Hi I download all of my music from YouTube and I don't have any albums tags cause I don't feel a need for them. Anyway I have over 2000 songs and I put them in a "Music" folder on my SD card and Google music makes that the album name for all my music. If I take the music out of the folder, the album gets called "sdcard1". My question is, is there a way to make it not have any album name to avoid having to click twice of this screen of the artist? I'd just like it to show me all songs from that artist, not the albums to choose from then see all the songs. Thanks!
This what I mean:
Hi there,
Sorry for this late response. A simple reboot fixes the issue but I believe it has more to do with the Play Music App itself and less to do with the phone. I have not found a permanent fix, but I have however notice the issue is more prevalent when connecting and disconnecting Bluetooth Audio or connecting or disconnecting headphones with built in controls.
Maybe asking in the bellow threads will give you more answers related to this issue:

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the best forum to post this, but here goes.
I use Windows media Player on my WM6 phone, well Duttys 6.1 actually, but i don't think that will change anything.
I know its not generally the preferred player, but I like it. Anyway, my question, is there a way to tell it to ONLY scan a specific folder to add media to the library, or does it have to always scan then entire memory card.
The thing is, I use my TyTN II as my portable MP3 player, so I have alot of music stored on my memory card, but I also have newsbreak download all my pod casts to my memory card too, and media player adds these podcasts to the library too.
So is there a way I can tell it to just scan my Music folder so these other audio files don't get mixed in with my music library.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
ps. if your solution is 'use a different player' please don't bother.
thanks...
Has nobody any idea's.
Even a 'No, give it up' would be better than nothing.
I will like to know too also a way to keep my radio streams easy to play
Bump, this is actually a good one. It's such a hassle when you add one or two songs or videos and then have to tell WMP to update and watch it re-read and re-add 500 files. I have a 4GB micro and that can take awhile!
Please, somebody, anybody.....
Make playlists that is what I do. I have oodles of audio books on my memory card and to avoid them get scrambled in when I shuffle I just load a playlist.
As for the using a 2nd media player I do that also when I don't want to load navigate to find the playlist and change settings from shuffle to consecutive playback. I just use HTC Home with HTC Audio manager for in a hurry playback of music. Hope this helps.
Edit: Just wanted to add I decided to play with WMP a little more after posting and fund that If you use the ID3v1/ID3v2 tags and sort that way it is really useful too. But to simplify a solution again I recommend a playlist. You can create and edit you playlists right on the phone. If your tags are accurate you can make a proper playlist in no time.
Playlists are the things I really wanted to avoid, I add and remove songs and albums pretty much everyday and having to recreate the playlist everytime seems silly.
Thanks for the contribution though.
Hello members of XDA, Im new so forgive me if I post this in the wrong area.
im looking to develop a certain Android app, essentially, its a media player that is able to recognize samples of a song, isolate it, and allow you to search for other songs that sample it.
I have NO idea what I would need for this, I figure it would have to be a database of some sort along with a script or code in the app that can tag it, the problem is I know very little on how MP3s are built or how I can possibly do this without having the program actually look through the song itself. Also, it would have to be able to function as a off-line media player (granted without the sampling feature).
Thanks for any help
Just to clarify, its not like how Shazam hears a song and gives you the name, it would work based on some sort of tagging system.
Start off by using/understanding SoundHound as a base and progress from there...SoundHound has the ability to recognise, identify and tag a (incl lyrics) part of any song but it uses an online DB as reference. You then have the option to purchase that song from Amazon (or other online music store) or the entire album blah blah...so IMHO, this is a good place to start.
Hi, I hope I'm not posting in the wrong forum.
I'm searching for a music radio app that could perhaps recommend songs to me not only based on the genre but by whom I'm listening to most recently, and recommend hit songs by that artist. Even better if it could do this while streaming music, basically a music radio that's personalizing a playlist for me simultaneously. Does any such app exist yet? Thanks!
I need help refreshing playlists on my SG3 (SGH—747) Android 4.4.2.
I create three podcast playlists on my PC daily, e.g.
Playlist.m3u the contents of which are typically: extSdCard\Music\Podcasts\The John Batchelor Show\JBS_150707A.mp3.
I FTP the playlists and the MP3s to my S3 on a daily basis.
The issue I am trying to resolve is that some of the podcasts listed in the playlists are duplicated. I have an app that deletes duplicates in playlists.
I have tried deleting the cache; deleting the data; and force stopping the media player in the system apps utility, before and after I ftp the updated playlist. Sometimes it works, and sometime it doesn’t.
There must be a location on my phone that stores the playlists (other than in my “\memory card\Playlists\” folder where I keep all of my playlists, so that the image of a deleted playlist is retained, and then combined with the new playlist?
I cannot find any app that would simply update (all) the playlists while disregarding the way the playlist looked yesterday.
Where can I go to find any possible answer? Or, How can I better phrase the question to find an answer?
Thanks for your help.

Hello, i have a pretty messy music library with few tags set just a bunch of songs thrown together in a folder due to multiple migrations etc. I just execute Linux commands to look for mp3 files and send them all to one folder since its the easiest method.
I wonder if there is a player that displays the images that are inside of each music file instead of selecting the one in the first one and set it all as one single album and has audio balance.
To illustrate I can have separate songs with their album image attached inside my folder for 100 songs but my music player using the built-in music library feature of Android select the first song and use that image as the album image for all the songs when the album tag is unspecified. There are players which, however, does not do this and respect what image is attached to the song. An example is the music player for Huawei Honor. But I have recently gotten hearing issues and I need a player that does this with audio balance, which the Huawei one doesn't.
All tips that might help is appreciated as always. I have tried players like Shuttle and Blackplayer without luck so far.
I guess I will get comments such as "Just clean up your tags" but I'm not the type to tag songs as I tend to listen to a bunch of less-known electronic artists that are not really possible to locate in any music identification database (I'm sure it has your pop, rock and classics though...) The reason I have gotten rid of the tags over time is because I got a lot of ugly albums containing only one to around five songs depending on the EP.
EDIT: its worth noting that it might work to make a seperate folder for all the individual songs, but that sounds like a horrible fix to me.
I'm sure somebody can relate to my situation, it is not easy to dig through the mess of music apps out there.
Hi,
I suggest asking for opinions here,
Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly]
Or just searching Google Play store for different music players and try some out.
Good luck!
