I know some of you said it loaded immediately?
Mine does not.... I have it stored on a 8 gb storage card in folder then called music. Then I have sub dirs for artist then another dir for album
I had to use Windows Media Player 11 to sync up the music. It tells you how to do it step by step in one of the manuals that comes with it.
I also discovered, as a Zune owner and Zune Pass Subscriber, that this technique worked with Zune Pass music as well.
The music icons in the music tab will show only if the songs are in the "Now Playing" section in the library. If you want to see al songs there just go to the library, all songs, and select a song and then they will show in the touchflo.

Hi all,
I'm trying to create or to copy my playlist from the computer to my Magician, but I couldn't! I don't know how to do it.
If I copy the .WPL from my PC to Magician, it doesn't open. When I'm using the Pocket Microsoft Media Player 10, my library have a lists of Playlists, but it's always empty and I don't know how to create one.
Can anyone help me please?
The playlists hold a definitive list of where a file is stored. If you have the stuff in "my music" then the files will be in c:\Documents And Settins\ (Username)\My Documents\My Music, and as such all files in the playlist will be listed in this location, and as this location does not exist in the device, it cannot find the files. You also need to copy the actual music files across, not just the wma files (Music files are mp3, wma, etc.)
If you want to use the device as an MP3 player, you should really get a storage card to store the music on.

I think you got me wrong. I already have a Storage Card and about 100 WMA files. The Library on MP is OK, but I have no Customized Playlists. That's what I want.
Got it?
Thanks!
Ok as to making playlists in Pocket Windows Media Player, i have no idea. i just had a look at my universal and i cant see the option.
Hoiwever, in the program that i use instead of WMP (Pocket music from pocketmind.com), you can make, view and edit playlist easily, plus it has a nice today screen plugin.
so one can not make new playlists in windows media player
The Pocket PC version of Windows Media Player does not allow you to create or edit playlists. But there is a freeware program for it!

Thank you very much.
I never liked WMP. I store all my music and videos on iTunes. I can't seem to drag and drop iTunes playlists into my media card (Computer> Device> Media Card.)
My main problem with WMP is even though I edit the song/video name, it still syncs over the original file name. If I change the original file name for WMP then I have to rename it for iTunes cause when I go back to iTunes to play the song/video, it says the file is missing. It's a pain!!!
Is there another option so that I don't have to mess with WMP?
Thanks!
Thanks to those who helped me to get my TP to recognise my 8gb (original) Sandisk SDHC.
I synchronised my TP with Media Monkey and copied over about 30 albums to the Card. My problem is that whilst my TP sees the card when I select the music player I only get the 4 pre-installed music files. All those albums I have on my card are not accessible.
Anyone any ideas what I am doing wrong?. All help gratefully received.
P.S
I have tried a soft reset but still no joy.
you need to put your music in a certain loction i think...

