Putting music on SD card and playing it on any of the 2 default music players causes music to play with these cuts and scratches, making it intolerable. When I play the same songs directly from the devices storage, there are no such issues.
I tried 2 different SD cards, formatted them both multiple times, tried all sorts of music and still the music sounds as if it was played from a ****ty broken 8-track cassette.
Any other tricks I could try? Is this a devices issue with SD cards in general or could it be something else?
Seems the problem was transferring files using Total Commander, when I used Windows Explorer, issue was resolved.
Never happened to me before, but then again,I just got mine a week ago,maybe the bug has been fixed with an update

After my sd card damaged and reformatted, it doesn't recognize most of the music file formats. Some mp3s play but some won't, and wma won't play at all. I tried switching to different roms other than cm7, but same problem occured. Any thoughts?
I have just yesterday purchased the Droid Razr 16GB on Verizon. I previously had an old samsung caliber with a 16GB micro SD. I wanted to use it for my music in my Razr so I installed the card and it claimed the SD was damaged. I then formatted the card with the phone and the error seemed to be resolved. I took out the card and copied music from my PC. When attempting to view the music in the stock player only a dozen artists showed out of about thirty. I have performed several routine actions to try to fix this including:
-Full FAT32 format in PC (not quick)
-Clearing Google Play Music App's data
-Clearing Media Storage data
-Powering off phone, removing/ reinstalling SD card, restarting phone
-Installing winamp, verizon's My Music app. (this always resulted in each app displaying the same dozen tracks the other apps)
-Unmount/ remount SD
-Change file types (though this seems to be unbiased. Mp3's or m4a's have both failed to play independently)
Some important info:
...The music in question was copied off of my stock, rooted wifi -only Xoom running 4.0.3 so it shouldn't be a problem. I also added music off of my external HDD which has not shown up.
...Each time the phone re-scanned the external SD for music only a dozen or so artists would show HOWEVER it was always different artists. (Ex. first scan: AWOL, Baroness, Led Zeppelin, etc. second scan: Cold War Kids, Kid Cudi, Passenger, etc.)
...Occasionally after unmounting the SD or rebooting the phone it would claim it was damaged again. A reboot would fix this.
...The Razr is a stock, non-rooted, fresh out of the box 2.3.6 Android phone.
I have run out of ideas short of cutting down the music and putting it on the internal. My only thought is that the SD card may be bad but it was working fine yesterday before I got the Razr. Any help would be appreciated.
New Symptom: It seems that the player is throwing the music into the LOST.DIR file on the SD card, so it reads them as corrupt and trashes them. Will investigate further.
SOLVED! Looks like there were two issues. The SD card had a bad sector which I fixed with the basic windows scanner. This fixed the songs moving to the LOST Directory. Also even though the tagging info was correct in windows, it wasn't correct on the razr. To fix this, I got the iTag app from the Play Store. It showed all unknown pieces of tagging info and allowed me to edit them. Now all music is on the SD card and there are no unknown artists!
You've tried Poweramp? With this you can manage your music by Folders. The Stock player uses the MP3 Tags. I have an huge DnB Collection, but not every Record has an Tag. So Stock Player doesn't order them right.

