Walkman app disappearing playlists

I'm having a problem with the Walkman app playlists. I synced my music and playlists with musicbee and it saves the Playlist as pla format. They Playlist appear initially but then later on they disappear. Anyone know why this is happening?

  • Walkman app looses songs in playlists

    The Walkman app on my Xperia Z1 (upgraded to KitKat) looses the contents of my Playlists.
    I can't figure out why, but every time I build a playlist, sooner or later the songs disappear.
    The Playlists themselves remain, but they are empty.

    unmount then remove the SD card, you should be able to see a circle with a number inside, but try to move some music to the internal storage and then try again

  • Walkman app search not working properly after lollipop update?

    Does anyone else have problems with the walkman app search function? Just yesterday it worked fine before I updated to lollipop, when I searched for a song it actually found it. Now it's all broken and can usually find results only when I type in two or three letters. If I type less or more it finds nothing at all even though I know I have those songs on my SD card.
    I can find the songs just fine if I scroll through all the albums manually, but that's slow and pain to do...
    I updated the walkman app too after I noticed this problem but nothing changed. I also tried cleaning app data/cache but it doesn't help at all.
    Solved!

    Sony really needed to test Lollipop better. On my Xperia Z3 Compact, after Lollipop installed, Walkman app could no longer find any of my SD Card music using the Search function. It could however still play the SD Card music via the playlist. My best guess is that the index was corrupted during the upgrade, or Lollipop indexes SD Cards differently.
    The solution to move SD Card music to Internal storage was a non-starter for me, as the Internal storage is 16GB and I have over 32GB of music on my SD Card.
    However, I can report that I solved the problem by:
    Connecting my phone to my PC by USB.
    Moving all the music off the SD Card and onto my PC.
    Moving it all back onto the SD Card.
    Time taken : over 2 hours! Thanks a bunch Sony. Lollipop looks nicer than KitKat but wasted my time, apart from seeming to make apps slower and eat battery faster My advice to people thinking of switching from KitKat - don't bother!

  • How to keep songs from the same album together in the Walkman app?

    How do I keep songs from the same album together in one album instead of it being spilt up into three different albums? Is there any way to keep this from happening? I have all of the correct album information, but it still happens. I thought I would use Media Go and see if it helps but it never works properly. 
    Any suggestions would be much appreicated. 

    Make sure your Album information in mp3 tags is all the same in all tracks belonging to the same album.
    Clear the cache memory of Storage Media service
    https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/WALKMAN/Multiple-Song-and-playlist-appear/m-p/732329?sl=y&sso_no_log=...
    If, despite having the same album information in mp3 tags and clearing cache memory, you still get multiple entries or songs belonging to the same album are split into 2-3 albums, then I suggest an easy way.
    Use Winamp and create an *.m3u playlist in the same directory you have the mp3 files stored in your phone. This playlist will then appear in Playlists - My Playlists and you will be able to enjoy your music in correct order of tracks and all the tracks will be there.
    That is my method (using m3u Winamp playlists) simply because Walkman app does not respect the Track Number tag in mp3 files belonging to the same album and rather sorts the tracks within the same album based on Date Created.

  • I have an iphone 4 and i have upgraded to ios 5. but after upgrading all my apps disappeared and in the summary tab in itunes it jus shows as other data..! please help

    i have an iphone 4 and i have upgraded to ios 5. but after upgrading all my apps disappeared and in the summary tab in itunes it jus shows as other data..! please help

    When I went to reload my phone it gave the option of restoring with icloud or itunes so i chose itunes (assuming icloud would have many more bugs). Afterwards, I had no music and 6.6g of other.
    What I did was go into itunes, clicked my iphone 4, and clicked on each of the top tabs (summery, info, apps, ringtones, music, etc.) and ensured I had them all clicked onto sync/selected playlist etc.As my phone restored, the 6.6g of other dropped to .99g of other.
    Unfortunately, all my songs are gone but everything else seems to be in tact. I don't think there is any way around this issue for now with the new ios 5 update when syncing either an ipad or iphone. I have an ipad 2 but am going to hold off on updating it until apple gets the bugs sorted out because, I'm sure you will agree, getting the music back to where you want it to be is a total nightmare and takes ages to not only pick the right songs and artists to put on it, but also the ones that will fit correctly with the space, depending on the size you have. 
    I hope that helps.

