Hey Guys ..
I am playing around with my G-Tablet and for some reason I am unable to access and play/stream the music that I put on my External MicroSD card.
The only way I could listen to them is if I copy them to the folder called "sdcard/music".
I am currently running VEGAn-TAB ROM BETA 5.1. I tried the regular music program as well as Winamp .. and neither let me play the music straight off the micro sd card.
PLEASE HELP!
thank you in advance!
Strange, I have a similar problem in that music copied from a Flash drive to the sdcard/music folder will not be recognized by the Music App.
GL wit a solution
Make sure you do a reboot with Vegan-Tab after loading music. It won't show up otherwise. Also, if you added the .nomedia file to protect the data, it seems to prevent the tablet from scanning the SD Card.
Ok .. Im confused .. This is what I did ..
1) Copied my music to "SDCARD/MUSIC" folder .. unit had no problem playing the music.
2) After it was still on the external sd card under "SDCARD2/MUSIC" I removed the music that was copied from original internal memory (see #1) folder and then rebooted and music player or winamp would not read my music!
Ok - so basically my unit doesn't recognize the music from the external sd card! please help !!!
HMMMM .. wait .. I just rebooted again and for some reason its working now !! I think my G-Tablet is Possessed .. No matter, Im returning it to Woot anyway because I have a pixel out .. They are sending my new one Wednesday .. Hopefully I don't have this issue with the new one!
Thanks for the help!
I found that if you unmount the SD and then re-mount it the music won't show up until the tablet is rebooted and then it shows up again. I'm also useing Vegan 5.1.1 and that's what I've found. I also noticed that after mounting the SD card that the settings for performing this change to unmount in progress AFTER I have selected mount the sd, very odd

check if there is a .noMedia file created in your root / sub folder/s where you have placed the music. System tends not to scan those folders where this file exists and hence skips them every time it scans for media.

I'm using same ROM and I can play without problems the music stored on the external SD card (32Gb). Check if the Media Scanner is getting the info of the music store there as the above user suggest. Also you can force it to rescan with a Market app or doing a copy/paste of any file in a file explorer inside the phone.
Also I have my music above the root of the SD card, don't know if that could also make the phone not to recognice it. In my case I have them in /sdcard/external_sd/Music/[Albums Names].
Hi guys Im having probs with transferring files to my sgs3. I successfully copied my itunes songs to my sd card but ive realised ive missed a few and went to access the music folder but its only showing me folders up to J even though the SD card space used is correct.
Any1 have similar probs or know the solution?
SD card is fine and phone sees all music files

I have this problem sometimes too.
When I look in my "My Little Pony" folder it only shows up to Episode 20, even though there's 52 Episodes (51 files since E51 and E52 are together as the Canterlot Wedding).
I am not sure if this has been posted before but I have a galaxy S4 running Cyanogenmod 10.1. I have a scan disk 64gb card and the folder selector in Poweramp is showing /storage/sdcard1 but it does not have a tree to select a specific folder on the card, so I put my music folder directly in the root of the sd card but Poweramp won't find my music. I have selected the sd card with a check mark and rescanned with no luck. I have rebooted as well with no luck. Apollo and other music apps work fine but I want to use Poweramp.
Poweramp worked fine before I installed the ROM.
If this is a bug please let us know so we can wait for a fix, or is there something we can do to get it going?
Thanks,
Steve
FIXED!
I figures it out. You can use a 64gb card but it must be formated to Fat32. You can google how to do this on your windows pc.
Till Yesterday My SD card is detected by Gallery and Play music and From Today Onwards Gallery doesnt show anything that are in my sd card and shows the photos that are present in my Internal storage and google play music also doesnt show anything present in my sd card and when i play music from my sd card using ES file manager the music plays and photos are also showing..anyone knows how to solve the problem ??
if you have done these steps before plzz do them again
Power Off your Moto E
Remove the SD Card
Put it back again (ensure that its put correctly)
Switch your Moto E On
And... TADA!
Maybe a media scanner app would work just as well as rebooting. I don't own this phone but I have had the same thing happen on my HTC desire C so I downloaded an app called media scanner. All it does is rescans the sd card for music, videos photos etc then all my media showed back up.

Hi,
I've installed cm11 m10 on my Galaxy S2 i9100, with following instructions:
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100 (newbie, not allowed to create a correct link.
Everything works fine except for playing Music (mp3).
I have an external 64 GB SD Card initially formatted with fat32. I've uploaded mp3s there. I tried several players (Appollo, MixZing, Google Play Music) but none of them found music. On MixZing I was able to navigate to the files but when click on an mp3 file, only the spinning circle is showing but playing didn't start.
I googled and found advices that it may be related to the sd card being formatted fat32. So I tried two things. I formatted the SD Card with exfat and second I copied the mp3 files to the internal storage. That didn't change anything. Music files are shown in file manager but they do not play.
I also observe that on Setting/Storage the external SD Card is shown ut only shows the total amount of space used, no disitinction on e.g. media files, like in the internal storage
Is that a known problem or is that special to my setup ?
It's the first time I use cyanogenmod so I may also do newbie errors
Hi Stefan,
Or the music files are corrupt, probably wouldn't be it.
Or its a bug. I suggest to you to also have a look in the android development forum for other custom roms.
Also does audio works on cyanogenmod m10? So notifications sound etc?
First of all thanks for the quick reply.
It's always like that I searched the whole evening for a solution, almost immediately after posting this question. Things started working. The bad thing is I do not why it suddenly works
My setup is now:
Music is on externald SD Card formatted with exfat.
No Music on internal storage.
I triggered a rescan of the sd card using Rescan SD app.
Under Settings/Storage the sd card still only showing the overall usage.
But since Music and jpegs are working I'm ok with that.
Ahh okay, good that it's now working properly, else you could always find another custom rom in the android development forum that is more optimized and better for your phone.
Have fun :good:
