Today for what ever reason all my music apps cannot see my music stored on my SD card. If I use the file browser app, I can see and play the music there. I have reset the phone and still the music cannot be seen by the stock app nor by DoubleTwist. Help!!
How you tried using the Samsung Kies application? I don't have the device yet to test it, but I will test it when I do.
I'm good...Double Twist screwed up the music database on the SD card. Reformatted the SD card and all is well now. I was syncing with the DoubleTwist desktop software when it crashed. Samsung Kies does not work. Keeps crashing every time I try and scroll or search for music in my library. I'm using Google Music with the Google Music Importer app to sync my music from my Google music account to my phone. Works great!!
Go to Settings-Wireless and Network-USB Settings-Samsung Kies. Kies should not crash.
I also have this problem, and I have fixed this by USB Setting.

Hey guys I need some help. None of my music players (mediascape, stock android music player, or winamp) doesn't display the updated list of songs. After I've deleted some old songs and put in new ones, it still displays the old songs.
what method are you using to put music on your phone? usually after the sd card is remounted the phone will know to rescan for music. i could be wrong here but i think most players use the same service for record keeping on music. so thats why nothing updates. if you restart your phone it should rescan. alternatively you could look up "rescan media" on the market as there are a few apps there to force a rescan.
i did a search and several other people are facing the same issue and is mainly the android OS that has this bug. it seems that it is still a bug that hasn't been addressed yet by Google according to the software developer who made Meridian. it has something to do with MediaScannerService. under settings, applications, manage applications, MediaScannerService comes up as restarting. no matter what i do whether i take out the battery, mount/unmount the sd card, it still shows up as restarting. and it stays like that indefinitely.
you're right, i found out that all the apps share the same filesystem update function and that's why the apps don't have their own individual 'update library' function. apparently a full reflash and sd card format will fix it... ughh... (>_<)
Mine worst. My mediascape cant even scan any songs. I use other player, PowerAmp Player and it only can play songs from folders and can't load songs to library.
So i'm at a loss here...
I copied alot of music to my prime (internal storage, into sdcard/music/) when i first got it. Worked perfectly. I was using the stock Music player for a while then it got on my nerves and i installed PlayerPro which i also use on my mobile phone. Works great.
Now a few months later i got some new music and i copied it to my prime. The only thing:
The music is not showing up in any player. Not the google player not playerpro. I can play the files from my file manager but in the actual music app it wont show up.
I rebooted, reinstalled music apps, used a sd card rescan app, cleared cache on all involved apps, deleted the music and copied again, used iSyncr and manual copy... And it cant be the music itself because on my phone the same files work fine.
Dont know what more i could do now any ideas?
[e] Gets even stranger, if i copy it with MyPhoneExplorer over wifi, it works the music gets recognized by all players. Strange, but at least a workaround.
Btw is there a way to enable Harddrive mode? This medialayer mode kinda sucks^^
google music player is not listing the songs present in the sd card.
if i copy the file to sd card it shows. however, if connect the phone to computer and access sd card again the songs are no longer displayed in the google music player app(i think some scanning bug).
no problem with htc music player app.
any suggestion
wow thought it was just me with this issue

ya F google music and use poweramp also google music only plays music you buy from them ONLY as i found out then i said F google music
the app for some reason only recognizes music files stored in the root of the sd card and won't recognize them if they're in any folder.
So I'm trying to load my phone up with music since my connection is not great in the virgin islands... Can't stream off google music with confidence... When I connect my phone to the computer I transfer the music.. I run out of space so then I go into root explorer and move the music to the other sd card that has more space.. (From sdcard2 to sdcard)
When I play a song through winamp or music or google music it says cannot playback file not recognized... Is there a specific directory the files have to be in? Also song titles show up 2 or 3 times in the programs... Ugh just want my tunes to play.. I bartend and play the music through my phone...

Since obviously no one can answer me why some apps detect where my mp3s see and some don't...I found my own crappy workaround...
The app Music Folder Player scans your storage when ya start it... But you can't create playlists, which I need for the bar.
Found an app Cloudskipper... Scans storage and I can create playlists... Yay problem solved for now...
I've deduced that if there's a way to scan storage in the main apps (google play, music) my problem would go away...
So... How to Rescan Storage In Google Play, Music?

are you rooted? Normally media refresh is triggered by taking the external card out and putting it back in, or a reboot. Seeing as how you've moved the music from the external card to the phone's own storage, you can do it by using an app like "rescan media". There is a root version that i've used and solved my N7 player not seeing my music issue, as well as a non root version that im not sure if it works or not. Either way what you're looking for is anything that triggers the media rescan.
If all else fails try clearing google play music's cache and data in your settings > manage apps and start from scratch.

My Evo's unrooted. Google Play music was doing fine finding the music on my external SD card and playing it, but all of a sudden, last week, it can no longer find those songs. If I use a file explorer, I can still find the music. 3rd party players are able to find it (even the HTC music player), but google music can't. I've cleared data on the app, I've downloaded and used the Rescan Media app..nada.
Anyone else have this problem? or a solution?
Thanks!
Mine has trouble finding music until I restart the phone. Also, google music has its own folder on sdcard(1). Try putting the music in there and rescan media.
