My Music folders is not getting picked in the stock Music player.
Because of which i couldnt search the songs using the search facility.
Though i use poweramp to listen to music, i search the songs using the search facility, but lately i found that the search was not working even though the Music files were one among the searchable files.
When i started checking the same i found that the stock player is not picking up any albums from my memory card.
1. i tried moving the files to internal storage
2. Unmounted and mounted the card back
3. Factory reset ( used appsave application though)
4. Manually removed the sd card and inserted it back.
Nothing is working.
Could anyone please help?

Try playing some songs directly from from the memory,,,,it is some random bug,, use search function in music app..
According to me ur video app and gallery should have this problem too...
I use iSyncr to sync my playlists. It works great and even solves the "unknown" artist bug.
I did factory reset and formatted my sd card too and then transfered the files..
And now its working fine atlast

So, my phone has no mods on it, and its not rooted. I have alot of music on the internal storage (until I get an external card) and its annoying me because not all songs show up... when connected to a pc, it shows I have it but when i turn mass storage mode off, media scanner wont find anything. I used 'rescan media' from the market to see if that worked but no dice.
Where'd you get the music that's not showing up? And what format is it in?

It was right out of my music folder I use on my computer . Some are also right our of the folder iTunes reads out of. (Copy and paste). They are all mp3. I also see that media scanner never says 'media scanning finished' anymore. It worked until today...

Most times media scanning will only show up after a reboot or something is deleted. Not in day to day use. If the music you're having issues with is from iTunes, it may have drm protection on it, specifically for not allowing it to play on another device.

That's what's weird. It did play before. Also, media scanner just pops up whenever it feels like it. Even during music playback

Fixed. Had to do a factory reset

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:

I have same problem with stock mp3 player, it can't play mp3 from my external sdcard.
Rescan your files by starting media scanner again.
《swagged from aokp》
Above fails TRY MP3 in Media folder Video in Video folder on EXT SD card .
jje
It didn't help for me, in fact on the same album some tracks are recognized as mp3 and some not... perhaps file corruption I'll dig in.

Same issue
Seems I'm having the exact same issue on XXDLJ4.
But for me it doesn't even matter where i put them, I've got a folder with ~520 songs and stock player only shows ~300.
I tried alot of things:
- Placing media on internal/external storage.
- Clearing Media Storage cache
- Reuploading the entire folder from my pc
- RescanMedia root (disabled mediascanner)
- Dividing the music into smaller bits/folders
- Wiping and reflashing multiple times
- Cm10 nigtly has the same issue for me
So far nothing has worked.. The only workaround so far is using 3rd party apps..
Wipe EXT SD card format via phone .
Make folders copy one file to folder if it is now seen copy the rest .

Just tried it out (forgot to mention I already tried reformatting).
But still no consistent pickup from the mediascanner.
Tried the copy-back with a folder with 33 mp3's first, only 4 showed (Both on Sammy and CM10).
Then tried it with a folder with 41 pictures, only 12 showed on Sammy and ~20 on CM10.
Any more suggestions?

Sorry, didnt have time to read the whole thread, have you tried creating a folder on the route of the SD card called "MUSIC", that usally works.
Also check there isnt a file called "nomedia" in the route of the SD too.
plus - after you reformat just put the MUSIC on first before you copy everything else back, let it scan and then copy your other Folders back, this can also help.
any updates from the OP?
Yeah I did both.
Reformatting didn't solve anything. Same songs showed as before after recopy.
But while playing around with another rom (CM) i discovered something..
Seems that half my music is faulty mp3 files. Searched about the issue with Tubemate, and seems as it's common issue with some players. (Change in Sammy music app in JB maybe?)
It doenst convert to mp3 but saves the audio part to mp3. Must have been a bug in an older Tubemate version. Cause when i redownload the faulty song with the latest version it immediatly shows in the Sammy Music app.
When i try playing them on CM the faulty mp3's just stay at 0:00. So i went and tried a few mp3 checkers, afraid they report the same nr of correct/uncorrect as my Sammy music app shows.

To follow up, i recently switched to a s4 and the problem persist (inserted old sdcard).
Must be the faulty mp3 story.

Did you ever test the card with h2testw.exe on a windows pc?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
For some reason my S3 no longer plays any of my music. It can detect the files just fine, even the ones I ripped directly from CDs in windows, but when I load up my music player and hit the play button it appears to just scan all the files in the open folder ,as in I can literally see the song names get loaded one after another real fast... as if all my music was only 0.001 seconds long, so it sort of plays them but they're all that short and no sound comes out
anyway I've tried several players and its always the same. Any advice would be great, i'm on stock JB, never rooted.
Take one MP3 file place on sd card .
Open My Files navigate to this MP3 open it chose player .
Fails backup data and factory reset .
You dont have sound muted or turned down low

Had the same problem a week ago,
I went to application manager in settings,
And cleared the data and cache of media storage, then rebooted.
That seemed to fix the issue
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...
Tapatalked from my mother in law's horribly small, painfully slow, still at ICS LG 2X...
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.
