Can anyone help me with this...
Got my Galaxy Tab 2 w 404 XXBLH2. Running JRiver 17 and WMP12 on my PC and have both Stock, PlayerProand Winamp on my TAB2.
For some strange reason Media Info is missing from my Tab. Using the stock Music player, all the music is there, but half of them are called <unknown>, there is some album art, but not alot. In Jriver, Ive tried both SYNC'ing and Drag and Drop, but the result is the same.
When I use Both PlayerPro and Winamp onn the TAB, all the tracks called <unknown> in the stock player are missing, includes all my Playlists are empty. Videos are ok though. My SGS2 had the same issue, but at least that had UMS mode
Looks like some kind of tagging issue, im not sure any advice.
Im surprised not a single person on here has had the same problem or issues with ICS 404..
It turns out its the mp3 tagging under MTP, it only seems to like tags ID3 v2, so Im going to have to re-tag all 4000 tracks and so are you if you wanna sort it, but Im using MP3Tag, so its not too painful, but very very laborious..
Also, something else I came across in my hunt for a solution, if your having issues with getting the MTP to regsiter, try this:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=19153
then install the Samsung usb drivers, i think their up to v1.5.5.0.
Although my MTP being detected was never an issue, it just appears that you need Tags for some song titles when using MTP. I really hope Sammy override google specs and include a UMS mode in their new JB.

I have one issue that turns into multiple ones: I've used the default [google?] music player and a half dozen others [currently TTPod] and despite is ugly playback, only the default Music Player recognizes all of my stash. the others all miss from 25% to 70% or so of my files.
why is that? if it matters the handset is a LG P509, runs well, is rooted, running modified stock Froyo.
I don't get my music the usual 'store' way: I'm a musician and fan of live sound, so I rip from various sources a lot of live music, render them as MP3's. The players will typically pickup the same bunches and miss the same from one to other, with the exception that none of them handle audiobooks well, or collections of voice/reading/spoken::; examples are I have two versions of Bible audio loaded and a couple of longish books on Audio: player-depending, some will ignore a lot but not all of these files [no pattern] and others will do various things like renaming/numbering the files, leaving them nameless [unknown - track 1, etc] picking up duplicates, identifying individual tracks as albums [again, some, not all, seemingly at random] and elsewise.
???? makes me miss my ipod.
suggestions?

Have to tried fixing permissions in rom manager?

you were one step ahead of me. i had not thought of that particular function but I was on the hunt for a good file manager and picked up ES File Explorer. [good app] Anyway, prior to that I went back to market and found a trial of a paid player called PlayerPro. it does the trick. found everything, and was clever enough to obfuscate empty folders. "Folder" view is not the default, but its not hidden either, so using that View everything was quite orderly. so that issue is solved.
I'm still puzzled, however, by the underlying technicals of why this occurs. it would be non-mysterious if there was some consistency, for instance, NO audiobook-type track would be mishandled as an "album", instead of "some are... most are not". And stranger still - CD's that I have ripped directly using a PC based tool have a fairly ordinary file structure [unlike ripping from streams or youtube, or audio tracks from vids] - those genre/album based products completely miss those altogether even though they are in subfolders under "Music".

