So today I noticed something very odd about my music. It seems that on both the stock music player and on PowerAMP when an album has more than 1 disc, it doesnt recognize that there's more than one disc. I've got all my music tagged correctly in iTunes...but when I import it to my phone, I get track listings that go 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3, etc etc etc(an example of an album that has 3 discs). Anyone know why this is? Or how to fix it without having to go and redo ALL of my music in iTunes so it doesnt do albums with multiple discs as such.

I hadn't noticed that, but mine does it too. What a fail.
Yeah, a pretty big fail in my opinion.
I haven't noticed this but I always tag my multi-disc albums by adding "Disc 1", "Disc 2", etc after the album name.
Not sure if this would make a difference but try Winamp and some other music players. Maybe another music player will resolve the issue without requiring manual renaming of the album tags.

I've tried the stock android music player, PowerAMP, and Winamp... all with no luck.

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.
I have some mp3 podcasts that have "blips" in the middle of the files. It plays fine on VLC on my computer, it just skips over the corrupt part. However, when the media player on my Android 2.2 phone (HTC vision) plays one of these mp3s, it stops playing instead. It just abruptly starts the next mp3 in the playlist. I've tried several mp3 players including meplayer and mixzing and they all do the same thing. I searched the Android market for VLC but found some ripoff called "VLC Direct" instead (looks just like VLC but won't actually play any files unless you pay).
Anyone know an mp3 player that will play over bumps in a file instead of stopping?
Try Google music... flac works on Google music, I think it will work too..

Is Google Music the software name? I can't find anything like that on the market.
Any other mp3 players?

Yeah, thanks but no thanks.
Does anyone know of a audiobook player that will remember where you last stopped playing? I'm currently using Beyondpod, but it always skips back to a completely different point when I return to an audiobook that I was previously listening to.
Thanks for Beyondpod tip. Had no idea it plays local files too. Just tried it and it temembers last position for me. Even if i go to other audiobook.
I use AudioBook Player 2. Very spartan, but doea the job perfectly.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for 3 apps.. one in particular..but 3 in general..
- for download music, I need one app that allows me to see the bitrate of the song before i'm gonna download it..
- for listen music, i already know about poweramp and n7player.. do i miss some other good programs? For me the most important thing is that the player must have the best sound quality and let me play entire folders.. in windows I was use to play music with mediamonkey..
- for organise music, the most important app i'm looking for.. I need an app that recognize something like "a% - t%" (artist - title) and automatically edit the id3 tags of multiple songs.. I mean, one app that just read the filename of the song and automatically tags the file.. in windows, with mediamonkey I was able to tag the id3 from filename and viceversa.. I already tried DroID3Tagger but the app freeze when I try to edit the id3..
Do you know the app(s) i'm looking for?
P.S. sorry for my english......

MixZing Media Player
I would look outside the play store for older versions because the newer versions have video ads

Is this player able to recognize the file name and edit the tag id3 of the songs?
Does someone know any app for editing id3 in batch?
