HTC Sense Music Player

[hc03]

Hey Everybody

So is it just me or does anyone else notice some very basic flaws in HTC's sense music player? Surely there must be a solution or two for these nuisances:

1) Is there a way to get it to ignore certain folders containing music that I dont want added to my library?

2) Is there some kind of tweak that allows faster accessing of songs in your library? maybe at least an alphabetic scroll? (currently to navigate to a song, you have to kinetically scroll all the way to your song and this is a huge annoyance if you have a larger music library and, for example, are looking for a song/artist/album starting with Z)

3) Why does the music player always stop whenever the camera is activated? is there some kind of reg edit so that this doesnt happen??

I realize that there are other music players out there but i'd really like to get this one working properly especially considering what a nice piece of eye candy it is on sense

let me say first I really like the "promised" capabilities of this phone bt the actual pratice is getting to me.

the Sense music player is actually going on to the internet BEFORE it loads your songs. This is why you have a long delay (especially if you have over 5gigs of music like me). It is looking for data (album art, names, song titles etc.). You will ususally get an Audiomanager .eng.exe error. I found this out yesterday. i did not believe it at first, but was told to go to settings and turn the option to "flight mode" or just cut the data connections in general.

2 minutes later a prompt came up saying that there was no data connectivity for the audio player. Try it yourself if you like. I am asking around now for a fix or tweak to stop this from happening. If I find one I will get back to you. Believe me I know your pain

Anyone knows how to do this?

Here is what I have done to get the music player to load faster. Go to the windows folder...look for audiomanager.exe copy the file and paste it in the startup folder. I have over 5GB of music...easily over 1,000 songs and it maybe lags 20 second and then i am ready to rock...literally. Try this it should help!

Use Total Commander to navigate to the folder in question (you'll probably want to start with "/Storage Card/program files"), and then long-press on the folder to bring up the options...click the box for "hidden". Each folder you do that for will then be skipped when the music player indexes, but you can still see/access the folders like normal.

EDIT: Toreone's tip IS a great way to speed up indexing on larger music libraries...the cab below does the exact same thing he was describing

Thanks but I've already set the folders (and the files) to be hidden and the files are still appearing...

Hmm...that worked like a charm for me when I did it. You can try this cab:
