SOLVED!!! How to get the TF3D tab to show your music on your card?

groan · #1 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 02:58 PM

is there any way to have the tab to display the music you have in your my music folder on your card instead of in the onboard memory?

I tried pointing the default using Advanced Config but it does not display all the music i have on the card unless i go to More and then view ALL Music.

Thanks.

My music is on the SD card root in a folder named Music. I only have three groups with 4 albums but all of mine show up just fine.

Same, except I have more. I use Salling MediaSync to copy my itunes library over and keep it updated.

It's just in \Storage card\Music\Artist\*.mp3 ... TF3D picks it up fine, if I add more songs, I have to go to the music tab, tap library, go to all songs, and tap a random song again for it to update the playlist with all the new songs.

ok, i'll try moving my folder to the root instead of buried in my documents.
cheers. i'll report back if it works.
Yes that was the key, the Music directory should be in the ROOT of your card.

Forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question (kinda new to all of this) but what do you mean by it needing to be in the ROOT of the card? Right now, all of my music is stored on my 8GB card in such a manner that, when I open the file explorer, click on storage card, then I have a folder titled "card music" all of my artist folder...is there some way I can fix this so that the TF3D tab shows my albums in a "cover flow" type format instead of just the now playing file?

Rename the folder "card music" to "Music"

All my music is stored in a Music folder in the root of my sd card and does not show up, so this must not be a cure all fix

hmm. well it seemed to work for me.
I placed a folder at /Storage Card/Music
When i then did a soft reset (just in case) the music magically appeared on my music tab.
