[Q] How to change settings of that built-in music player?? - HTC Rezound

The built in music player that opens up in the center of the screen when you click a random music file.. I haven't the slightest idea what the name of that app is. It displays one of my personal images on the left side of the player. Does anyone know if this player has some sort of settings menu or if there is a way to change that image on the left? Thanks in advance. I appreciate it.

Hmm nobody knows this? lol

I'm pretty sure you're unable to change any settings via the "Music" that comes with the Rezound. It already has implemented the Beats Audio Equalizer that they think is best. If you want to adjust the settings to your own sound, you can always get winamp or poweramp.

Ok. Thanks man. What about that pic that it uses? It was using one of my random photos in my. Downloads folder. The photo never seems to change and really, id like to see something else besides that photo lol.. I know i can delete it.. But thats besides the point. Perhaps ill just look for another music app.

I ported a lot of music from my iTunes library to this phone, and used to have a lot of artist where I would just have one song, and so the album would be called Other. Noticed this phone hates that and that I had to go rename all those songs to a different album cause it would just start putting random pictures with random songs.

[Q] Sense Music Player Issue

Hello,
I am using my HD2 as my primary music device in the car. When using shuffle on a playlist; the music player go the next track but the music player will not move forward to display the next song. If I go to the home screen, and back to the music player it will catch up and be fine for a song or two but then go back to the same issue.
Another example would be in the main screen of the music player, the wrong song and album art will be displayed. If I go into Library/Now Playing, the correct album/track will be displayed. If I press Back, it will show the last song played.
Is anyone else having this issue? I have searched the threads but not finding anything to help remedy this frustrating problem. It seems to work for a bit, then I will have to get out of the music player and back into temporarily remedy the problem, just to have it do the same thing again.
Thanks!
Has anyone run into this issue?

Sort of...
I've noticed when using the built in sense player if I turn shuffle on while playing songs it will sometimes display the wrong album art until I go into library or exit and go back in.
My thought are that it has something to do with CHT.
Do you use CHT?
I am not sure what CHT is.
CHT = Cookie Home Tab
Never had this issue you stated.. hmm
Hello,
I have the same problem and at least one more...
Now, when I start playing a music it stops after 10 seconds ...
I'm not an expert but, like Faelok, I'm convinced that this is something coming from CHT... Never had this problem with the original configuration...
Now I'm ignoring the original Music Player and I'm using either S2P or Pocket Music.
The new S2P is freeware and it is more then Ok to use in the car.
Cheers

I am using the stock config and yet having this issue. My music plays flawlessly,it is just the visualization that its effected. I hate to keep taking my eyes off the road to hold this things hand and force it too update. All off my tags are correct, album art is all there for every album. I hope someone had a fix for this as its very annoying.
Thanks!
Thanks for your replies. I wonder if this is just the nature of the sense music player and no way to correct it. You would think that if it will refresh and catch up to the correct album art and track name if you get out of the player and come back in there would be a way remedy the behavior. I'm interested to see how many others are experiencing the same problem.

Are you controlling S2P over bluetooth or just your finger?
It looks like album view has been disabled in the recent version .80. My whole reason for this post it to try to get the album art to display properly. It looks like the dev for S2P is working hard on it and wish him the best
I'd still lilke to find a fix for the issue I posted but I am not coming up with anything.

Album artwork quality...

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I'm annoyed with my Ace's stock players album art quality. Why SGSII have so beautiful artwork, when SGA have this blurry mess? I know it's more powerful phone, but then why PlayerPro or PowerAmp, even CloudSkipper can read embedded artwork with no problems? It's annoying... I don't like other media players on the market, I tried like 15 of them... Maybe someone knows how to mod Stock player? This seems so simple, yet so difficult for me...
P.S. I also did my digging and found out it could be done not only by modifying Music player, but OS itself... but I don't understand a word there. I know basic stuff about modding, like changing a icon, I understand Root, CWM, filesystem.. etc... but i'm no hacker... It's here by the way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755844
P.S.S. All my artwork is like >500x500
Not sure how you define the quality of the artworks, but the ones on my ace look (at least in my opinion ) quite good. I'm using CM right now, what is your ROM?
And is your artwork embedded or is it a file in the music folder? I think the music-app can use both of them. I once had the problem that no cover was shown, so i took a look and saw that the embedded cover was empty, and thus the app didn't show anything. Maybe your problem is somehow related to the one i had.
Also you could upload a screenshot, maybe it helps people arround here diagnose your problem.
I'm using stock 2.3.6 XWKT7 build. Just because CF-Root is so awesome.
My artwork is embedded (I use Mp3tag and to get artworks - AlbumArt Downloader, where I download my high res images) and I also tried to copy them to music folder.
Screenshot is in the attachment (in zip because forums convert any images to jpg with quality loss). Maybe not the best example, but you can see that the colors are bit washed out and it's not as sharp as it should be.. I envy iPhone users. On the right there is PowerAmp reading directly from embedded *.jpg file. On the right Zimly player which uses "albumthumbs" folder found on sd card. Sorry for not providing with stock music player, but right now I have some "technical difficulties" with that. I'll do that later, but the thing is, it's the same for all players who use this way of providing album artwork, they use albumthumbs folder.
No-one? Please?