  • Feedback on Walkman app

    I have scoured the net for places to post Walkman app feedback and not found anything better than here, so here goes.
    As of the most recent version of Walkman (8.0.A.0.4), here is my feedback:
    THE GOOD:
    * Walkman continues to be the best-looking music manager on Android and maybe even on any mobile device, period.  Great design and aesthetics.
    * The SenseMe playlists actually work pretty well!
    THE BAD:
    * MP3 "ALBUM_ARTIST" tag is ignored.  To be fair, this is a long-known issue with Android mediastore and has been for years.  Because Google is obviously not doing anything about it, perhaps Walkman could come out with its own music tag scanner, that does not use the Android mediastore for its tag info. As long as Walkman relies on Android's mediastore, tags are going to be dorked up.
    In plain english, the reason this is an issue is that albums with multiple artists get split up into a number of separate artists (for example, in the tag "ALBUM_ARTIST" I put "Various Artists" and then for each track's "ARTIST" field, it lists the name of the artist for that track.  Walkman - and virtually every other Android music player - ignores this ALBUM_ARTIST field, instead listing a whole bunch of artists with only 1 song listed for each.  Obviously, iOS devices have long figured this out by accomodating not only the ALBUM_ARTIST field for MP3s but the "Compilation" tag as well.
    * There should be a simple button to clear the play queue. Every major player except Walkman has this basic feature.  Saying "just play a different album" is not really an answer.
    * Enqueue album should append the album being enqueued to the end of the current play queue.
    * Need to be able to multiple-select items in the play queue.
    * Option to hide Artist background images (just use a color) when an artist is selected.  I have a lot of independent artists in my player and Gracenote does a poor job at matching, often to humorous or annoying results.
    If anyone can take this feedback and pass it on, or let me know who to send it to, it would be awesome!  Thanks

    Same here.
    Please fix the Compilation Issue.
    Thanks.

  • Walkman app feedback

    i like the interface of sony walkman app but on ther other side i hate it for playing recording files or other audio files.
    possible solutions are.
    1) Option to add music folder manually for the first time and walkman can keep scanning for further changes in that folder.
    2) Selective removal of media files, i don't want to play in random playlist.
    share ur opinion plz 
    starting this thread to get option to remove selective removal of media files from walkman/movies .
    Topic edited by Rickard

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Android has a media scanner that scans all folders for media like music, pictures and videos and builds a database that is then using by music players like Walkman. If you have folders that you don't want to be scanned by the media scanner you can create a file in that folder called ".nomedia" using a file manager or a computer.
    If the folder has already been scanned you may also have to clear data for Media Storage under Settings -> Apps -> All and restart the phone. The media scanner will then skip all folder that has a .nomedia file in them.

  • Re: continuous playback on WALKMAN app

    Hi Sony, can I suggest that the WALKMAN app be made not to play the next song automatically after the currently song stops playing? Or have an option to disable continuous playback?
    Sometimes we just want to listen to one song at a time, or to choose another song manually after a song has finished playing, instead of having to stop the automatic playback.
    Thanks and regards

    You can make your own playlist or if you want to enable shuffle tap longer on album art when playing and you get shuffle,repeat.

  • Please add track number information to Walkman app

    Dear Sony software programmers,
    If possible please add the track number information to your Walkman app. As shown in red color on the screenshots below.

    Since there could be a spatial problem with playlists containing more than 99 songs (not enough space left to the artist name in the track list), this information would be shown only with playlists containing fewer than 99 songs.

  • Walkman app display incorrect album cover

    I made an account just to post this.
    Okay, my device is Xperia Z1 C6903 and I use the Walkman app to play music, and honestly, I love the app, it's a great app and all, I love the interface and surround feature. I do not have thought of using any other music player such as Poweramp.
    But I don't understand why the all the files in an album has to display the same album art, I don't know about if my app or system is defective, all I know is Walkman works likes this:
    All files with the same Album name tag, with album art or not, will display the same album art as the first track of the album.
    Therefore if the files in an album contains different variety of album art, it will all be replaced by the album art tagged in the first track.
    I have thoughts if I am the only one who has this problem cause not only Walkman app does this sort of thing, even Play Music (Google's music app) does the same, is something wrong with my system? So far I know Poweramp (Trial) display album art correctly and does not have any sort of this kind of problem.
    And no, my phone is not rooted.
    That is bascially my problem is anyone know the solution, or comments, you're more than welcomed to share. Honestly, I love this app and I cannot be persuade to use another app to play music.
    P.S.
    If you ask me if there's any improvement/new feature that can be done to this app, and the only thing that I'd wish this app can have is crossfade effect and please, remove the big title block with "Enjoy Your Music Anytime and Everywhere" on it, it takes up lot of space and I hate to have to scroll down in order to access other shortcuts.

    I do not own Z1,I just gave you a suggestion which I thought would help.How about if you tap the third button while you are over a song,select edit music info and select what art do you want?
    Okay, here's what I did, I tested out an album with two songs in it, both tagged with different cover when displayed on PC, now I transfered it to Z1 by just dragging it to SD card folder, didn't use Media Go or anything, when displayed on Walkman, the second song displays album cover that is of the first song, I proceed to "Edit music info", I clicked on the album art, I discovered that is over written by something, so I clicked on "Clear album art", choose "Save", and turned out the song got quickly over written again, I think it has something to do with the "Download music info" app thing, by Gracenote, unless this is under observation of a developer, I don't think this can be solved, right now I'd try using Media Go, see if that works.

