I'm not entirely sure if this is in the right section, since the Mp3 files work fine on Windows, I'm assuming it's an incompatibility with the phone.
Anyway, put all my music on my phone, noticed that some songs worked, and some didn't. I looked at the songs in Windows that did work, and didn't. I noticed a trend.
Songs that did work have album art, like this.

Songs that didn't work look like this,
The ones that don't work also don't have any information under the "Details" tab in the properties window.
I'm wondering how to get these MP3 files to be playable on my phone. I've tried Mixzing, and the stock player.
Thanks in advance,
Did you compare bit rates and sampling rates as well as what version of id3 tag is on hose files? Other than that not sure what else to look for.
The files that don't work don't have anything listed under the details tab. So I'm not sure of the bitrate, or the id3 tag.
Load them up in a player like WinAMP, where you can drill down and look at the detailed properties of each file. That should help you to find what the true differences are.
Alright, the ones that work are id3v2.4|id3v1, the ones that don't are id3v2.3|id3v1
Thanks for that recommendation of using an audio player.

Hmm, IF the root cause is really the ID3 tags, I'd suggest the following two next steps.
1. Try PowerAmp - that thing seems to play ANYTHING
2. Get Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html). Load your files/tag data and re-save them all with the same tag format.
When I open them in MP3tag, I notice the songs that don't work, have no bit rate, codec, frequency, or length listed. However, it shows them as having the same tag...
Not sure if this info helps any but I use MixZing Player (free one) to play MP3 w/album art. I have played all my songs on shuffle and have not found any that would not play.
I have not tried the stock player yet.

Does anyone know how to add album art to the Hero music player? I have most of my music tagged in WMP, however no pics are coming up whatsoever :-(
Not sure really but I do know there is a program in the market that adds album covers to music but I can't recall the name offhand.
Depends on how there tagged... try loading a mp3 in Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de) and see if the album art displays in that. And make shure that it's the only album art embedded in the mp3 file.
I've also found out that sometimes the music player fails to load the album art until you actually play the mp3 files (another bug?!? Never! ) Be warned however that loading loads of album art in the music player only makes it more memory hungry and slooooowwww....
I use aTunes (yeap, that's it - With an "a") to add album art, tags and lyrics to my songs.

The player works well for me, I think you only have to keep the album art under 600x600 pix and everything will be smooth.
Hmmm, this all seems too complicated. Found a *sweet* app though:
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.mylittlebigapps.android.albumartgrabber
Costs 99p, but well worth it!
There is a program that can add the art into the media file so it will show up on your hero http://www.mediamonkey.com/

You can use itunes to embed the album art or you can do this.
E.g.
First Folder: Music
Inside the music folder create more folders for the different albums
e.g. Music/GreatestHits/
then get a JPG picture from the internet for the album, rename it to "AlbumArt" and place it in that same folder, and that should do the trick.
Hope this helps,

I have read the blog on se-nse.net.I cant understand the language on the pic..
And anything new apart from this ?
As far as I can tell, no.
But as more info "leaks" Im sure you will find it on that blog
Before the equaliser I think the media player needs a way to set no-loop/loop 1/loop all as any other media player in the world!
Gapless playback would be nice too.

Im sure that is a memory card issue, rather than an android one.
Memory cards being used for music in SE phones have always had a small "silence" whilst loading between tracks (dating back to the W810, maybe even earlier)

The problem is not with the memory cards! They are just storage. It is up to the media player software to buffer properly so that the next file can be read before the previous song is over.
Besides,
- SE phones use microSD cards as most phones do nowadays
- I use Meridian media player on the MiniPro and gapless playback works fine.
I'm having a couple of problems with my music collection and I have not been able to find a fix for on google, here or precentral.
The first problem is that album art is not displaying correctly anywhere. The art shows up in my pictures and looks fine. In the native media player 1/2 the albums are black and 1/2 display a question mark. In AudiophileHD a few display the right art, 1/2 of them display a picture that appear to be corrupted, some display question marks and some show a picture of a record. I attached an example at the bottom.
The second problem is that when I add music to audiophile by selecting "play all" it plays the songs in alphabetical order. They show up in the correct order on the album, but unless I add each song individually they play in alphabetical order.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Audiophile. I've also deleted and reloaded my music without any change. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks a bunch!

Anyone?
Sorry, I don't check XDA regularly (you just got lucky today). I am updating the metadata parser in Audiophile to better detect embedded image art. Hopefully by next week if should be in the developer build. New version will also have lag free scrolling and a bunch of other features. Thanks for the patience, and please post over at PreCentral in the future if you want a response.
When I am using the Prime, it seems I can only use 1 window at a time.
Example: if I stream from Youtube, and want to check "WiFi analyzer or Speedtest", the stream is interrupted.
Is there a way that the tablet can allow me to have several task running, like in the above example or similar?
Well for that example you listed you can get an app called stickit. It allows you to watch your videos or streams while doing whatever else you want. Its just like a PC when you bring up a movie screen then you can resize it and move it all over tthe screen. For example I can be browsing the web while watching the video in the little screen. You can make screen as big or small as you want. It plays continuously and doesn't stop no matter what you doing. The screen follows you wherever you go until you close it.
Here is screenshot example I just took. Love this app.

Anyway, yeah, there's no stock way to do what you want. Demandarin, that's a great app! I just don't understand why ICS doesn't have such things built in, you'd think they'd be trying to push true multi-tasking at the user's discretion.
Seems to me that Google's just not trying to replace PC's like I'd like them to. I love messing around with my x86 Honeycomb (beats the hell out of Windows 8).

Wow! Thanks for the tip. I thought I was going to have to wait for Cornerstone for something like this. Does Stickit work with any stream app or site?
I'm on my new 'Note' the S23 Ultra and have watched all the 'do this first' type YouTube settings videos etc., but I have a video issue.
On my laptop I use Windows Movie Maker, basic but easy for quick editing clips, and for more pro stuff I use DaVinci Resolve, however neither program will open my most recent videos?
I've tried different settings with the same result and have attached a photo of the details of a file that does open and one that doesn't, but I'm not sure what it's telling me? They all play fine in VLC Media Player.
I'm far from an expert at all this, and at 72 this year maybe it's just all getting beyond me, but any suggestions or help appreciated.
The one that works is from my S22 Ultra, the other the S23!!
Many thanks.

I always save in mp4, don't think that bit has changed?

They are all MP4 so shouldn't be an issue, but after further research and going through every setting both the Hi-Bit rate (whatever that it) and the High Efficiency setting were on.
Not sure what either are but hopefully that'll be the answer.
Now I just need a way to convert them back to normal settings or I'll lose several good wildlife videos

Yeah based on the file size it looks like the file type.
