Walkman app - shuffle list?

Z1 phone - Walkman app - enter palylist and press on a song, all ok song starts playing. I select shuffle and it does not appear to work. At the end of the song it does not carry on to any other selection. How do I get this to work please?

Yep, I am having the same issue with the walkman player on my Xperia Z1. The Walkman app is the latest version, but it simply will not shuffle songs. I have have some songs on the phone memory and a micro SD chip, and no matter what I do, it just repeats the current song. It will show the songs that it should be playing next, but it won't play them. Nothing wrong with the micro SD chip either. I can take it out, put in another device, and the songs suffle perfectly well. Can anyone out there provide some ideas about how to fix?

Walkman App Wish List And Issues

Wish List
As many downloads now come with a PDF booklet as well as cover art, an option in the Walkman app to display the album PDF (launch in another app ?) would be great.
Will Walkman ever playback Apple lossless .m4a or is this commercially sensitive? I read that Apple may be porting iTunes to Android so that’s maybe food for thought.
If .m4a will never be supported, a reliable and accurate GUI based conversion tool (to FLAC and other formats) that runs on PC and Mac would be great. There is a lot of badly written freeware around for this ! Although I will continue to use a Mac, I will do anything to get away from iTunes (I am not alone !).
I can see a kind of Coverflow feature but it needs to be smoother and faster so you can browse and select this way !
Problems
When I copy my own files to the Walkman, albums with multiple discs in separate folders appear in correct order until disc 10, which then comes out above disc 1 !
An album download from a High Res site had one empty file, which they later supplied and I put in the same folder as the rest. The Walkman app creates a new album folder for the single track, and puts a ‘:’ after the title. Tags are all correct, (including track numbering) and the only differences for this single file are the creation and modification dates.

I doubt that Android will support ALAC, why? well I'm certain that you know how much apple loves android
You can convert your ALAC into FLAC or 320kbps mp3

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!

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, on Experia SP "Cannot play song"

Does anyone know why the Walkman app LISTS all of my songs but only plays certain ones. For many it comes up with a message simply saying "Cannot play song"? This is driving me nuts!

Hi,
Thanks for this. I sussed it out already. The problem seems to be simply that the non-playing songs are in "WMA" (Windows Media Audio) format. I just copied them all from my PC to the SD card. I reckon what I need to do is just convert them from WMA to MP3/4 probably just using Mediago). Simple but time consuming as there are hundreds!

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.

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.

Hi Madhu,
Once you deploy your App, The App will get deployed to the App web rather host web. That is reason you will not be able to find the app either in App part or webpart section of host web.

I am unable to update my apps in IPAD1. The App icon lists the available updates but seems to be frozen.

I am unable to update my apps in IPAD 1. The App icon lists the updates but appears to be frozen. The individual app icons show the space where "waiting" usually appears and do not work. If I touch the apps icons, I get a message that states..."Unable to download. Do you want to try again." (or something similar).

See if this helps. Reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Reboot/reset your iPad as well and then try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

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!
Go to Solution.

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!

Music App shuffle option doesn't work

Stats: iPad 1, iOS 5.0.1
Music App shuffle option doesn't work. I have already reset the iPad, removed all my music and resynched. Shuffle button is selectable, but just plays the songs in alphabetical order, even if I try to skip to another song or start anywhere on my playlist.
So far this version of music player for apple product is disappointing, the iTunes app before never had these issues. There are some serious bugs in this Music app, Apple your comback success was largely because of iPods and iTunes, so music is a big part of Apple users use, please fix this.

Hello,
Yes I believe this is a known bug in Firefox OS v1.0. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883781 Bug 883781].
The bug is marked as resolved in Firefox OS v1.1. Once ZTE update the Open to v1.1 the bug will be fixed on your device.
v1.1 of Firefox OS was officially released yesterday. Hopefully it won't be too long before it reaches the ZTE Open. See here for more details:

[A, C, B]
[B, A, C]
[B, C, A]
[C, A, B]
[C, B, A]
Here is the simple code i have written. I hard coded the number of permutations as i know the value to make it simple.
The problem is in those 6 permutations, few are being repeated which I dont want
Please help me out with this problem.
import java.util.*;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;
public class sample {
     public static void main(String args[]) {

hi,
may be this can help you. i found this code in [http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=5214|http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=5214] under the user zylum.
the code is used for integers. but i managed to change is to Strings too and it shuffles without REPETITION. :) so i hope this helps:
int[] numbers = new int[52];
int randNumbers = new int[22];
for (int i = 0; i < 52; i ++) numbers[i] = i;
for (int i = 0; i < 52; i ++) {
    int idx = Math.random()*52; //i forgot how to do random in java so im using the action script way which is prolly the same way
    int temp = numbers[idx];
    numbers[idx] = numbers;
numbers[i] = temp;
for (int i = 0; i < 22; i ++) randNumbers[i] = numbers[i];
