them manually in a different folder and, presto.
Mods, you can close or delete this.
My X10a with the rogers firmware has choppy music playback, even when mediascape is the only app open. I've re-installed the firmware 3 times, any suggestions?
Hi,
I seem to be experiencing choppy music on a separate device the Motorola Droid Pro. Using either the built in music player or WINAMP.
It seems there may be an underlying cause to both our problems. Were you able resolve yours?
Have you got access to another SD card? could be a fault on that? what's video playback like?
I was exploring the possibility of using the GTab as a music player in my car. While trying this out, I discovered that when the music (WMAs) is on a 16GB (Class 2) card, GTab will not find the music. The music, however, is there and I can find and play the tracks via iFilemanger or Sniffer but usually will show as Unknown Artist/Album.
When those same music tracks are placed on a 4GB Card, GTab finds them just find and all details show in the music player. For S&Gs I ripped two albums to MP3 and loaded them onto the 16GB card, GTab finds them with no problem.
I have tried WinAmp, Zimly and the basic stock music player. Currently running TNT Lite 4.2.5.
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks
DH
Have you tried poweramp?
You change from library to file
Two day trial but i bought it sooner

I havent tried that but I suspect depending on how much music you have, that the scanner isn't finding the music or isn't done scanning when you attempt to play it. The scanning process seems to be universal somehow and most players depend on it. Maybe it builds a temporary database of some sort? No clue - devs would maybe know that.
I use several apps, Doubletwist, Mixzing and Winamp in addition to the Music player and of them all, only Doubletwist seems to work independently of the scanner and always sees and plays the music. There are times when the others will see but can't play anything.
Also, it's not so great a device for playing music long term as after a while for some reason you get some "time jumps" in music. Thats how I refer to it because it's definitely not skipping. It will jump to the previous song, then back to the one currently playing, then to the next, then all the way back to the one it started time jumping on. It does this usually when I suspect there's some clocking down going on inside. Never when I just start the music or soon after....generally hours later.
Good Luck.
Do you have a .nomedia file somewhere in the root of your 16gb card or in your music directory? It might be causing the gtab to skip the scan of your card. Not having the .nomedia file though will erase any videos on your card so i would suggest placing the .nomedia file in your video directory but keep it out of your music folder.
I was hoping to do something similar and use the gtab as a car music player and have a 500 GB portable drive plugged in to it to give me something similar to the Archos 5 internet tablet for music playback but I can't seem to find a good way to do this
I have never had good results with wma files. I suggest converting them to mp3. Mixing, stock, cubed, they always played them weird and had missing tags and data when viewed. Convert to native mp3 support and save yourself tons at hassle.
Oh and +1 for power amp. The full mixing board and pre amp along with the ability to save settings and apply settings to specific songs and albums is mind blowing. The album art downloader is sweet too. Realy hard to go back to any other player. They had my money within 2days of the trial period.

More on music
Thanks for the lead on PowerAmp, nice app and found the music right away. Interestingly, after adding nearly 8 gigs of music to the card, the libaray found all of the tracks.

BINGO!
Thank you.
Putting the .nomedia folder into a folder called Video cured my scan issues on the 16gb SD card.
I never had a problem with either of the VEGANtab versions, when I reverted back to Stock 4349 I had trouble.
I have tried asian GB firmwares for my SGA, namely DDKQ5 and XKPB, but the stock music player show mp3 tags for most (not all) of my chinese and jap songs as funny symbols. I tried using a different media player, such as Double Twist, but same result. The tags look ok when i open the sd card on the computer. When I tried XXKPH, all the tags showed up correctly as well. Froyo was fine with the tags, so i downgraded back to DDKC1. Anyone else having this problem with DDKQ5 or XKPB?
yes, that is framework problem. i never had this when i was using Froyo or VillainROM..
now CM7 fixes that
Wow that's a custom firmware right? I've looked around and it seems that custom firmwares do boost the speed of the device by a lot. But currently there's no custom firmware that's based on asian stock ace firmware right? Also I found out that the swype keyboard is not available in CM7? Sorry but I am new to custom firmwares....
I flashed my ace using the coderomv2b and used the ext4 app to format the sd. Performance is much better, but I'm having issues with the media player.
1. Some of the unicode mp3 tags are still incorrectly displayed in the stock player. I tried double twist but it was worse.
2. After I long press the menu key and type into the search box, nothing comes up in the stock media player.
3. The player seems to be skipping during playback.
Anyone else having these issues??

I was having problem with some .m4a songs, they keep their tag information in xml-format which is different from mp3 (which uses ID3). iPod and iphones doesnt have this problem since m4a are made by apple
m4a(Apple Lossless Audio Codec) are made for apple's product which is why they doesnt co-operate that well with android.
Solution:
Convert them to MP3. The only converter that i used who kept the tags was Switch Audio File Converter. You might use some other converter as well.
My songs are all in mp3 format, and are tagged using mediamonkey.
Thanks for your replies, but I flashed the blackhawk custom rom just to try it out and amazingly, the song information appears correctly, and I am able to perform search function in the media player. Haven't test the skipping part yet...
Btw anyone using the black hawk rom as well? I only managed to get quadrant scores of around 1000; I managed to get 1500 while on coderomv2b. I applied the crs check ram script...any ideas?
Edit: I forgot to enable the Media stagefright....my bad. :S Now I'm getting 1500+ as well on this rom.
Well even if your quadrant score is low it shouldnt matter as long as your phone is running in a good speed.
When you import your songs via mediamonkey, doesnt all your songs get transfered to the rootfolder? That happend to me which is why im not using it.
