Hey guys!
I'm facing some problems with the official Speria S Walkman player. Every time i put some new music from my PC to the phone, the app never shows the new music, and if i delete some tracks, the app will still show the tracks i've already deleted from the device.
Someone know what can i do in this case?
Go to setting > app > all > media storage .. and then clear data
try this, it works on my LWW

Well, youre right... it take so long to load all of the musics on the list after deleting media transfer data but at least it works..
Hope someone can find another way that more easier and faster.

Hey everybody, having some trouble with my PowerAMP fairly regularly. It starts up and plays music fine, but after a while it always comes through with this error (Too many failed files, playing will stop now.) If I reboot and go back into PowerAMP, it all works fine again. This keeps happening though. I guess I'll try uninstalling it and loading again to see if that fixes it. Was wondering if anyone more software savvy had some other ideas. Maybe something is jacked up with the sd card? But if this was the case wouldn't i run into a similar problem when flipping through pictures and videos?
I"m not sure if Fixing Permisions would help but it could just be an SD card issue or it is running into files that are in the playlist but aren't on the SD Card anymore?
Shouldn't be running into any of those given it forms the available songs by scanning the card. Seems to be something with the sd card. I'll try permissions, I haven't done that in a while anyway (if it aint broke don't fix it! lol) The reload didn't work. I know the songs are there as it gives the name of a file that is supposedly failed, but after the reboot it plays fine. Kind of strange.
Was going to be adding some music, maybe I'll try wiping all the files I have on there and just reload em through my pc.
Let me know if permissions works.. other then that I can't think of anything that would cause the issue.
Alright, went through and wiped out the music folder then reloaded a bunch of songs. Still having the same problem. Fixed permissions too. Seems pretty damn weird to me, anyone else having similar problems?
Tried uninstalling and reloading again and that seams to have fixed things...I'll let you guys know after a day or two of usage. Weird.
Hey im having the same issue i have my music on the internal sd card all the files are wma the app will play like 5-10 songs then says too many failed songs. Then going to look at what folders it is looking at it says that could not find sd card. if i restart the app it'll install native libraries then scan then able to play 5-10 songs again....wierd
Try going to SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS>MANAGE APPLICATIONS> then go to the "all" TAB. Scroll down and clear both the MEDIASYNC and MEDIASTORAGE. The problem is due to a double sync where there are empy place holders for songs thus looking like "failed files" reload poweramp and it will scan music folder again and wallah... Fixed!
Like I said before, I just uninstalled, made sure everything was deleted, then redownloaded the app from the market and all is well. Haven't had any problems since.

I tried that and still did the same thing and by the way though the stock music player plays all the songs with no problems
Same for me... Since I have been using the current ROM (FLB_R9), PowerAMP can not play a single file, while the stock player is really happy with any of them!
Go to SETTINGS/Applications/Manage Applications/PowerAMP
Under Storage press "Clear data"..
Rescan music folder again.
Worked for me
Had the same problem. Even though I loved Poweramp, I switched to Mixzing. I even had the paid Poweramp. Haven't had any issues with Mixzing. It has an E Q just like Poweramp,and it plays folders too. Got tired of Poweramp and its foibles. Very happy with free version of Mixzing.

Should point out clearing MEDIASTORAGE will seemingly delete all your ringtones! However a reboot of the phone will restore those ringtones again.
Just a heads up.
This might be the answer

This condition just started on my Galaxy S3 after using PowerAmp for months. I looked for the both the suggested sync files on the S3 but found nothing. No other stock music player on the S3 will play the music either. Your thoughts please.

Hi.
I have the same problem.
Someone could solved it?
Thanks and sorry for my english!
I've been having this issue as well, running all my music from my SDcard, will try a few things and report back. I'm using poweramp because the stock player doesn't seem to work with my card, says songs are unplayable, doesn't show all my music etc. I just tried disabling system media scanner/MTP in advanced folder library options and I'll report back.
My solution
I found this problem after disabling APOLLO in my MAKO ROM PACMAN
As soon as i enabled it, POWERAMP started working. Check if such coincidence works for u too
guys here is how I fix mine : FIX PERMISSION
if still not working try uninstall and install again.
I am using [ROM] MiniCM7-2.1.7
Has everyone has anyone been able to use full songs as notification tones ??? i.e for messages, email, alarms e.t.c
I know you can set a song as ringtone but i have been unable to use it for any other notification.
Thanks a lot for any helpful comment on this thread.

