Samsung Galaxy S II

I have what I hope is a simple question.

I have copied a load of mp3s to an sd card on an SII but I am not seeing some of the songs in the music player. when i go through the file browser I can see the files that are not in the player but I can play them when I select the file...

I am puzzled

any help appreciated.

Does your mp3 player use the MP3 ID3x tags? Are you sure these are set appropriately? Are they encoded in a different bitrate, which might not be supported?

In the picture you can see the properties of one the files im trying to see the music player. I ripped a load of cds at the same time and I can see them. Its just wierd.
There is not much in the way of settings on the SII in regards the music player.
I had been reading that PowerAmp might be the way to go...

working with winamp on the SII. Suppose that will do!!

edit:
Just checked the music player and the missing albums are now in the default player...
Files transferred 2 days ago, were not there yesterday, are there now...
Could not find a way of refreshing the list in the player. Confused but not complaining

You already found the solution, so removing my post

Is there any way of disabling notifications (sound) when on a call. ?

I have a long sound set up so i wont miss it, but its annoying when on a call and the alert sounds.

I think this will do the trick.

If you are coping files by connecting your phone via USB cable then it does not refresh automatically.

You can unmount and remount the card, that will force it to rescan.

Open Settings
Go to SD card & phone storage
Unmount the SD Card
Re-mount the SD card
Re-open music

Anyone having issues with WidgetLocker and Resurrection Remix? Since they went to AOKP I've had issues with a short press of home bringing up both the lockscreen AND the graphical task manager, very annoying.

well lads looking for a good case. I have the casemate barely there but find it way too slippy. I also had the official mesh case but that flimsy thing broke on me ps I have bad hands from an accident so it has to be grippy.

Hi,
Any good app alternative to ITunes for the S2? Looking for something similar to ITunes where I can download music and use as music player.

Thanks.

The great thing about the Android is that you don't need the iTunes. Get your music anywhere and just copy it onto the phone.

Google Music FTW. Just play from the pink fluffies.

Anyone else having the problem of the phone not recognising the contacts in messages and calls? Yet when you go to edit it picks up the correct name, therefore you cannot edit! Only happening since ics!

If you still want to use iTunes with your android, like I do. Try iSyncr. Works brilliantly with iTunes IMO. Been using it for the last 6 months, great app.. well worth the few euro. Theres a free trial too..
