Hi everyone. I've been switching around roms a lot lately, and with my most recent changes, I've been having problems with my music player not showing all of my music. Everything I have in my library is in MP3 format and located in the Music folder of my SD Card. The catch is that it only seems to be happening with CM6.1 roms (I've run Kaos.Froyo and Nonsensikal so far).
I've researched and haven't found a suitable answer as to why this is going on. Can anyone possibly lead me to one?
Thanks.
I can see all of my Music, but since the RC of CM, no music player I try will read the ID3 tags anymore. It's got to be a CM problem, as this is not an issue on non-CM ROMs.

I didn't have a problem until this latest batch of 6.1-based roms. However, I did notice that some of my artists were not recognized in the 6 roms that were recognized in all of the various Sense roms I have run (I haven't tested this with any 2.1 roms other than Sense ones; I just like Sense). In the latest case, it just seems to ignore that the files are even there.
Anyone have a solution?
Are 6.1 roms based on 2.2.1? Because 2.2.1 has a few issues with it and apps like keyboards and music players. Hopefully an update comes out for those apps to fix compatibility.

I was just running version 35-1 of Kaos Froyo, which I assumed was not based on 2.2.1 seeing as his latest release has that in the changelog (I am flashing that now).
I've always deleted the music app and use ^3 (cubed) instead.

Like I said, it happened with all music players, not just the default one. It's like something in the OS is preventing music apps from reading ID tags right.

I've been using the stock app, doubletwist and meridian and never had this issue with CELB Froyo.

So I just flashed CELB to see if that made a difference. It found all of my music, but it's reading next to none of my ID3 tags and most of it comes up with an unknown artist. Freakin' weird.

I get exactly the same problem, on both Froyd for the HTC Hero and Floyo. It isn't a problem on 2.1 based ROMS.
I know there is a bug in the core Android system that affected WMA files, but it seems this bug is more ellusive and doesn't affect everyone. If anyone knows a fix.....
Well, a kind of a survey, anyway. I'd like to know what are your favourite apps in any category! I'll collect the stuff you write and put it in the 1st post, to make it easy for new users (like me) to find out what the greatest apps are! Please, when you mention an app, do mention the reasons you like it, too, and maybe even a link to it (keep it legal)!
Okay, so, I'll suggest some categories to begin with.
What is the audio/music player of your choice? The stock one can't be the best one, it doesn't even have an equalizer.
What is the video player of your choice? I've noticed that the stock one is quite lousy, as it barely plays the videos recorded on phone without lag. I'd like to watch TV shows on my MB526 (since I commute every day, so I hate wasting 45mins on the bus doing nothing) and I'd like that to be a joyful activity.
What is the navigation app of your choice? NDrive? iGo? Standard Google Maps? Which one has the best maps for your area and which one gives your location most precisely?
What is the most interesting app you've come across? Candle? Lighter? There's gotta be something more interesting than this?
What is the app you use most frequently on your defy(+)?
Can you think of any more categories? And apps that fall into them? Post, post, post!
*When I say stock I mean my MotoBlur Android 2.3.4. system (I am intending to load something else soon...)*

Well I do use the stock one (blurmusic from atrix) and I don't feel the need of using another one. I has nice interface, acceptable widget and lockscreen controls.. It has some equalizer (media audio effects), and it can be used with some 3d party equalizer app like "Equalizer" app
Using the stock one or MoboPlayer. Didn't notice any problem with MoboPlayer so don't need to search for another one, but I heard that the Mobo Video Player is a good one.
I don't use much navigation, but when I need some guide I use google, but it's navigation is a little bit buggy when it comes to calculate the route.
Hmm, don't know, when I first hear about Widgetlocker it was wery interesting for long time, same was with MiLocker..transparent screen is interesting app..no use to me but it's interesting, it's cool
Hmm.. Zumocast, Viber, Music Player, TuneIn radio, Tapatalk...there are much more..oh yes zedge

On my firmware, stock music player = CMP (Connected Music Player). It's not really bad, but it can be a lot better. Which ROM does have the BlurMusic player from Atrix?
Thanks for the reply, neighbor
Cheers!
I use PlayerPro for music, BSplayer for video, sygic for navigation (also precache on brut maps - even better)
Most interesting app is GTA3 ofc.
I most use : Timetable, BW, Golauncher, Palmary Weather Pro, Dolphin HD and Root Explorer.

How playable is GTA3 now? I kinda don't want to play it without music (radio), cause that's what's the GTA series was all about for me... Driving around and listening to the radio stations My favourite is Vice City, it had the best stations! Enough of the off topic now
Can you tell me why do you prefer Dolphin HD over other browsers? I am gonna test it anyway, but wanted to know your opinion.
Sygic does look nice... Can you tell me more about Brut Maps, too? I've never heard of that before, but I see that it's some kind of a mod of Google Maps?
Best video players :
1st is Vital player, 2nd mvideo player
Best music player :
Google music player is awesome..
Best launcher :
Go launcher (go sms, go contacts), and ofcourse SPB may be the best.

