same problem

what software did u use to convert all your library to wma?

,

i also have the same problem, and Im just so desperate to find an answer for it...

i think this solution works, but i have no idea how to convert my library to wma
[HD2 General] ivo34:
the only that you need to do is to transfer the music to your hd2 only with windows media player via active sync,but first:erase completely the music map in you sd card,make a copy of the sd,format the sd with the phones program(you kan found under windows start>tools)put back all to the sd and make a new music map,ready!!you can start to transfer music!!I have a 16gb sandisk with more than 1600 tracks in mp3 and aac and no problems any more!I speak spanish to so, if you want you can make a private question if you need some help,saludos:)
[HD2 General] NathanRandom:
I had a similar problem to this where it would stop playing a song after a few seconds then refuse to play anything else. I can't remember the exact program I used, but to fix it I ran an MP3 error checker through my music library, which fixed some corrupt files that were preventing the rest from playing. Has worked fine since I did it about a month ago.
[HD2 General] cadorna:
You can use Switch Audio Converter (free on basic mode, but works fine)from http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html or dBpoweramp from http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ (15 days trial, but faster than the other).
[HD2 General] cadorna:
I tried this before, but it didn't work for me. Only conversion to .WMA format solved the problem.

Thanks anyway.

Hi

I Have the same problem with Manila's Music Player...

but there is a thing and that is that I have changed all my music tags with a specific program (Mp3Tag I think...). the question is do I have to make all tags again if I convert all of my MP3's to WMA?

and I have another problem which is so annoying indeed!!!

if I hadn't have any phone calls since my last soft reset there is no problem but when I make a phone call or answer an incoming call after finishing the call when I lock the screen while listening to a track the music pauses after about 3 seconds!!! and actually it is independent from listening music with sence music tab or Windows Media Player !

both has same problem...

is there any solution???
[HD2 General] cadorna:
First, try to convert all your library to WMA format, tags will not be lose. Try downloading Switch Sound File Converter from http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html, it is free.

Maybe, this process solve the last problem explained about shutdown music after calls.
[HD2 General] loomx:
Im sorry, converting to WMA just is not a solution, you shouldnt have to, the player can play MP3s, and so it should play them well. Mine has only recently started doing this (latest energy rom) it has never done it before :(
[HD2 General] -beijinger-:
Guys, I am having the same problem.

Converting files to wmv is the last solution I suppose!

Damn htc makers should make a solution for this like what they did for the pink point in the camera.

Why should we do the conversion?

It's a crazy time killing job!

Sometimes I regret buying hd2 really!

It sucks in some ways, specially this annoying error in music player.
[HD2 General] ricka1:
After a little playing around this weekend, I think the problem is that the music player (AudioManager_en.exe) has a fundamental memory leak. If you monitor it in dotFred's Task Manager you see the memory allocated to the application grow to around 20MB as it starts playing.

If it reaches that amount of allocated memory then you first hear the music stuttering as it stuggles to grab new memory for the next segment of the track it is playing. You hear skips and glitches typical of digital sounds skipping. Then at around 21MB the track refuses to play. You then get the symptoms that any chosen track just plays for 10 secs and then stops.

The only way I have found to stop this behaviour is to limit the number of tracks in the library. Around 260-270 seems to be the limit (around 3GB of files). Keeping to this limit allows me to add any music (even genres with characters such as "&" that other people claim cause problems), using any method (I just copy via USB straight onto the memory card).

Perhaps someone else could test this 'number of tracks limit' theory and see what works for them. It may be function of the amount of meta data and cover art as well so you mileage may vary !

PS. There is also another bug in that it always takes the last item of cover art in the music file - a bit of a problem if you have the back cover stored in the MP3 file as well as the front cover !
[HD2 General] ronzogonzo:
I have had a similar problem with the music players. The WMP was pretty much useless. Locks up, freezes and crashes. The HTC player would take forever to load and then play ok as long as I didn't try to forward or go to the library or anything else, it would take forever to respond or just lock up.

I solved the problem by completely re-editing all the tags in my library one at time using Amazon's data base. I have 700 plus songs in my library.

I had previously done my tags inserting the original air date when most data bases use the air date of the CD. I had read on other forums where people had solved these types of issues by correcting tag issues and even being specific to the CD date, and track # of # of tracks. I even put Disc 1 of 1, Disc 1 of 2 etc., just to have as much correct and specific info on the tag as possible. Once I did that, I had Itunes reorganize my library on my pc and then I transferred the library from the Music/Itunes/ItunesMusic/Music folder to the HD2. The reason for this is that Itunes creates an Artist specific folder and then places the albums by that artist in that particular folder. This gives your library even more specific directories which seems to help immensely. Well it did for me. If you try this approach, be sure to check the artist files first and don't copy any you don't want on your phone such as podcasts, audiobooks, voice memos, etc.

