Weird issue that happened recently.
On two different ROMs, any of my playlist music is greyed out on My Library. The music will play on the playlist, but completely greyed out in My Library.
Anyone have a similar issue?
Any advice? Just tried an older APK and got the same issue.
EDIT: Happens on my tablet too.

May be a stupid question, but do you have a network connection when you are trying to play the my library songs? If you keep the music on the device on the playlists, for some odd reason it doesn't realize that the song is in your library too and it won't be kept on device for both. So, if you have your playlists kept to the device and not the library, then with no connection it wouldn't play. Hope this helps just a little.
Yes, it's when I have no connection. The songs all appear in my playlist and in my library. They are all greyed out in my library, but not my playlist when I have no connection.

Adding to that. I just downloaded the album from my library and it worked. They used to show up if I downloaded the playlist though.

Good! Glad to help...sucks that Google made it that way so you wouldn't have to download each song twice..

So today I noticed something very odd about my music. It seems that on both the stock music player and on PowerAMP when an album has more than 1 disc, it doesnt recognize that there's more than one disc. I've got all my music tagged correctly in iTunes...but when I import it to my phone, I get track listings that go 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3, etc etc etc(an example of an album that has 3 discs). Anyone know why this is? Or how to fix it without having to go and redo ALL of my music in iTunes so it doesnt do albums with multiple discs as such.

I hadn't noticed that, but mine does it too. What a fail.
Yeah, a pretty big fail in my opinion.
I haven't noticed this but I always tag my multi-disc albums by adding "Disc 1", "Disc 2", etc after the album name.
Not sure if this would make a difference but try Winamp and some other music players. Maybe another music player will resolve the issue without requiring manual renaming of the album tags.

Mine keeps force closing on me whenever I try to view my music by album. It will show the wrong album names next to the album covers, and then it shows the wrong songs in that album, followed by a force close. Works fine if you view by all songs. Just wondering if anyone else is having any issues, or if it could possibly be my SD card.
I haven't had this problem yet. Did you try clearing the data? Settings - Applications - Manage Applications, then click the All tab, go to music and hit Clear Data

I need to make a slight correction. It force closes when I view by artist and then choose an album. I'll try clearing the data now. Thanks for the suggestion.

I get the exact same force close. I have done a factory reset, and a few various other things. I have just determined that the music app is buggy at this time, and I've been using the Google music beta in the meantime.

Could be your files are corrupted or glitchy,, try different albums

i actually have had issues with reboots while playing music. very weird, but using power amp has fixed it.
This happens to me with the HTC player, Double Twist and Winamp. It basically skips songs, randomly stops the music, when I shut the screen off it would stop the htc player and winamp would play. There's so many weird things happening, and they all affect the music.

Google Music is AWESOMENESS!!!
I had this problem. I downloaded mp3tag on my PC. Click on file>add directory and add your music folder. After your music loads, scroll right to the "codec" heading,and click on the heading to sort by codec. I am not sure what codecs htc's player supports, but I deleted anything that wasn't "MPEG 1 Layer III" (mp3 is actually an abbreviation for this codec). This solved all of the problems you mentioned for me.

Hi guys, long time listener, first time poster.
I thought I would share my experience with the music app. I'm also having issues, but it only seems to be buggy when my aux cable is plugged from the headphone jack to the car. The music will skip as if I'm fast forwarding through the track and will eventually start skipping whole songs. I've also noticed when the phone goes into the lock screen, the music widget that appears has both the "play" and "forward" buttons highlighted as if I'm pressing them. Clearly I'm not pressing them. It also bugs out with Google Music Beta, though the app doesn't have a lock screen widget, yet. I have yet to try other music apps beside the two I mentioned. I will report back with any findings.
Thanks for having me.
After a couple days of searching and reading, looks like it's a bug with the headphone jack. The phone is reading headphones/aux cable as a control device. The Nexus One, Incredible and a few other phones had this issue when they launched. mrjkwik has posted a link to a fix in another thread, but here it is again.

Works for me so far, until HTC can roll out another update. Hopefully they do soon. The link to the market is for a widget, so place it on one of your home screens and make sure it's on before listening to music.
I am getting really frustrated with trying to get to the ringtone trimmer. I have searched and found several posts around the internet on getting to it via the music app. However, I cannot get to it on my phone it seems. If I start the music app itself, it doesn't show any music files. I tried doing a search for the file but it won't find it. I can't find an option in music to scan my phone for all music files either. If I go through root explorer and play it that way, the music popup player plays the file but there is no menu or options to set it as a ringtone, let alone trim it. It also doesn't add the file to the recently played list so I can'g get to it through the music app after playing it.
This has me really frustrated and I'm about ready to throw this phone through the wall. I found the HTC user manual telling how to do it, but guess what. IT DOESN'T WORK!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?

I think this is what you're looking for but if not I apologize...this is what worked for me.
1. Open the HTC music app and start playing a song.
2. Once on the now playing screen, select the button with 3 dots about halfway down on right hand side.
3. Select "set as ringtone" option
4. Select trim ringtone
Good luck!

Maybe that is the problem. The only music app I have is called Music, not HTC music. I am running the latest stock deoxed Rom. It might have been removed.

If I open the music folder, I can do the same thing suggested above. Works for me but I'm not rooted. I also used quickshortcut maker (available in the market) which helps to locate the hidden HTC apps. I was able to find ringtone trimmer with this, although Im not sure where this app comes from, but it is not in my app drawer. Hope this helps.

Music app seems to find all the mp3 files, when the phone boots. I have had to clear its data, if I delete folders containing mp3s. Try restarting the phone, and see of the mp3, you're trying to trim, shows in the Music app.

That was the key, rebooting. Was finally able to see the file to play it and trim it. Thanks.

I have lots of music on my micro sd card that the music players won't recognize. It will recognize some of the album's in my music folder but not all of them. The music is in the current playable format, I can even explore to the folders and play each individual song on every player I have and it will play fine, it just won't display all the songs together. I've tried re-scan media apps, deleting all "nomedia" files, clearing all music player caches, all with no success. Can someone please help me? My note 2 is rooted but that's it, no roms or anything, just root privileges so that I can do backups with Titanium Backup.

The media scanner sounds like it's confused for some reason, try clearing data in Settings->Applications->All->Media Storage
I've had people tell me to clear the music player data in the past and it never worked. I've never tried clearing media storage data. I cleared data and now all my music is displayed as it should be! I really appreciate it, I've struggled with this issue as far back as when i had my Galaxy S3 and never figured it out. Many props

" I cleared data and now all my music is displayed as it should be!"
Looks like it was fixed.
It did fix that problem but another appeared in its place. Now my music player is saying they're are 2 of every song. Every duplicate song that appears has the same exact file path. In essence, there is really only one song but the player is being two paths to the same song. I tried clearing my media storage again but to no avail.

Install another player. You shouldn't have to jump through these hoops to get it to work.
Or do this for your player:
Clear the data for your player like you did, then uninstall. While probably not necessary, reboot. Then reinstall and you should be good to go. If not then try a different player.

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?
