Honestly I wasn't trying to give you a hard time, I have no problems with the Iphone or anybody who wants one. I just noticed that you seem to have a lot problems with your current device is all.

are you running 2.1 or 2.5 (manila/sense)

Can you explain what you're talking about?

I have a 16-gig card with about 12-gigs of music. I have no idea what class it is. I didn't know enough to ask (price was right).

I select artist and hit play from the HTC page... and it's nore more than a second or two before it starts & plays. Not noticably faster or slower than my iPod classic.

The TP2 isn't perfect and has it's share of issues. I just don't think I've experienced what you're describing with this one.

I too have had this problem since stock 6.1 and I've tried lots of roms with manila 2.1 or 2.5 and it always takes several minutes to start playing a song. I have about 6 gigs of only mp3. The sd card works great for everything else, I can't see how that would be the culprit and wmp and nitrogen play instantly. I have just always had to disable the music tab and map wmp to a fast icon. So you are not alone!

My music plays fine

I have tons of music on my SD card.

I am not sure if its a bug or not, it seems like manila is trying to read all the files first before playing the songs which might explain why it takes so darn long. Any fix for this?

And for the fanboys, yes, most likely I will switch to some other phone, either the next iphone 4G or Nexus One or something something similar. I'm just waiting for all the new phones to roll out which will probably take a couple months. So for the time being, its the TP2 and Sprint.

Ive got every single Korn album on my sd as well as about 2 gigs of other music on my sd and it plays from the music tab instantly?

I have a feeling its something your doing or installing. Maybe a bad memory card.

The same card works fine on a cheap Motorola EM330 phone I got for 20 bucks. I've always had this same problem since last year when I got my first tp1. It works fast when I use WMP, but as I said, wmp sucks.
