Music player app - locking display orientation and album info

Is there anyway to lock the ipod touch music player app in a particular orientation? Alternately, can the music player be set to stay in album info mode when the ipod changes orientation?
I listen to my ipod touch when riding my bicycle. I use the DLO ActionWrap attached to my forearm, primarily in landscape orientation. However, I frequently want to see how long the current song is or how many songs are left to play on the album and, as I move my arm and change the orientation of the ipod, the ipod will exit info mode each time I change orientation. It would be nice to be able to lock the ipod music player app in landscape mode or lock it in a mode that it will stay in info mode as I change orientation of the ipod.
If you just can't do this, if anyone at Apple reads this, could you please make this a feature?

I have downloaded Audiograbber to my laptop. Converted all my music to Mp3 then transferred it all to my PlayBook via Wifi. You get the album, artists, selections etc. Works great for me. Then on the PlayBook you can select what you want to put on the Playlist.

Three issues here. The pre-pending is useless when selecting songs to play, plus it.takes up much of the admittedly limited space in my on-screen menu. Since it doesn't help me select a song to play, it simply prevents more relevant info from being displayed in that area. However, there is a second area on the menu that is designed to list title, artist and album but those fields are blank - despite I-tunes inclusion of the info in the xferred files.
JCP,
Regarding the tags, on an MP3 CD iTunes simply burns whatever is embedded in the MP3 file. From your description, it sounds like the Onkyo is seeing the filenames but not the tags, which does seem strange. You may want to try the question in an Onkyo forum.
If you don't need the pre-pended serial number, and don't care about the sequence, you can burn from iTunes as a data CD instead of an MP3 CD.

Looking for a good music player app

Hi.
I have a problem. i'm looking for a good music player app for my new iphone (which i will buy my next month) in terms of playing music. after having 3 phones in the last 9 months i'm still unhappy.
Had a Samsung Galaxy Ace. sound was above average but due to underpowered processor + RAM (and Samsung stating they won't update the software anymore) i had to sell it.
Than had a Sony Ericcson Xperia Neo but felt the sound was "flat" and bland" and left me disappointed and uninspired coming from a well-known phone maker know for its audio & visual expertise.
Now, i currently have the HTC Desire S. umm although the sound was "Ok" with its usual pre-set equalizers (common among Android phones) and SRS sound enhancement it felt me wanting more and although i have the phone for a week now i would say "so far-so good."
but i heard the best music phones out there are those with either Beats Audio (which are very brand new) or the ones with Dolby Mobile.
had an iPod touch (4th-gen) and i was amazed and impressed by the sound quality.
so, if i can get away with a good music player app that recreates surround sound, has good preset EQ's along with customisable ones and one with Dolby-like support which app would you recommend?
Thank you.

Stock lock screen does not normally support 3rd party widgets so you wont find any third party players that allows you access while on lock screen.. As for the player I perfer Meridian Media Player Revolute from https://market.android.com/details?id=org.iii.romulus.meridian&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5paWkucm9tdWx1cy5tZXJpZGlhbiJd

MPD rocks, runs here for months without major problems.
The client side is very flexible, you can choose many players:

For X, for console, etc..
Edit:
MPD supports Icecast also, to create streams.

Looking for a music player app for the ipad

Musician looking for music player app to play my sound library
Folders, set lists......ect.....
Must be able to automatically pause between songs, not like iTunes where you have to manually pause
I have to time to manually pause between tracks since i use this for my live performances.
All thoughts and advice welcome
Doc

Try making a 5 second blank .mp3 file or however long you need your pause to be between songs, then create a playlist and insert the blank .mp3 between each song. Just a thought to help save some money. I believe the DJay app allows this though, but you might want to ask the developer on their website before purchasing just to verify.
Good luck,
Christopher

No reverse seek on music player during locked screen

I noticed that there is no reverse seek << on music player on locked screen, it only displayed the forward seek >>. This shouldn't happened because in Kitkat all is complete forward or rewind. Sony pls fix this bug.

It is indeed gone, have you checked this out?

