I purchased a Motorola Droid about a week ago and have it running to my liking except for music. I noticed that the songs I transferred onto my Droid were sorted in alphabetical order rather than by the oringial album sort. How do I change the sort from alphabetical to the original album sort?

On my HTC Legend, when I download podcasts using Listen, BeyondPod, or Dpod, the downloaded .mp3 files are not visible on the android music player widget. Nor are they visible on btunes, even if I enable the audio books/podcasts features on btunes and hard-set the sdfolder path to where the .mp3 files are stored. On the music widget, I do see an empty "podcasts" playlist, but if I tell it to update, I get a "force close" error. Any ideas?

The Motorola site offers a free download of something called "Motorola Media Link" which it claims will enable you to easily move and sync music, photos, and video between your computer and your Android phone -- it claims to work with iTunes and with Windows Media Player. Have any Phandroids downloaded and installed this? And if so, how is it working? I am getting a Motorola Droid on Friday and wonder if this download (assuming it works with Android 2.0) is a must-have for me. Here's link to the info on Motorola website: Motorola Media Link - Motorola USA

View 3 Replies View RelatedWell the problems started 3 weeks ago when i noticed whenever i move around the headphones inside the jack, the music stops or one of the ear buds stop working. so i thought it was the headphones since skullcandies don't last long. i got a new pair and listened again but it STILL HAPPENED . (btw, the phone is not rooted)
The Phone still plays media fine without the headphones, so i thought no big deal. NEW PROBLEMS started to occur. The phone would NOT PLAY Media files whatsoever. (games, music, notifications, APPS ) every time it happens i have to restart the phone.

I can get to them through choosing a ringtone, but can't delete them, and only 2 of them showed up in the music category. is there anyway to find them in the phone and make them go away??
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I download music from my computer (PC) to my motorola droid the songs for each album are put in alphabetical order rather than the original album track order.I don't see an option to reorder them any other way.Could this be happening because of the download method I use?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application that will record and play audio files. Some of the audio files are downloaded using simple standard http downloads using httpclient. It worked like a charm for a long time. Now all of a sudden I cannot play the files I download. It fails with this stack. I store the files on the SD Card and I experience the problem both on a handset and a USB connected device. I have checked that the downloaded file is cool on the server, and I can play it without any issues. These are the code snippets I use ( I know that recordingFile is a valid path for the file).
// inside the activity class
private void playRecording() throws IOException{
File recordingFile = new File(recordingFileName);
FileInputStream recordingInputStream = new FileInputStream(recordingFile);
audioMediaPlayer.playAudio(recordingInputStream);
}
Here is the media player code:
// inside my media player class which handles the recordings
public void playAudio(FileInputStream audioInputStream) throws IOException {
mediaPlayer.reset();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(audioInputStream.getFD());
mediaPlayer.prepare(); mediaPlayer.start();
}
Here is the exception:
E/MediaPlayerService( 555): offset error
E/MediaPlayer( 786): Unable to to create media player
W/System.err( 786): java.io.IOException: setDataSourceFD failed.: status=0x80000000

W/System.err( 786): at net.xxx.xxx.Downloads$1.onClick(Downloads.java:135)
I have tried seeking some answer of the offset error, but not really clear what this issue might be. I download the file with this code:
public FileOutputStream executeHttpGet(FileOutputStream fileOutputStream) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException{
try { // Execute HTTP Post Request
httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
int status = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
// we assume that the response body contains the error message
if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
ByteArrayOutputStream ostream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
httpResponse.getEntity().writeTo(ostream); fileOutputStream = null;
} else { InputStream content = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; int len = 0;
while ( (len = content.read(buffer)) > 0 ) {
fileOutputStream.write(buffer,0, len);
} fileOutputStream.close();
content.close(); // this will also close the connection }
} catch (ClientProtocolException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace();
fileOutputStream = null; } catch (IOException e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e2.printStackTrace();

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow To: Properly Sync Music To Android With MediaMonkey | RickyCadden.com from the site: Mount your phone in USB Mode to your computer, and note the drive letter that it is associated Open this drive in Windows Explorer and create the appropriate folders where you want your music stored. I have one called Music and one called Playlists, but you can do this however you want. Now launch MediaMonkey, and make sure it shows your phones memory card in the left sidebar (separately from the MyComputer option) In MediaMonkey, click on Tools up top, then choose Options and go down to Portable/Audio Devices Uncheck *all* of the plug-ins except d_USBMass1.dll Highlight d_USBMass1.dll and click on the Configure button to the right Choose the Device Configuration tab in the dialog box that popped up In the middle of this tab, youll see a box called Device Name, which is where youll type the name of your phone (mine is NexusOne)Below this, choose the appropriate drive letter from the drop-down Below this, enter a Drive Label (again, mine is NexusOne)Leave the USB Device ID box empty and dont click the Find Device button While you have this dialog box open, you can tinker with the other tabs, if you want. This is where you can specify a folder hierarchy and adjust your sync settings. I would recommend creating a small playlist (~15-20 tracks from various artists/genres/albums) to test with you dont want to do a full sync only to realize you dont like your sync settings. This guide is better because it allows for the use of smart playlists and has much fewer steps than if you use winamp.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi tried all the apps (doubletwist, isyncr etc.) but i found it to be easier just copying the music folders into my phone ; just like i do on itunes. i was just wondering if i drag a folder in to my phone when its already in there, will it copy twice? i.e i have a folder for singles that i download off sites like hotnewhiphop & when i only download one song i drag it to that folder. so will i be able to constantly drag that folder on to my phone every few days & will it only update the new songs or will it multiply every song - everytime i do this.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAfter hours of hit and miss using programs like Double Twist etc. I found that the easiest way to sync music to the iHTC Music player is to use Windows Media Player and buy Album Art Grabber to load the album art. Once you have done the initial sync with WMP you can go back and load individual albums simply by dragging them to the sync area. Connect your phone to the PC and unmount the SD card Open WMP and click the sync tab. Click the drive that represents your SD card (mine was H You will be prompted to sync everything for either this session or all sessions. (I always click this session only). Works great and all I will need in the future!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got a ton of music on my SD card in my phone, approx. 6.5GB worth on an 8GB card. The problem is, the music players in Android (I've used the default, RockOn and MixZing, though I want to stay with MixZing) only recognize about 80% of the music, in their libraries. The thing is, the music is there! If I browse to the folder and launch the file it will play, but there's no artist/title data, even though all the files are properly tagged (mp3s), plus, it opens in a weird verion of the default music player that will stop playing if it loses focus.
This has been a issue ever since I got this phone. It's a brand new SD card (my previous one, in addition to this problem, had major corruption issues; I originally thought it was the card but I guess that's not the case). Also, I've gone through two different ROMs (one when I first got the phone, and a second that I upgraded to about a month ago), so I don't think that's the issue. It seems to affect random folders (albums) at different times, whenever the library is refreshed, but I can't refresh the library manually (that I've found) to see if it's just not scanning those files, or if it's a more underlying issue. I'm stumped
