Hey guys,
I've tried he stock music player, mixzing and xplay and nothing can find the music on my SD Card. I've used nearly every current Rezound Rom and they all have this same behavior. I've tried reformatting the SD, clearing data from all music/media search related apps, remounting the SD, fixing permissions, different folders, upper/lower case folder names, etc.
I've searched and found similar threads for different devices but no answers that worked.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks!
Use double twist. It's like iTunes for every device but apple. It'll let you load your music library and make it easier to load music in the future.
Also for reference my music is in sdcard/extsd/music/artists/album/songs
All I did was connect to my phone via USB, open the drive letter right after HTC STORAGE (the next drive letter should be the ext SD card), then make a directory called Music (capitalized), and copy the MP3 files to it, moved 451 files and then disconnected... Everyone show up in the stock music player and WinAmp, although it did take a few minutes for the list to populate.
I am pretty sure when you copy music to the SD card, it has to be in a directory called "Music", you can't just copy them to the root of the card.
I too have always just put all my music in a "Music" folder on the root of my sd, however depending on the device I've had players find music directly at root.
Have you tried using a like manager like astro to navigate to the files and play them directly?

You should be able to copy them everywhere and the music player should find it. I have music in "AmazonMP3" on the root, "musicdownload" where I get my music from Box, "Music" and even a song or two at root and "My Documents\Music" as well as a few in the "Download" folder as I've downloaded through http.
I'd say clear data from the music app in app management and let it rescan the card for data. Also, the phone can read WMA, MP3, MP4, M4A and maybe OGG. If you're trying some other formats I don't know if it'll see it.
P.S. On a funny note, the captcha just had me type TWATUS ... LOL
ROM Manager Sucks
I'll bet you have ROM Manager installed! The last two ROM Manager updates (including todays) for some dumb reason put a file called ".nomedia" in the root of the SD Card. This file prevents all media below it from being indexed.
Browse your SD Card and look for the file ".nomedia" in the root. Delete it and you will see all your media again.

I also face same problem and ur reply realy help me
Thanks for all your suggestions guys. I don't have a .nomedia file anywhere on the phone. I have all the music in a "Music" folder. I've tried everything in this thread as well as a dozen other things from other threads. It just doesn't work.
Weird thing is... the Gallery also can't see any photos/pics on the SD Card. It makes me think its a format problem or something? My SD is formatted FAT32? Should it be different?
How much extra "Junk" do you have on the SD Card... I just helped someone earlier today who had moved a microSD card from a Thunderbolt to the Rezound and it had a lot of extra stuff (old Nandroids, TiBu backups, and lots of other various files) and had the same issues. Copied everything off to a PC and formatted the card in the phone, then copied over the same music in the same folder and it was recognized like normal. Not saying this is the fix, but just did it this morning and it worked fine for someone else.
look in google play for a sd rescan app. Have that scan your card, that will help sometimes.

OMG!!! This worked! I had moved everything off the SD and formatted with the phone like a dozen times but always put everything back all at once. When the only thing on the card was music it found it right off.

Major thanks for your suggestion. I have an HTC One X+ with stock rom (it's new, I haven't got round to customising yet ) I copied Music folder on my old One X to the new One X+.
The stock music app could not find any of my music. Using the sd rescan app worked and made it find it. I was getting very annoyed with it, so thanks again.

I have an HTC one V with android 4.0 an tried to figure out how to get the apps to play mp3 files on the storage card.
the phone stores pic and video's in a directory called DCIM\100MEDIA\
I copied the song files (mp3) to that directory with the pics and videos
the default player , winamp , and doubletwist all found the songs.
hope this helps you or any one else trying to play songs on there storage card with android

This worked for me, thanks! Songs in my SDCARD\Music folder were not showing up in any music player, but the second I put them into SDCARD\DCIM\100ANDRO, they showed up in Play music! Why is this?

Forum was getting a little bogged down with a few issues so I thought I would start a problem specific thread. I have transferred files (music and movies) to my 16gb micro SD. All the music is there, but every mp4 and avi file is gone. The only solution I can think of is to insert the card when I need it and removing when done. I love this tablet and the vegan beta 4 rocks. Much thanks to the hard work. I was curious if anyone has a solution to the sd card issue? It seems like it was happening on multiple roms.
Seems videos are lost during SD card scanning. What worked for me was create a ". nomedia" file in the root directory of sdcard2. Haven't lost any since.
Will try that. Thanks.

Question to Viewsonic:
Is this by design or is it just another problem?
I've got the same problem on my Htc Flyer.
How have I to create this file ?
has to be the name just like "aa.nomedia" ? Did I understand well ?

No, it's actually a file named ".nomedia" nothing else. You can use notepad++ on your PC to create it, or a file explorer on the device. You don't need any text in the file at all, just a blank file called .nomedia
Most instructions state to put it on the root of the SD card, but I took it an extra step and put it in every directory including the root...just to be safe, ya know
Today I found that the contents of my SDCARD (internal) was deleted. It doesn't look like the SDCARD was formatted because 1 or 2 files were still left behind.
I don't know if this was what triggered the delete but this is what I did prior to it happening:
In Settings I unmounted the 32 GB micro-sd card. The alert said it was safe to remove the card.
I ejected the card.
I reinserted the card. The G-Tablet did not detect it.
I powered down the G-Tablet and then powered up.
The external card was now detected ad I found that I lost the contents of the internal card.
I am using update 3389 with the Enhancement Pack v1.
This is not good.
Was it just media files? If so, then this is a known issue (with stock, as well as mods like TnT Lite and VEGAn).

The DCIM folder was deleted. I also had a folder named "download" in which I had several PDFs and a subfolder with APK files. The xScope folder (with Cache, downloads and Themes) was deleted along with a few more that I do not remember their names.

I have been searching the forums looking for a fix for this and I haven't been able to find one. Tried to search the forums with an advanced search from Google as well, no lock. This is an old thread, but is there any update to this? Running Vegan 5.11, Pershoot kernal. I had a bunch of pictures and video that were deleted, but the folders/containers they were in were not deleted. Thanks in advance for any help.

When you apply this file everything is supposed to stay and not be deleted right?
I installed VEGAn-TAB 7.0 and had the same problem with media files disappearing (.mp4 video files and .jpg files). Happened when I deleted one file from the internal storage (memory). Next time I came in to the Videos folder on the internal storage everything was gone. Another time happened after I unmounted and removed my external micro SD Card 16gb. Also had the same thing happen with media files disappearing from the external micro SD Card. Very frustrating. Finally put all those elusive media files on my trusty 8gb Transcend Flash Drive and lo and behold, everything worked fine and I could play all those videos, remove the USB drive and when next inserted everything was okay. For whatever reason, the USB flash drive works far better and more safely than the micro SD card. Plugged the USB flash drive into my USB 2.0 4-port hub along with the USB keyboard and USB mouse.
i am seeing conflicting fixes.
some people say to make a file named .nomedia in the root of the sdcard2
other people say to make a folder named .nomedia and put all your files inside.
the 3rd fix i see is to make a .nomedia file in each directory that contains media
which is the correct method.
thank you.

how did you make the file? if you are using windows to create the file over usb, it automatically adds .txt to the end. i suggest making it through a file manager on the tablet.
i have not tried this yet, i will when i get home.

i used notepad but i enabled "show known file extensions" and made sure its a .nomedia file. Even windows sees it as a .nomedia file.
I will try to make it from the tablet and see if that helps.

creating the .nomedia folder with ifilemanager worked. I created the folder then moved the files to the SDcard. I have rebooted numerous times and the files are still there. Previously they would have been deleted.

