My sensation has been through various ROMs and is now happily settled on Pyramid3d 8.3.0 XE (2.3.4 GB). The only remaining thing to annoy me is something in the HTC music player. When you browse via artist, start the thing scrolling down and then grab the scroll bar on the right (to scroll faster through by alphabetic initial) it only has "#" .. and no letters. You can pull the scroll bar all the way to the bottom and it still only shows "#" and when yuo release it, it is still on the first artist. You can see the artists in there, and they all look ok. So I can't use the grab-able scroll bar and I have to manually scroll through several hundred artists to find what I want.

Works fine for albums etc, with the initial letters appearing next to the scroll bar and everything working normally. I've checked my metadata and the artists are completed correctly. I've emptied all the music (22GB or so) from my SD card and refreshed the library, then loaded it back on, and no change.

I don't think the various other stock or custom ROMs I tried had this problem, but I can't find any mention of it in the Pyramid3D thread. Anyone else seen it? Anyone have a fix?

yeah. i had that issue too. just try to rename it and remove any signs and marks from beginning of the artist or album title. use a mp3 tag editor program. i use itag. it's an android app. that should fix it.

fantastic - thank you. i had about four artists who had thoughtlessly started their names with some form of punctuation, and by renaming them it fixed it. I think [Re:Jazz] was the probable culprit - it seems like it didn't like that.

My one remaining bugbear with my phone is now gone. I am a happy man. thanks.