Hey guys,
I've got an odd problem with samsung stock music player on my note 10.1.
Every playlist I add to the device is (dis)played upside down. At first i suspected isyncr, which i use to sync my Itunes with the note, to be the problem - but it turned out it is not.
I already did the following:
checked the m3u playlist isyncr generates with a text editor - everything fine
cleared data of stock music player
cleared data of "media storage"
created a playlist with a 3rd party player (amazon) => reverse order in samsung player, correct order in poweramp, player pro
created a playlist with samsung player => reverse order in 3rd party players (amazon, poweramp, player pro)
searched the internet and xda
asked samsung support for help - twice
Internet knows a similar problem with samsung fascinate without any solution, here on xda i found an old thread which i suspect describes the same problem on a different device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404735), but also without a solution or idea.
I can hardly believe there is such a bug in the stock music app and hardly anyone steps into it. I also find it hard to believe that samsung had this bug in Fascinate's music player, fixed it in the Galaxy S2's (which i also own and doesn't have this problem), just to re-integrate it in the Note 10.1.
Samsung support is not able to give any qualified answers and rather tries to force me to use kies (which I even tried, but despite its poor performance cannot help me with this problem). I will, however, try to ask them a 3rd time.
The Problem existed in ICS ROM as well as in Jelly Bean, which arrived about 2 weeks ago (XXBLJ9).
Any Ideas what I could try next?
If you read this and don't know an answer either, you can still help me by verifying the problem on your note 10.1 - just create a playlist with for example amazon mp3 (playlist, not album) and open it with samsung stock music player. Would be great, thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Oliver
Okay...seems like nobody has an idea how to solve this...no problem.
You can, however, also help me by just trying it out, takes about 1 minute of your time...is nobody using the stock music player and any other player?
As Internet isn't full of complaints, i suspect that it could be a configuration specific problem with my note. I am willing to wipe it in that case, but as it is not rooted i've got to restore its current state manually after that - which might take some hours So I just want to make sure that there's a chance that wiping helps me with my problem.
Anyone? Can (or can't) you confirm my problem?
Thanks and Greetings,
Oliver
Same issue on Samsung Droid Charge

Hi,
I have had my Samsung Charge since it came out. That problem has always persisted on my device. I find it extremely frustrating as the point of a smart phone is that it is multiple devices. I would like this to be my main music player as well since it has an external 32gb SD card and so can hold quite a bit of music.
I am not a developer (I do do technical support), just decided I am trying to figure out - AGAIN - why it does this. I just downloaded a trial of PowerAmp. Don't know if this might help you figure out the problem. Power Amp shows my synced playlists from Windows Media Player not as a Playlist but as a music folder under folders. So far I have synced just one playlist as a test. In the folder in powerAmp, it is in the correct order. In the stock music player it is in reversed order.
I paused in typing, and after syncing multiple playlists at one shot, the list in Poweramp is garbled. The first try created a single folder with all the songs from the playlist in correct order. Now with the sync of multiple lists, I do have a couple like above but the rest either didn't come across or the music came across but not the playlist. The stock music player also has just some not all of the playlists I synced. The music is all in reverse order.
To me this suggest that problem is with the implementation of the sync on the device itself, given you have the same issue. My guess is it reads and writes the playlist from bottom up. I think there is also a burrering problem since it never seems to bring all my lists over and if that happens only some of the music.
Hope this helps, would like very much to know if you find a solution. Samsung is close to losing me as a customer over this. I care less about browsing and connectivity and more about multi functionality. A music player that works is important to me, and am considering an HTC or maybe even an IPhone (!!!) next time around just because of this - and my next upgrade is in 60 days. I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS SAMSUNG!!!

