Ok, so i really would love to fix few problems in pocket player, namely, there are a few of my songs just not playing for some reasons, they are mp3 just like all the others ripped from their discs just like the rest but just wont work, any suggestions?
also, the library seem to have a problem in common with WMP, at least for where i get songs ending up in unkown albums or artist (in wmp i also get multiple albums with the exact same name under the same artis when they really should be one album)even though they are put in the correct album/artist in my computers wmp library.
Please any suggestions what might be wrong? I have put the music on the card several times both by the phones link cable or the memory card plugged directly in to the computer.
Also feel free to suggest any good free media players, mortplayer is good, but i cant seem to find a way to get it to work in landscape mode so... otherwise its great with its changer mode and all...

TCPMP is another option, but will be good to know which ones you already tested so we can help you better
Ive tried,
WMP
MortPlayer
Pocket Player
S2P
this far pocket player is my favourite axept for the stated problems (and it could really use a change mode, switching album when the current ends), though mort is perfectly fine, except for the lack of landscape mode
(as for those few songs that wont play in pocket player, they play in the other players ive tried)

Sounds like your problem is with the files, not the players.

I think you´re right mate, perhaps the problem is how they are organized...
ok ill try those out, but if its the files that are fault isnt it strange that pocket player is the only player of both mobile and pc ones that wont play it? the others from the same discs play without problems
Can Pocket Player play AAC files?
I'm sure before I did a hard reset on my Xperia I had it playing those files. Maybe I am wrong, but it seemed to play everything from my iTunes library but the protected files, and now it plays only mp3 not m4a.

Yes it will play AAC files.
As far as not seeing or playing the other files, it could be the encoding/ripping that was done. What program did you use and how did you tag the MP3's? That will have a great impact on the result of Pocketplayer seeing and playing the files.
I personally love Pocket Player and will use nothing less. There are a lot of great apps out there, but PP has everything in it including the kitchen sink.
If you would like to try and re-rip some of your CD's I recommend you use EAC (Exact Audio Copy) with the lame format. You can google EAC and lame's latest download. Then google EAC setup and you will find a few great reads on how to set it up perfectly for what you want, even AAC if you desire.
Just my two cents.
I've had problems with songs not showing in the library or being shown in another album or artist. This was due to missing correct data in the AlbumArtist tag of the files (songs). I just updated these tags for all my songs and the library now displays them correctly. Also, some other files, like small wavs will not be included in the library if you have checked the HIDE SMALL FILES... option.

My Pocket Player did used to play my m4a files, but since I did a hard reset and have installed the latest version of Pocket Player when I load up an album that is in m4a file format, it wont play. It shows them, but wont play them, exactly as if they were protected files bought from the iTunes Store, which in the case they are not.
I've tried going back to the old version of Pocket Player, but the same problem now happens there.
I've used Missing Sync for Windows Mobile on my Mac to put the files across, and they work fine on Core Player.
It's bad enough that my Xperia wont play protected aac/m4a files without all now not playing... eek...
Upgrading to Pocket Player 4 fixed this problem.

I was going to suggest that very thing. Good to hear you got it resolved.
Hi,
somehow honeycomb can't play about half of my music files.
All of them are 128kb/s mp3 files.
Is there any solution to that / does anyone expirience the same?
I've had same issues with some of my mp3 files. All off them with the default music player. The same files however all played fine in PowerAmp.
I wanted to mention that I'm having the same issue. Even if I'm playing an album, some of the songs on the album won't play even though they all came from the same source. And it also groups the unplayable mp3s as 'unknown artist'. It's quite annoying.
I've even tried editing the tag info to make them all the same, but it still wouldn't play those particular songs.
Do you find that some of your albums get mixed?
eg: you upload an album 'S&M' Metallica into one folder and you end up with two albums! 4 in one and 16 in the other

Your ID3 tags are screwed up. Make sure the tag 'Album Artist's is set the same too.