I didn't like the CMP either, the MS2Ginger rom has the Atrix player, it has it somewhere attached.

Brut maps is mod for Google Maps that enables navigation in rest of the world (it was just for USA until brut came out)
Gta3 is playable only if you use Gta settings launcher and low everything. (also on xda like brut maps)
Vice city map could probably be available for gta 3 cause gta 3 for android is the same version as PC version.
I prefer Dolphin and Opera cause they have some addons to turn on flash content if you're on 3g...also they have many excellent addons.
All of that is available on this forum
music player: TTpod
Video player: Mx Video Player
Navigation: just Google Maps
most interesting app: I just love Dropbox
TTpod seems interesting, I've checked it out on the market! Will test it one of the next days..!
Okay, I've done some testing already and would like to share my opinion. It's about launchers.
SPB Shell 3D - I don't like it. It's quite boring and not practical. It's slower than others, too. Yeah, the 3D switching of home screens is very nice but there's nothing more to this launcher.
GoLauncher EX - This one's great! I love how everything can be configured and set up the way one prefers! A lot of effects makes it VERY interesting. What I really hate about is that it comes with 3 or 4 more apps! I HATE that! I don't want GO Shop or any GO Widget... Is there a clean install of this launcher awailable?
ADW Launcher EX - I think it's the fastest one, or at least it seems so on my stock 2.3.4 (defy+)! It's simple and effective, that's why I like. The problem is I couldnt find settings/options!! Can this one be configured at all?

I did so, but the thought that they are there and that they are occupying my phone's resources for no good reason bothers me a lot! That's why I deleted GoLauncher and am now back to stock (BlurHome?) Will test more of them, though!

Has anyone tested this app? It looks quite promising but i am experiencing quilte a lot of crashing, for example when trying to access some options, or just for listening too long to music, etc...
Also has any customized version showed up?

Wrong !!! Section man post it in Q/A topic not here.
cm9 music worked nice for me in 4.0.3 . but when i heard the music for a long time it became unresponsive. else, a great music app with DSP manager!
this is much better, got it on a forum when im porting ICS on my HP touchpad. (sorry forgot the site where. lol)
just push it to system/app (change permissions)
Hello,
Please help me to find the music player I'm looking for. My requirements:
- A clean playlist (no artists, no genres, no album arts, no ratings, no lyrics, JUST FILENAME)
- An equalizer
- To be controlled by the handsfree button (play/pause and next track by double-click. More clicks - highly appreciated)
The closest to this idea of mine, which I was able to find, is tiny player. I liked it a LOT, but it doesn't have any equalizer...
And I have tried so many other players and they are TERRIBLE, especially starting with winamp, which I like so much for
PC!!! The Android's version is absolutely not acceptable for me!

Hello and thanks for your answers. But all of them are connected to Cyanogenmod.
I would like to install it, I even checked their page. BUT I'm afraid that I could screw

Hello and thank you!
I gave it a try today and it doesn't work at all :-/ It didn't show me even a single folder !!!
I see the message select a folder or whatever on the top and everything below is black!!
I'm gonna send an e-mail to the developers to report this bug.
Trying to download this, I found another player - EZ folder player free. It works very
nicely with my headset button, but it doesn't show the playlist and doesn't have an
equalizer...
Actually it makes me VERY SAD and VERY DESPERATE - WHY all the music players
need to have a huge icon showing NOTHING in the center and wasting the whole screen ?!?!?!?!
WHY there can't be a program, showing the playlist, as Winamp on a PC and 3 buttons
for play/pause, next and previous song? IS IT SO COMPLICATED ?!?!? And an
equalizer, of course!! Come on, guys, this is Winamp from 1993 !!! And in 2012, this
doesn't exist anymore !!!
My device is Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS (4.0.3).
OK, regarding Music Folder Player - I can not see folders only with the paid version of this app.
I have also tried to install the free version and it works. I have also installed Music Volume EQ:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hr.podlanica&feature=search_result
This is a MUST have app!! It has an extremely nice bass boost function and now listening to
music is a really nice experience on my SGS2.
So, back to Music Folder Player - this is the player, which I will be using for now. It is by far
not perfect, but it seems to be quite working. Major disadvantages:
- it plays folders only at one level - if you have a folder that contains mp3 files and subfolders
with more mp3 files, it will play only the lower level folder. If you select some of the subfolders,
it will play only the subfolders, but never the parent folder. REALLY annoying, but not fatal
- It writes media information files to EVERY directory with music
- The equalizer does not change almost anything and it is practically useless. But this can be
solved via Music Volume EQ, so it is a really minor problem.
But it is a very customizable player and I like it a lot! Nevertheless, I am more and more
convinced, that the perfect mp3 player for Android does not exist yet
Although, there a some players in the style I like - Music folder player, EZ music folder
player, tiny player, etc... There must be also more of them. Please suggest some...
Come on, guys!! No other cool apps? I can't believe it...
I am using kamma's folder player. It supports rom's native equalizer app. UI can improve a little but pretty much suffices what I need.

hi,
Try this one i am sure you would not search for anything else.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omichsoft.player
It supports Playlists,folders, genres, artists, albums and songs list.
Supports device internal equalizer.
shows itself on the Lockscreen.
and all this for an installation size of around 350 kb.
difficult to justify some (most) paid music players against this one.

