Can anyone tell me how to set the stock music player to play music stored on the external sd card? I searched the forum and could not find an answer. I downloaded songs to mu sd card, but the music player does not list them. Thanks for any help

How long has it been since you downloaded the songs to the sd card? If it was recently and you had a lot of songs it might take a while for it to populate the information. I just put the music on my external and it found it just fine but I only had about 1 GB of music

Yea, what he said. I was having the same problem but it was with 21GB of music and eventually it all got caught up.
Thanks for the answers.

I think that is for when you are using the Motorola software, but some people like myself prefer to just manually move files over

Playlist created with PowerAmp. After it happened a few times I switched to PlayerPro but it happened again. I read somewhere that it might be caused by media scanner and I did add a HTML file to my phone last night.
What's causing this and how do I avoid it? Thanks

is your music stored on the external sd card?
I got the same problem whenever I hook up to the usb. I talked to the dev. and they told me that power amp doesn't keep track of tracks on a playlist that comes from the sd. Sad!

Yes, songs stored on external SD card. I'll move them to internal storage. Good thing the Vibrant has lots of storage. Thanks!
Edit: This is the solution because songs purchased from Amazon were stored internally and those tracks were not deleted.

I have comm rom on my fascinate and tons of songs on my sd card, but when i use the music player it doesn't have all the songs in the library. why is that? is there anyway to fix it? or make it work?
Double check the formats of your music to make sure its .mp3 or similar. Good place to start.
Sent from my Froyo'd Evil Fascinate full of PB&J
the formats are all .mp3
I can confirm this problem. The songs are there but the music player doesn't show them. A tiny bug...

use root exploret or similar and go into your sd card and delete the android folder and reboot. This fixed it for me. I've also had a problem where sometimes it would show the same song multiple times and it would fix that too.

Hi everbody.
I have Sensation with Android 2.3.5 right now. And there is a problem I couldn't solve and find any solution about it.
Some of my musics don't show up on library no matter which music player I use. These songs don't have any particular property that can cause it. Half of the songs of same album or different bitrates or same bitrates or same tags or different tags. It's just mixed at all.
I can see and play these songs using file explorers.
Different roms don't change anything either. Sense or CM.
Deleting and copying music files again or tagging again didn't solve.
Formatting SD card didn't solve.
Deleting cache of MediaProvider.apk didn't solve.
Changing file manes or folder didn't solve.
I use cover art downloader to refresh mediastore everytime but it doesn't stick.
I'm tired of it.
I'm open to the ideas...
What is the format of your songs that can't play normally?

MP3. To clear things up, they play normally but don't show up on libraries of music players. After I trig scanning they show up. After some hours they dissapears from libraries again.

I don't have this problem. I have up to 22mb mp3, 512kbps bitrate, mp3 or flac format.. btw, I use Google music.
If you try to search the music using search option in music app, will it work?

Mines are V0 Mp3 and their size are up to 15 MB. Average is 8 MB. Totally 1567 songs.
Search can't find them either because they're not included in library.
Btw, there are people who have that problem on the net. Even on Google forums(I don't know exact name) after long conversations still no solution as far as I read.
So no one has any clue?

Tried an hour ago, it added the missing songs to the library. Just came back to check if it's still ok but no luck. They dissapeared again.
unfortunatly I am kinda having same problem but I think mine is a bit more irritating. ever since I updated to gingerbread on my thunderbolt all and I mean all my music was misscatigorized, band names changed ,song names changed. it appears that the only ones that didnt change were one that had all info even album art. even newly downloaded songs are misscatagorized. im considering deleting the stock player all together . who the hell has the time to go threw and re name everything or re download .

Hi
I have my music loaded onto a 64GB card in exFAT format.
The music player picks up all my tunes fine but Music Square, no matter what I do, just says playlist empty...
Any idea what's going wrong?
Thanks
Paul

hey guys,
I realized it's only works if you store your songs in phone instead of memory card.
Please share the solution if you found it...
Thanks!!
Really? That's pretty dumb. All my music *has* to go on the SD card. -Thanks
My Music Square works well. I store my music in my 32 GB micro SD.
Go to Music Square and then press Setting the select Library Update. That's all.
You need at least 25 songs for Music Square to work.
Hey Jackie,
I have more than 25 songs and I'm using a 32 GB card too..
updated library for N times... nothing happened...
I wonder why this is happening. I have too many songs to store on the phone storage.
It's a shame it's not working

i have about 60 songs on SD and don't works...

My music is saved on the sd card. I put it into /mnt/extSdCard/media and Music Square works without problems.

What version ID3 tags do yours have?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Just just picked the first song that was played in Music Sqaure. According to foobar, the file has id3v2.3|id3v1 tags.
renaming the folder did not help..
I reformat the card and resync and it finally working again.
Did you reformat it in the S3?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
not sure do you mean the initial reformat.
but I did all the reformat in S3.. now it's working and adding more songs..
hopefully it will not stop working again..
Great!
Yes that's what I meant. Mine is exFAT as standard. I don't see why though if it can see my music it can't see anything else?

Just for confirmation, which file format shall we use in order to get it to work?
exFat?

Not sure it matters as someone else had issues with a 32gb card and I doubt that was exFAT

It's not supposed to. Play Music is only for music you have uploaded to Play Music
Go the the phone browser, navigate to Google play music and then upload the tracks you have. You'll be advised to do this on a desktop if you have more than as few you want doing

Go to Settings, App info, find the Google Play application. Click Clear data. When you relaunch the Google Play app it'll find your songs. It worked for me.

Well, seeing as 3 days ago it let me move all the music to the SD card, and originally had no problem recognizing it at first, its strange that it is suddenly not supposed to.
