Galaxy S5 :: Samsung Not Reading Artist Name For Only 21 Tracks Out Of 1300+
Sep 27, 2015
So I've been using file properties and windows media player to organise my music library and after the initial struggle of changing from iPhone to Samsung the last 10 months have been a breeze. Last week I decided to play around with some of the album art for albums that were showing up blurred in my lock screen. After changing a lot with Album Art Grabber, none of the current offending files, I checked to see the results and a few were still blurred so I decided to scrap that idea and with too many to pick through I just simply removed all music files and then but everything back to on my phone via drag and drop as per usual. Then I noticed there were around 40 tracks being read as <unknown> artist and a few were the track titles aren't being read also. Everywhere other than on my phone the tracks are correct and perfectly organised. I managed to get this number down to 21 but for the last week I've been having trouble trying to rectify the remaining tracks to no avail.
When things like this happen I wish I had an iPhone still but right now I would just really like to go back to last Sunday and not do what I did.
I've tried a couple of apps to edit tags from the play store but that hasn't worked at all.

When a screen lock password isn't enabled and a music track is playing the phone will display a little widget at the top of the lock screen with the current song and the ability to skip track without entering the default music application.However when I enable a screen lock this widget disappears.Is there any way to have both a screen lock and the ability to skip song tracks through the lock screen?

work around for reading emails in landscape mode in full screen without a list of all the emails on the left side.
This is a real irritation when you want to read an email in full screen mode. I really cannot believe that I am having to ask this question in the first place....
I have tried all normal option to read, but to no avail

So I'm new to the Samsung Galaxy S5 and I have a few artists that I put on my phone using my laptop and a few artists in my library that either don't have an artist picture, or they have an album art as the picture. Is there any way to just add or edit an artist picture?

I just got the Galaxy S6 which of course is running Lollipop. One of the features I used all the time on my iPhone was the ability to skip forward/back while listening to music (e.g. Pandora, Rhapsody, Music Player, etc.). I'm afraid to ask but am I to understand this functionality does NOT work on this phone/OS??? If so, how can I get around this? I do not want to root the phone nor do I want to be forced to use apps that require me to play music stored on the phone. I have subscriptions to Pandora and Rhapsody for a reason.

On my computer, every music application utilizes the "Album Artist" tag to group and sort artists. This way, multi-artist compilations with an album artist tag of "Various Artists" don't show up as 12-20 artists per album.Unfortunately, on the Sony Xperia Active, the music player doesn't use the Album Artist to sort artists, so I now have hundreds of "albums" of 1 song each from hundreds of individual artists on compilation albums.

Recently, my bluetooth has taken to reading out my texts out loud, which is a huge problem when I'm connected to external bluetooth speakers. An embarrassing problem that must stop. I don't know what's changed and I don't know what to do to stop this. The only clue I have is that in "Application Manager", when I go to "Bluetooth Share" and scroll down to "Permissions", it lists:
edit your text messages (SMS or MMS)
read your text messages (SMS or MMS)
recieve text messages (SMS)
send SMS messages - this may cost you money
I suspect it's the "read your text messages" that's causing my problem (although I am not smartphone savvy by any means so my suspicion may not be worth much) but there is seemingly no way to edit these permissions from this screen. It makes no sense to list the permissions but make them impossible to edit.

I recently switched from Apple to Android. I'm using the default music app. I noticed that bands starting with "the" appear with artists starting with "t". In iTunes, there was an option to change the "sort artist name" so that an artist like The Beatles would appear alongside other bands starting with "b", rather than "t". Is there any way I can do this on Android?

Before I updated my phone I was able to edit songs in my library by long tapping them. Now I have no option to modify... I went into File manager but that changes the file name & not what is written in my music library. Updates are supposed to add, not take away good things right?

I bought a new album a couple days ago and my phone lists the artist as "unknown". I switched my iPhone's settings on iTunes so I can manage my music manually and deleted the album. Then I loaded it again and it still says the artist is unknown. How do I get it to recognize the artist name? All of the information on my iTunes library is correct, it's just the iPhone that won't recognize the artist.

iPhone 4, iOS 5, iPhone 4S

My iphone on latest ios has loads of cool artist pics instead of album art under the artists tab. I like it but some artists pics are missing. I know they have a profile pic so why do they not download / update? Most of them have one but tonight I downloaded a few new songs and the artist pics have not downloaded so in the artist tab it just has an album art. Does it only periodically update? I guess it's a server side issue at apple but whether they fix it is questionable as they are often ignorant or refuse to accept issues. From past experience apple seems to play dumb on these issues at times - so when sonething breaks/glitches (iTunes Match a good example) it tends to stay broken for a long time

My Motoactv displays the name for several artists as "Unknown Artist." The song title and album artwork appear just fine, but a lot of my music just shows up as Unkown Artist. It is also showing up on my motoactv.com page as Unkown. I sync my playlists from iTunes. My shuffle can read me the name of the artist for the same songs, and they show up correctly on my iPod touch, and in iTunes. Does anyone else have this problem?

I am using Lumia 1520 with latest build of Windows 10. I have a 128gb sd card and if I play music through my car bluetooth in Honda Accord, none of the album and artist information is showing on the car display. Also, I am not able to use my car volume or music controls to control the music. I even tried using music that is not in sd card. Is this a bug in windows 10 phones?

so I'm not sure who uses Google Play Music here but for those who do, do you find annoying that it doesn't continuously play that artist you've selected? For example I like certain bands and it'll play music like them to start off with, but it won't play them continuously song after song after song.

I need a solution for showing the Artist Image of an Mp3 file on the lock screen!
I have previously succeeded with adding an artist image to an Mp3 file and transferring it to my Lumia 920. The image of the artist shows up in the Music+Videos section.
The problem now is when I go to Settings and Lock Screen options and choose to Show artist when playing music the artist image isn't showing up at locked screen! The screen turns in default grey color.

Is there a known issue with getting the artist and album artwork to show up in xbox music on the 1520.3, or is it just my phone? I thought it was because I put the songs on via usb rather than buying through xbox music, but I transferred them to my wife's icon and they worked as they should.

I import my music from my iTunes over to my Blackberry and when I go to listen to my music on my BB, some of the music files don't have their artist, album artwork or album names. Notice how the artist name isn't showing up on my bb, but on iTunes, all that information is filled out.

Just updated via Samsung Apps the camera firmware to a CDE11 or something version. Took 4 minutes to update and flash this firmware. I wonder what exactly it changed in the camera firmware? Hopefully improved things or bug fixes.I will test a few videos and see if the bitrate has changed or not.

Word on the street is that there may be a refreshed Samsung Galaxy Nexus coming. I wasrReading over at Android and Me and this thread caught my attention:The rumors state that there is going to be a refreshed camera. Possibly along the way of 8.0MP. On top of that, the processors are scheduled to be refreshed using The faster SGX544 GPU is included with Texas Instruments upcoming OMAP4470 processor. This is the successor to the original OMAP4460 found in the Galaxy Nexus, that includes the older SGX540 GPU.With the Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus coming soon we'll have to wait and see if they are in fact getting a refreshed model or the LTE based model that Verizon has currently, Either way, I hope they do launch a refresh on the HSPA+ line as well. I use the Galaxy Nexus and while I love the phone, I wish the camera was better. Faster is always better as well so I'll take the processor bump.
