Media Sync on Xperia Neo V ICS fix - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I am looking for some advice, having come up with sweet FA after searching Google, XDA forums, app FAQs etc. I have somehow stuffed up my media library after playing with playlists and music in Windows Media Player (WMP) sync.
The fist time I synced music and playlists to my phone with WMP it worked perfectly. After later transferring some songs by copying to SDcard and overwritingr playlists, I've now run into a problem which causes my default music player Apollo to show only the music and playlists I originally synced, although browsing my SDcard shows all my other songs and playlists in the same folders. Here is a list of what I have tried so far to no avail:
Ending the WMP partnership and starting again
Unmounting and remounting SDcard
Using 'RescanMedia' app
Clear Data for MediaStorage and Apollo apps
Manually deleting related database files in /data/data
Reinstalling WMP on Win7
Formatting SDcard, starting with a fresh ROM and retrying the WMP sync (very weird that this didn't work - makes me think it's WMP)
No matter what I do, when WMP says I have synced successfully, the same old song list reappears in Apollo despite hundreds more songs being in the Music folder.
I'm using a Sony Xperia Neo V MT11i with cm_haida-0.3.antibillos ROM.
Any tips are apprecaited.

Music Tab TF3D

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.

How to sync music from itunes to your winmo device for free.

since i started using winmo devices several years ago ive always had a big problem syncing my music via wmplayer on my pc to my device.at best its a long,laborious and tedious process until now.
ive been trying out several apps to play music on my samsung b7610 and came across pocket tunes.i downloaded the trial w/c comes with an itunes sync module for pc(it installs to your desktop) and an app w/c installs via activesyc onto the winmo phone.i tried out the itunes sync to transfer music and playlists to the b7610 and it was a straightforward process not unlike syncing your ipod to itunes(very easy).i tried the pocket tunes app on my pocket pc and true enough my music was there,all organized into playlists like in itunes and ready to go.i put on my earphones(a pair of klipsch in ear monitors) played a few songs and found pocket tunes very unsatisfying so i uninstalled it.
next up on my try out list was an app called kinoma play,so i installed it,updated its library and after it did its updating,lo and behold,my music was still there,complete with playlists and album art.curious i opened up my touch media player(built in player by samsung)updated and again my music was there.tried the same thing on wmp mobile and wasnt dissapointed.the music was still there.
i tried playing around with the sync module,taking out playlists,adding songs to itunes etc... and it still synced.
finally i have solved a problem ive had all these years trying to sync itunes with my winmo device.give it a try.heres a link to pocket tunes trial

[Q] Playlist Syncing ? (Galaxy S i9000+ Froyo)

Hey people,
I'm having issues syncing playlists from my computer to my phone.
Been searching all over the net for a proper solution but no luck with this.
Here's my issue;
Basically when i sync playlists from my PC to my phone, it saves the playlists on my phone as .PLA format.
Now the only player that actually reads those playlists is my stock player.
I have tried several android players, but non of them will recognize the playlists.
On my PC for syncing i have tried
-WMP
-Winamp
-MediaMonkey
-DoubleTwist
All of these create playlists in PLA format on my device when transferring them, which wouldnt be a problem if i wanted to use the stock player.
As for android apps/media players i have tried:
-Cubed
-Winamp
-Mort Player
-Media PlayerPro
-Mixzing
-Astro Player
When i create a playlist using any of the apps on my phone, every other app is capable of reading them.
However, the playlist file can not be found on my phone, or my SD card. so i have no clue what format they are saved to, or where they are saved too.
I'm basically looking for a way to transfer my playlists from my computer to my android phone, and have the other apps actually read the playlists.
The phone im using is the Samsung Galaxy S.
Been trying to work this out for days now, but with no success what so ever.
So if there is anyone that has a clue on how to get this done properly, id appreciate it.

[Q] Full music list not showing on sdcard2

Good morning,
I have really ben enjoying my TnT Lite 4.24 g Tab. However, I am having problems accessing all of my music on the sdcard2. I am sure it is user error, so hopefully someone can help me out.
All of my music was synced directly to the card on my Windows 7 laptop through Windows Media Player. All of the music is on the card. I then installed the card into the G Tab and turned it on, giving the G Tab a few minutes to scan the card (I think it does that) I start the Music app, but only a couple albums are avaialble. Why would this be?
Using ES Explorer, I see all the albums are there and can even play the music from ES Explorer, but not the Music app.
Any idea on what I may have one incorrectly getting the music onto the card, or how to fix this?
Thanks or any help!
Mark
I finally gave up storing music on the external sdcard. I have the best luck when I put all of my music and videos on the internal card. And the problems existed with the built in music app, and winamp.
Music Problems too
Hello,
I am also having problems with music files...my albums all show, however, some of the albums have songs appearing from completely different artists/albums...it's as if some index is corrupt or not properly compiled.
I'm running TnT Lite 4.4 and I've copied all of my music to the internal SD card. I've downloaded the WinAmp app and have the same problem as with the stock music player installed with the ROM.
Is there a way to rebuild the index? Or does such a thing exist?
Any ideas?
TIA...

Froyo and playlists and non-OEM media player help.

Pardon me if this has been addressed elsewhere. I have searched the internet as well as these forums and have found "similar" posts but nothing EXACT.
I have a Samsung Captivate just upgraded to the official Froyo - everything works great EXCEPT FOR THIS:
Playlists synchronized from my PC to the phone do not show up in ANY media player EXCEPT for "Music Player" (OEM/stock) - I have used Media Monkey, doubleTwist and WinAmp on the computer side and on the phone side I have used Mixzing, WinAmp and doubleTwist to play - ALL the music shows up (with correct tags) but the playlists do NOT in any player except for Music Player - I suspect this is either a known issue with no known work-around, or the workaround is simple and I'm about to get yelled at for not knowing what exact word string combination to search for to pull it up.
I've never been able to transfer my playlists either so I'd like to know if there is a solution too. If not there's always the longer way by adding the songs you want to an sd card, save them as playlist then move the music from there & repeat as needed.

Don't know if this will help you, so here goes. I noticed that when I downloaded some mp3's that a few of the tags were WAY off (band name, song title, etc). So I downloaded, from the Market, MP3 Tagger to rename those tags. What I'm getting at is that MP3 Tagger automatically finds where your mp3's are stored on your phone, then allows you to make changes, then the newly-changed file shows up in your media players automatically. I hope this helps.
What are you using to sync the music and create the playlist? Are you connecting the Captivate as a Mass Storage device or a Media Player? If connecting as a Media Player, then the playlists will be created as WPL files which I believe only the stock player will play. I connect the captivate as a Mass Storage Device and then sync it that way, which creates an M3U playlist which can be played by everything
only WMP makes WPL lists and it can be changed in settings. he mentioned he used winamp and others. so probably not the issue.
also i find mounting as media player, sucks, i did that and half my music disapeared. might have been a bad phone though. been replaced but ever since i connect as mass storage.
I've tried mass storage and media player. When I use mass storage the music loses its organization (folders, etc) but that might have been a MediaMonkey thing. I will try the experiment again using mass storage and doubletwist and winamp- I have the highest faith in those two...

The playlists ARE showing up on the phone but ONLY in the stock music player. Its almost like they are being intercepted. I am going to try mass storage and doubletwist tonight.

I had the same problem then started using doubletwist on y phone and desktop to sync. It works perfect now.

I just tried using doubletwist to doubletwist using "storage mode" not MTP and I'm having the same problem. The playlists do not show up in ANY application on the device except for "My Music" (OEM player). All the tracks, albums, artists show up in the other player just not the playlists.
