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.
i started to import mp3 yesterday from my computer to the tab, ok, quite a few, about 3.5 giga. anyway, the music app recognized quite some songs first, but then when i second time opened it, it said nothing was there, although clearly large number of mp3 are in the musoc folder, in a hirachey structure. then i suspected that it would not recognize any mp3 unless it is directly under music folder, so i eelevated two of them to be directly under music folder, then they showed up in the music app.
is there such a limitation?
I'm also having this problem where none of my songs are showing up in the Music App from Google.
Does it work with sub-folders within a folder labeled "Music"? And for the record, I do not share this problem which is why I'm asking.
im still experiencing this problem. Anyone know why this is happening?
When I first added a couple artists to my phone, the music squares started an update checking my few files to associate to each cube. I hit cancel during the update, because I planned on adding (a whole lot more music).
Well, now I have all of my music on my phone and none of the squares work. They all say no files associated. I can hit the menu key and choose refresh library, but that doesn't update the music squares. Anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: I even cleared the cache and it did another update still no files found..
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 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
Hi all, I'm running a Huwawei P smart, and got fed up with the default player, so started using Musicolet (after trying several). I like the feature of being able to select a folder and play everything in that, rather than just an album, or artist, or playlist, or all music.
However the default action of the phone was to load the use the inbuilt player, even after I set my chosen one to be default. After locating a thread on here, I stopped the storage access for the default player, which is great. It no longer loads.
But I do not seem to be able to get musicolet to auto load and play when I press my headset play button. Once loaded all works fine, but if i pause music, after a few minutes my player unloads itself.
As I ride a motorbike, it's a pain to have to remove glove, unzip, get the phone out, load the player, the put everything back, all because I say stopped for fuel and paused the player.
Any idea's how to get a new player to auto load?
Thanks.