It was good.
Thanks for that but i wanted to use my phones full music.I found a way to do it- I created a folder on my sd card in the following order sd/media/audi/notifications and copied/moved the music to the notifications folder and now when i go to sound settings i can choose them from there.
I think that's a good enough solution for now.
wow...thts great..
i think it searches all folders with name "notifications"...
then it probably works for "ringtones" too...
thanks for sharing your method...

It does something similar to that but there is an even better app i found in the market called rings extended.It's not an app but just edits itself into the system and prompts you to use it instead of the android ringer system.
Now i can select any music from anywhere on my sd card-(it shows you all the mp3 files from your sd card and you just pick your tone.AM NOW SORTED WITH THIS ISSUE SO FAR.

You can download Ringdroid and do it . I edit my songs on my computer for my ringtones and use root explorer to use them as ringtones. Have to be rooted for Root explorer though but RingDroid will edit your songs for ringtones.
Thanks
Thanks alnova1 but i haven't rooted just yet, got my phone yesterday so I'm waiting to see if everythings ok before my 30 day window closes.. On my old Droid X all you had to do was long press on the song and it gave you the option of using it as a ringtone.. Why Samsung Why!! LOL

You don't have to be rooted for Ringdroid...its free and it will edit the songs that are on your phone and let you assign them as ringtones or notifications. Root Explorer you have to be rooted but I just use it because I like doing my editing from my computer.
Thanks again
Thanks downloading right now, thought Ringdroid only worked with root

No problem...goodluck
i guess its assumed you want to make ringtones? (from the replies)
otherwise, if you already have songs from CDs, just place them on your SD card just about anywhere
on a stock Note....
Play the song you want to use as a ringtone with the Stock Music Player.
As the song is playing.... hit menu.. choose Use as aRingtone.
It then adds it to your ringtone list..
good luck
I keep trying to use the external sd, but it isn't picking up the ringtones. It reads the notifications (but not same as ringtones). If I put the tones on the internal sdcard, then "Android system" lists those tones fine.
So how do I make the media scanner "add" ringtones found on/mnt/sdcard/external_sd instead of just those found on /mnt/sdcard?
I see the media scanner running each time a make a change, but they still never show up as choices.
I could dump them into internal memory and bypass the sd's, but that defeats the benefit/purpose of having them on the SD.
Any ideas?
UPDATE: I realized I had a .nomedia file in my dir on the SD. That allows the media scanner to ignore that dir, if you have a reason to do so. (which I did and had totally forgotten about!) I removed the file and the media scanner properly sees my ringers in any dir I put them on external_sd now.
D'Oh!
ADD RINGTONE to a new " stock Std" AT&T NOTE ....how to
Hello everyone:
I was horrofied few days ago when i got my NEW SHINEY note...impressive machine! ... and one of first things I wanted to do was ADD all my Music and Videos from my older SAMSUNG INFUSE....even b 4 root & unlock
I proceeded to XDA forum and read and read ... and downloaded all things that I needed.
Loaded up my new 64GB ext card and rebooted , loaded up all the 32GB data from the OLDER CARD ,,,, and was shocked HORROR !! , couldnt figure out HOW TO make a song as Ringtone (was easy peezy in Infuse). Found this thread - ummm and tried , and tried , didnt work !!
Proceeded to ROOT & Unlock ( like one guy here suggested) ,,,,, and STILL DIDNT WORK !! ,,, couldnt make one of those mp3 /mp4 as ringtone...
SO I thought; ok take a break ... proceeded to ADD MY CONTACT(s)... nearly 800+ of these (lol dont ask) .... and CREATED a few FAV on the 'phone' part aand thought , ok lets try and ASSIGN some files to one of these FAV pple.
just so happens this LADY called (my first call on new new phone) yelling @ me ........been callin for 2 hrs , no answer - calls going to VM ,, who u F*** now ............LMAO!!!
So I tell her the MY STORY (frustration that I cannt but her B*tin sound againt her name , and now I think its working !!!! .... and could see her thru the wires I swear!!..lol...
So then I go check FILE MANAGER ,,,,,,,,,,, and WALAH !!!
I see a MEDIA folder , and than the AUDIO and Ringtones folders
SO in short ...
1) assign a "ringtone" from contacts to anyone > jsut browse and pick the EEXTERNAL CARD or INTERNAL CARD ( where you music is) and NOTE will do the rest
2) than you can USE FILE MANAGER ......... and move other files you have or any RINGTONES you have ( i found even the iphone ringtones where on NOTE)
and you sweet ( you dont have to be 'rooted and or unlocked" ) to make CUSTOM RINGTONES work.............. and dont even need Ringdriod etc etc
Hope this helps someone !!!
Hi everyone,
It looks like every music track I have shows up twice in music player. One of the two copies does not work (i.e., program says cannot read this kind of file). I first noticed this after I tried opening the track on 'Play Music' app.
Is there a reason AND a fix for this?
Many thanks!