  • Non-factory Apps Disappearing Randomly After Upgrade to iOS 5.1

    Hi all, I've had my iPad 2 for about 9 months.  Since upgrading to iOS 5.1, on two separate occasions, I've had all but the factory apps disappear from my iPad.  This happened randomly during the day, not during or immediately following a sync.  My most recent sync for my iPad was on 3/14, 6 days ago.  I had been using my iPad throughout the day, then unlocked it this evening and everything is gone except the factory apps, i.e. FaceTime, Messages, Reminders, etc.  All my media is still there, and all my settings are unchanged (email accounts still working fine, movies still there in the Videos app), but all downloaded apps are gone.  No games, none of my work apps, nothing.  This is the second time this has happened since I upgraded to iOS 5.1 about 2 weeks ago.  First time was the day after.  Last time I did a full wipe and restore, hoping it was a one time glitch.  I've done some searching, and the only other instances of people's apps disappearing that I've been able to find were related to syncing.  I have the latest iTunes, all software is patched and up to date.  I have syncing via WiFi disabled, as well, it only syncs via cable plugged into my home PC.
    Hoping someone else has seen this or has some idea.
    (My battery life is significantly reduced after the iOS upgrade as well, with no changes to settings or new apps.  I get a day or two of light use before I'm down to 10%.  I was at 30% in the morning when I put it in my bag, and it was dead when I took it out later that afternoon.  I used to get a good week between charges.)

    If it's a first gen iPad, which I assume that it is if you've updated to iOS 5.1.1 as other models update to iOS 6+, then it doesn't have a camera on it and therefore doesn't have Camera or FaceTime apps.

  • Suggestion for a needed Walkman app improvement

    Dear Sirs,
    Although I’ll sadly have to part from my Sony Z1 (for other issues reported on this forum and to Sony Xperia Care, namely the touchscreen issue), I would still like to leave a suggestion for the most underachieving app (imho) from a Sony Smartphone.
    With the long tradition on audio excellence and the Walkman brand, I would suspect that it would be a strong point on a Sony Smartphone. Strangely enough, the Walkman app made me buy a third party app (PowerAmp) to get some basic functionality like I had on my old iPhone 3GS.
    One of the most serious faults of the Walkman app is the lack of volume normalization between audio tracks. Although Sony does provide a workaround (which is nothing more than a dynamic range compressor), it doesn’t make any sense (imho) with today’s technology.
    Replaygain (for instance) is a free (but very effective) way of normalizing volumes without degrading the sound quality. Many apps like PowerAmp have it, and even iTunes has a proprietary version of it built in on every device for many years now.
    As I said before, this can be done with third-party apps and third-party media management software (like JRiver or the free Foobar), but by doing so, the user loses the integration provided by a unique manufacturer (Sony Media Go -> Sony Walkman).
    I’m really just trying to help, as it gets harder to understand why Sony lacks on such elementary things audio-wise, when the same company has Walkmans supporting the highest definition audio formats available today.
    I tend to relate Sony with high quality digital audio products, so it seems strange that this particular app is so rudimentary on these levels. The Walkman app is eye-candy, but it should also be “hear-candy”, which it isn’t.

  • Walkman app not showing my downloaded podcast mp3 and m4a files

    Hi all,
    Hope someone can help me with an Issue on my Z3 Compact running Lollipop 5.0.2 firmware.
    I have a Music folder on my SDCard which contains all my music files in subfolders and all these files appear in the Walkman app just fine.
    I also have two folders called 'Podcasts' - one on the internal storage and one on the SDCard which contain mp3 and m4a files which I have downloaded using 3rd party apps.
    I would like to listen to these podcast files using the Walkman app - but they will not appear in Walkman - even if I try the Folders options.but it still will not show either of the Podcast folders.
    The weird thing is it lists voices and sounds / voices rom two different SatNav folders which are stored on the SDCard - but not the podcast folders!!
    It even lists a folder of foreign language audio mp3 files - but not the podcast files.
    The podcast files appear fine in PowerAmp whic even shows the tags and descriptions etc....So, why not Walkman?
    I even tried unmounting and re-mounting the SDCard to see if it would rescan - but still nothing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • How to restore a deleted built-in app (Maps)?  App disappeared: IOS 4 & 3GS

    Does anyone know how to restore a deleted built-in app?
    In my case the Maps app disappeared. According to other posts in this forum you cannot delete a built-in app such as Maps but it has happened on my iPhone 3GS.
    I'm running IOS 4.

    If you are unable to locate the Maps app you can still access it from the Spotlight search window. Just type in Maps, look for the familiar interstate 280 icon, tap there and you will enter the Maps app. This will work for you until you can locate the icon, which hopefully you will.
