my Flyer never had an issue with music, until i flashed a ROM update without wiping (because i am lazy and slightly stupid), and then no matter what i did HTC Music could find no music...i installed Winamp and tried some other things and nothing worked, until this:
>all apps >google search >menu >search settings >searchable items, select music
my music showed up in a couple of minutes! theoretically this should have nothing to do with it, and it may well be a coincidence, but i thought i'd share
Thanx for the tip, unfortunately, it didn't solve me problem....

Sorry if this has been answered before, i did a search, but couldnt find anything.
But i have been having problems with the heros media player. I am running modacos latest rom, But for instance when i open Last.fm, The heros build in media player wil open and skip through the first 5 seconds or so of some random tracks. This also happens occationally while i am just lisning to music with the build in media player as well. It is getting realy annoying, yet i cant work out why it is happening. I can only think it is conflicting with something. It seems to do this when ever i use a different media player. (last fm, lyricwiki, etc) Please help? I want to still be able to use last fm and stuff...

hmm my hero is on it's way therefore i'm here in this forum.. i have the exact same problem as you but this is on the diamond 2 with windows mobile..
I'm thinking that it might have something to do with the sync of music.. Are you using wmp to sync?
I installed last.fm and the hero media player skipped like Skippy the kangaroo. found that Last.fm was integrating and doing something in the background . uninstalled, rebooted to stop the background process, NO MORE skipping. Woo. diddnt like last.fm anyways, too long buffering times.
bad last.fm,
Its not skipping.. its pure randomness. track skipping, fastforwarding, you name it, it does it randomly. Its retarded. And makes the hero completly useless as a media player....
Uninstall last.fm and install tunewiki and see if the problem persists.

Yes it has but since this is your first post, we'll let it slide.
Go into Manage Apps->Musicplayer and clear cache and data. Reboot and Bam!! there you go.
Also don't forget for the future that your External_sd is now called EMMC just in case you need to direct something to your extsd card like 3rd party music player, camera,...

This happens to me as well and this is how I solve it.
First, force exit the music player (I use long-press on the back button).
Second go to manage apps > music player > clear data and clear cache
third restart music player and go to settings and refresh music from google music
Give it a little bit. It take mine about 20 minutes to complete the refresh but I have about 16GB of music on my phone.
This should solve it but for good measure, I reboot into recovery, clear cache, clear dalvik, and fix preferences.
Let me know if this helps.
That EMMC threw me off for the longest time. I bounced off a couple ICS ROM's before I realized the external was mounting fine, lol. They should put that in the OP of ICS ROM's
i tried clearing the data and cache and rebooted
i did everything and nothing i even tried to delete all music off of it and putting it back on and it gives me the same message immediately am i cursed?
is there nothing i can do
ive tried all of the above and still nothing is there anything i can do i really like using my phone as a music player its kinda important to me should i just switch to an iphone?
Have you tried another music player?
Install winamp. If it works, then try reinstaling google music.

ive done it all
ive tried win amp and something else and when i tried those it just never played the song and there would be like 6 of the same song and non of them would play
Is the file type .mp3? If so it should play just fine.
Can you play the songs from the file browser? Try using "file explorer" or "root explorer", navigate to the folder that contains the music files and see if it plays from there. Sometimes after a fresh flash I need to do this to get music player to find the rest of my music folders.
Goodluck!
p.s. If you break down and buy an iphone send the vibrant to me dogg!
Try PowerAmp. It doesn't rely on the Android music scan or library. This eliminates the problem with tracks appearing multiple times. It also uses its own codecs and supports more formats.

I agree with the post above!
I had the "cannot play music" issue and tried the clearing of caches etc. nothing worked so I downloaded Power Amp and have been happy ever since.
Hi Guys,
since yesterday my Xperia S (FW .73) is no longer listing any music (stored at /mnt/sdcard/Music...)
I tried several things to fix this:
- reboot several times
- rename music foder
- copy music from /Album sub folder into /Music folder
- rescan via "rescan media" app
- testing with third party music player apps like standard android music player or Meridian
...but without success!
Music player still says that there is no music available on my device.
But I do have about 9 GB!
The only may important thing I did yesterday was to change the micro SIM card.
Bit this works without any trouble.
So do you guys have any idea?
Should i reinstall generic .73 FW?
If you go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All find the Media Storage App, clear Data, restart the phone and leave it ~5 minutes it should force it to rescan everything.
Hey sixdaysandy, thanks for you advice.
Unfortunately it has no impact!
I've done it several times and cleared almost every Music Media data I found. But after I made a reboot my device still thinks I do not have any music...
Therefore i am flashing the LT26i_6.0.A.3.73_SG_Generic.ftf FW without Wiping User Data right now!
And i really hope that this will fix the bug!
Edit:
Finally i was able to reproduce this strange behaviour.
I deleted every music and put it right back into the music folder. And there it was!
But it seems that every time i reboot - the device isn't any longer listing my music and it's gone again...
so there must be something wrong with the music library or the music player itself. Or maybe another app is going to kill the library?!
Recently i changed my ROM and since then all music apps, including stock, says i only have a few songs on whereas Astro File manager shows i have all my albums and i can only listen to them through there, not a normal music app. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks ;D
What Rom you on?if miui go to music folder in settings but if still you have nothing You can try this app available on Google play
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=media+scanner+
Im on FeraVolt v16 but the problem occurred when I tried v13 I think
il download the app and see what is says
Thanks
Anyone be able to shed some light on how I can get my music back?
What media players have you tried?
Even have you checked permissins to the music folders if there are readable and writable for all?
Iv tried stock music player, DoubleTwist, Meridian, AMP? maybe some others? and none of them could 'see' most of the songs. I know they are on the card in the music folder, would i maybe need to move them to a new one? The music apps can see 7 songs, but i have alot more on my card :/
Try MortPlayer - It is folder based (I love it, because play randomly by files,to albums etc...). Run it and select you music folder to scan it and see it it will be seen.
Il try that once my phone has charged fully, i ordered a new one after mine started to fail :/ should i delete battery stats after the charge to 100% do you think?
I think that it is not necessary if you wont observe some kind of strange reportings of battery level.
Thanks for the recommendation, MortPlayer seems to be working well. Just trying to gte the correct ablum arts now
You should be fine by rebooting the phone, if not then try wiping cache data and dalvik

Anytime
Use TCM musicTag Editor - simple and usable
Mortplayer uses the covers inside the music files or in their directory for eg. album art. Similar like dekstop players.
But still cant understand why other players cant recognize other music, as mentioned before, try reboot and even the wipe data of "Media provider".
My AT&T HTC One M7 Is really REALLY bumming me out. I use BitTorrent to download music to my phone and it all works fine, everything shows up in my default music player like it has been and should be...untill about a month ago. Some artists just started disappearing. Now everything disappears. I've tried going into the Google music player to see if it was just the default but no luck there. even tried downloading music players off the app store and not a single one says I have music. I've tried factory resetting but with unfortunate luck. The amount of frustration I have been feeling. Does anyone know how to fix this? By the way, my phone is not rooted
