hi all.
have noticed something with my hd2 that is rather annoying; as it happens everytime this is done.
i have music on my storage card, and the hd2 sense player will play it fine. however, if you connect it to a computer as a Disk Drive, so you have fast access to the storage card, and then remove it from the computer, the music player is unable to read the music stored on my card, and any that is stored on the internal storage as well. the only way i have found to resolve this is a soft reset, and then the player will properly find the media again.
it looks like it hangs while trying to search for the media, and if you tilt for albums, it can't find anything despite displaying the media on the portrait page.
apologies if this has been answered, but i couldn't find this bug in any of the other music freezing threads.
does anyone know what exactly causes this and how to fix it?
other than don't use it as a disk drive

Lo all,
Got my new orbit 2, so far impressed after moving from the original orbit. Problem is that when importing music into the htc app, it won't find all the tracks and seems to get stuck somewhere, with the magnifying glass always present on the track list screen... I'm using an 8gig card, but the old orbit had no issues with this...
Same with pictures, it finds some, but not all... is this software or is my device faulty... failing that, am i just thick and doing something wrong?
cheers for any help!
How are you synchronizing your music? I am using Windows Media Player on my PC to sync and all my tracks are read just fine off my 8GB miniSD.
FYI: HTC Audio manager scans the SD card for tracks, so maybe you just need to let it finish scanning and you'll find your tracks?
Cheers for the reply!
I'm not sync'ing, I'm dragging and dropping straight to the card via usb reader...
As for letting it find the tracks, when I put lumps of tracks on, it takes seconds to find them, with the lot on, I've left it for an hour and still no joy!!!

Just curious, what is the bit rate your music is encoded at? I have heard issues with some players reading a list that had items encoded at too large a bit rate.
I had the same issue on the Polaris. 8GB SD. Magnifying glass keeps going and not all tracks were in the library. I think it's an HTC Audio Manager thing. I don't remember seeing WMP having the same problem.

No, not neccessarily, I use HTC Audio Manager as my primary mp3 player. But I sync from the PC using Windows Media Player. All tracks show up. I however only have about 4GB synced at this point. Maybe the issue is when you get closer to 8GB of music on the card?
My orbit 2 appears to have developed a fault which I cannot find any other occurrence of on this forum.
Suddenly the whole device will crash every time I try to play any music file in either Audio Manager (my preferred application) or the default windows media player.
I have performed a hard reboot, reloaded all my songs into the Audio manager library but still the entire phone crashes every time I try and play a song.
My music would play in Coreplayer without crashing the system, but this program was rather slow and unstable with the volume of songs I have. The radio works unhindered.
Anyone got any ideas?
Solved the problem and thought I'd share the solution in case anyone else has trouble like this.
I discovered that seven files (music files and images) had corrupted on my storage card, and this seems to have caused problems for audio manager and windows media player. Data back up, then a formatting of the card have left the device working smoothly once more.
After I made the at&t ICS OTA update I have really big problems with my music files. My music, 8 GB of mp3 files simply disappear from time to time. They are physically still on the sd card but none of the music plays recognizes them. I try google music, moto music and also winamp. Then I delete all files from the sd card an copy them again. It works but just a few days and then all players say no music found. What the hell is that?
I also cannot start the music player with pressing the headphone button when the screen is off. That worked fine on GB with an headphone button controller app, but on on ics.
Anyway to go back to GB?

same happen to me, there is a thread in the motorola forum about this, it seems that you need to format your sd card and then copy all your files again, in fact, even a factory reset to the phone may be needed.
and you can't go back to gingerbread.
I had the same problem. How are you getting the music onto your SD card? Plug your phone into your PC in media device mode. If you can't see the folder that your music is in it won't see it. You have to copy everything to your phone that way. PS I using moto drivers ver 2.2.28

Hi,
I am exploring different ways to cast music to my TV. Given that there is no cast button on google play music I'm trying out the music app. I noticed you can play music from your local network on it and I have a hdd full of music. Normally I have this plugged straight into my wdtv,but since I want to try share it with my phone I have plugged it into the router and set that up.
The problem is that it is still not coming up under local network in the music app. It is however showing under local network in file commander, but if I try play music or movies from there it just says it can't play the file.
How do I get this working?
Also, I know this isn't a wdtv forum, but I haven't managed to get it to show on that either, so if anyone has any guidance there that would also be much appreciated.
Just to add, my pc is able to access all the files fine, it's just the e4 and the wd that are having issues
Ok, I've figured out how to access a hdd plugged into the wdtv, so that has solved one problem, the hdd is now plugged into there,not the router. But everything else is still the same. I can access the folders and see what's in them,but can't play any media
Update: I now have vlc player, and that plays the stuff from the hdd with no problems. However that has no cast button, so defeats the purpose of what I wanted to do anyway. Is it just that the Sony video and music apps won't play from a hdd on the network?that seems strange since they both have local network options in their menus
This is driving me nuts. I don't listen to music on my phone, but there is one purpose I need a playlist for.
I have this great Alarm Clock Extreme app, that allows me to set up alarms with random file from a playlist as the alarm sound. So I have set up a playlist of songs I want to wake me every morning in the Android's Music app, and it works great. I don't need nothing more.
But sometimes I need to transfer some files between my phone and the PC, so I connect the USB cable and select "Transfer files" (It doesn't say, but I believe it uses the MTP protocol, not the Mass Storage thing). After disconnecting the USB it turns out my alarms playlist have disappeared. The music files are intact, just the playlist is gone. So I have to recreate the playlist, and set it up again in the Alam Clock app for each and every alarm, which is extremely annoying.
I have found some discussion with similar problem, but the solution didn't work for me (moving playlist file from sd card to internal storage - can't do that, because on my phone the playlist is already in the internal storage).
I guess it's not a common problem, because many people would be having it, and the solution would be already known. So perhaps it's something wrong with my phone or the system? I would like to avoid reflashing the system just to check if that may or may not help. Also I'm not fond of updating the system to the newest version, because I'm afraid of getting bugs in different areas. I have been using this one for a long time, and everything works perfect apart from the freaking playlist.

Do you have any ideas apart from system update/reflash?
Issue disappeared after upgrading to RR-N-v5.8.5. Just in case someone has similar problem.