My problem is apps being deleted and not media.
I hope this thread isn't getting too old. So I am having similar issues with files being deleted periodically after some reboots, the only difference is that the majority of the time they are apps and no longer media.
Specs:
-Running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 stable
-I have created .nomedia file and placed on root of SD (no file extension)
-I use Apps2SD Pro to move apps to sd card
-When I notice that an app no longer appears in my tray after a reboot, i will reinstall from the market and before the install it will tell me that "this will replace an existing version already installed" which leads me to believe that the app is still there just not accessible.
There were a few instances where some of my ebooks and pdf's were being deleted, but that stopped after I placed the .nomedia file on the SD, but dont seem to see any change regarding deleted apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
Hello,
I bought my Galaxy S II a few days ago. One of the first things I did was rooting it. Then I proceeded to install some apps, and getting my music on the phone. I downloaded Winamp Pro, since I use Winamp on my computer. So I copied my music folder to an external SD card (I have 6,1 GB of music, and I don't want it on the internal memory). The folder structure is a Music folder with bands, and inside the folder I have another folder called Soundtrack, for, well, my soundtracks.
So I putted the folder on the SD (since Winamp wasn't syncing with my device), and it worked great. Then I installed some more apps, and for an unknown reason, my SD became corrupted, so I formated it, and put the musics on it again. But since them the music aren't being recognized. After the format, Winamp found the device, and I used it to transfer the musics. But halfway trough I realized that he as putting the artists and albums in different folders, so I stopped it, and deleted the folders. I put the musics manually, but every time I opened Winamp, or the stock music player, It was only seeing the musics that were on the folders before I deleted them, and also it was showing a Samsung album and a (I think it's was this name) sound album. I them installed CF-Root kernel trough Mobile ODIN, and flashed MIUI through CWM. The MIUI player was having the same problems.
Now, I searched a lot, here and on Google, but nothing worked. I tried:
Putting the musics on the internal Music folder
Searching for a .nomedia folder
Searching by folder (The musics are there, but when I select any of them they don't play)
Filter by Folder on MIUI player (There's no folders to thick, it just shows a pop-up asking to select folders, and an Ok and Cancel button)
Rescan, trough a Media Scanning App
Selecting another folder on MIUI player (Can't do that either. The first time I opened the folder view, there was a list of musics, but it disappeared after a second.)
Changing the folder name
Clearing the data and cache for both apps (Winamp and MIUI)
And I restarted the phone after every single procedure
I think I didn't forget anything.
But anyway, that's it. I have music in both folder (internal and external SD) now, and none of the Players are recognizing the music.
So what I have to do?
Thanks,
Hexagono.
Try with a single file first make sure it is a MP3 that actually plays .
Put it on the phone via cut and paste to internal sd card ..
Open My Files app navigate to that MP3 and open it ..
Check MIU actually has a working music player .
That fails i would wipe phone and flash stock firmware .

Ok.
I put a single music on the root of the internal Music folder.
Winamp, not recognized it. But it played the song when I chose it by Folder. (And didn1t display the album art (which happens every time I chose something by folder))
MIUI Player, didn't recognize it, an it didn't display on the folders view (Which, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't have an option to browse trough the folders.)
MIUI File Explorer crashes on opening.
So, flashing stock? Or I can re-flash MIUI?

This REALLY sounds like you either have a .nomedia file floating around, or need to format your internal memory (aka USB Storage), as it may have corrupt memory sectors. I'd copy everything from internal memory (/sdcard), format your USB storage, copy it back. If it's still doing this, scour your files for a .nomedia file more carefully.

I search for .nomedia, and found some, but that didn't solved the problem.
So I copied everything and formates. This time I decided to try something else, and I putted the musics on /external_sd, which worked.
So that kinda solves my problem. The only thing is that I want the music on my SD, not on the internal (I putted two songs. One in external_sd and another on the I: drive (Which is my SD drive). Only the one on external_sd showed up).
But thanks anyway. At least I'm able to listen to music now.

Seems you're confused.
/sdcard/external_sd is the sd card you plug in.
/sdcard is the phone's "internal" memory. It is what is left of the included 16gb of the phone memory after System memory, App space, and the OS.

But the files I put on /external_sd doesn't show up at the I: drive.
And also, I take my words back. With one song it recognized. but with the whole library not.
EDIT: More test, more strange.
So I've putted 3 songs. One I put in I:/Music and one I put in H:/external_sd/Music, and one on both.
The song I've putted on both get recognized, it plays, and show the album art. The one in external_sd, virtually exact like the one I but in both (the only notable difference is that the bit rate of this one is 3 less than to one on both) is recognized, but it don't play (MIUI says that the file type is not supported, and the file type is the same as the one i put in both) and doesn't show the album art. The one I've putted only on I:/Music, does not show up.
EDIT 2: This is creepy.
So now I put the song that wasn't working in I:/Music and it magically works. And the one I've putted only on I:/Music, still does not show up.

The letter "I:" means nothing to me; on my current computer, my phone maps to "E:" and "G:". ("F:" is already taken by a network drive)
/sdcard and /sdcard/external_sd both map to drive letters. Is "I:" the first one, or second one mapped when you plug your phone in and turn on USB storage mode?
If it's the first one, then "I:" will be /sdcard. If it's the second one, then "I:" will be /sdcard/external_sd.
So if your drives map to "I:" and "J:", then "I:" will be /sdcard. But if they map to "H:" and "I:", then "I:" will be /sdcard/external_sd.
Make sense?
EDIT: I see what you're doing. You're putting stuff in H:/external_sd. Don't do that. I: is your external_sd

That is correct. H: is internal, and I: is SD card.
But as you can see, the music apparently only works if the file is both on the H:/external_sd/Music folder AND the I:/Music folder.

