Xperia Z1 Walkman app

After upgrading to Android 4.3 and Walkman Ver. 8.1.A.0.3, I found that the Sound effect -> Sound enhancements -> settings couldn't be access. It quits automatically.
Besides, I can't use the throw (DLNA) to my Home theatre System nor Bravia via Walkman app.
Anybody has the same?

Thank you very much. It's okay after repairing.
However, there is an update of Walkman app to ver.8.1.A.0.3.
Is this version causing my problem before? Should I update it?
BTW, just found that "Throw" cannot support FLAC file.
I really hope there is an improvement of Walkman app on folder monitoring setting, "Throw" and file supporting like .ape.

Xperia C walkman app malfunction

Hi,
I purchased a Xperia C series just week ago. The walkman app does not play any music properly. The songs get stuck at any random point like a tape record. Is the phone I purchased defective?
Thanks,

Xperia Z1 Walkman app Music info

Hi, so I put my SD card into the phone with lots of music, and I found this "cool" feature called Music info so I gave it a try, updated about 1000 tracks and now it is all so disorganized I cant even find anything. Is there any way I could delete the downloaded info?

Thank you for your answer. This is the first thing I did, however it didn´t work. For some reason it kept all the music updated. For example, if there are more Artists on the Album, in Walkman I have all of them instead of one, even when its featuring. Have Random Access Memories from Daft Punk, under "D" I have Daft Punk, Daft Punk feat. Giorgio Moroder, Daft Punk feat. this and this etc. And you can imagine how it looks when all tracks are done with different people.
Also, Albums are split as well, I have all Discography of Muse, including SPs and EPs, most of them are split into two or more albums now..? Actually instead of 27 there are 38 albums...
I would try deleting the music and copying again on my SD card, nut I´m at work so no chance getting it done here, I just thought if there was another way.

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.

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!

Messing up the Walkman app

I put up a review with the new Walkman app update on Google Play, but I feel very strongly about this and wanted to address it here also to make sure my point gets across. The worst mistake that could have been made with updating the Walkman app was to change it to "Music."
I remember when I first got my Xperia Z and saw Walkman there on the home screen, I was immediately impressed, just seeing the Walkman name and logo made me feel I had made the right choice in purchasing an Xperia and I felt that I surely had a superior phone to my friends and associates with iPhones and Galaxies and everything else. The Walkman name and logo immediately brings to mind quality. I don't use Google's Play Music because I have a Walkman, I have the Amazon MP3 Player and only use that for streaming Prime music because I can't listen to it otherwise. Any songs I buy on Google Play or Amazon I will download to my phone's SD card even when it is an extreme pain in the neck and I have to jump back and forth from my phone to computer and upload and download files multiple times, because I have a Walkman. Even though I'm still listening to the songs on my Xperia Z and the actual audio quality isn't significantly different from one app to the other, I prefer Walkman for the simple fact that it is Walkman, That name and logo bring to mind a high quality, satisfying musical experience. Changing it to "Music" with a musical note for a logo makes me feel like I've just been robbed. It looks like it's just some generic, garbage music player app I found on Google Play. I feel like something valuable has been taken from me and replaced by some rip off junk, like the "Suny" electronics you can find for sale in the alleyways of Hong Kong. I played with the new "Music" app a little bit, and I know it isn't really that different. I don't like the full screen view of the current song, I very much preferred the old style with open space around the album art, and the next song up's album showing on the side, and the effect when you tapped the album to bring up the + (artist) star and infinity buttons. Besides that it is essentially the same, but with the new name and logo, I don't want to use it anymore. I don't want to listen to "Music", I want to listen to my Walkman. I was able to uninstall the update and get back to version 8.5.A.3.2 with the Update Center app, so I'll keep using that for now, but please, Sony, change it back to Walkman.

Thanks for the link to the other topic. If I did get the second widget when I updated to 4.4.4, I must have just removed it from the home screen and never given it a second thought. As far as with the Music update, I still had the older widget on my home screen before I uninstalled Music, so I didn't notice, however over on the Google+ Walkman Beta Test community I did notice a post about the new Music app (not sure if it's the just released version or an older beta) complaining about the same thing, so I'd say no, the progress bar and start/end times are still missing from the widget. Here's the picture from Google+.

Music Unlimited Won't Show Up In My Walkman App

On my Z it worked fine and it may be cause I bought an imported model, but I can't get Sony Music Unlimited to show up within my Walkman app. Any ideas or fix or do I just suffer from early adoption? Thanks!

It sounds like your phone comes from a country where the Music Unlimited service is not available. The phones we sell in countries that doesn't have Music Unlimited doesn't have any integration with this service in Walkman. You can still use the Music Unlimited app though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.snei.mu.phone

My walkman app is working fine but when a track is playing I see the message, Signing in - Please Wait. It shows then goes off, then appears and off again. Has a continuous loop and only way to stop it is to press the HOME button.