I was using ogminilla's but it wouldnt let me answer calls... The only bug with that rom. Maybe try out solid senless Rom.
For the DSP manager:
DO NOT enable bass enhancer or it will distort the music through your stereo. You could try it, but it usually only works on headphones.
Then for the equalizer setting:
Set the first column to 8, the second column to 8 1/2, the 3rd column to 3, the 4th at 0, the 5th at 1 1/2, and the 6th at 3.
Be sure to enable loudness compensation to strongest.
Leave the other settings unchecked
Hope this helps!

Or does anyone still have the last titan hd odexed v2 rom? Can't believe I erased it, figured its so old it would be obsolete. Had great sound and great camera and stable. Any old titan users out there?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Cool ICS for CDMA & GSM. The current version has full working beats, including the notifications and system settings, and the Sony xloud mod all baked in. I have the same mods with MeanROM ICS 2.6 using this installation procedure and the sound is great.

It just sounded so good, right out of the box. I would just pull up anywhere, put on pandora, and have an instant block party.
I installed cool rom and it sounds very loud but just not as good/full. I havent been able to find any settings to tweak, i guess i have to download the dsp manager.
As for the link above, the only thing on that ftp is something called olympus trinity gamer. Not sure what this is and can't find any info on it. Might try flashing it just to see how it sounds right off the bat.

Some people have commented that the audio from the ICS ROM's even with all the mods installed is not as good as it was on the GB ROM's.
I flashed the Titan ROM out of curiosity and it seems to have the sound mods you are looking for, but is mostly stock except for the games. Apparently the dev was kicked off of XDA for some drama he created, and if you check the comments from the installation script you will see his comment on XDA.
The original thread for the ROM is still on XDA, but the download link is broken.

Yes I just flashed that gamer one and it sounds fantastic. I flashed right after the cool ics and there is no comparison. Maybe its because im testing on pandora (I have the premium version which has better sound) and not the music player, maybe because its not ics idk.
I read about the drama and people saying he wasnt a developer but more of a 'remixer'. Whatever he was he made that **** sound sick so you gota give him credit for that at least.
Maybe other developers can adopt what he did for sound cuz i do like other features of ics. But like you said maybe its just that gb sounds better than ics and its just that simple. dunno, Im gona stick with this one for now because im really into music.

The beats mods aren't going to help Pandora at all. You need to use DSP Manager, MusicFX, Volume+ or something similar with that app, and people have had mixed results with those equalizers on ICS. If the Titan ROM has DSP Manager built-in that's probably making the difference for Pandora.
I'm glad you found what you were looking for and are happy with it, even if it is GB.

Some people have commented that the audio from the ICS ROM's even with all the mods installed is not as good as it was on the GB ROM's.
I flashed the Titan ROM out of curiosity and it seems to have the sound mods you are looking for, but is mostly stock except for the games. Apparently the dev was kicked off of XDA for some drama he created, and if you check the comments from the installation script you will see his comment on XDA.
The original thread for the ROM is still on XDA, but the download link is broken.

Yea, I don't see anything wrong with GB. I didnt see a DSP manager there but there is something called Audio FX Settings.
BTW, is there anything I can use to uninstall all those games?

I was using ogminilla's but it wouldnt let me answer calls... The only bug with that rom. Maybe try out solid senless Rom.
For the DSP manager:
DO NOT enable bass enhancer or it will distort the music through your stereo. You could try it, but it usually only works on headphones.
Then for the equalizer setting:
Set the first column to 8, the second column to 8 1/2, the 3rd column to 3, the 4th at 0, the 5th at 1 1/2, and the 6th at 3.
Be sure to enable loudness compensation to strongest.
Leave the other settings unchecked
Hope this helps!

Ive been messing with this on cool ics and it doesnt sound bad at all. Where I messed up was not going to settings - beats audio - and enabling those.
I still think its not quite as good as the titan roms but its pretty damn close!

AudioFX is another equalizer similar to DSP Manager and Volume+. It works pretty well with Google Play Music but I haven't tried it with Pandora.
You should be able to uninstall the games you don't want with Titanium Backup, even if they are installed as systems apps.

I'm getting the same results with the cooolexe v3 music mod and the Sony xloud mod installed on MeanROM ICS, but they are not baked in like Cool ICS.