Trying to change album art and album info on ipod

i am trying to change the album art and album info on my ipod touch while it is plugged into itunes but while it shows in the itunes window that this information is gone, the ipod still has it and won't update ??
i have a nano that contains all my music with full description but would just like to transfer a handful of songs to my touch and don't want the albums listed and song titles because i just have a few songs from the artist like a compilation ?
any help welcome..thanks

JP:
Are you sure the artwork's gone? When you add artwork to a music track via iTunes, it is actually added via the ID3 tag, which are embedded in the song file. The only way that the artwork could be removed if if the tag was modified or you converted your music files to a format that does not support ID3 v.2.x tags.
When you Get Info for a single random song file, and click on the tab for artwork, is this pane empty?
Have you opened the show artwork box under the Source menu in iTunes? (click on the button with the rectangle below the Source menu).
Otherwise, I am at a loss as to how all of your artwork disappeared simply by moving it from one drive to another.

I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

N97 music player doesn't display my music

Hi all,
I have a problem since yesterday regarding the music player application on my N97. Namely, it will not display any of my music - it displays "no songs" for whatever section (Artists, Albums, etc.). Of course, I checked the file system and all music is there, safe and sound. It should be noted that the music files are in .mp3 or .m4a format, placed appropriately (mass storage, folder "Music"). And I hadn't had this sort of problem until yesterday, when I was trying to sync music with my PC using Ovi Player and Ovi Suite. They both recognize my music files and display all albums and songs accordingly.
To make it more interesting, when I choose "Music library details" option in the music library main screen, it displays the correct information (1490 songs, modified 26.11. etc.), but it simply won't list any music saying that I have none!
What I tried:
- refreshing the library a number of times - it reports "0 files added" and continues to behave in the same way;
- importing some new music (via PC) and refreshing the library - the same outcome;
- switching phone off and on (including removing the battery);
- resetting the phone to factory settings.
Nothing helped. It's running the newest firmware version (v20).
In my opinion, the problem is not caused by the music files, but the music player application itself. So I don't think that formatting the mass storage would do the trick. Someone correct me if I'm mistaking.
Also, I would very much like not having to reinstall the firmware as it was excruciating in the first place - lost connection with the device, my phone almost died, etc. But if anyone strongly thinks that it is worth trying, then I will. This is extremely annoying.

How to get Music Player to play AAC files and show...

I feel the need, the need to share my recent experiences with you! Firstly to restate the already known facts: The Nokia Audio Manager in PC Suite is incapable of reading any tags as far as I have seen, from a tag (AAC/MP3) or from a CD itself and it crashes on my pc after sending 2 albums to my phone or on initialising once the phone has 2 albums already on it - so I've binned that. iTunes creates .m4a files which are AAC files but in mp4 containers with mp4 tags. The N70 will play AAC files and read ID3 tags up to v2.3 Here's how to get musak on your N70 with tags and artwork. 1. get yourself copies of dbpoweramp 11.5, their AAC codec (the Release 5 one) and The Godfather and install them 2. Go into the dbpoweramp config, select the ID tag tab and change the tag to ID3V2 for AAC. check the version field is set to v2.3 3. Use Poweramp's CD Input to rip a CD (you can specify under options to use AAC (Advanced Audio Coding (CLI)), you can custom the folder/filenames and set the bitrate (I use 100 BVR which creates files about the same size as MP3) 3.5. Rename any file that has an apostrohpe in the filename - removing the apostrophe - as the Music player will not read the tag 4. Go onto Amazon.com, find your CD and save the artwork image to your PC (create a folder for artwork) 5. Run The Godfather, select the folder containing the ripped album, click on the 'TAG' button, tick the picture box and click the button to it's right and browse for the .jpg file you just downloaded. then click on Update which will bring up the edit dialog, check that the picture is visible at bottom right and is ticked and then click 'Update All', then 'Sync' and then 'Exit'. Finally, click on the 'Apply' button 6. Transfer the folder to your My Music folder on the MMC 7. Run the Music Player and select Options-Update Collection 8. Now go into Albums and you should see your album title. Click on it and you should see all tracks. Click on a track and you should see, in the playing window, the artist & track and the artwork too. It has taken me weeks to get this far but for me, it is worth it. I hope this system works for you too Regards, Brian.

