Hi all,
Albums with multiple artists are showing in the music player (both HTC and default android) as multiple albums rather than one album.
I have tagged these correctly in iTunes with an album artist of 'Various Artists' and leaving the correct artist as the song artist.
Is this just the way android works or is it a problem with my phone? How do other people deal with this?
Cheers,
Michael
I believe it has something to do with the albumartist field and the artist field.

This is going to sound stupid/obvious, but are the files in the same folder?
I had edited my tags from the original ones to match the same album (instead of like deluxe, normal, bonus track, or whatever) and they kept showing up different. If you put them in the same folder it fixes that.
If they are, then its probably the album artist field as the other person said
All in the same folder and all have the album artist field correctly filled in. Any other suggestions?
I am using Hyperdroid on the HD2 (Android 2.3.4) and I get the same issue. The difference with me is that it used to be fine and suddenly one day, it decided all the tracks belonged in their own album...
I wonder if it's because I did an in place upgrade from the previous version of Hyperdroid, based on 2.3.3?
Anyway, will wipe my card and put it all back on, see if that cures it.
I have this issue too when I copied a music album folder into the storage card. It shows two of the same album with the 1st track showing in one album and the rest in the other.
Any solutions? Thanks!
doubleTwist player fixes it.
Tag Album artist for all the tracks with "Various artists" (or what you want) and let each artist name in Artist tag only.
This way no more multiple albums.
I had the same problem too, but after editing the ID3 information it worked fine. One tip is to set the songs in the right order like this:
Original setup:
- Song Title
- Song Title
- Song Title
- Song Title
- Song Title
- Song Title
- Song Title
"Correct" setup:
- 1.Song Title
- 2.Song Title
- 3.Song Title
- 4.Song Title
- 5.Song Title
- 6.Song Title
- 7.Song Title
The numbers won't (shouldn't at least) show up in the music player. You also want (as everyone here says) to edit the artist info using a ID3 editor.
- Artist Name: Various Artists
- Album Title: CyberKids' Awesome Mix
- Album Artist: CyberKids' Awesome Mix
- Track Title: *Don't touch this if you're editing all the songs together*
- Track(s): 7
- Track Number(s): 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, (Now it knows there's 7 songs in the album)
- Disc#: 1
- Composer: CyberKids' Awesome Mix
- Year: 2011
- Genre: Salsa
worked for me
Hi everyone!
I write down what I have found. It worked for me.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.2 on a Motorla Defy.
The key thing IS the 'Album Artist' filed. BUT you have to force the music player to rescan the song files after changing the tags. An easy way could be is to rename the album's containing folder (even changing one charater is enough). This makes the music player to scan your song files again and rearrange them by the new tags.
Try this!
(It also could be useful to find out where does the player stores the meta tags of the songs and delete that.)
Here is a useful thread i found:

Is there a fix for the music player and all players based on it so they can read the artist in ogg files? Half of my library shows "unknown artist."
Would it be possible for a developer to fix this?
I have the same problem. All my ogg file appear like "unknown artist". The Tag is OK but androïd can't see it.
Maybe a problem with text code in UTF or AINSI
Is anybody else having issues with the stock MIUI Music Player reading tags?
I can not get the music player to reliably read the tags in my mp3 files.
All of my music is tagged meticulously in iTunes. All info present along with Album Art which is embedded. All tags set to ID3 version 2.3.
No matter how I export/import the music into my Mi 4c the tags are never read correctly. The player never sees the Album Name, and always sets all Album Names to the Artist Name. It never sees the Album Art and just gets a random image from where I do not know. Probably the Mi Marketplace.
The closest I can get to have it working is to convert all my tags to ID3 version 1.0. Re-embed my artwork. Be sure the Album Artist field is empty then import. If I do this then SOME of the Album Art is recognized and most of the Album Names are set correctly. But not all. With a 20,000+ plus song library I do not want to go through the tedious task of re-tagging the songs I want on the phone so they display correctly. I really like the clean lines and simple layout of the stock music player but unless it reads these tags it is useless.
Hi, I have similar issues. All my music are ogg files tagged with EasyTag. MIUI Music Player can't read Artist Name and Album Art. Other tags are OK. VLC can read all tags without problems.
Show Title in List instead of File Name. Can MX Player do this? My videos have imbeded Titles but MX Player is listing them with just file name.

I have replied to the same question in simple question answers thread.
Number of files with proper title is very low. What's the issue in listing by name..?

The issue is that i download a lot of videos from a website of news, conferences, reports and so on. It's a large amount of videos and they give the videos file names based on the content and date released.
They tag the videos with proper titles though. So, if there is no option to list by title i have to go through and rename 100+ videos. Or use the horrible stock player which does list them by title. Obviously though i would rather use MX Player.
For example:
File Name "news_03_13_15.mp4".
Title "Typhon in Japan-Relief Efforts"
So is there a way to show the title instead of file name or not?
Nvm, i see you stated in the other thread that you would inform the developer so i guess it is not an option. That is sad.
That is like not including an option for ID3 tag listing for MP3s because people fail to include them or enter them right. Some people like organization. I once spent hours fixing hundreds of ID3 tags so that my MP3 player would scroll the Artist/Album/Year/Genre. Why not include both options? Most MP3 players i have ever used allowed you to list by filename or ID3 tag for this same reason.
I saw the option that the bult-in music player could show lyrics to my music. I used MP3tag and added tag: UNSYNCEDLYRICS with my lyrics lik that: xxx||Lyrics which was working on my computer but unfortunatelly the default EMUI music player on my Honor 8 did not show anything.
So I am asking your help kindly that how should I do it because I would like to see the lyrics of some songs when I am playing them and swiping left the album cover?
I think the default player only supports LRC files not MP3 tags.
it supports lyrics files.
but the files should be renamed to .trc issted of .lrc and should be placed in musiclrc folder in sd card
How do you even do it?!
I have an honor 8 too but dont know how to add lyrics please tell me
Here I mentioned how can you add Lyrics in Default Huawei Music player

Well. I have a question.
How can I add lyrics to a song . I mean I want to add text inside of music not a player then when I share that music or copy it in my laptop see the lyrics.