It's not difficult at all and the problem isn't the mp3 itself.. it's problem of software for creating album thumbnails in low quality, even if the embedded image is high quality...
Sry, but I cant see any problems with quality.
Well, but I see... it's very noticeable for me... you can't even compare it to iPhone...
I think yu must be using chainfire....disable it and den try

Chainfire disabled makes no difference. Well I guess I'll have to stick to PowerAMP.. but still.. if somebody knows something, help is appreciated... But thanks nevertheless.
Try factory resseting and use stock rom

Nope, it's all the same on all Roms.

Poweramp issue, please help!

Hi, thanks in advance for the help.
I recently copied a lot of music from my computer to my phone, and I use Poweramp to play it. Everything is fine except for an annoying problem which I will try to describe as best as I can:
Each song has a length obviously, however, when in Poweramp, this length is increased for every song, producing a sort of very long gap at the end of every song. For example, if my song is 3:20 of music, Poweramp will add 15 more secs of useless space at the end of it, making it 3:35. Should I click the progress bar right at the end of the song, it will do nothing but immediately change to the next track (for example, if I want to play the last 5 seconds, nothing will play but it will only play the next track).
Summary: Poweramp adds useless, not even playable space at the end of every track.
I have tried doing a full rescan, a rescan, changing track names, clearing data, clearing cache.. nothing.
Can you please help me?

I've had this problem before and I still have it now. It seems like poweramp doesn't like manually encoded mp3's. So did you encode some? Like used a youtube to mp3 converter etc? If you did then the problem will arise. If you are patient enough you can encode the mp3 files again using audacity and export them as a 320kbps ones or you could just buy the original music through itunes or somewhere that legally sells downloadable mp3's

damn, I actually bought the cds, then ripped to lossless and then converted using Audials prior to adding them to iTunes and then gave the cds away!
It makes me no more happy to know that you still have the problem. :/
What you recommend would take a long time indeed. I am certainly never using Audials again.

I don't know about Audials but yeah somehow Poweramp doesn't really like programs converting the mp3 files. And about Audacity I just accidentally found out about it and it works wonders after it exports the mp3 files and weirdly poweramp doesn't add those additional 15secs of playtime.

BUT you tend to lose even more quality when converting from lossy to lossy AFAIK... It would work as a temporary solution though. Thanks for the tip!
I had contacted their customer service and they knew NOTHING, they even asked me to send them a sample song just to tell me to do the Full Rescan. I would ask for a refund, but the app is so good at everything else!
Did you contact them?

i'm no music expert but yeah it would lose quality but the difference is unnoticeable imo. The app is really quite good and really stands out of all the music apps on the playstore. And nope i haven't contacted them about this issue as I've downloaded most of my music on itunes so no additional encodes were required.
If you don't add any more compression and change encoding - you wont lose quality. Its not the process that loses quality, its your settings

Good luck as well, it's got to be the best music player for me. Player pro does sound a tad better with the dsp packs but man, power amp looks great and works very well.

Nope the update didn't fix it.
I was checking and analyzing everything today and it does have to do with the encoding. I had mp3s that were shown on iTunes as 'MPEG Audio' and some others as 'MPEG Audio File'. The first ones had the problem when added to Poweramp, the other ones didn't.

And to me it seems like MaxMP (creator of the app) is ignoring the problem. Oh well... the app is superb however when it comes to problems like this the support is quite disappointing.

App to Manage Music On Android

Coming from iphone/itunes and want to know what is a good music managing app that I can use?
I really like the feature in itunes where it keeps your media organized in folders. I also like how you can delete the song in itunes, sync your phone and the song will be gone.
I really need these features in the music app I select.
Ideas?
Check out doubletwist.

Got everything setup on doubletwist and its working pretty well. It will completely remove songs that I dont want and this will also update on the device.
One thing I noticed it doesnt do is change the file when I change its song information. For example, Itunes builds folders based on artist/album and names the song. If you change any of the above info in itunes, it actually renames and moves the file into another folder under its artist.
This is one great feature in itunes and am wanting an android solution.
Ideas?

Any solution to this issue? Any Android music players that will keep the data files organized as well as itunes does it?

Music player could be better

I with the music app was better. I organize all my music by artist/cd so all the meta data is set up like that. This player does not do that. Any one of of another music player for Tizen? Or maybe tips on how I can make this better?
edit
well I see if I look at them under albums, it will keep the mp3s in order of the way I set them up so that might help some.
