Xperia Active :: Music Player Does Not Use "album Artist" Tag To Sort Music Instead Of "artist"?
Jun 8, 2012
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.
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.
there is no way to only sort by "album name", just a combination of "artist and album name" is accessible under options in the menu. This gives me problem since I have a lot of compilations with various artist names.I remember that it was some similar problems with 5800 XM, but fixed via an s/w release a long time ago...
Is there any option so that we can sort the songs by Albums. I know we have got a option " Artists and albums". If we use this it will sort with Artists first and below it will show the Album name. I live in India, and here we generally listen to songs by movie/album wise not by artist.... I having nightmare in searching the albums as they are sorted by artists first..... I also use Nokia 5800 XM in that we got seperate option "sort by Album" but it is combined with artists in Nokia Symbian^3 phones.....I love the new music player the way it shows the album arts but the only thing is it removed the sort by Album option..
So the much awaited belle update is out, however the music player somehow STILL does not sort by album title properly. So here we are, with more than 10 gigs of music all scattered in the music library with album artists names and what not.
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?
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
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 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.
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?
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.
how I can sort my music on N8 by album only. I have a number of compilation albums on the phone but because it stores it by album and artist I can not listen to the whole album but have to select 1 track at a time by each individual nartist
I have created some playlists in Media Go and transfered them to the phone with Media Go.All files have been transferred and I can also see the *.m3u in the music folder on the SD card.What must I do to find the playlists in the music player ? All music files are available as supposed.
I'm using Nokia 701 with music player version 17.2.17 I've around 700 songs in my memory card. In music player, I see the sorting in the order: (i) Artist & then (ii) Album be specific artist. That's okay.
But when I open the album, I see the songs in any random order. They are not sorted alphabetically.
so I have had my One M8 for a week now and I love it but the one thing I have noticed (coming from an iPhone and being a music fanatic) is that the album art in music player looks like absolute trash. I use iSyncr to take my songs from iTunes and the album art on iTunes is high quality 1000x1000 or above images. Can't understand why the HTC is taking those images and making them look downgraded (colour is off as well).
I have just bought a new Golf R (amazing car btw) but neither of the USB sockets in the armrest or the dash cubby hole charge my phone. Is this because it is a USB C type cable? It is not a deal killer as I usually charge my phone at either end of my journey but it is annoying!
Another annoying issue is that the Media player does not display the music album art but that is probably a Windows 10 issue and might get updated as the OS is updated.
I'm using IOS 5.1 on iPhone 4. When I have the music player running, and try to switch to album view (via the MORE button) the music player crashes. I've turned iTunes match on and off, turned iCloud on and off, deleted the music, and resynched the music and I still have the problem.
I've just started using Ovi Player and every time I try to rip a CD, it cannot find the album details and artwork and says "Information for this CD is not currently available". The internet is definitely connected.
My music player doesn't show any music i add now. I can see and play those music files through OI FILE MANAGER. It is Android 4.0.4 Also i had excluded one of my personnel folder from media scan. but still it shows that folder and its contents in pictures.
yesterday out of the blue the display on my active stopped working. i connected it to the pc and did a reset/reinstalled the firmware but still no display.i can play music using the original headphones and the headset controls and the home/menu/back buttons light up when i press the unlock key but that's about it.oh yes and i think i managed to unlock the screen even though it was totally back as i could could play/pause music and skip tracks using the screen controls (pressing where i guessed the music controls were).
I had some files that are recordings from teachers in my institute (a lot of those) and when I'm listen music, the music player add this files in the list of "music files" this is really anoying.
How can I set the folders where The music player searchs for music?? I tried adding the .nomedia file but that did nothing.
Problem with music player in xperia ray is that, the same music is replayed after it reaches the end. I can not find a way to tell him, goto the next music in the folder.
The song title and artist does not display when streaming music from Nokia Music on my Windows Phone through my car stereos' bluetooth connection. It also does not allow me to skip songs using my car stereo.
The Zune music player on my Windows Phone has this functionality.
I just bought this device, love it so far. When I use a Google Voice command like, "play Madonna", it defaults to Sound Picker and doesn't play any songs. I noticed Music app is not even listed as a choice. See pic.
Is there a way to have the stock Music app as one of the choices instead of Sound Picker?
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'm cleaning up all my music in my iphone. I can edit the artst, song, album etc, in itunes when my iphone is plugged in, but it then doesn't appear corrected on my iphone once i'm done. I have synced it after I edit, but still my music on my iphone doesn't get corrected
Ive been having some trouble lately with my IPhone's music, I noticed that when browsing my music by artist that there were artist pictures, I wanted to know if there was a way of taking this back to spend the album covers when i scroll throw my music, I have IOs 7 and im using an IPhone 5s.
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?
