MP3 tags - hella annoying! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got some songs in an album. But my favourite music player doesn't seem to be detecting them as all coming from the same album. So i've got 2 albums now...
I used id3fixer app and it fixed great an album for me, but not this one.
How can i fix this?

Do you want to fix this directly from your phone or PC? (i'll tell you what i use for both anyway ) I always change my ID3 tags on my lappy with mp3tag, works like a charm.
when i have had wry music tags on my phone, i've used iTag - music tag editor from the play store.

Is that the file name or the ID3 tag? Change both if you have to. For me i categorize my tunes with a bracket system, ie: (Albums) , (Dance) , (HipHop).
Also for me the actual file name is more important and most players will read that first if you tell it to.

R: MP3 tags - hella annoying!
I just discovered....all players using android libraries for playing music (double twist included) cant read that file not being associated with all others (vlc does read it thou)...')could that be why?

Transferring music to my galaxy

I'm a converted iPhone/iTunes user. This is my first android phone. What's the easiest way to get my music out of iTunes onto my Galaxy?
Thanks.

If you just use google music and download the music manager, from there choose the file folder for your iTunes library and google music will upload it all. You can just use google music to stream only, or you can make it available offline and download the music

Or you can just copy and paste your music folder onto the phone.
Then there are also other sync options like DoubleTwist which is very similar to iTunes (don't use it myself but it's known to be like an iTunes for Android if you're into that sorta thing)
search for iSyncr in the Market

I just transfered my library like this, but the tags are all messed up. The tags are fine on my iDevices, just the Galaxy. Specifically the Albums are split up. They show up as different albums even though they have the same name.
Mine show up fine. Although I am pretty meticulous on editing my tags in iTunes. Could be that there are different entries for the Artist and Album Artist.
I just copied and pasted. The only thing lost from iTunes to the phone was album artwork. Which is slightly annoying but, something I can live with. I tried using kies to do it that was a mistake though.

I just switched over to CM7, and the same music folder is showing up fine. Maybe it was just the stock rom.

Yeah. I'd rather just use Windows explorer.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Yeah windows explorer is the best way to go. When I tired kies it was.to see if I would keep the artwork. None of the tags stayed at all. So I had to delete and use windows explorer again.

I made a playlist for my galaxy in iTunes then synced the playlist to Doubletwist. It copied the playlist over minus some artwork. I've got the artwork now. All is well.

I use iSyncr, the best app you can get to sync all of your iTunes playlist (every single one off them). I also came from an iPhone and at the beginning had difficulty finding an app that would provide all the functions itunes had from the music aspect.
Try it.

[Q] Missing Songs from Music Library

Hi everbody.
I have Sensation with Android 2.3.5 right now. And there is a problem I couldn't solve and find any solution about it.
Some of my musics don't show up on library no matter which music player I use. These songs don't have any particular property that can cause it. Half of the songs of same album or different bitrates or same bitrates or same tags or different tags. It's just mixed at all.
I can see and play these songs using file explorers.
Different roms don't change anything either. Sense or CM.
Deleting and copying music files again or tagging again didn't solve.
Formatting SD card didn't solve.
Deleting cache of MediaProvider.apk didn't solve.
Changing file manes or folder didn't solve.
I use cover art downloader to refresh mediastore everytime but it doesn't stick.
I'm tired of it.
I'm open to the ideas...
What is the format of your songs that can't play normally?

MP3. To clear things up, they play normally but don't show up on libraries of music players. After I trig scanning they show up. After some hours they dissapears from libraries again.

I don't have this problem. I have up to 22mb mp3, 512kbps bitrate, mp3 or flac format.. btw, I use Google music.
If you try to search the music using search option in music app, will it work?

Mines are V0 Mp3 and their size are up to 15 MB. Average is 8 MB. Totally 1567 songs.
Search can't find them either because they're not included in library.
Btw, there are people who have that problem on the net. Even on Google forums(I don't know exact name) after long conversations still no solution as far as I read.
So no one has any clue?

Tried an hour ago, it added the missing songs to the library. Just came back to check if it's still ok but no luck. They dissapeared again.
unfortunatly I am kinda having same problem but I think mine is a bit more irritating. ever since I updated to gingerbread on my thunderbolt all and I mean all my music was misscatigorized, band names changed ,song names changed. it appears that the only ones that didnt change were one that had all info even album art. even newly downloaded songs are misscatagorized. im considering deleting the stock player all together . who the hell has the time to go threw and re name everything or re download .

music player that only scans selected folder

i listen to audiobooks on my phone too and currently using winamp but it lists all the audiobook files as well as the my music tracks which is a bit annoying. tried stock player which has the same behaviour.

Power Amp. You can select the folder for your mp3 and it will scan only them.

There are other options too.
MIXZING for example it has both the functions that you need.scan a particular folder as well as play by folder.
U can give it a try but nothing beats power amp.using it from a long time.if you can afford it just go for it.
Edit: mixzing is free

unfortunately i can't afford poweramp but I'll give mixzing a try, thanks

Try ttpod
download free from play store,offers lyrics and many more features.
I’m using MusiXmatch, very good player on its own, it can also run as a service and detect the lyrics when you’re using another player.
It has also Shazam/soundhound-like recognition features.
use playerpro...
i finds lyrics and even tags it to the mp3

+1 for MusiXmatch.
I have tried many, and MusiXmatch is the one I kept. I like its simplicity, lack of annoying social feature, excellent lyrics database. The only thing I would like to see added is highlighted lyrics. TuneWiki does it, using the same lyrics database I believe, but is annoying as hell trying to shove its social interaction all the time.
Hint: use lucky patcher to remove ads.
+1 for PlayerPro. Best part is that you only download lyrics you wanna know, not every single song you play (saves alot of battery).
I am using TuneWiki. Have tried also MusicXmatch. Prefer the first one
PowerAmp player + musicx match lyrics pluggin is a good combo, poweramp is the best player out there ,lots of options ,even amplifies audio out...

PlayerPro. You can search lyrics for a song you like and save them. Also, you can search for album art (unlike MusiXMatch) and many other great features.

Minilyrics is the only application which can provide lyrics for all the bollywood and hindi songs. So far i haven't come across any music player other than this which supports bollywood song lyrics.
i used tunewiki when i first got my G1. so go with that.

Yup, that so true. However Minilyrics is a barebone app. There is nothing more you can do with it.
Please give the instructions!!

[Help] mp3 thumbnails

So the problem is with the mp3 thumbnails.
I used "mp3tag" on the computer to add thumbnails to songs.
So on the computer I can see any song's thumbnail when I launch it with Music Player but when I put all the songs on my Galaxy S2's memory card and play it, the player always show's the same thumbnail..
It take's the thumbnail from the first song and always show's it no matter what song I choose to play..
I tried the stock music player, doubleTwist and Rocket Player and all of them do the same..
All the song's are mp3 and the tag is "ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3)"
Samsung Galaxy S2, ROM: WanamLite v13 (4.1.2)
I get this, I get the same one or two thumbnails across many many tracks which is annoying. I would rather the same Samsung one all the way through tbf!