Took about 2 weeks but since then, I'm having no issues with the HTC player and WMP is better but will still occasionally freeze and crash so I just don't use it. At this point, I'm thinking maybe the WMP could be a bit corrupt and maybe it'll correct itself if/when I get bored and decide to try a few different ROMS and reflash. So right now, as long as I use the HTC media player for my music and a few videos, all is well and I was never a big WMP fan anyway. Never use it on my computers either. hope this helps. ;)
[HD2 General] jjollyroger:
for those who have a slow opening of the music player tab , here I found the solution

[HD2 General] Charlo:
FIX!

All you need to do is delete all your music from your phone. Make sure the albums you are adding does not have any pics or album art with it.

You can add those later...
[HD2 General] thenomadsoul:
Does the new music hotfix solve this problem?

I also have the problem of music lagging after an intense use of the music player...
[HD2 General] javaheri1:
I have the same issue. Let me know if you were able to solve it and how?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] ricka1:
Just a quick follow-up, I installed the stock O2 ROM upgrade last week (ROM 1.72.206.3 (86372) WWE, Radio 2.07.51.22_2, Manila 2.5.20121429.0, no hotfixes) and everything seems to be working correctly with the Music Player.

I can now load any of my music files and the player correctly indexes them and extracts the correct album art from the MP3 file (and some have 6 x 100KB+ covers embedded in them). I've not changed the files at all, did not update ID3 tags, loaded them via both ActiveSync and direct USB to the storage card, and all worked correctly. And whilst it can take some time for the app to rebuild the library, at no time does the memory utilisation go above 3MB.

So it looks like the HTC devs fixed the software bug ! :)
[HD2 General] idol42002:
simple selustion

Hello guys!

here is the simple selution to fix the problem.

1. back up your sroreg card.

2. format it with the HTC phone

3. now. buily directories with no more then 50 mp3 files in one directory

4 from time to time get in to the liberery from the HTC player so it could recognize the files and built the liberery.

this will work!
[HD2 General] steve_bubble:
Music issues

I've been interested to read all the possible fixes listed here and may try some of the ones that don't involve converting from mp3's.

The only way so far that i've found to enable problem free music - is to put the phone into airplane mode - this also stops my HD2 calling the last person I had previously phoned! Not ideal. I think it's the way the phone prioritizes data - giving a higher priority to data connections!

Next attempt to fix will be formatting the card using the phone, rather than my pc....
[HD2 General] NathanRandom:
I had this exact same problem and it droves me nuts. I eventually used an mp3 error checking program, ran it through my entire library and it had it fix any problems. Haven't had any trouble since.
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:

[HD2 General] LordDeath:
This problem is really caused by the audiomanager_eng.exe process. As soon as its RAM usage goes beyond the 22,x MB music will start to stutter or stop after a few seconds.

Killing the process may help so every time a soft-reset is not necessary but this problem still sucks. :mad:
[HD2 General] steve_bubble:
I meant to pop back and say - after using the phone's format function and reloading my mp3's I've had no more problems with stuttering music or random calls to people!

Hope this works for you!
[HD2 General] gushinam:
Just went to the above mentioned link selected US from the countries. Made hard reset and installed the above mentioned hotfix stright after that. Worked for me. Everything is working as it should be now. Thank you very much.
[HD2 General] fucc:
do you have found any solution for this problem? I've tried all the things mentioned in this thread...but nothing.

starting from scratch, the player loads the songs and I can see all them sortend by album, singer and so on. but after a while, nothing is showed...and I can also listen only 3/4 seconds of a song.

Really don't know how to solve!!!
[HD2 General] LordDeath:
Just boot Android on your HD2 and use its music player with standard mp3 files. ;)
[HD2 General] Lynehammike:
I used MP3Tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/) which is freeware, to run through my entire MP3 collection and change the tag format. If you change all of the formats to ID3 v2.4 then the sense music player should detect them all.

To bulk change all of the format, you can change the settings to only write ID3 v2.4 format. Then select a batch of songs and press the remove tag button. Finally, press the undo button and the program will rewrite the tags in the right format.

I followed this and sense stopped crashing. Hope it helps.
[HD2 General] fucc:
damn...that's the problem!!! I've used the program and all is ok now. I've also moved songs individually and I've found "who" has created the problem...and that song was with the 1.1...

a very "stupid" error made by the player...thanks for the help!!!
[HD2 General] Gidders:
I've just bought an HD2 off ebay and was also having this problem.

