PLAYLISTS NOT SHOWING IN THE WALKMAN (OR SSHOWING EMPTY)​

​

 ​

Simply when creating a playlist in your music management software check the format is m3u, m3u8, XML (iTunes) the most common and widely supported
 
if the don't show songs then:
 

• Go to your walkman directory (or microSD) open the playlist with notePad or other text editor
•  in the menu choose EDIT > Replace...

3. in the find what value insert the drive letter for example D:\ drive or E:\  (only put E: or D:) for example in E:\music\Antonio Vivaldi\<Album x>\<track 001>.flac just type E:
4. in the replace with insert two dots .. instead of the drive letter and click replace all so it changes to ..\MUSIC\Antonio Vivaldi\<album x>\<track 001>.flac

Most of my .dsf are showing Unknown in the walkman..
Funny is they also appeared normal in my JR centre and and also foobar2000.
 
So began my basic troubleshooting...
when I use Media Go to point to my library, same as my JR centre..
all the .dsf in folder tab is blank..
and when I started to tag them with Media Go..
I get this error "Error while writing metadata to ...."
So i removed all the tag and re-build it with Mp3tag and Media Go still see it as Unknown.
Tagged again with Media Go... and when saving, same error  "Error while writing metadata to ...." appeared again.
 
Although, after tagging with Media Go the album cover appeared with all properties.
Using the tool function to re-scan the files and everything is back to unknown..
Transfer the album using Media Go and album still appeared as "Unknown"
 
The above was tested with only 1 album.
 
anyone had idea to resolve this..
Ps all my collection tagging had been done with Mp3tag since day1

​Thta is so odd as all my collection is also tagged with MP3tag.. one thing it can be is that you have APE Tags
 
Go to tools > Options >Tagging

what do you want me to check?
I am not sure abt this APE tag/

​Try disabling the writing of APE  tags and remove the tags from the DSDs and put them back the tags on the DSDs with the Write of ape tags disabled. Trust me it happened to me too and saw that and removed them on my flac files and now they work as they should

 

[Stealer]

Okay.. will try .. thx again

Those files that was previuosly arranged under "unknown" had been rectified after removal of the APE tag.
However, somefiles still without album art.
Might try to clear all the properties and retag again to see if this help.

On the Media Go interface, all album art appeared as normal...
It gonna be tedius if need to redo all these tagging... sigh..

The lack of Album art an be on the first post of this thread, progressive jpg

 

[Stealer]

i had tested it by tagging those problematic (album art not showing) with an particular non problematic image.
So what u mentioned is 100% correct.. those albums previously not showing the image are now appearing with the images that i just tagged.
 
Now how to convert this so called progressive image to basline (jpeg).. i dont have any photoshop... 
only software called Gimp 2 that i use for image edit...
 
Any better ways to convert these jpeg??
Googling and found a free software to try but the explanation are too technical for me..
continue googling.................

I only have Photoshop so no luck i tried Paint but Paint doesnt solve the problem

I found this software and it works convert the image... but i still not very familiar navigating the software.
Its call IrfranView and need a plug-in to works with it.
Tested 3 images and all 3 works..

Sony shld take a look at the Media Go app.. 
the Media Go shld be able to format a microSD card and images that are progressive shld not appear in Media Go interface.
better still if provide a firmware upgrade to rectify this..
It gonna be a header when some album arts are not showing up...(for me, esp those foreign language albums which i can only recognise by their album art)
