Since getting my HTC One 64GB, I've been wanting to use it as a media device in a manner similar to how I can use an iPod - I want to connect the HTC One via USB to a computer, and use a media-playing program (such as WinAmp) to play music directly off the device. While this part sort of works, I've found that the MTP interface on the One does not provide MP3 tags such as artist and album, which makes managing my music collection rather difficult!
For what it's worth, this problem only seems to occur with ROMs derived from Sense ROMs. If I use CyanogenMod, I get full MP3 tags available over MTP. My Samsung phones seem to work fine too, but they are old and lack storage space (they also can work in USB storage mode, which would also be a solution if available on the HTC One).
I know some media-playing solutions involve syncing the music over wireless but that's not practical for me - I am usually in locations with no access to wireless connectivity (wired networks only). I don't want to have to copy all the music to a local drive, either.
I guess I'd like to know if anybody had success with getting MP3 tags over MTP on the HTC One with a Sense-based ROM, and if so, how? Cheers
