Alright, so lately Ive been realizing my song titles have been changing themselves, just the titles are changing to the names of sound effects from a gameloft game I have.
Example:

Now my question, can I fix this? Does anyone know how to manually change the names on my phone.
I've tried deleting and re-adding them from my computer but no luck, it seems to have infested my computer as well.

I just installed the X-plore ROM last night and I love it. The only thing that is bothering me is a certain system sound. I first heard it when booting into WM6 for the first time before the on screen tutorial, and now I hear it when I get almost any kind of error. It's a rather obnoxious noisy sound and it even irritates my cats. I don't know what the sound is called but I sure wish I did. It is a kind of stuttering noise and it definitely seems to be associated with certain events, but I'm not 100% clear on which events exactly.
It isn't listed in the Sounds part of the control panel (I tried listening to all of those) and it isn't in any sound file in the Windows folder. I tried using Search to find files that are .wav , .wma , and .mp3 but Search doesn't seem to look in all folders.
I found out how to disable specific event sounds with a registry tweak but I would rather just know where this sound is stored so I can change it if possible. I tried searching the forums here but I'm not finding anything useful.
Many thanks in advance for any help!!
p.s. I just realized I forgot to say this is the PDA Mobiz version of X-plore , so it might have been added somewhere down the line.
I thought I had made a thread for this a while ago, but can not find it. Sorry if its a repost.
What I was wondering is whether or not someone who had an app, or the skilz to make an app, that can take a sample of an mp3/wma/ogg/flac/etc file, match it on say shazam or something then update the ID3 tag with the pulled info. With the option for it just to rename them automatically, or ask for your approval of changes. Much like how Album Art Grabber gets your artwork for you on mass, with little or no manual intervention. This would be great for a few reasons.
I have been finding myself using mp3 download apps on my phone a lot now, more so than my comp and these files are usually incomplete at best. a way to get these, then run this app to fix discrepancies would be awesome!
Its not that I'm lazy, I just have 10+ years of tunes on my external and a lot of them didn't get tags back in the day. Plus after that long, uploads, downloads, 4 computers, iTunes (ARGH!!! I HATE ITUNES!!!!!!) renaming and reorganizing have some in a mess. So when I transfer them, they usually all show up unknown, null, or DGOI.mp3. And renaming & tagging 1000s of songs one by one is not how I want to spend a week.
Hope this sparks an idea, or someone can point me in the direction of one that already exists. I'm sure one does for a PC, but I don't use mine for media other than movies. My phone is my music machine. If a PC solution is the only way so be it.
I don't know of an app that can do this but maybe someone could take the method that the app ,"MP3 Download", uses. First you search for a song and can preview then you can choose to download it. Once you have downloaded it you can goto edit tags and it has a download button... I don't know what database it uses or how it is configured but it will give you album art and is usually correct. I think it has to have the album name though.
Thanks! I'll try that on there, and my old iMusic Tao apk I still have.

I have updated my Samsung Focus (on Rogers / Fido) to Mango and followed the instructions for setting a custom ringtone:
1. Under 1Mb
2. Under 29 seconds
3. No DRM
4. Set genre to "Ringtone"
I transferred the ringtone to my Zune collection then sync'd with my phone, but it is not displayed under the ringtone selection screen. Any ideas?
Did it actually sync? Can you find the file in the desktop zune?
I had the same problem with one ringtone that I made and I couldn't figure it out. I ended up using a different service (cutMP3) and it worked.
Don't know why.
I had some weird problems creating ringtones last night too.
I chopped up "I Am The Doctor!" from Doctor Who and named my two files "I Am The Doctor!" and "I Am The Doctor! 2". I went and changed the id tags correctly, but the 2 would never show up. That ended up being fixed by taking out the ! in the second filename AND song title in the tag.
Then I was making some for Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. I named all the files based on game such as "L4D The Monsters Within.mp3" and "L4D2 The Monsters Within.mp3" to be able to tell them apart. None of my L4D ringtones showed up in Zune. I fixed this by editing the L4D files tag song title taking out the space between L4D and the title (So it would be "L4DThe Monsters Within"). This seemed to work, but is bizarre.
Edit: I used Audacity to chop up the songs. I would blame it, but one of the L4D files was only 9 seconds in the first place. Zune just must be really picky.
I post this in my SGS4G Forum, but haven't gotten any hits, trying to broaden my chances of getting some help.
Ok, before i posted this i searched high and low and really couldn't find a strait answer. Here is what i am trying to do... I have a bunch of cool sounds... I would like to set these sounds as key tones... you know, like when i dial a number on my key pad.
So i got all the files in order, converted them to .ogg, and placed them in /system/media/audio/ui and renamed them key1.ogg key2.ogg etc.... Well nothing happens, i cant even play the file, it says its "unrecognized" by the stock media player and Rockplayer. anyone have any ideas?
I read somewhere that the "program" that plays these files will only recognize certain codecs or something, That is a little outside my AO (area of operation)....any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found this
http://www.droidnova.com/creating-sound-effects-in-android-part-1,570.html
However, i am not a Dev so this might as well be Japanese, any hints?
That link is relevant for writting an app that plays sounds.
The app that does this, the dialer already exists though.
This rather sounds like a codec problem.
If you can't open and play those files with the native android player on your phone, the dialer won't be able either.
Recheck the encoding on those sound files and try again.
they will play from the sdcard, but when i move them to the UI folder on the root, they wont... still an encoding issue?
Could be a permission issue.
There is no permission issue on the sdcard, as all files are accessible to everyone, but this doesnt apply to files in the root folder.
So try changing the permissions.
Changed the hell out of the permissions, which made the native player play the file.. YAY!! However......when i changed the file name to Key1.ogg from key1a.ogg, i press the corresponding number on the dialer...i get nada. so sound at all, i will play with permissions a little more, maybe change the format to a lower quality file and see if that helps... Thanks for the insite!
Well the filename has to be the same as the original one, CASE SENSITIVE mostlikely.
To make sure you have absolutely the same kind of file you could extract the original sound file and use a common player (i.e. VLC?) to check the bitrate, encoding, kHz etc.
I DID IT!!! WOO HOO.. what a pain in the ass! LOL I made the files smaller... less than 16hz and 92kbps.. then sent them all to drop box... copied them to the ui folder... THEN...I renamed the originals...then renamed the new ones.. giving them god permission. It worked!! Wish i was more of a Dev.. i'd make an app to simplify it...took about an hour once i got the hang of it....
So in CM9's dev tools under media provider there is a button called insert 20 albums. I innocently hit it trying to see what it did. As expected it made 20 fake albums on my device. However I can't find a way to remove these. Others have said that when they reboot they're gone, but mine stick around. I can't find any files with these names on my device. I also tried adding 20 new ones and rebooting to see if it was just a glitch and they would go away after that, so now I have 40 fake albums on my device. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?
I don't know how that feature works, but have you already tried clearing music app data?
yeah sorry I should have mentioned that. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the player even.
I don't mean to be rude, but I'mbumping this in hopes that someone smarter than me can find it
After posting I decided to try my luck again. I found the media provider databases internal.db and external.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases
after poking around in them I found reference to the fake albums in the external.db they seem to reference some bogey url instead of a file, so I just deleted the external.db and rebooted. It appears to have repopulated with normal settings afterwards.
Here the case is old, but as still same case here with me. By the way, Thanks for helping!