I just have mine in a folder named "Music" on the memory card. I don't think the location matters, it should just search for them all and add them. Try changing the library location in Media Player on the phone to the storage card, by default its set to the device memory, where those 4 tracks are kept.
Once you add any media to your phone, or SD, simply use Media Player to locate the files. I just use the "Update Library" option in MP, and it will pick up everything regardless of its location. Once updated, you should see it in Media Player, and in the Music tab on the TF3D interface.
Good luck.
Thanks
I bypassed TP 3d screen and went to WM player and updated library.
Now the albums are viewable in TP 3D FLO. HOWEVER.
in TP 3D Pro at the front end only the "now playing" songs are scrollable. There appears to be no option so it scrolls through the albim art by album. It does this by song. Given that I have an 8GB card I have put 40 albums on with nearly 1000 songs. When I use the home screen and the scroll to Music Player I see the album art of 1000 songs and can scroll through each song brining up the album art associated with each song.
Is there a setting so that when I scroll to music player from home screen tomusic player, when I select this it shows "albums" not "now playing" as otherwise I am flipping through album art of 1000 songs in A-Z order.
I just cannot see a setting to use album rather than now playing as the screen when music player is scrolled to and selected from home TP 3d Flo.
I hope that makes sense.
Okay i've had similar problems with music not showing up in the touchflo player so eventually have found this method...
I sync my music to the phone using Windows Media Player. (Make sure that your library has only what you want to sync in it! And sync to the card not the internal memory! Is it me or is this software somewhat illogical))
Then opened windows media player on the phone from the applications icon and did an update library command from the 'menu' button bottom right.
Then had to do a soft reset with button on bottom of phone otherwise touchflo player sticks at searching!
Go to touchflo player which shows 'now playing' screen. Select 'all music' (bottom left below icons). New icons are now 'now playing' 'artists' 'albums' 'playlists' 'all songs' 'genres' 'composers' . All the organisation I could possibly need.
Hope this helps.
Hello everybody!
I ask for your help, because I tried all possible solutions, but unsuccessfully.
I can't make TF3D music player to play my MP3s on the SD card.
When I had HTC Universal, I had MP3s on the SD in the "MUSICA" folder.
I copied all the folder to the new MicroSD for the Touch Pro.
Inside there are other sub-directories, as MIX, ARTISTS, etc...
The first time I open TF3D music player, it searches for music in the internal memory and in storage card.
They are a lot of files, about 3Gb, so it takes a long time to finish.
When it finishes catalogation, I find the list of all MP3s, someone with the album art.
But when I try to play one, it doesn't start.
Someone starts playing after 10s I pressed the play icon, it plays for 7-8s, then playing stops.
I can't change MP3 file with the up and down arrows near the play icon.
If I open the catalog to select another MP3 on the list, it doesn't select it and it returns to the music player showing still the previous MP3.
I read in some threads to try to stop TF3D and delete the catalog file (AudioManager_Eng.vol).
I did it, the catalog regenerated, but still the same problem.
I tried to rename the folder "MUSICA" in a more stardard "Music" or "My Music" and relaunched a new catalogation, nothing changed.
I tried also to move all files from the sub-folders to the "main" folder "My Music", nothing changed.
I had this problem with the shipped WWE ROM, but also with my actual ROM, a reconstructed ITA ROM.
I noticed that after a hard-reset, without the SD inserted, TF3DMP plays correctly the sample MP3s inside "My Music" in internal storage.
I will try to move some files to "My Music" on the internal storage to see what it happens, but it's not the solution.
I can't copy 3Gb of MP3s in the internal storage!
I saw that people can play MP3s on SD card with no problems with the TF3DMP.
So what's wrong?
I don't know what other tries I can do to try to find where's the problem.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi, that means you have something wrong - for htc's music player - with some of the mp3s on your sd card, and that the ones you chose to put in the device's memory are OK.
I have run into the same kind of problem, with a much smaller amount of music, because some of my files didn't have correct meta data (artist / album).
The best way is to try putting the albums one by one and test - or to use another music player. Personally I'm wondering if I'm not goint to switch to pocket music player, less eye candy, no album covers, but no bugs, instead of a library sorting you can chose to play a directory - I didn't find a way in HTC's player to just take the songs of a directory instead of scanning everything, in order to prevent this kind of bug...
I am running the new Lantis OS rom and i don't know if it has to do with the rom or something else.. I used windows media play to sync music to my phone, the music is there but when i go to the music tab on touchflo it only displays one song, but i can click library and select a different song, but it doesn't allow me to flip through them like it should. Can someone help me on this one please?
Try to update your library first?
In windows media player? Sorry, i don't use music on my phone that often but i would like to start.
Steven,
This happened to me last week too where the album art in TF3D will just show only 1 image for all the songs and sometimes you get the feeling that your music is not being changed once a song is finished. What i did was to make a folder inside a music folder for each album and then put album art in all the folders and name it as folder.jpg and after that my music tab is working fine and without any problems.
Thanks for the reply i will have to try that. There is one thing though when i used windows media player on my desktop computer to sync music it put all the albums in separate folders in a music folder on my storage card.
