Hi all,
My Galaxy S2 is not updating track information. It just shows up all songs as 'Unknown artist'. I can play all the music no problem. Anybody know how I can fix this?

Just a guess:
Do all of your mp3 files contain the proper ID3 tags?
If not, then you'll need another player which connects to the internet for searching the track information in a database.
If yes, then try to re-scan all media of your sd card. There is an app in Google play store to do the job for you ... called "media scanner" / "rescan media" or something like that.
Good luck !

Hey i have only just purchased my Galaxy10 tablet, i have put a few songs on it but it still says in the 'music player' that there are 0 songs. I am able to listen to these songs individually in 'my files' but i cannot open anything else up (e.g. i cant listen to music while working on polaris office).
Is there something im missing that will easily fix this? or is it a problem with all the galaxy tabs.
Thanks, Nic.
I mentioned thi in your other post, but make sure the music is placed in where the player looks for music. I had this issue with different players looking in different folders and not showing ones the other players would. There's another suggestion in the other post, but I forget what it was. something about clearing the cache in settings/apps/music player you're using. I think.

thanks for the reply, i have tried moving my files around, still no luck. I also read the other suggestion on my other post and i cleared the cache/data of the music player and still didnt make a difference. ill continue trying to fix it though, and hopefully will eventually get it .
Thanks Heaps for putting me that one step closer, Nic.
Post what music player you're using. That will help too.

im using the one that came with it, which is 'Music Player'. I also tried using 'Winamp' but still had no success, if you know of any better apps to use for this it would be greatly appreciated.
any one have any other suggestions on what i could do to fix this problem??
It would be helpful to know where the files are located and what format they are.
Also try moving your music to /sdcard/Music.
hey, umm all my music is in .mp3 format. and the music is in 'my files/music'.
would it make a difference if i used itunes to sync the music from my pc to the tablet? (at the moment i am using 'windows media player' which is up to date)
is your tab rooted? if so, try use root explorer, find the folder and make sure there is no .nomedia file in that folder.if so, delete it and try open music player back
Shouldn't matter, no. Move it to the folder I said and see what happens. Music player is probably looking for them to be in that folder.
ssss
hey, I had the same issue. the fix is simple, go to apps--> Music player and you'll find you music there. if you open the music player in the tray on the bottom of the tablet you wont find your music.
Anyone else having a problem with Google Music saying there is no offline music on the device? Using DBPowerAmp and is finding it just fine. Google Music just noot playing nice for me?
Solved...it seems to have solved it self after about a week of not finding it lol

Next time this happens, try resetting the Media Storage in the All Apps section of the Settings. This will force the device to rescan your sd cards to re-catalog your media... Yours was a bit slow to do this fuction I guess... ^_^
Is there any way to listen music in background while doing something else (read a document, surfing on net, etc.) ? More exactly i mean is there any setting(s) for this situation or another player to install from playstore that doesn't interrupts the music while doing another thing ?
The default music player have this problem and is somehow disturbing.
Thx in advance!!
the installed music player DOES NOT stop when you are doing something in the background !!
if you somehow open a song from your "my files" folder and go to a specific song and play it and try to do something else in background it will stop
if you play direclty the installed application - Music player - and open songs from there you won't have such problems.....
all players work the same way...
it doesn't take much to be a genius...

Hey guys,
just wondered, if theres any option to download the music out of google play music all access I put in a playlist. I mean wouldn't it be nice to hear it with some other player, so if connection struggles the music doesnt stop playing.
Yes offlinemode in mobile version is available, but can I extract them out of it, to do the same at my PC.
The App Cloudmusicimporter promises this much. But as I tried it, not one of my all access titles in the Playlists is shown and possible to download, just the ones I upped myself..

I've started using Google Play Music as my media player. But when I buy something and "keep it on device" I can't find where its downloaded too. I've searched all through my phone. Sometimes I use the HTC music player nut I can't access anything I've bought from the Play store until I download it to my computer and copy it to my phones music folder. It's pretty frustrating. Does anyone else have this problem? Or know another work around? Thanks in advance

GPM does keep the tracks on your device, but not is a format that can be accessed by other music players. It caches music in /data/data/com.google.android.music/file/music as mp3's with numeric filenames like 10.mp3, 11.mp3, etc. and the indexing of track Title/Album/Artist to the cached mp3's is stored in /data/data/com.google.android.music/databases/music.db
That's just plain stupid..... I paid for the music and should be able to move it to where I want on my own device. I love Google but they do some stupid things. Such as that and not letting you merge 2 separate Google accounts. Thanks a bunch though

Yeah it's stupid. You're better off buying from Amazon.

Kinda stupid, I agree. However, if you're storing music on your phone, you might as well plug in your phone, and just copy the music over to the folders you want, which will preserve file titles/tags.
I actually like Play Music .... but this closed music management is terrible. You can not choose where your music is stored and you can't open your music with another app. As it has been said above, there is the possibility to read out the music.db. So I've written me an app, that copies my MP3 files from Play Music to the sdcard and extended them with the ID3 meta data such as title, artists, albums and coverart. Now I can play the music with every app and theoretically even share.
Of course the whole thing is only one solution for rooted phones. But it makes play music a little more comfortable.
I even found a way to save music from AllAccess, but I'm not going to publish this App Version in the foreseeable future because of legal problems.
I would also like to create help thread here in XDA, but unfortunately I must have 10 posts written , before I can create am own thread in the developer forum.
Here is a Link to to the Play Store: Unfortunately I can not post links yet. Search 'Play Music Exporter' on Google Play.
