Not reading my mp3 files on my sd card - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I put 10 songs on my micro sd card and then inserted the card into the phone. When trying to play the songs, i am told the player does not support file type. Any idea what is going on here? Will it only play the mp3's if i put them on the phone through USB mass storage mode?
Any ideas would be great.

I have mp3s on my micro sd in a folder called music and they play fine

Putting music on SD card?

I had mp3s on the internal storage, and music app picked them up fine. But I got an SD card, and wanted to use that for music. I transfered the music to the SD card but the music app doens't show them even after scanning for media
Edit: I realized I'm not even sure how to access the SD card from the FS
Edit2: Ugh nevermind, turns out the files on the card just got wiped after I transferred them
Have you formatted your card? I just created a folder on mine called music and copied my music to that

[Q] Is it possible to modify google music?

I don't know if anybody else has any issues with google music not recognizing music stored on their sd card, if their phone already has internal storage, but I have noticed on my HTC Amaze that google music will only recognize the music on the internal storage and not all of the songs I had on my micro sd. Is it possible to modify google music to read or find music from more than one location on your phone?
PS I have more music than what would fit on the the phones storage so moving songs from micro SD to the phones internal storage would not be an option.
Delete The google music app and then reinstall it from some other source ! Maybe there's some problem in the APK !

I talked to another amaze owner that had the same problem. The issue is that google music will only recognize music files that are saved directly on the root of the SD card. As soon as the files are moved into a folder within the SD card it stops recognizing that the music is there anymore.

what phone do you have? does it have internal storage and a sd card slot? I have it on my nexus one and it has no problem recognizing music on the phone at all. I think something about having more than one storage place makes google music get all weird.

[Q] Music app detecting my songs twice?

So I had about 400 songs on my internal storage and both the Music app and Google Play Music worked just fine. Recently I bought a 16gb external sd card and migrated all my music from my internal storage to sd card. My problem is that now the Music app detects all my music twice, and as in each song shows up twice. I'm thinking maybe it's because the sd card is mounted twice on /sdcard2 and /sdcard/ext_sd. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to fix it?

Missing Playlists???

Something is been bothering me since my G3 days, and seems on my V10 has the same reaction.
I am using the STOCK LG MUSIC player, and i have all my Audio Files on the 200GB FREE SD Card.
Every time I unmount the SD card, all the songs I added to my playlists are empty....remounting the SD card doesnt resolve the issue.
Seems I need to re-add all the songs again to those playlists.
Is there a way to back up the Playlist, or to retain all the song listings?
Move them onto the phones storage from SD storage. That will retain them.
Otherwise, reformat the SD card and re add them back onto the card. Sounds like you might have an issue with the card.