Hi there
If your running Stock Rom
Then go into Settings - Application - Manage Application
Close out anything that is bloatware
Try to use Task Manager hit clean all applications to see if this fix the issue...
This Device shouldn't have any issues at all......
Did you put your music on your SD Card if you did make a folder on your main SD Card called "Music" put all your music in this folder.
Do you have extra tracks like duplicates?
Clear your caches then unmount your sd card then clear again then mount sd card then reboot. That's how I fixed mine

This maybe isn't useful to you, but I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm running CM10 FXP133 on my Xperia Ray. Wrote a post a bout it here.
So I guess we're both equally desperate. Anybody please help!
/Daniel
Not sure if this is any good (I don't have time to try it out right now), but I found this.
/Daniel
edit: Nope. Sorry. Didn't work. Crap.
Looks like its a problem with the latest nightly.. it was working fine last release...

I partially solved my problem. Something had put a .nomedia file in /sdcard, which quite naturally led to problems. I removed the file and did a new scan and now I got photos in the gallery again. Apollo is still empty though, so I'm kinda pulling my hair here. Done the obvious stuff (reboots, clearing cache, purging app data).
/Daniel
Ha! Found the rest of the solution. Seems the media scanner doesn't scan all folders anymore but just some (found out about it in this post). I moved some of my music to /sdcard/downloads, run a scan and suddenly it's there in Apollo.
Oh, and the .nomedia in sdcard root appeared again. No idea where it comes from, but it seems like a good idea to check for it and delete it once in a while. Strange things happen...
Oh. And sorry to the OP for hijacking this thread. I hope some of my mumbling is useful to you
/Daniel
I reflashed rom again,and now in gallery and apollo,media is showing.
Maybe it's a problem with Rom Manager,because that pushed .nomedia files in wrong folders.

Similar thing happened to me on CM9, Xperia mini. I deleted the .nomedia file and cleared the app data on music players and things are fine now.
My status on this one right now is that scanning mostly works. It refuses to scan some directories though. If I move all my music to /sdcard/music it's scanned, but in /sdcard/subsonic/music where it's always been before it's not. The only big problem with this is that for example /sdcard/ringtones is not scanned. So according to the system I no longer have any custom ringtones. This gotta be a bug, right?
/Daniel
Maybe you could try another music app like winamp. Because there you can do a manually media scan and as far as I know you can choose the folder where it should scan manually, too. Maybe give it a shot

at first i couldn't find my ringtones, put one in sd/ringtones and in the system/media/audio//ringtones
in doing all this i ran SDrescan and rescan media root multiple times.
now i've got two of the same showing up.
one thing the messed me up is that the ringtone filename is not used on the menu.
instead, the ringtone menu is pulling the metadata to tile it.
so I've got my filename 'ringtone.mp3' but it show up in the menu as 'song'

Ok. I also ended up putting my ringtones in /system/media/audio//ringtones which solves my problems. The media scanner still doesn't want to have anything with the ones in /sdcard/ringtones to do. Guess the media service will need some polishing before CM10 is released
