[Q] Music problems - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
This might be a quick one to answer, i hope
When using the music player, i have many folders of mp3 music from apps which i cant seem to get rid of and it makes shuffeling music awful. Is there a way to stop those files from showing in my music libary? I have 3 albums in the music folder located at root and i have 1000+ sound effects somewhere else...
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Music Player isn't working.

Hey i have only just purchased my Galaxy10 tablet, i have put a few songs on it but it still says in the 'music player' that there are 0 songs. I am able to listen to these songs individually in 'my files' but i cannot open anything else up (e.g. i cant listen to music while working on polaris office).
Is there something im missing that will easily fix this? or is it a problem with all the galaxy tabs.
Thanks, Nic.
I mentioned thi in your other post, but make sure the music is placed in where the player looks for music. I had this issue with different players looking in different folders and not showing ones the other players would. There's another suggestion in the other post, but I forget what it was. something about clearing the cache in settings/apps/music player you're using. I think.

thanks for the reply, i have tried moving my files around, still no luck. I also read the other suggestion on my other post and i cleared the cache/data of the music player and still didnt make a difference. ill continue trying to fix it though, and hopefully will eventually get it .
Thanks Heaps for putting me that one step closer, Nic.
Post what music player you're using. That will help too.

im using the one that came with it, which is 'Music Player'. I also tried using 'Winamp' but still had no success, if you know of any better apps to use for this it would be greatly appreciated.
any one have any other suggestions on what i could do to fix this problem??
It would be helpful to know where the files are located and what format they are.
Also try moving your music to /sdcard/Music.
hey, umm all my music is in .mp3 format. and the music is in 'my files/music'.
would it make a difference if i used itunes to sync the music from my pc to the tablet? (at the moment i am using 'windows media player' which is up to date)
is your tab rooted? if so, try use root explorer, find the folder and make sure there is no .nomedia file in that folder.if so, delete it and try open music player back
Shouldn't matter, no. Move it to the folder I said and see what happens. Music player is probably looking for them to be in that folder.
ssss
hey, I had the same issue. the fix is simple, go to apps--> Music player and you'll find you music there. if you open the music player in the tray on the bottom of the tablet you wont find your music.

[Q] Music App: Custom music folder selection

Hi,
I have total recall working on phone and it stores call conversations on phone, the problem is the music player also adds them in available songs
is there any way to restrict music player to look under specific folders only for songs?
or, if there is anyway I Total Recall can store files that cannot be seen by Music app (media scanner)?
To select a certain music folder yourll need a non-stock music player from the market like PowerAmp or something like that.Stock players dont give you much choice.My ROM has a call recorder but it goes where it goes so not much to say there sorry.
Ubermusic supports folder playing;-)

[Q] S-Voice and Music Control

Hey guys, I posted this in another forum, but never had any responses. I've also searched this site quickly and didn't see anything regarding this.
How well does S-Voice control music? I always play my music through bluetooth in my truck and I think it would be great to be able to change songs through voice commands. I've seen videos showing that S-Voice can start playing music, but none showing that it could actually play a specific song on request, (i.e. play *insert song here*). If S-Voice is not currently capable of doing this, would rooting the phone accomplish this with certain mods? I have never rooted a phone and I am looking forward to taking the dive with the GSIII.
And finally, when using S-Voice to play songs, will it only play through the stock music player, or could you play songs through Google Music?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help!
Hi there I assume if you make a third party music the default it would play from there but maybe not as then it wouldn't have the integration, I could test it if you like. And as far as music control goes its very good you can do loads of commands such as:
play
pause
stop
skip
then more advance commands like
play > alex claire too close
play > playlist bike songs
That is awesome... I do hope there is a way to make Google Music the default player as I much prefer streaming my music as opposed to taking up storage space on the phone.
Well I downloaded PlayerPro as I can't get Google music in the U.K (not legal anyway
) and I made it the default music player. Unfortunately even after doing this S-Voice will still open the song in the default Samsung music player.

[Q] Music player issue

Is there any way to listen music in background while doing something else (read a document, surfing on net, etc.) ? More exactly i mean is there any setting(s) for this situation or another player to install from playstore that doesn't interrupts the music while doing another thing ?
The default music player have this problem and is somehow disturbing.
Thx in advance!!
the installed music player DOES NOT stop when you are doing something in the background !!
if you somehow open a song from your "my files" folder and go to a specific song and play it and try to do something else in background it will stop
if you play direclty the installed application - Music player - and open songs from there you won't have such problems.....
all players work the same way...
it doesn't take much to be a genius...

[Q] Stupid question: Podcasts??

I apologize for the simple question, but the guides do NOT cover it. I can copy music to my "Music" folder and the music appears in the stock Music app (as well as DoubleTwist), for example. But if I copy a podcast file to "Podcasts" directory it does not appear in the default player.
How do i get this to work? The default player has no mechanism for downloading and it seems like the Podcasts directory would be the most logical place! DoubleTwist is great for playback and downloading, but in a perfect world I could use the podcasts in any player just like i can with music. Since the built-in Music app supports avrcp 1.3, I can see playback info on my BT head unit, so I'd love to have that.
Anybody figured this out? it feels like such a stupid question.
one last note: i am NOT stock, I am running Revolution HD 8.0, though this SHOULDN'T matter? Maybe something IS broken there, but in my searches elsewhere I don't see anybody else asking this question.
refresh the media library after you copy music to your device
OK, I finally got the podcasts to show up by creating a sub-directory "Podcasts" in the "Music" directory. I was hoping to get clever and create a symbolic link between the music player source and DoubleTwist (or another podcast app) so the default player would pick it up, but that doesn't seem to be an option on this phone
Thanks!
