    <p>I have a music player app on the Market and my users starting reporting problems with music showing up as "Unknown Artist" and "Unknown Title" after the Froyo update. I have noticed the same behavior on my Motorola Droid 2 running Froyo. Doing some googling, I find other users (and even Last.fm confirmed the issue) that "Android" is not reading/storing tags correctly. I can't find any technical/developer feedback on this issue.</p> <p>Here's the code that has been working for 6 months prior to Froyo:</p> <pre><code>String whereclause = MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA + " = \"" + path + "\""; curSong = CR.query(MediaStore.Audio.Media .getContentUri("external"), new String[] { MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE, MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM, MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST }, whereclause, null, null); if (curSong != null) { curSong.moveToFirst(); title = curSong.getString(0); album = curSong.getString(1); artist = curSong.getString(2); } </code></pre> <p>After the query, curSong is not null, so the "if" block continues, but then I get CursorIndexOutOfBounds when trying to read <code>curSong.getString(0)</code>. Is there some new way that Froyo stores the tags in MediaStore?</p> <p>After some debugging, I find that the ID3 tags are just fine and still in the same place. The problem is with my whereclause. I am looking the song up by its path, which was previously stored in <code>MediaStore.Audi.Media.DATA</code>, but is apparently no longer there, so I'm actually getting an empty set form this query. Now I need to find where that path is stored.</p>

    1. COThanks for posting this. I'm developing a music player app and this information was very useful. I would vote it up but i just started this account and have no points. LOL. :/ GG on the code.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
