Sony Music app unable to read songs in sd card - Xperia Z3 Compact Themes and Apps

Hi,
The sony album app can read my pictures on the sd card just fine but the music app seemed to not be able to. It was able to last week. Might it be because of the sep 4 update that I installed? I tried to:
reinstall the app
delete the app cache
delete all cache
check for .nomedia files inside the Music folder (I have my music placed in a 'Music' folder in the top location of the sd card)
remount sd card
anyone else having this problem or most probably it is just me?

Ok, the solution
i copied my whole Music folder from the SD card and pasted it in my computer.
delete the music folder
clear the music app cache and restart the phone
create the music folder again in the sd card
copied each sub folder in my music file back

[Q] Songs auto deleted

I created a folder named "Music" on my SD card, put some mp3's into that folder, plays fine on my HD2, After I restart my phone, all of the mp3's inside the folder are GONE!...
Anyone have the same problem?, Need to be fixed ASAP

DirectoryBind not quite working as planned

I'm trying to use DirectoryBind to fool WinAMP into putting music onto the external SD Card during Wireless sync. So, I create a bind. /mnt/extSdCard/Music/ to /sdcard/Music/ So that when WinAMP syncs to sdcard/Music/ it should actually go to my SD card.
However, this isn't working.
After creating the bind, then initiating a sync it copies the music ok, but nothing at all shows in ES File Explorer in EITHER folder, which is weird. So, if I disable the bind and refresh, the music shows up in /sdcard/Music/
How would I mount /mnt/extSdCard/Music to /sdcard/Music/ instead?
EDIT:
I correctly have a folder on my SD card to mount my external SD card and make it accessable and it works fine. I don't see why this won't work.
For instance, I have a folder /sdcard/extsdcard/ which is, of course, actually /mnt/extSdCard/. When I go to /sdcard/extsdcard/ in ES File Explorter, I see the whole external SD card and all it's files.
Why won't this work for my music?

delete all music

I want to delete all the songs on my device and I only found an option to delete only one at a time.
How can i delete them all?
Thanks in advance
My files, go to location where music is stored on internal or external SD card, select all, delete. Or just delete the entire folder.

music players not finding music on external sd

As above. I'm running Rootbox JB (AOKP/CM) and using my default player power amp I can navigate to the folders on the external card where 95% of my music is held. However player pro or jet audio do not find this by default and I have been unable to manually navigate to the card. I've tried renaming the folder from Music to Songs to no avail. Any clues guys ?

have you checked to see if the music folder has a .nomedia file in it? use es file manager (or similar) and select show hidden files, if it's there delete it.
No there's no .nomedia file in the folder or sub-folders
I thought I'd sussed it. This is a new 32gb card that I had formatted in Cw recovery. When I put the card into the PC windows couldn't 'see' it. I found the file structure was RAW. so I transferred the files off. Reformatted as NTFS and transferred back. Now the computer can see everyrhing fine, but the problem is still there with the music apps.

Shuttle Music Player fail! Please, help!

Welcome,
I have Shuttle Music Player app - a really nice music player for Android. But I have a problem with it.
Last month I created .nomedia file to make some folders disappeared in Gallery. But first localization of .nomedia was external SD card. After creating .nomedia there Shuttle didn't recognize any music file. This is normal, I know. But after deleting .nomedia Shuttle still not recognizing music files. Reinstall didn't help. Someone can tell me, why?
[EDIT] In stock music player is the same situation.

Try unmounting and mounting your SD card in Settings > Storage.
I had the same concern.
Removing and re-installing the external SD-CARD fixed the concern.

As has been mentioned before: unmounting and re-mounting the SD card should solve the problem, maybe a simple reboot of your device could be used also.
A short explanation why you have been facing this problem. As far as I know, Shuttle uses the Android media library, which is built up by the internal media scanner of your device. This media scanner runs at start-up of your device or when a storage is mounted, e.g. your SD card. When you place a .noMedia file in a folder to exclude it, the media scanner will ignore all files in this folder. When you delete the .noMedia file, you have to trigger the scanner to re-scan all files, so that the files from the formerly excluded folder ca be re-integrated into the media library and such being available again for music player apps or gallery apps.
Hi.
I'm trying to use this player, I organize mp3s in folders.
My problem is that mp3s are played only if they are in the root, internal or external sd.
if they are inside folders, they simply don't play.
