So here's the issue. I have about 2500 songs on my 32 GB SD card in a single folder. Some of the songs have symbols and numbers in front of their titles such as #, 0-9, -/_ and (). They show up first in my songs list.
However, it gets stuck at # when I try to scroll through the list of songs using the slider, which means I have to manually flick through the list until I find the song I want. I can't scroll down the list of songs at all because of this.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

Any help with this issue? Does it happen to other people as well, or is there something wrong with my SD card/way my songs are formatted? The HTC app has always had issues (on my Incredible, it used to only show 100 of the 2500 songs) but this is ridiculous.
Additionally, since it seems like it could be such a simple fix, would anyone be willing to push out a patched HTC Music app for the Rezound that fixes this issue? I'd be very appreciative, since HTC's app looks nicer (at least to me) than music mod and I like having my Beats as well
I would get a mp3 tag editor and use it to rename the song filenames to a standard format.

I have about 50 songs that have special characters at the beginning of them (parentheses, dashes and numbers). Besides, I can't be the only one that has this issue...
Could we get any devs to look into this? I'm also willing to help out with a patch but I'm not really too familiar with android apps yet.
same happens to me but only while trying to use the side scroll bar with my album list.
I have a bunch of multi-national songs..some with chinese characters and I don't have this problem at all. I generally don't use the stock player but when I do, I can scroll without issue. Maybe one or more songs is jacking up the index(bad characters). I would try to editing a few ID3 tags and see if it helps. Just for grins see if you have the same issue with poweramp or google music.
Believe it or not, Google Music can't see my library. It's the only player that doesn't work for whatever reason. I use bTunes, Music Mod, Doubletwist, but have yet to try out Poweramp or Winamp. I think Google Music has that issue because I noticed that there are TWO sd card mount points on the phone - one for internal storage and one for external.
EDIT: It seems that the Google Music issue was fixed in the latest update, no issues otherwise. I tried Poweramp but it seems to be triplicating every song I have in the list.
Mine does this as well, but only in the songs list, not any other and I have about 1600 songs.

I'm of the old-school variety, and carry my music on my sdcard. When I first updated to the Google Music Beta app, it was all sorts of messed up, tag-wise. Looking through my tags, I realized how badly they were in disarray, with Google Music often considering two tracks to be on different albums if the only thing that differed was, say, the album art.
I realized how inconsistent my tags were, and decided to fix that issue. Over about two weeks I tidied up the tags in my MP3s, made cover art consistent, and so on. By the end of the process Google Music was reading everything correctly.
This last update, however, messed everything up again. Once again, about half of my albums are without cover art in the app, and about a third are split into multiple albums, with one or two tracks in one and the rest in the other. And, frankly, I can't figure out the issue. Every program I use to read the tags reports back the same thing; identical tags, except for track number and title. Album art is embedded into the files, and looking over it, the files I used were the exact same one, just replicated across all tracks in an album. I even checked to see if the issue was different versions of the MP3 tagging standard used in the same album, and it's not.
I tried clearing the data for Google Music, changing the name of the directory all my music is housed in, and even put a copy on my desktop PC. If I load the library into Clementine or Winamp, it reads the tags correctly with no duplicated albums or missing cover art.
I'm kinda running out of ideas here. Is there some special trick to getting Google Music happy with the way songs are tagged?
Im running it old school on my sd card. Theres really no need to stream tunes when everyone has a data cap

Sorry about that, it's been a while since I've posted...completely glossed over the Q&A section. Thanks.

I'm...not sure what I'm supposed to take from that. I'm running from the sdcard as well.
Yesterday I noticed that Google's new music app had been downloaded to my Amaze. However, none of the 13gb or so of songs from my SD card were showing up in the app. Refreshing the library didn't show anything either.
It turns out that Play Music won't find any music in /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd. As soon as I copied an album to /mnt/sdcard/Music from /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/Music it showed up in Play Music. Problem is, I don't have nearly enough space on my internal memory for my music. Anyone figure out how to get it to scan ext_sd?

Well it works for me. Why do u say it goes from mnt/sdcard when u can just skip going to the /mnt and go straight to /sdard folder? But to help with you problem, the new Google Play Music only allows 20000 songs to be uploaded to it. Maybe u have more then that.
But I'm guessing in ur case it's just stupid. Try making a folder called download in ur sdcard2 or extcard (same thing ) if there isn't one, and put all ur music in that folder. That's how mine is setup up by default and Google Play recognized my music from there. Reinstall if that don't work. Good luck!