Hi Oliver,
Just discovered that my Amazon MP3 cloud player has all my playlists I just synced (except one) and the songs are all in the correct order. This is confounding to me as I previously had the same reversed order issue in this player. Not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that I went into the file system dorectly and deleted all the contents from themusic related folders before doing the sync for that one then multiple lists. Not sure what happened with that one list, might be related to the fact that it is a custom CD mix ( old school club music, I need the beats for running!). Am going to try syncing that list as I really like the music that's on it. This would seem to contradict my thinking above though. Seems the issue is with the Samsung stock music itself, not the sync. HTC/Apple here I come...
Galaxy stock mp3 Player
I have Samsung Fascinate and it has the same problem with stock mp3 music player. Songs on playlist are reversed. I also tried a few other players but they are not convenient.
So as previous says we can use Amazon mp3 player and widget. It works good for me. It remembers when I paused and even after reboot. So decided use it. It doesn't interfere with other programs (I use in my car navigation app - Navigon). So its very convenient listen music and have navigation.
I've been trying to find a good music player for my GSIII for a while now and I keep running into issues. My main thing is that I want it to keep track of my metadata and Gapless Playback would be nice.
First, I was using Doubletwist with Airsync. Something would seem to go wrong every week and would require me to resync something, sometimes even my whole music library (7,000 songs.) I got tired of how long this would take and abandoned Doubletwist.
Now, I'm trying iSyncr, and have had my own issues with that. It (kind of?) shows duplicates, in the form of one less than double the songs for a particular album. (example 23 songs for a 12 song album.) It only does this for the first 15-20 artists. I tried their little media storage fix, but that doesn't work. It ends up doubling what I have in that album, and gets stuck in a "Looking for new songs..." loop and freezes. The program itself constantly shows little errors like "Device failed to update playlist." and "An operation is taking a long time." I tried to email them about these issues and never got a reply.
Did someone know of a fix for iSyncr for this or any alternatives?
I'm running CM10 Nightlies on my phone with a 64GB SD card formatted for FAT 32.
My computer is running Windows 7.
My problem is happening on my phone and my wife's phone. Some of the music that we sync off of our laptops becomes duplicates and some gets split up- half of the cd in one spot and the rest in another, both with the same album art. This happened on our Lumia 822s so we sent them back and got the HTC. Both our music collections came from separate laptops and the music is all from the original store-bought cds. I've tried ripping the cds in different formats and bit rates with the same outcome. Just curious if this is a known problem or we've got isolated issues.

ya, everything checks out good. At first the music showed up where it was supposed to be. It went goofy sometime after that. Forgot to mention that before.

Just a thought, if you go settings, applications, music + video, is the connect to xbox music setting on? I ask as this setting enables it to re-organise your music (re-tagging it, album art and such from microsoft servers), and in my case can incorrectly get it wrong, and tends to split up multi cd albums by cd which isn't my preference..
If this is what you think you are experiencing then turn off the setting..

I just tried that and rebooted with no change. I might try to resync my music now with that setting off and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion and hopefully that fixes it

I started from scratch with my music with the Xbox setting off and it worked like a charm. Many thanks Chessdragon136 from me and my wife!

yeah I had the same issue myself xbox music tries to re-arrange your music update the names of songs and the album art but with me always split albums and tagged them incorrectly
Hi everyone!
For all iTunes users, i have my first android phone after depending for 3 years on my iPod, so I was using iSyncr to sync all my music and playlists to my phone (LG Optimus L9). It was working perfectly (I use PowerAmp to listen to my music) until the syncing of the playlists started to fail. I think it was after an iTunes update (but I'm not sure), I run iSyncr, select SD card as always and it starts working blah blah, the music syncs but when tries to sync the playlists it says something like this:
"Syncing Rock... Device couldn't update the playlist"
I don't know why it started to do this, I tried deleting the playlist from the SD and syncing a new playlist but it doesn't work either. It's so annoying because I depend a lot on my playlists, I have 16 gb of music and it's a mess if I don't have it ordered the way i like it xD
Anybody knows any solution to this?

You may try refreshing the Android media storage on your device using this tutorial - http://www.jrtstudio.com/iSyncr/Tutorials/HowToRefreshAndroidMediaCache
If this doesn't work, try syncing to the internal storage and seeing if this is working properly. For more advanced help, please contact me at [email protected].

I tried refreshing the media storage and not only it didn't work, but iSyncr deleted all the playlists and then it couldn't transfer the new playlists, now I don't have any of them in my phone
I think I'll do a hard reset soon and see if that works, thanks anyway

I had the same issue at one point and found out that the problem was i had flashed a mod that also disabled the media scanner. I just used a media scanner trigger app from the market and problem fixed. What rom/mods are you running?

I don't have any roms or mods. The media scanner is working, or at least the icon appears, stays for a while and then dissapears.
Solved
Hello again, I finally did a hard reset and spent all afternoon installing the apps and cofiguring the phone and everything is working perfectly. I'm doing a backup now so I have somewhere to go back to if anything weird happens again xD