Soughted it thanks, i used http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
I had the same problem, some of my mp3's would give me and error and could not play with any player. It was weird, it would be the same album (coverted by me) and only 2 or 3 song would play. Now since I flashed 3.1 so far so good. The ones that gave me and error, now play fine even with the stock player.

I read with some people having trouble playing mp3's of 128kbs, but they played ok with poweramp
I hope this isn't a really stupid question....but...I have a movie i ripped from a dvd, and when playing it on the phone, I cant get it to play through the speakerphone...just through the phone as if I were talking on it.....what the heck am I doing wrong?....I want speakerphone....lol.....TIA....DIrtylarry
sounds like a codec problem, what media players have you tried the file in? I'd recommend you try vplayer if you havent already.
Have you also double checked that the file played correctly on a PC? Just to confirm the file works
Maybe I should rephrase this....I can play the movie just great....looks good....sounds good etc.But I have to hold it up to my ear to hear it......I'm trying to figure out how to play it through the speakerphone so I can sit the phone down and play the movie.....not a codex problem....thanks again.....
Sorry if this was maybe supposed to be posted in another forum or thread.
Flashed with ZEUS 6, I went to listen to some songs of mine, and all the songs were blank: the song and album titles weren't there. When I pressed one of the blank songs, I got: "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file," but the player showed the name of the song. I scrolled down and saw only three playable songs with the titles and album art listed. I went to My Files and was able to play the .mp3's there, though, for some reason. Recorded video just said, "Unsupported file type." I Google'd around as much as I could, but all of the solutions didn't go pass deleting a Twitter app, something I never downloaded or had. I think it might've had something to do with uninstalling BetterBatteryStats, but I'm unsure. I'm not sure if it's something I did or the ROM, which has been pretty buggy ever since I flashed it. I rebooted the phone already, a bunch of times, and it seems like the only option I have is to flash back to stock, unless there's another solution. This started happening today.
Extra details:
All the songs are on an external SD card.
iTag and Google music also only listed those 3 songs, but PowerAmp was able to list and play them fine (I downloaded it to see if it wouldn't play those songs).
Unable to record or play recorded videos.
EDIT: I fixed the music problem. As it turns out there was something called a .nomedia file on my SD card. I deleted it, but I still can't record or play recorded videos.
Can someone try to play a .wma audio file using your audio app of choice on your Pixel 2?
I have an audio collection of almost 3000 songs that I ripped into .wma over the years that would play with a few different audio apps on my previous phones up through Marshmallow that will not work now on my Pixel 2. I even tried a few more apps and I can't find one that works now.
The few mp3 files that I have play fine through the old app I've been using for years.
Any way to make my old app work with Oreo now? Or any app for that matter?
It would take forever to re-rip all my CDs to a different format.
Thanks.

Thanks! That one does work. Even works with folder file structure.
I don't know why my old app won't play them anymore on my Pixel 2. It plays .wma fine on my old phones.

Maybe ur application not compatible with Oreo.
Even the Google Play music app won't recognize it. And the current ES File Explorer player can't play it.
Thanks.
Another solution
If you want to convert all your .wma files into another format; use iTunes. Make sure you set up itunes to your preference (to output in new format aac or mp3), load all you .wma files to iTunes and then export (or move) new formatted files.

I had the same issue, found it in Play Store under
Audio Video Music Player
developer's name is mpalaczyk
installed it and it is playing my wma folders on my Pixel 2 : SUCCESS!!
VLC can play wma's and virtually everything else, is open source, no ads, literally the go-to for a ton of us over the years. Their Android app has matured nicely as well, IMO.
Like you I once had wma's, they were at 320 kbps. If the bitrate of yours is high enough like mine were, you can get by with transcoding to mp3 using foobar2000. If the bitrate is lower say 128 kbps, don't bother, the transcoded files will sound like junk most likely.
