How to rebuild the music library on the HTC TouchPro 2

Music playback capability is provided by the TouchFlo 3D interface shipped with the HTC TouchPro 2. The player is able to play music in several formats from internal storage and memory cards. However, the library can sometimes become out of sync with the music actually loaded on the device. This guide describes how to perform a full rebuild (rescan) of the music library.

Some of the common symptoms of an out of sync library are:

• Duplicate tracks/albums/artists
• Missing tracks/albums/artists
• Deleted tracks still showing

To perform a full library rebuild start by disabling TouchFlo 3D. You can do this by going to Settings->All Settings->Personal->Today and clearing the TouchFlo check box.

Next, go to the Start Menu and open the File Explorer. Navigate to the folder "\Application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng" and then move the file called "AudioManager_Eng.vol" to your "My Documents" folder (this is so you can restore it later if something goes wrong).

Now, using the same method as before, re-enable TouchFlo 3D. Don't go to the Music tab yet – you need to soft reset your PDA. To do this press and hold the power button, then say "Yes" at the prompt. Wait 10 seconds then press the power button again to switch the device back on.

After the usual startup sequence you can go to the Music tab. It should display the message "Scanning". This may take some time. Eventually you should have a fully in-sync music library.