Running my MPs files through and error checker, a number of them failed but installing the latest stock ROM upgrade from the HTC website 3.14.405.2 and it now plays the files fine even though they still have tag errors :)
[HD2 General] frater:
Whenever my HD2 is unable to fetch the GPS-location the weather tab gives me the completely useless info about the weather in Aarhus. I assume it even takes bandwidth to get this info.

Why can't I give a "default location"?

To whom should I turn to to give this feedback....?

Or am I missing something?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaReDeViL:
Hi everybody

Here am I again with a new advice for all of you how are addicted to flashing their phones with latest roms, I discovered a way to flash the phone a little bit faster :

instead of going to bootloader by pressing downvolume and power while the phone is off, you have to use the utility enterbootloader.exe (which you must copy to your SD and then run) => the phone will restart all alone in bootloader mode BUT will flash faster than the other way !!!!!!!!

DON'T ASK ME WHY !!!! I've tested it several times and I don't have any explanation. maybe the cookers may help us understand ?

Bye
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Overloaded:
Sure..

You only have 12 post here, and we should believe you?

I wouldn't trust it.

And when i flash my rom i have plenty of time.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaReDeViL:
:) :) :)

I dindn't expect better than this answer. No problem my friend. I didn't ask for any donation or charity. Just wanted to share what I discovered (I didn't invent it).

Anyway, try the two methods (as you have plenty of time) and see by yourself.

PS : The file attached can also be found along with 99% of available cooked roms ... ;)

Bye

PS n°2 : Is there a way to judge people by the number of posts they read instead of the number of posts they wrote ?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ramcid:
googy_anas, at least your increasing your post count, you maybe taken seriously yet :D As for me I have now increased my post to 18, so maybe only a few of you may take my comments seriously, but that’s ok because I will make useless comments until my post count is high enough to be taken seriously!

1 useful post is better than 200 useless posts.....

Quality, not Quantity ;)

Thanks for your input googy, I will try it out next time I flash a new rom. Please don’t let this stop you from sticking around the forums, reading and posting.

Edit: And Cooking!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaReDeViL:
thanks for your kind words

anyway my first step in cooking is about to be done : I've downloaded WM6.5.3 23541 for osKitchen and will begin with simple and clean builds. My only problem is I don't know where to find the complementary packages manila, htc, tools .... (or may be I have to extract them from another rom) ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Yes, perhaps I should have clarified my statement.

@Googy,

MOST here would not judge you on your post count and you should not be afraid to share anything that helps the community.

There are many senior members here only because they post crap like "flashing now", "thanks for the ROM" , "blah, blah, blah" that doesn't offer anything.

Do not be offended and do not be discouraged.:cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
BeeGee Tokyo hosts many packages on his server.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaReDeViL:
Here I am again, I've managed to build my first clean rom based on 23541 by using osKitchen and successfully flashed the two versions I built (French and WWE). It's soooooooooo smooth and faaaaaast !!!! wow I'm impressed !

I also extracted the packages of the official 2.53 rom but when I include them in my build, the phone is blocked after the first initialization (after the htc logo animation). can't understand why .... can anyone help ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
You should post your build log in the forum where you downloaded your kitchen from. Whoever supports that kitchen would be able to view it for any conflicting packages.

Otherwise it is best to load one package at a time until you find the culprit.

That is why cooking a good ROM is hard, because of the trial and error and repeated flashes and testing, very time consuming.

Some things to consider;

Page Pool settings (20mb seems to work well)

Mort Script (for AutoInstall functionality)

Themes (Max Manila is the best)

Other general tweaks to optimize the performance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaReDeViL:
thank you for your support

actually, i'm rebuilding the rom without manila but keeping all the standard htc apps. i'll give some feedback in a few minutes ....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaReDeViL:
So actually, my test rom starts with manila enabled but it's full of bugs

the os itself is running as it should .... i think there's something with the packages i extracted from the stock rom !
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaReDeViL:
I give up !!!!!!!! :(

cooking needs good skills and too much available time (I don't have one of the two ;) )

next time i'll stop to say thanks to any cooker i use his rom, now that i know it's not as simple as it seems !!!!

bye
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Dirk:
Thank you for sharing and good luck with the cooking.

I don't believe post counts have much to do with anything and it's always nice to learn something new. I tend to be skeptical of everything until i have researched it to death, but i'd rather be skeptical of something than not know about it in the first place :)

Just wanted to report back after using a little today. Good. I know it is in alpha version- and that you have plans to develop it a lot further. so it is still a little buggy of course (minimize and the music stops or it closes completely, freezes). But here are some pluses.

1. Free (I am sure donations are welcome)!

2. You can actually search for songs.

3. It actually populates a list and play the song you select.

Very good and looking forward to your further development. Thanks for sticking with it.
