REPRODUCIBILITY: Always
OS VERSION: 4.5.0.19
HARDWARE: Xperia 10 Plus
UI LANGUAGE: French
REGRESSION: Maybe
DESCRIPTION:
I think the title is pretty self-explanatory
PRECONDITIONS:
Some music somewhere in your file system from where it can be read by the media app
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Put some music files somewhere readable, for example, in the Music folder of an SD Card
Change the name of any title from the command line, e.g. mv Music/Rebecca_black/Fraiyday.wav Music/Rebecca_black/Friday.wav (sorry, I couldn’t resist )
Wait forever for the change to be reflected in the music app.
EXPECTED RESULT:
The ‘mv’ also changes the title of the track in the music app
I had forgotten that many years back, I set about removing ALL id tags from my music collection (16GB). The only time I use my device is for the odd podcast or streaming SomaFM (which the device also struggles to deal with), so it’s been a while since I’ve encountered any problems. I’m still using WinAMP on Windows for ALL my music.
I will assume the OP did actually fix his problem, but your point is very valid @ziellos, nice reminder, thanks!.
There is no formal standard way of doing that, but there is software out there that does it anyway, e.g. MediaMonkey and iTunes(!).
I expect Tracker3 to be able to read files like that, but have not checked this.
Download an audio with NewPipe ;
Open jolla-music ;
Check if the file is listed by jolla-music ;
Open a terminal ;
Rename the file. It’s usually located at ~/android_storage/Music ;
Check jolla-music (which hasn’t be closed) ;
File is not renamed