I have been having the same issue with this. I kinda figured it out today. take the music out of your music folder and have it just be on the sd card. Yes i know its ugly and makes managing stuff more of a pain in the ass, but Play music will recognize your music.
I tried this with 15+ gigs of music and for some reason it will not recognize all my songs. I don't think I'll be using this method as a permanent fix, but let me know if you have more success with it.
Tried Chadworth66's suggestion and it did not work. improperburial's suggestion actually did work, but as he said it was very ugly. I don't know of a better fix, so I think I'll pass on Google Music for the time being.
Could it be that Play Music only goes but so many levels of subfolders deep? Any way, until Google fixes this I'll continue using the (HTC) Music app on the phone. Though I may go ahead and upload my music for backup purposes. I don't really want to pay T-mobile for the privilege of playing (ie, streaming) my own music.
I'm having this problem as well. It recognized my music for a while but when I plugged it into a computer (not mine, I don't have one) to transfer music to a friend, they all disappeared from my library. They're still on the SD card, but Play Music won't list them. They're not buried or anything, they're just in a folder on the SD card titled Music.
The new Music app has the Music Square feature that for the life of god I cannot figure out how to get working. I understand you're supposed to press a square and generally get a personalised playlist out of it, but any attempt of interacting with the square just tells me that 'Selected list is empty'. Anybody else running into the same issues?
Same here...
Hi guys,
I realized that it will only recognize your songs if you stored it in your phone instead of memory card.
If anyone find the ways to make it work for songs in memory card, please share!!
Thanks in advance.
sooo - i had the same problem and that's how i fixed it go to music player, than choose musicsquare after that press the options Touchbutton and choose "update library" - after it is done the music square should run perfectly
I do not have a SD card so do not know if the issue with recognizing songs only in internal memory is only with your device since i can not test it ... sorry
Did not work for me. I have alot of music on my 64GB card...so much for that...maybe it'll be in the update.
It's working fine for me, including the songs from the external SD.
All I did was from the Music Square tab I updated the library.
Music square>Menu button>Library Update>Done!
music square has ruined my life
i cant get this thing to work at all and i doubt anyone else with a sizeable music collection can. for all those people saying put your music in the phone memory - where is the stuff from the phone memory going to go? the purpose of an sd card is to store your media on so that you dont fill your phone.

My songs are in my 64gb microSD card. Music square is now updating
Worked for me on External SD
Hi Guys: just downloaded over 300 songs from my Amazon Cloud player and transferred them via USB to my SD card under what Windows Explorer called "SCH-I535" (with small mobile phone icon) and the Card-->Music. I copied all the folders.
Then started the Samsung Music Player and the Music Square found all of the songs and analysed them for where they sat within the four axis. Very interesting app--since it's my music, this is a cool way to get a bit of a surprise of what pressing a square will bring. But it did miscacluate one of my driving trance songs as "calm".
An S3 reviewer said this about it: "You can drag your finger across the squares to choose a 'progressive' playlist based on your mood...this is a really nice way of making a playlist from your tunes." So I dragged my finger in a square and it presented a list of 22 songs that "matched" these squares moods.
At first it didn't start working for me when I first bought the phone, but since I updated to LFB, Music Square works.
I have about 3000 songs on a 32gb. I have it under Music folder on the fat32 card. In the music square screen, press menu and select update library and it does a one time scan and that's it.
I have approx 64GB SDCARD and also 16GB music on my phone and it works perfectly with Music square, you have to have minimum of 25 songs on the phone, select update library rfom the menu on the music square page and all will be good to go
yaay for music square... not ... its quite a cool idea but i dont think it works that great. not worth the fuss if im honest. just make your own playlists! i do like samsungs music player though. very clean and easy to use. never crashed on me. never had any problems with it
It's working for me. I select update library every time I add new songs.
But it did stop playing after a number of songs, so I need to select play again.
I like this feature, it just needs to be enhanced.:good:

I have about 1000 songs on my 32 gb sd card. I have run the update library, it then works, for a while then randomly stops, run the update, works again!!
This can be in the space of 1 hour!
Any ideas?
Honestly, music square is not always working properly and alot is mistaken and play songs that are not related to the mood at all and personally I hate when it plays a song that not works wirh my mood which frustrate me , like sometimes I play smooth tunes while having a nap on my ride in bus and suddenly it turns to play some hard tune that differ from mood I selected so I honestly prefer creating my own playlists by myself.

How can i get 'Samsung Music Square' on my redmi 1s??
I'm using a Galaxy S5 but I can't find the Library Update option when i go into the music square.
I'm having the same issue where the selected list is empty.
Any thoughts?
So I'm running stock rom on my sgs3 rooted and for some weird reason quite a few of the albums in my music player app are doubled. Also another thing that irks me is that for example, I can't cap the M on moby, as you can see in the 1st screenshot, I've tried many times of taking the song off my phone, editing the details on it and then putting it back on but it'll always stay as moby :/
Screenshots are underneath.

Make sure that all the information on the music files is the same. This includes album name, artist, genre and everything else

Try unmounting then remounting your SD card.
They definitely are all the same, I've taken all the songs off my phone and edited them all so that they all have the same album name/artist, genre is also the same although I don't see how that should effect it. :/ As you can see from the screenshots the titles of the album and the artist names are both identical yet they're seperate for some reason.

The songs are all in the internal memory, I am quite a noob with android I must admit, so how do I unmount then mount the sdcard?

/mnt/ incorrectly displaying
I had the same problem on my galaxy note 10.1. Looking at the folders view in music player, it was showing every track twice- once in /sdcard/nas and once in /mnt/sdcard/nas - which is of course the same location., the nas folder on the internal storage. The only folder that was NOT resulting in duplicate entries was /sdcard/Samsung/music, so i moved them into there. I had to restart music player and now they only show once. This is (to use a purely colloquial term) a bit arse, and is something that needs to be resolved. Hope it helps someone else.
I looked around and saw some topics on this but didn't find a solution. It seems as though the music that I put on my internal storage isn't able to play on google play music. Any ideas on why this is? The simple fix is to take the songs out of the internal storage, which I haven't tried yet, but I am currently using those songs for either a notification sound or ringtone. I don't understand why it would still have a trouble requesting the song, even though the song is still on my Itunes. Thanks guys
Weird. Some do and some don't on mine. Never noticed cuz I use Poweramp as my player. My solution would be pay a couple bucks for Poweramp and move on with life, although I know I won't be able to let it go. Other solution would be to upload songs to Google Play Music.

The HTC One doesn't support some music formats. Here is the HTC Sync Manager FAQ: http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/?section=FAQ
A solution would be to convert the files into one of the music format the One does support
