Help Ghost song in Sony Walkman app

stevend

Lurker
I had deleted an album from the Walkman app. All songs disappeared, exept 1. When I try to delete the song, nothing happens. When I try to play it, I get the error "cannot play track", which is ofcourse correct.

I then transferred the same album back to my phone, but now the ghost song appears twice in de Walkman app. Only one of the 2 plays ofcourse.

This is really annoying as the walkman now stops playing when it comes across the ghost music file.
Especcialy as I use the Walkman app while bicycling to work, with the phone in my back pack.

Any thoughts on how I can delete this ghost track? The file itselfs does not exist in the phone file system,
so somewhere the walkman app is keeping it's own tracklist. I just can't find where.

Thanks

Just found a fix for this on my Xperia Z: using File Commander (or any good file manager) delete the contents of this directory:

/storage/sdcard0/android/data/com.sonyericsson.music/files/cache/default

You might need to restart the app to see the old file references flushed.

Hope this helps
