Problems with musicplayer!

Just got the topaz :)

Doing what I normally do, I wanted to put some music on the thing.

I transferred a folder of mp3s to the device, and at the same time I deleted the two songs already there.

Now the player wont play!

It just says 'searching....'

When I go into the 'library' (softbutton on the lefthand side) - it shows the titles of the two songs I deleted. There is a speaker next to the first of them.

Looking around inside the library - I find the folder that I transferred myself, but I can't see the two songs I deleted.

There is apparently no way to remove the two dead entries - and the TouchFLO player seems to be operating under the delusion that if it keeps on searching the two deleted songs WILL be found.

Any way to remedy this apparent deadlock (besides hardresetting the thing)?

Can you put the two files back? Even if you no longer have them, you could rename a couple of files to match. That might get you up and running again and you can try and delete them from the library then.

That's a good idea!

I spoke to HTC Support, and their suggestion was to find a metadata folder for WMplayer - but we couldn't find it - it wasn't were it was on their device. I don't know it's name, but it was to be located in the very root, or maybe the root of the storagecard (haven't got one yet). So he promised to check it out and get back to me.

Meanwhile I hardreset the device, since I only just got it, I wouldn't lose anything anyhow.

But if the problem IS some metadata that doesn't seem to be deleted, maybe your suggestion would have worked