I use Mp3tag to tag al my music folders
included with folder icons! love it!
The songs are all tagged. I'm a meticulous librarian when it comes to my music.
Update: Woke up this morning and had to reboot the phone due to a common sound issue. I then checked the music player and all of the artists where there! So I connected the phone via usb to my computer and, wouldn't you know it? Damaged SD card again (again fixed by reboot). It seems to me that this may be a separate issue.
Possible solutions? Bad SD card? Maybe it just takes a long time to scan the card? I'm going to buy a new card today. I'll let you know the results. In the mean time, music is going on the internal SD. We'll see if that works
Hi Everyone
Had my I9100G for about six months, bought here in Tanzania, working like a charm with Cyanogenmod 10.1, updated regularly, now on RC2 from this month.
I used to have an 8GB sd card, with all my music on it, and nothing else save the odd folders created by android itself. For my birthday I treated myself to a new Transcend 32GB Class 4 card, and set about formatting it and putting it in the phone, primary purpose to store more music.
So i copied over about 25GB of music using an SD adaptor on my PC, and then inserted, and obviously the media scanner takes a few minutes to sortit all out, so I left it there, then after about 20 minutes went into Winamp (my main music player) and found of the 4000 odd tracks, that 3800 of them had "Unknown Artist".
I promptly searched these forums and others for solutions or symptoms that might have caused this, and decided to go back and try again, perhaps they didn't copy properly. I have tried using the SD adaptor on my laptop, using USB mass storage from the phone, and also using MTP, all of which have this same horrible symptom: UNKNOWN ARTIST.
Lots of posts say that this is caused by wrong ID3 tags, but the funny thing is that all of the 7GB of music i had on there before is now on the new card, and those USED to show artist names, all of them come from my main mp3 collection on my laptop, and never had this before.
I created a folder on my laptop to put all the music onto my phone, and used mp3tag to read and re-write the tags to all 4000 songs, I checked, then put them on the SD card, then checked again that the tags were still there, but when I go into Winamp (or Apollo - same result) still shows many many unknown artists for mp3s that it has worked with before without issue.
Last night, I wiped, formatted, reflashed the ROM, didn't update any apps or restore my backups, just treated it like a brand new phone, and the same thing is happening, whether i put on 200 songs or 4000 songs. It has now read the tag details for some of them, like Track 1 of lots of albums, but the other 10-15 tracks of each album have no artist. They do however show album artwork and song and album names, but no artist or genre.
What makes it worse, is that if I put my old 8GB card back in, it does the same thign to the music that USED to work fine!!!???!!!
Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this?? I don't think its the SD card, which I have tried formatted by the phone in CWM (which makes it unreadable in android) formatting FAT32 on the computer with allocation blocks of 16, 32 and 64kb, none of which make any difference. The way it is now is 16kb allocation blocks (default fo rthe card) and long formatted in windows (not the quick format - it took about 30 minutes to complete).
I shouldn't lose sleep over this, but its driving me crazy, as there are songs and albums that it used to recognise, and that the tags are there and valid in IDv3v1 and IDv3v2.3, nothign is mising, but the phone does not read them properly.
Also now it shows a different number of total tracks on each reboot, sometimes 3800 sometimes 3700 sometimes 3900....
Anybody know what else I can try???
OK... here's where it gets worse!!
I go into Albums, see a list of album names, with "Unknown Artist" below them, then if i choose to play a song, it tells me the name of the artist!!
Close/exit winamp and return and still shows Unknown Artist, but when the songs play they come up correctly??
Am i going mad???
What about other music apps ? (Native music app, Poweramp, etc) ?
cideaA was
Apollo is the native music app, and really this isn't the music apps fault, this is the media scanner not updating the local database.
Both Apollo and Winamp will use the same DB provided by the Media Scanner, so it won't matter which app i use, but for reference, i get the same results using both.
So, if anyone can help me, what is the best way to format the new card, and subsequently copy my music over to avoid this problem?
Hello everyone,
I have a bit of a problem with my Tablet, which is a Utok 1010Q (chinese tablet but branded by some romanian company). I have in it an SDHC card 32 gigs (class 10) and weirdly, it corrupts it when I plug my headphones in the tablet and try to listen either music or play a video on it, it just starts playing for a few seconds then it stops, and not only for videos or music, even when i try moving files from SD card to internal memory the card corrupts(the internal memory works perfect with the headphones plugged in). I tried this with different sd cards but the problem persists. The weird part is, when i unplug the headphones and try to play a video or listen to music, it works just fine!
Im in need of help on this matter, cause i dont know if it's a software problem or a hardware problem. (I play videos using MX player and music with the google app something).
Btw, i have no warranty for it because I won it and they dont give warranty for won items.
Thanks guys.
I'm having an issue with music playback. About once every song there is a short pause. Only happens when the mp3s are coming from the microsd card (Sandisk Ultra 128gb microsdxc class 10). Playback is smooth from internal memory. Transferring songs from microsd to internal memory transfers at 25mb/s so it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue.
I've tried:
Moving sim card to the other spot
Turning off wifi
Restoring back to stock (I'm running debloat script, no swap, rooted, adaway)
The problem still persists. The microsd came from a moto g 2015 and I did not have this issue with that phone.
Anyone have the same issue or know of a fix?
Uninstalling Facebook messenger worked for me.
Are you using Emui/stock music player? Which player do you use? Are you listening through phone speaker/headphones/Bluetooth? I have not experienced this issue with stock Music app on phone spesker so far.

I'm using Poweramp but have the same issue with Google music. I haven't tried the stock player. Issue happens through Bluetooth, headphones (wired), and phone speaker.
Messenger is not installed. Using Google now launcher.
Almost seems like it runs out of memory because it also happens when I open another app while listening to music.
It seems there are 2 folders added to the sd card, Android and LOST.DIR. Maybe the system is writing to these folders while I listen to music?
I tried a different sd card (Samsung Evo 32GB) and have the same issue. At this point I am assuming I have a defective phone.
