I've searched for the answer to this but have not come up with the solution to this problem, just others relating to skipping tracks after a few seconds playing...
Here's my problem...
Some tracks that have been previously recognised and played by Pocket Media Player aren't playing anymore.
In the playlist, they show up with red letters like as if they have been deleted off the memory card, BUT THEY'RE STILL THERE.
Mysteriously, these tracks will playback fine if I go into File Explorer and select them from there.
I started to think that the path information in Pocket Media Player had become corrupted, so I deleted the whole database of my tracks and let the application find them again.
IT STILL DOESN'T PLAY SOME OF MY TRACKS!
Can anyone tell me WTF is going on?
Please don't tell me to use another media player unless this problem can't be fixed.
Thanks in advance.
A bit more background information may help...
I'm using the Vodafone WM6.1 on a Kaiser
There are no other programs running in the background.
Is this a file path problem?
Is there a limit to the number of characters in a path and maybe the files that don't play are the ones where this limit is exceeded?
Help!
Thanks.
I am sure someone beside me (and the other person which posted in the link below) have the problem of windows media player in WM 6.1 saving the playlist incorrectly by adding "/Playlists/" to the path inside playlist.asx
i.e. the correct path would usually be something like "/Storage Card/Music/mysong.mp3", instead windows media player would save the path inside the playlist.asx as "/Storage Card/Playlists/Music/mysong.mp3"

It doesn't happen all the time but it happens enough that it's annoying that you have to open a txt editor on the phone to delete all the extra "/Playlists" word being incorrectly added to the path of the mp3 files.
Anyone have any solution? Thanks
No one else has this problem? No one else want to confirm that they have this problem also?
I have a problem really similar to this... or may be related.
I have all my music stored in a custom folder structure on my PC. I have created playlists using Windows Media Player... then synced to my HTC Touch Pro 2.
Everything copies over perfectly and all playlists are copied... but when I try to play the playlists, it says it can't find the files?
I opened up the playlists in a text editor and it seems as though the path seems fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
Occasionally, the playlist will play fine!
I'm having the same problem in wm 6.5.5 (touch 2), doesn't have a fix?
Has anyone experienced this type of problem?
It was fine until I updated my itunes or xperia to RBA20A.
However afterward, I tried to transfer my songs from media go to xperia but it will not create m3u file.
I tried sony ericcson media sync on mac, but the lists (playlist, artists, podcast and so on) are empty.
Anyone experiencing this sort of problem? Care to share you story and your solution?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. I can create the playlists in Mediago but when I try to move them to the phone they are not accepted. The funny thing is that after trying multiple times, I managed to get a couple of playlists transfered but others will not transfer.
i do got the same problem.............media go only transfers 5 out of my 11 playlists,tried many times.........
same problem for me, this is a bug, i have tried deleting and renaming, recreating, and now I dont know what else to do any hint?
I just found out that there are some songs files with some trouble unknown that if I remove this song from the playlist the file will be copied. Besides this you can see on the error log on media go.
Error: Could not transfer playlist 'x' to device 'XPERIA'
Code: 0x8004e009 (An error occurred writing the file. Make sure you have write access to the file/folder and that there is enough free space.)
one more update, I found out that these "corrupted" songs are with special characters on the filename. I removed this character, delete the file from the phone and synchronize it again and then the play list appears on the phone
i have switched back to mediaGo 1.4...........its working flawlessly
i will try mediago 1.4 again
thanks for update everyone.
Hi, for those of you with playlist problem with some special character, you can try to open the m3u file with notepad and save it again with encoding set as "UTF-8" instead of "ANSI".
Hope this wil help you as it did for me.
i'm using Media Go 1.5
or media go 1.4 just works as well
Just installed 1.4 and it works.
I contacted Sony AGES ago about MediaGo because I found out almost immediately that it would not add songs with "special" characters to the library. I used it for my PSP and there were SO many problems with it.
Eventually they did an update and it fixed it for some characters but not all of them!
MediaGo is, really, a piss-poor piece of software for managing media files. The only redeeming feature for me is the ability to re-encode movie files for specific devices.
Also, my PSP supports "SensMe" so why can't the X10?
Merry Christmas to everyone!!
I would like to ask if someone knows, how can i make my songs (.mp3) to have recognizable characters at every android media player. Let me make clear to you that non-english characters (greek letters) at my songs are nearly unreadable at players. Media players play such songs normally but i can not read their IDE tags (for example: individual artist's name, album's name, e.t.c....) Every android file explorer can identify their name, (so windows 7 do) but not the android players ( i have tested almost every media player available in market, now i am using miui player with the same problem). I have HTC magic with CM7.2 and the problem is with greek letters in songs which they appear to me as chinese ones and therefore i am not able to make playlists, choose a specific song from my list... How can i fix this??
I have tried all the music players and not one can find this album. It is there, because I see it in root explorer. If i click on a song it will play that song only. For some reason the album will not show up. I took it off phone and computer, Re burned it, and reloaded it to phone. Permissions are the same and it is MP3 format.
Any thought? Thanks, it is one of my favorites and hate not being able to listen to it.
Edit: Solved, you have to take out the "..." from the beginning of album name and reboot for it to show up. I guess a file name can't start with "..." .
