[Q] unreadable greek characters in music players - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Merry Christmas to everyone!!
I would like to ask if someone knows, how can i make my songs (.mp3) to have recognizable characters at every android media player. Let me make clear to you that non-english characters (greek letters) at my songs are nearly unreadable at players. Media players play such songs normally but i can not read their IDE tags (for example: individual artist's name, album's name, e.t.c....) Every android file explorer can identify their name, (so windows 7 do) but not the android players ( i have tested almost every media player available in market, now i am using miui player with the same problem). I have HTC magic with CM7.2 and the problem is with greek letters in songs which they appear to me as chinese ones and therefore i am not able to make playlists, choose a specific song from my list... How can i fix this??

Music player playing mp3 ringstone.

so annoying that music player put mp3 ringstone on playerlist and playing them with other mp3 songs. even though, I put mp3 ringstone in ringstone folder.
is there away to fix that?
Which Music player are you using ?
All mobile media player do the same thing. You shuold create a playlist for all your MP3songs (without your MP3 Ringtones) and save that play list. next time just simply play that play list. for WM Mobile when you cold start the app ( the app is not already running in the background of your system "check your task manager") there aren't songs on the playlist. From here your can create your playlist at this time, then play them.
Hope that cuold help you.
There's no real solution to this.
Some will suggest changing the properties of any music file you don't want to appear in the sense music player list to 'hidden', but that also means it wont be seen by other apps (I hid my ringtones and they no longer appeared in the list of chooseable ringtones when setting a ringtone).
The best solution I came up with was re-tagging my mp3 ringtones as artist 'ringtone' and album 'ringtone', so at least they were confined to one artist/album.
thanks for reply.
start doing playlist now.
how to hide your ringtones?

HTC Sense Music Player - Playlists Question

Hey mates,
i'm wondering if its possible to make a playlist with the tracks in one folder and not sorted by album, artist, or so.
i have many albums which havent got id3-tags, so they're all in the category "unknown". but on my SD, theyre sorted in folders..
so is this possible?
hope you understand what i mean.
thanks in advance,

Move all the music to your pc, delete all the folders on the HD2 that have music in except the music file on the sd card, empty that file, copy all the music tracks into that file (not the folders) simplez
thanks for your reply.
but isnt there an easier way? just like sort it in the folders they are in the player?..

i found out, that a playlist created with WMP on my hd2 is also shown in sense player.
in wmp pocket its possible to create playlists by folders. so you can create in wmp the playlist with the songs in one folder and you'll have it in sense player

Still, one must admit iPod is much easier to use
I was an "apple hater" for many years, but after using my sisters Nano, Sense player just does not measure up for me
Maybe someone knows of an application that emulates iPod in WM6.5?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And for those of us that used to have iPods and, therefore, have a large collection of music encoded in the smaller-per-bit rate AAC format used by default in iTunes, Sense can't even sort our music into track order. So annoying. HTC's music player in Android doesn't have this problem for some reason...
Anyhooooooo, I can't help you with better software for your HD2, but we can get iTunes to kinda work with the HD2 - try iTunes Agent. Works well with itunes. Oh, it's free too : ) http://ita.sourceforge.net/
Dependent upon how you set it up, your HD2 will appear as a single playlist on the left of the iTunes window. Anything you add or remove from the playlist will be changed on the HD2 next time you choose to synchronise. iTunes Agent will also add the files to your SD card in Artist/Album sub folders if you like. If you turn on the right browsing options in iTunes, you will see the three columns at the top of the music list, Genre, Artist, Album - this way it makes it really easy to browse what's 'on' your HD2 (much better than one long list).
iTunes Agent doesn't yet support exporting playlists to your device, so if you want to go a stage further and export other iTunes playlists to your phone....
1. just highlight the songs in the desired playlist in iTunes, say ' melt your face off rock anthems' and drag them to the HD2 playlist, then sync with iTunes Agent to get them onto you storage card.
2. Export the first playlist from iTunes (Melt your face off rock anthems) by right clicking on it, hitting export, then choosing .M3U as the file type.
3. Go to where you exported it and open it with notepad. Delete the first line "#EXTM3U", then use the Edit/Replace function in Notepad to correct the file path (e.g Find What: "C\:itunes music" Replace With: "Storage Card\MP3") to reflect where you store music on your phone. Save (as Unicode if I remember correctly).
4. Copy playlist to Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Playlists on your phone then soft reset. Once the phone finishes scanning your card after rebooting, the playlist should appear in Sense Player.
There are two things to watch out for when creating playlists on your phone this way. First is the poopy way iTunes cuts off (appends - my old english teacher would be so proud, not) long track or album names e.g "01 My funky monkey groove mix shubbla ding fong.m4a" will be abbreviated to "01 My funly monkey groove mix shu~.m4a". These entries have to be edited manually in the playlist as far as I can see. (!!!!) Second, you can't edit these playlists on the phone. When you reset the phone the changes are gone. No idea why.
I know this doesn't quite answer your question, but give it a go if you have iTunes on your PC. It has made transferring music to my HD2 so much easier. The only bummer is having to connect the phone in disc mode, which is hardly major.

[Q] Alphabetic playlist in music player?

Hello, guys!
How do you make an alphabetic playlist on your music player? Because the in build player of the Mini makes a complete mess from the files. No alphabetic order. I like to store all my music files in 1 single folder from where to play them. And I didn't have such problem with my previous SE java based phones.
Recently I read a topic on the net, to use Astro File manager to create a playlist, but there are a few files, that remain unordered every time. They go at the end of the playlist although their names have "a" or "b" or "c" at the beginning. So what player do you use, guys?
And one more question - is there any nice player, that has an equalizer and is able to do proper playlists?
Thanks for help in advance!

where is the music playlist file stored?

Anybody know the music playlist file stored?
It is very time consuming to rearrange the song order for more than 100 song. I want to see whether I can edit it by computer.
thanks
Why don't you just make an m3u file using iTunes/Songbird/WinAmp/WindowsMediaPlayer. I think the music player can read the file if you add that to your music folder.
Does M3U supported by Stock ROM
I tried to use MyPlaylist App to create a m3u. However, it seems the Samsung I9100 stock Music Player doesn't support m3u playlist format.
Any idea?
Then use MP3tag (google it, it's on a German site, but it's in English) on your pc to sort the tracks and add track-numbers to the ID3 tag. The music player will recognize them in this order.
All this hassle is why you should try a different music player

MP3 genre tags problem with Samsung Galaxy A10s

Hi everyone! My Samsung Galaxy A10s has the following problem with mp3's genre tags: when I edit the genre tag in a song sorting my library by genre, that entire genre changes to the name I edited in that specific song; but when I go to the "new" category, the other songs I didn't edit, kept the previous genre tag. To explain myself better, here's an example:
I wanna change the genre for the "X" song from "rock" to "electronic".
I do it, but the "Y" song also tagged as "rock" changes to "electronic" automatically (as with every other song tagged as "rock").
With my library sorted by genre, I go to "electronic" category.
I check the "Y" song tags, and it didn't change to "electronic", but kept the "rock" tag instead while is in the "electronic" category.
I usually edit the tags with PlayerPro, thinking the app was the problem. I tried to deleting the cache and data, and updating the app, but it didn't work. The only way it kinda works with PlayerPro is by updating the library through the app config every time I change the genre tag in any song.
I downloaded other mp3 player with tag editing, but it presented the same problem, so the real problem wasn't PlayerPro, but my phone. I tried to update the system software, but it didn't work also.
What can I do? Thanks in advance!
