The propa way to organise music? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I just want to be able to go into my music, and see the list of albums with the correct album art. then click on it and list all songs with correct names in that album.
I click on my mixzing music player, and i do see album's with album arts but some of them only have 1 track in where there should be about 22 (the full album) the album I have for example(now thats what i call music 72) has 5 selections which contains..
1 song
1 song
1 song
19 songs
1 song
so whenever i want to play the full album. I either have to play the 1 song and then switch or play the 19 songs and miss out on the 4 other songs. All songs are from the same album not sure why its doing this??
anybody got on tips on the best way to set up my music ?? thanks

I use Media Monkey to organize my music on my desktop, which is rather robust when it comes to tagging. Make sure that all the tags are the same. I've had to fix a few when dumping music on my Droid, and as long as the tags are right and the music is organized properly you should be good to go.
Generally speaking, my tracks are organized as such on the SD card.
/sdcard/Music///
I'm not sure if the physical arrangement comes into play or just the tagging, but I'm pretty meticulous when I rip/download music so I would have to play with it to find out. At the very least, it won't hurt.

TouchFlo3D Music Player, how to play by genre/artist/etc?

I can't seem to get used to the TouchFlo3D music player. It found all my music and I can browse it in the library. I can play single mp3s from an album and somehow managed to create a playlist with all my music.
But isn't it somehow possible to play an entire album? Or all songs from an artist or genre? When I go to the library, choose the 'artists' tab, select an artist and press 'Play' at the bottom right it just returns to the media player without playing anything (the songs already there just remain there).
Am I missing something? Windows media player does it just fine but the touch music player confuses me bigtime.

To play an album: "Library" -> click on the CD case picture (it will show all albums) -> scroll to the album you want to listen to -> tap on it -> tap on the first song (it will start paying the first song and will then continue with the rest of the album)
Argh, and if I go to the genre -> all songs and play the first one there it also queues the entire genre...
Cheers for the response anonimo... Can't believe how I missed it.

How to manage music in Windows Phone 7?

So I'm kind of an exception case for music, where I hunt for all my music via music blogs. The problem with this is that most of the songs I download aren't part of an album, and most of the time are pre releases, or bootlegs.
In these situations how do I organize my music through zune?!
Editing tag information in Zune REQUIRES an album name. Adding albums that don't have an album name are tagged "Unknown Album {Date Added}".
Is there any way to just have the songs without album names hidden? I've even tried using a space, but then it started grouping all of those together as an unknown album .
Other than that do you guys have a particular way in how you organize music?

Uhm. I would just make a bogus album name (aka song name). There's no way to just have album so just do it that way. You can always just look at different ways to look at ur music, by artist, song, etc...

That's what I do for any artist where I have b-sides or demos in addition to the regular albums. I create an album called 'singles' and group all the non-album tracks under those. You could create different albums like this; demos, singles, bootlegs, etc.

Edit or create Android music playlists?

So I am using an HTC Evo running Android 2.2 with HTC Sense.
I am trying to set up some playlists in the stock music player.
Creating the playlists in the music player is pretty straight forward. The problem is some of the song titles are too long to read on the screen. It doesn't have a landscape mode either, so that doesn't help.
I have friends who are musicians, and I have a lot of their music on my phone. They will give me, for example, a 4 disk set with 20 songs per disk and each song will be named SquishFunkJamsWinter2010Song5Disk2.
If I put the whole folder for each disk in a playlist, it defaults to putting song 10 before song 1, and the order is all weird. And when I try to change the order of the playlist, I can't read the end of the name because it's too long.
Does anyone know of a good app that will let me create or edit playlists and will work in landscape, or at least let me scroll over to read the end of the longer file names?
Also, does anyone know where the stock HTC music player stores the playlists that it creates?
I am looking for a way to do this on the phone, not a computer...

[Q] [QUESTION]How do I manage Playlists in Mango - create - edit - change order

So, on my LG Quantum, I was trying to create a new playlist from my existing mp3 files. When I do this, it creates a playlist with everysong.
So what's the point of creating a playlist if it has everysong?
Also, I am not seeing anyway to adjust the order of a playlist.
When I shuffle, it switches from playing a playlist, to playing all music.
Maybe it's as simple as clearing the music that is considered now playing. But, I am not seeing where that is displayed.
Starting up Music, the first screen says
Zune, with items (music, videos, podcasts, radio, marketplace)
The next screen says Histroy with tiles of songs and playlists.
The only menu options are play music and search marketplace.
The next screen says new with tiles of songs and playlists.
Again, the only menu options are play music and search marketplace.
The next screen says apps.
It lists MSN Money Stocks, and YouTube and YouTube again.
The only menu is search marketplace.
The next option takes me back to zune.
Since I want to create a playlist, I select music.
I can play an album and create a playlist from it.
If I play a song and create a playlist, it puts every song on my device in the playlist.
If like an album, but don't necessarily want all the songs of it in a particular playlists, I see no way to remove a song from a playlist, or create a playlist without the one song.
Anyone know how to create a playlist. Then add just the songs that you want to the list. Then shuffle the playlist. Then later remove and add songs to the playlist.
If there is an app that accomplishes this, I am fine purchasing it. I am just a little shocked that this is not built in or easier to figure out.
After going here: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions
And reading all requests for playlist, the feature just is not implemented well.
There is not a good way to create new playlists.
Only thing I can think will sort of work is to create a playlist on your computer with 1 song that you like or just a 1 second or shorter song of just silience.
Sync that your device. Now you can play the playlist. Then add songs to the now playing. then create a new playlist from that.
It's a lame work around and it won't get around the fact that you can't remove a song from a playlist.

Random in music player apps, not that much?

Hello all.
I carry a good amount of music in my phone (LG G4): Around 20 gigabytes inside the /Music folder in the MicroSD card. The music is in folders that may be for a single artist or collections of a type of music with various artists.
I like to listen to the music in random order. I have tried Google Music, the LG music player, Musicolet and Pulsar. They find all the songs and folders, but in all of them the "shuffle all" option misbehaves in the same way: It will shuffle songs between a limited number of folders (perhaps 3). It will not repeat songs (or seldom do it), but it becomes monotonous.
For example: I may get a song from The Beatles, another from CCR, another from Metallica and then a different one from The Beatles, a different one from CCR and so on. seldom picking songs from other artists until these are over.
It becomes very noticeable in long trips. I may re-open the songs tab and press the shuffle button again, but then it will loop over a different small set of folders.
Have you noticed that as well? To these apps share the same code or libraries, perhaps?
Thanks.
