- I find the lack of faith disturbing....now I love BBs but the media player is garbage. This is my 3rd BB the latest being the torch, and when I uploaded my music there's all these question marks in front of and in back of all song titles and I mean all of them...now this is frustrating to say the least. I upload all songs from the same location, my PS3. Honestly its 4 "?" Per title. A assume no one else has had this difficulty, as I am usually the only or first one to discover problems with a lot devices...so I guess you could call me the Christopher Columbus of blackberry issues. My last BBs it was an issue of everytime I downloaded a song from itunes or any other website or even my pc for christsake, it would send songs to different destinations i.e. Media card, or blackberry folder or media folder or under folder phone then media then music. Basically I had 2,000 songs scattered about on my phone, **** some would even go to my ringtone folder (and in case you were wondering if I had the download destination selected to the media card the same everytime.. Yes I did). So when I bought this new torch my first thoughts literally were on the media player, well although I am loving the new RIM phone I am left cursing the gods, and have since stopped fighting what seems to be an inevitable losing battle with RIM's distasteful media player. I guess Canadians don't have a taste for music lmao...just kidding don't get your panties in a bunch it was a joke. Seriously though, here's an example of how my media player shows my songs categories and artist names: ??Beastie Boys, ??To all the ladies, ??Pauls boutique, ??rock/rap/punk. Now while still alphabetized it is an eyesore. So I ask this next question, with little faith knowing the final outcome of anyone's answer. Does anyone else have this problem? And question 2: HEY RIM do you have a solution to this ever-growning nuesence of a problem that will ultimately stray me away from BBs all together? Thanks for reading fellow Crackberry-heads.

I have done a sync with DM as well as a drag and drop with no issues. XP and Win7. Sounds more like a PS3 issue than a BB issue.

My torch has never done this. I have a Mac so I send my music/movies through bluetooth and nothing has ever had even one "?" In its name unless the song title had a "?" In it.

I drag and drop(via windows using everything from xp to 7) all music files onto my devices. I'm wondering if his problem is to do with the ps3 and not the BB, if this was the way it was for everyone, you wouldn't be the only one complaining.12-21-10 10:52 AMLike 0

- The only thing I can think if that could be causing it are foreign language characters. If that's not the case, then your ID3 tags are messed up. Like barrist mentioned, you just need to use a program like MP3Tag to correct them.

I can select between the media card or internal data, playlists work just fine, and everything from the id3 tags makes its way to the Torch with no issues or missing info including album art. If anything is missing it is my fault for not inputting it on the tag.02-05-11 10:56 AMLike 0
- Yet another complaint thread based on user error. I really hope you get these sorted out, but why open a thread saying the media player sux (when it doesn't) instead of opening a thread saying you are having a problem?

i have 45 GB of music and video collection.
i never had any problems with tags or those question marks (?) that you've mentioned.
and i didn't have any problems with songs/videos being misplaced on a different file.
most of the members here believe it's a USER error.
C'mon guys.. blame the PS3, blame the Torch, blame the laptop but not the USER.
it's the machine's fault that they didn't explain/communicate themselves clearly to the USER.02-05-11 05:07 PMLike 0 - Its your PS3, I sync over 2000 songs with mediamonkey and I have no issues at all!
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com02-06-11 07:39 AMLike 0 - I have 20 gbs of music on my torch and I have not one problem with any song title. Yiur ide3 tags or whatever its called aound messed up. This often happens when you rip songs from an ipod or other device simply by copy and dragging. You need to extract them properly with a program to keep the correct tags
