Is there an app for backing up mp3s. Theres apps for backing up ringtones and alerts but have not seen an app that can zip and backup mp3 files.
Yeah, I dont think MyBackup Pro backs up any music but dont you keep it on the microsd card anyway?
Yes you are right MyBackup Pro doesnt include backing up mp3s. Yes they,are on SDCard, I was looking for an app that could zip or back up music and then I copy the mybackup files and mp3s to laptop for saving in case some unforsaken event happen to the sd.. Then just buy new sd if not recoverable and copy moe
3s to new card along with myBackupPro logs.

With my X10i, i got use to using Media Go.
Arranges folders etc on the SDCard under a folder caused Music.
Obviousley i copied this filde from my SDCard onto my S2 Sdcard.
Im still using Media Go for now, but have to manually refresh/rescan in Poweramp eveytime.
Anyone else having this issue.
Back on topic. Whats people using to transfer music? I like to make sure they have covers etc, and to continue putting them into the SdCard/Music foldr, into relevant artists foldr etc.
I'm not sure about the relevant artists function but I use doubleTwist because it pulls the playlists from itunes and syncs all the music with your phone in a folder called music on your sd card if you want. I think if you wanna use poweramp you have to manually re-scan your library every time new music is added, not sure about that though.
I just realized that my music player is not picking up on the music files I have on my external SD. I have them under the folder "Music" on the SD card's root. I copied songs over to the phone's internal memory - aka internal SD's "Music" folder, and the stock music player was able to see them. I'd like to keep the music on the SD card - is this not possible?
It is totally possible... I use WinAmp (primarily) and have about 500 sings on my SD Card in the Music folder and no music at all on the internal storage, it works fine, the stock player and Google Music see them as well.
Try going into Settings-Apps-<player your using> and Force Stop, then Clear Data, then launch the player again... remember if you have a lot of music it might take the app a while to load and index everything.

Well that's good to hear. But I just tried it and no luck. It's not even indexing or searching. I am using the default music player and it starts up like there's an empty card. I am actually now on newtoroot's one XxX rom, and the default player is doing the same as stock Google music also behaves the same.
I've tried unmount/remounting the sd card, no luck.
Not sure if this matters, but this SD card is a carryover from my Thunderbolt. So it has a lot of apk backups and other crap. Also, I noticed that I actually lost my video file collection on the SD card somewhere along the process. I am not exactly sure, but I think it's when I first moved it to the Rezound, because now that I think about it, I don't ever recall seeing the couple episodes of Futurama I keep on my SD card.
The original folder structure was on SD/media/video and SD/media/music. The video folder is now empty. I've since moved the music folder to the SD's root. There are no .nomedia files in the folders.
Hmmm... interesting, I didn't think the Rezound was that picky, is the music directory in the root of the sd card properly capitalized as "Music"? that is how it is on mine, and the files in it are just ordinary MP3 files...
How many MP3's do you have in there... I have around 500 and when I open Music after changing anything (even just adding one file) the little revolving circle in the My Library bar sits there for a solid 3-4 minutes before anything shows up. WinAmp takes just as long initially, but if you add or delete a file it sees the change in seconds.
I just tried adding a file to the /media/music directory on my SD Card and it showed up fine, but the stock Music player also took another 3-4 minutes to re-index everything before the list populated at all. WinAmp had it in the list before I could scroll down to that artist.
Are you sure the SD card is mounting correctly? Go to Settings -> Storage and scroll down to SD Card and make sure it shows "Unmount SD card" and it is not grayed out and it shows used and available space on the card.
FWIW, on this phone, I am on the stock 3.14.605.12 OTA ROM.
Yep it is. And I have only about 500MB worth of mp3s, so not that many. The thing is, the music player isn't even trying to search for it I read another post on droid forum with similar problem last night (lost the link). I think that poster mentioned maybe too many stray apk backups is causing the search to choke. The SD card is definitely mounted correctly - I just unmounted and remounted again to make sure.
Yep I was on that same stock OTA before this one XxX rom. Same result.
I am going to swap out sd card with the stock rezound 16gb, which should be completely fresh except for a nandroid backup.

Hmmm... could be the issue with too much other "junk" on the card I guess, mine is fairly clean, 50 or so camera shots, a handful of backups and some some other stuff, less than 500MB in total besides the music.
Seems odd that the Music app isn't even trying though, have you tried another player like PowerAmp or WinAmp? WinAmp Pro with the Album Washer plug-in is the BOMB, sync music over WiFi to the phone if you have WinAmp on your PC too, pretty sweet.
Yep it's working now. That must have been it - the thunderbolt SD card was too cluttered. I suppose I'll just have to go in and clean it up a bit. Sheesh Rezound, what's next, gonna make me clean my apartment too?
I need help and this has been driving me nuts for the past hour of two. I placed 2 new music albums to my internal SD card (/storage/sdcard0/Music) and for some reason my music player cannot detect them. What I did is I checked the entire Music folder for any .nomedia but there is none. I downloaded a SD scan app and still the same.
The last resort i did is i deleted everything from my music folder and transferred everything again from PC to the S3. Now after doing that, the new albums appeared BUT one of the older albums is not showing! I checked the folder via Root Explorer and MyFiles and the album and songs are in my internal SD card. Like I said in my first statement, these albums/songs are located in just one folder.
Same result if I use the stock music app or a third party app like N7.
I am now frustrated and lost
I am currently using LI8.
Try clearing data in "MediaScanner" in the applications manager, and then rebooting. Give it a little while as it can take a few minutes to scan the entire phone.

Try putting the music somewhere else on your SD, before deleting caches and data... If that doesn't work, you can always just delete the cache of your music player, that usually works, but try not to delete the Media Scanner's Cache, that means it will take longer to boot and get to the launcher...
If you want, you could also just download Google Play Music, it's better than Samsung's Music player (Because Music Player leaves a second out of the music..) and Play Music is much smoother than Sammy's..
Try one of those and if it still doesn't work, do the Media Scanner Cache.
Anyways, hope I could help you!
You can also decrease the scanning times by using the SD watcher mod here:

Thanks! I'll try all the options provided and will let everyone know the results.

Guys, is there a music application that backs up even the playlist? i flash roms all the time and its kinda hassle to put back the playlist and all one by one? Was wondering if there is an app that can restore all the playlist. Thanks

i'm using n7player, a few playlists just for running, it creates a folder on my sdcard called playlists and they're all in there. I just copy them to my EXTsd and pop the folder back over when i flashed a new rom. try checking to see if you have a folder in your SD called playlists.
Hi,
I need an help: I put SD card with Albums, Videos and Music on my ZU.
I can see albums and videos but I can't see music on Walkman or Google Play...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!
Restarting the device usually makes it rescan for media on internal and external sd, but if it doesn't, go to apps, Media app (I don't remember the right app as I don't have the device now), delete cache and after a few minutes you'll have all the music in your apps.
If this doesn't work try again with Walkman app and Google Music app, delete cache and open app.
If none of this work, maybe reformat the sd card...

I have all music on my SD card but if some files not showing up I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clypher.mediascanner
The phone does however rescan by it self most of the cases, It just need a few minutes to work
The phone should rescan by itself when you transfer files using an USB, but if you transfer wirelessly it won't do that. I transfered some songs with AirDroid yesterday, and I had to reboot so it would rescan. That's the unnecessary way of doing it, or you can trigger a rescan by installing an app that does this.