It sounds like a dud program. I would remove it (highlight its icon, then Options -> Remove). If you don't see a remove option, look for the program in the Application Manager.

Will There ever be a music player app comparable to Windows Media Player??

I continue to be discouraged since beginning to use a Mac that I can't find any music player comparable to Windows media Player and all it could do. I find itunes very annoying and have been using songbird instead but it doesn't open as a default when selecting a song from a file.
Things itunes can't do:
I can't select a list of songs from a folder and play them in the order of the files in the folder.
I can't listen to a file without it automatically being added to the list for the next time I enter itunes
I can't change the fiie name of a song and have itunes recognize the change and adapt.
It does not add songs to the song list I have added to a file folder on my computer
It also doesn't give you an option to delete all the songs that don't exist any more. If i delete something fro a file, it is still on the itunes song list and i have to manually delete each one.
Also, I can't browse by genre or one album only.. its always one big list. if i select one song from a folder to play, i tunes will next skip to the next song in the itunes player to play next.
There is no "now playing" column to see what has been played
ANyways, I just keep hoping someone will develop something, or every time itunes says it has an update - i hope.
Songbird is much better but still not top. I feel this is a big need for apple.. especially if you want satisfied customers switching from microsoft who want a comparable experience. its frustrating enough getting used to so many things, but the programs shoudl be able to do these simple things.
i cal is another story...
Just hopeful that a developer can meet these issues someday! Im sure they CAN, but someone needs to tell you they are issues!!!

Hi, Cheryl,
You are correct about some of your statements. iTunes is designed as a complete content manager, and while that works well for many people, if you want to be able to work with your files directly in Finder and play them based on that organization, then iTunes probably indeed does not work for you. Just a few notes, though:
I can't select a list of songs from a folder and play them in the order of the files in the folder.
Correct. iTunes doesn't understand folders in the OS file structure and other than just the path name to the track file doesn't care about OS folders at all.
I can't listen to a file without it automatically being added to the list for the next time I enter itunes
Also correct; iTunes needs to add the track to its library file so it can find the track. You can play tracks in QuickTime Player, though, or directly from Finder and not have to use iTunes and it's file management.
I can't change the fiie name of a song and have itunes recognize the change and adapt.
It does not add songs to the song list I have added to a file folder on my computer
Correct. iTunes has no folder-watching feature, so changes made manually wil not be recognized automatically. There are third-party utilities that can automate some of this, Hazel for instance.
It also doesn't give you an option to delete all the songs that don't exist any more. If i delete something fro a file, it is still on the itunes song list and i have to manually delete each one.
The real solution to this is to not remove tracks manually from the OS but rather to delete them from inside of iTunes. But if you really want to remove the tracks manually and then get them removed from iTunes, try this script courtesy of the very-useful Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper
Also, I can't browse by genre or one album only.. its always one big list.
Turn on the Column Browser: View menu -> Column Browser -> Show Column Browser
You can select whether you wish it on top or the side, and what sections appear. You can then browse by genre, artist or album, and can play specific albums and have iTunes stop playing when the album is finished.
if i select one song from a folder to play, i tunes will next skip to the next song in the itunes player to play next.
Correct. If you uncheck all the tracks, though, iTunes will play one and stop. That often causes other issues if you uncheck them all, but unchecking a track is how you get iTunes to skip playing it.
There is no "now playing" column to see what has been played
Not if you're not using playlists, no, but iTunes DJ might be of some help in this regard. It's not designed for manual playing, but it can be sort of forced into that sort of use.
I've not seen any player that provides what I would consider to be an improvement on iTunes. Songbird is the only player I know of in current development, and it has its own strenghts and weakness. What it really comes down to is a design philosoply; iTunes is designed to handle all the management of the track files so you don't have to. For those of us who that philosoply suits, iTunes works very well indeed. For those like you who want to do your own management, iTunes doesn't suit and probably never will.
Regards.