No offense, but I can't see. This is happening on your phone. I have 8 gb of mp3 files on my external sd card, and they're only in one place. And I happily listen to them just fine, with album art and everything. So I'm not quite sure what is happening on your phone.
EDIT: for example; E: for me is internal memory, and G: is the external sd card.
E:/external_sd is COMPLETELY BLANK for me. It says there is nothing in there.
G:/music has all my mp3s.
So I'm not sure what is going on with your phone, but this is how it should work.
For you, H:/external_sd is intended to be a virtual mapping. You shouldn't be dropping files in there. Any files you want on the external sd card should be going into I:

Yeah. Thanks anyway.
And I expected that it should be a virtual mapping. When I use Super Manager (Since Root Explorer crashes) to go trough the folders, when I go to external_sd it goes to the external SD and I can see the files there. It makes absolutely no sense that the music players aren't seeing the files.
EDIT:
So I downloaded PowerAmp, and it recognizes the music. The problem is with MIUI Player, and Winamp.
EDIT 2:
So I woke up this morning, after putting the rest of the music, and re-scanned with Power Amp. Them, everything worked. -.-
There's a problem with the ID tag (Some music from the same albums are showing as a different album) and the album art is really low quality. But I can listen to music now!
Thanks to ctomgee and JJEgan.
Hi,
I've had my Prime for a couple of weeks now - a great device, but one thing that is bugging me - I can't seem to copy music to the Music directory on the internal storage.
So far, the only mechanisms I've tried are copying music from the external SDHC card or the external Micro-SDHC card over to the internal memory - fail, or copy over the LAN using ES File Explorer directly - fail.
I have successfully copied movie files over to the internal storage, but the internal Music directory still has just the default files shipped with the tablet.
The one thing I haven't tried is copying directly from a PC over the USB cable, but I shouldn't really need to resort to this surely - it's not an Apple device after all!
Has anyone else had this experience? Am I missing something here? :-/
Regards,
Bruisah
[Replying to my own post - what poor etiquette! ]
Update: I can copy the default music out of the folder, and I can rename the folder, but I cannot write to the folder, nor delete it, nor delete the contents.
Workaround was to rename the folder ".music.orig" to make it 'hidden', create a new "Music" folder, copy the default music across (I haven't listened to it, so...), and copy my own music into the new Music folder...
Presumably, ASUS want to make sure the default music survives a hard reset...(?)
Still, irritating...
Regards,
Bruisah
if u use the asus file manager i can tell u itz bugged (not that badly), it corrupt my download and music folder before on separate occasions.
btw after factory reset the free music are gone.
Recently i formated my sd card and phone memory. After that, i put all my music, and photos back on the card. I flashed viperrom 2.0.2 and know no music player can load up my music for playback. They all say, searching sd card but never move on from there. I was wondering if anyone knows whats wrong. I dont think its a problem with the music files since i can access and play them from any file explorer. Any help will be greatly apreciated. Thanks

I have been having the exact same issue as you. I have tried all of the recommended fixes I could find on the net including: deleting all instances of the .nomedia file at the root level followed by clearing the media storage data, reformatted my 16gb micro sd card using all available format methods (erasing phone storage within android, mounting sd card to the pc, putting sd card directly into pc sd slot using adaptor, etc.), removed and remounted sd card, unrooted and rerooted, installed various different 2.13 roms (all of which give me the same issue, recovering back to an earlier base rom and everything works fine), used the Rescan Media app from the market, tried a different micro sd card. etc, etc, etc. The phone will still not recognize the media files (i can see and play them through any file explorer such as ES, Astro, etc.). I am at a loss and don't know what else to try. I am glad I am finding more and more people with this issue though as it will hopefully give it some more attention with those on here who actually know how to diagnose and correct this problem!!

Ok so now my problem got even more weird! Trying to be creative, I created a new folder on my card called All Music. I moved all my music from the Music folder to this new folder and now all of the music appears (although some of the tags/album art are now messed up). I can listen to and see all the music in any music player (ubermusic, google music, etc.) However, as soon as I rescan the media, they all disappear!! WTF is going on here?
Check for a nomedia file and delete it if you find it
Factory reset did the trick for me working fine know
