Storing music...internal vs extrernal?

Hey guys. I can't remember exactly what I did but it seems like everything's saved on my SD card and almost nothing is in my internal storage. I have 10.67 out of 10.69 gigs free of internal storage while I only have .96 gigs of 7.40 gigs of my SD card left. 3 gigs are from music. Now my question is would it be smart to move my music to the internal storage or would it be smarter to move other things from the SD card to internal because as I said I basically have nothing on the internal mem

Bump...anyone?

It really doesn't matter. Some music apps only scan internal, so guess that's an argument for going with that option. Just know that a wipe rom will wipe your music. I'd get a 32gb external
Yea true. Hmm I just cannot recall what I had on my internal storage which is now on my SD card. Wish I knew what was taking up all of the space under root explorer I can see everything on the SD card I just don't know what I do and don't need on there and what is taking up all the space while my internal storage still has virtually no room being taken up. Also anyone running cm7 is the default under cyanogenmod settings>application is the box unchecked or checked for use internal storage? Mine is unchecked

[Q] Internal Storage vs Phone Storage

So when you go to settings-storage it shows 3 different kinds of memories. 1 is external storage, the other one says phone storage 9gb and the other one says internal storage 2gb. what is the difference between the internal storage and the phone storage? Thank you!
I believe one partition is used for apps and such.

Phone storage is the ~10gb free space (internal sdcard)
Internal storage is the space for /data partition such as your apps and app data.

Is there a way to increase the internal storage space and decrease the phone storage? Idk why but it keeps telling me there is no space whenever I try to do some backup/restore stuff, although in the system it shows there is something like 2gb free space of internal storage...

Get storage analyzer. It's a free app that will tell you where all of your storage is being used.
Trust me...it will be your best friend.
You can choose between viewing files in the internal storage, the external, or the whole device. In your case, make sure your internal storage isn't full...and check for appears that was left behind even though you uninstalled the app for it.
Also, I'd check to make sure that your internal storage, is in fact full, and that it's not just your 2GB space alloyed for apps.

move to sd card
this app works great:
ZDbox (All-In-One toolbox)
ZDworks Co.,Ltd.
from the google play store.
Allows you to move many apps at once. It scans your phone at well tell you what all apps you can move your sd card, then lets you select and move them.
I hate game loft games. They leave all of the post-downloaded data behind after an uninstall.
Ok let me be clear there is a app to move gameloft data to external.sd for devices with built in sdcard and external sd to you move over to external

Cyanogenmod 9 Emmc Storage Issue

So lately I've noticed that my SD card is apparently full, like I'll get warning messages when downloading apps and stuff that the storage space is insufficient. But I know the overall storage space and I haven't used anywhere near that much. And I tried removing two files I didn't need through USB storage, and the space still didn't go up! I'm using cyanogenmod 9 on the Samsung galaxy exhibit 2 4G.

Its your internal storage not your SD card.

OK, but on app 2 SD it shows around 600 mb internal memory that is still usable. But when I go into what's on the SD card in that same app, it shows 0 free space which is also false. I know that the regular sdcard is the internal memory and ex-sd card or emmc is external. But still I dont have anything in there taking up that much space, app2sd shows that. And I've already dug around in root explorer and I couldn't find any massive data doing this.

Here, this is what app2sd is showing me.

OK so I think the problem is that since cyanogenmod doesn't use the regular external SD card folder, and uses the emmc folder instead, that's causing this.

Out of memory problem.

My s3 is showing out of memory now. I have a 32gbp card with lots of green space and also my internal memory still 400mb remaining. I thought the apps got installed in the phone memory. Am I wrong? Is this 400mb limit?? Pls help . I'm on stock os, non rooted.

Your not wrong, thats why your out of storage space. All your apps are stored on your phone and not on your external 32GB card.
400MBs is all the space you have left on your phone. Try moving some music and pictures onto your 32Gb SDcard.
I know it's low. But when 400mb is available, atleast an app of 5mb or 2mb should get installed na???

Your phone still require some memory to perform other stuff like cache. Try to move your media files to ext sdcard.
