Right now i am using a motorola triumph. out of my big library of music, there are several songs that won't play in any music app i use. says this type of audio file is not supported. this also happened on my Optimus V before this phone. same files. every one of my songs is mp3, so thats not the issue. I tried cm7(gingerbread) on my triumph for fun to test, and THE SONGS I HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACTUALLY PLAY!, but froyo is more stable as a main phone right now so i am back to froyo, but wish i could play these songs. any ideas?

i agree i dont like gingerbread but either way i got froyo. soo my thing is when i transfer the files they good i have them all tagged and everything perfectly then when i safely remove it from the pc then hit the button on the phone it does a scan and itll say "unknown artist" and itll say that it cant play the supported file...so i load it back up to my computer and then i check the tags. nothing. i check the song. 0:00 wont play. its basically an empty mp3 capsule with corrupted data since it still says the same MB that the file was

so i tried converting it and burning it to a cd then ripping wit wmp and it all didnt work the phone just wont accept it. idk about if i upgrade itll work i upgraded it once on my galaxy prevail it corrupted my phone i had to get it into "downloading" mode so i could load up the OS then i saw how gingerbread is and its ugly as hell i would switch to it if i could do two things be able to customize all that shit like the dialpad is all back and when ur in a phonecall u tap the button id rather slide it. even tho my touchscreen is glitchy i dont hang up on ppl so thats a plus

anyways i deff would want sum help too i had this issue before and then i burnt out my 32GB SDHC so i got this one and slowly adding stuff and now im having the problem again so it would be much appreciated
