Is there a modification to music player on the touchflo to allow you to find music easier? I have all my music on my sd card and it does find my music no problem but I am so used to finding my music through the card itself and not by the player. So when I want a specific song I have to scroll very carefully for a long long time. Is there a way to make a tab in the music library that goes straight to like file explorer or something like that? Or at least a search on the side like how it is with your contacts tab where it shows the letters in the alphabet?
I don't know a programmed solution for you but if you use the right album and artists IDs then it shouldnt be that hard to find the songs.
Then u can create playlists with the tracks u like and then u can play the playlist as default if u set up everything the right way.
I've got rather a problem in being unable to play any music with the built in tab player since I added the last 3GB of my favourice music (just the best ).
The player won't move an inch, so I had to use a different player (now Core) but I also would like to use the bulit in stuff - any suggestions ?
So I am using an HTC Evo running Android 2.2 with HTC Sense.
I am trying to set up some playlists in the stock music player.
Creating the playlists in the music player is pretty straight forward. The problem is some of the song titles are too long to read on the screen. It doesn't have a landscape mode either, so that doesn't help.
I have friends who are musicians, and I have a lot of their music on my phone. They will give me, for example, a 4 disk set with 20 songs per disk and each song will be named SquishFunkJamsWinter2010Song5Disk2.
If I put the whole folder for each disk in a playlist, it defaults to putting song 10 before song 1, and the order is all weird. And when I try to change the order of the playlist, I can't read the end of the name because it's too long.
Does anyone know of a good app that will let me create or edit playlists and will work in landscape, or at least let me scroll over to read the end of the longer file names?
Also, does anyone know where the stock HTC music player stores the playlists that it creates?
I am looking for a way to do this on the phone, not a computer...
For those of you who have had these problems (which is a number of you, as I found out after a quick search), I had the same problems and found a solution after tinkering about. The alternative, deleting all old music and resyncing, often still gave me problems so I'm hoping this will be helpful. If anyone has found a more elegant solution, please share it.
Step 1: Create a NEW Playlist in iTunes WITH A UNIQUE NAME THAT YOU HAVE NEVER USED BEFORE.
This is important. For whatever reason, the music player will assume a playlist with a name you've used in the past is already synced and it will ignore it. It also has to be a NEW playlist, not an old playlist that you rename. I used "Test1", "Test2", etc. Don't worry, you'll be able to change it to something else later.
Step 2: Add one song to the playlist that you do not actually want in the playlist.
Again, important. When you sync in the next step, the playlist that appears in google music won't contain the song you added.
Step 3: It may take a minute or so for the playlist to appear in the list of playlists to sync; wait until it is visible and then sync the playlist with google music manager.
Step 4: Wait for the Playlist to appear in google music. It will appear as an empty playlist.
Step 5: Remove the song from the playlist in iTunes and wait for the playlist to disappear from the list of playlists to sync in google music manager before syncing the playlists.
Empty playlists are not recognized as syncable so they will eventually disappear from the list of playlists that you can sync.
Step 6: Add ANOTHER song you do not actually want in the playlist
Again, when you resync in the next step, the song will not appear in the playlist on google music.
Step 7: Wait for the playlist to appear in google music manager, and then resync.
Step 8: After the playlist appears again in google music, add all the songs you actually want in the playlists, and sync the music manager.
You might have to sync a couple times and/or wait a couple minutes, but eventually, you will see that the songs are being added to the playlist in google music.
Step 9: After your songs are added, you can rename the playlist both in iTunes and in Google Music. It will still sync properly if you add and/or remove songs from it.
This is really annoying issue that keeps happening ..over and over and over again. Is there no solid fix? Anyone confirm this working without occurring again?
Thanks for posting this but I've tried this and it doesn't appear to work. I get all the way down until the part where I add the music I want on the playlist but my playlist doesn't sync.
Question though, your instructions miss out what to do with the last song you add to your playlist that you don't actually want on the playlist. Should this be deleted before I add the songs I do want on the playlist or after? Also, do I require do to this for all my playlists that have the duplication issue?
The duplication issue is driving me insane. So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I also have this issue. I have 3 or 4 songs duplicated in my library. So annoying.
Has anyone tried third party apps like DupeOut?
Still a bloody issue! Fix this **** google it's horrible
Yep...still happens. Solution above helped for a while, then back to this crap again.

My Google music manager would upload the songs, upload the playlist name, but the playlist remains empty. This only started the beginning of this month and its driving me nuts! I use itunes to upload the playlists and I have un and reinstalled both itunes and music mananger several times hoping to solve the issue.
Can anyone shed some hope onto my problem?

This is the same problem I'm having. Google Music Manager will upload all my songs as well as upload the playlist name, but in Google Music, the playlist will remain empty.
Google Music Manager is such a buggy app and has been from the beginning!

Same here. I have tried removing all music and playlists online, clearing app data on my phone and tablet, uninstalling music manager and all preferences and files, created new playlists in iTunes and re-added the songs (even removed all music from iTunes and re-imported it), rebooted, re-installed music manager and tried to upload things again, everything uploads but my playlists are *STILL* empty. I have tried this from Mac Mavericks and even Windows 8.1. It was working perfectly fine a couple weeks ago, wonder if Google updated something that broke the playlists from populating. I sent them an e-mail, but haven't heard anything. Granted, it's a free service and you get what you pay for, it's frustrating to see a service with such great potential fall short because of a few bugs. I kind of wish they would come out with their own offline music player that would interface directly online, so I can get rid of iTunes once and for all!
My itunes recently lost all playlists and I was wondering if I could take the synced playlists from either my phone or my google music profile...I know I could do it manually but I'd rather simply find the .pls files. Does anyone know a good way to go about doing that. I should note that some of the playlists were put into my phone using isyncr
Hello,
So I've always managed my music through iTunes, just because it's the easiest for me to use and all of my music is already there. I've recently found out that you can export playlists from iTunes to android phones (File->Library->Export PLaylist-> select .m3u format...). However, not all of my playlist is present when I look at it on the phone. It seems to be capped at 55 songs, which I thought was some weird setting but I realized there wasn't any rhyme or reason to the songs it was choosing to view. They were from the same albums, but the order in which it chose the albums was miscellaneous. I checked, and it isn't the app (Google Play Music), because I tested with Rocket and the stock samsung music app aswell. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know, this is really annoying!
Thanks!
