Help with Android music player (7)

1 Name: Putkinsenshi : 2012-10-31 14:07 ID:RtsA2QhF [Del]

Hey there guys, I wonder if you can help me on this one, since I can't find anything on the interwebz.

I've put many albums in my phone (Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8), and all of then work, except for two. When I try to play songs from those two albums, the music app force closes, but if I go from the folder manager app and play each mp3 individually, they play correctly, giving the force close only when the song ends.

I'm on 2.2.1 with custom rom MiniCM6-1.0.1

What music app are you using?
If it's the stock app, try installing another music player to check. It could be one of many problems, but might as well try a simple one first. Just search for a music player on the Store, should be plenty.(I'm assuming you're on Android)

My phone did this the first time I tried to put music on it. Did you use a media player like Windows Media Player or iTunes? If not try that.

Also I can reccomend a two Android music players that I liked while I had them:
Doubletwist: Very nice, only plays music and excludes custom ring tones and other mp3s, a tad large at 16MB file size, has extra premium features.

TuneWiki: nice as well, only plays music, a bit smaller at 10MB or so I don't remember it's been awhile since I've used it, a social media app built in that you can use to comment you favorite songs, an extensive lyric wiki that plays along with the song, a song identifier like Shazam, only problem was it slowed my phone down.

In the end I would recommend DoubleTwist more due to the fact it didn't slow my phone.

How did I mess up my own tripcode? Has it been so long since my last post that I forgot it? Oh well then.

I was using the default music player, as it is faster and more responsive.
Anyways, I've installed "3", and the album works there.
I've already thought doing this, but I wanted to if any of you had any solution to fix it, but it looks like it's just a stupid bug.
Thanks anyways.

I had this problem on another Android phone. Try searching for a "NOMEDIA" file in the file directory, then delete it. Hope it works as it did for me.

I found the NOMEDIA file and deleted it. Tried to play the music and it worked. Paused and tried playing again, had a force close. It must be some weird bug of Android, perhaps because I have many albums in my memory card?
Well, in the end I'll just use "3", which doesn't even ocupy 1MB.
Thanks for the help.
