Tracks disappear from playlist - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

What I'm assuming you mean is that the game music and sound files are showing up in your scrollable list in the music player, and not that the game dev was stupid enough to actually force the music files to be installed in the same physical folder your music is.
If that's the case there's a relatively easy fix. Create a blank file called .nomedia and place that file into the folder where the games music is located. You'll just have to mount and search the SD card storage to find where this is.
Once you do this the media scanner will skip that folder when figuring out what video/audio media to index on your phone.
Can I do the same to a cut scene in my videos folder?

Yeah, that worked perfectly.

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

Music Player doesn't have all the songs

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.

[Q] Music Square not working?

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

Same problem and posted the same question but no one answered.

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

Hi Guys,

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
