Hi
Each time there is modification in File structure of My photon, every App starts freezing...failing to access their files.
For Example:
Dailer Hangs trring to play rington on incoming calls
Winamp fails to list songs
Is this becuse i have close to 1000 songs on Internal Stroge and every time it tries to make new file indexes ?
What file structure changes are you making?
It sounds like you are talking about the internal SD card...might need to copy everything off of it to computer and reformat it...
Yeah...i mean everytime i add a new song or a new video to the Internal Stroage through USB or Air Droid...the Whole phone freezes for few hours....unable to access files. It is only after 3-4 hours that it starts working normally..
Any idea, what could be the issue.
Sorry...no idea what could be going on.
I was thinking, maybe it the number of files are too much that why ?
Has anyone loaded a 32GB Card full of 1500+ Songs to Photon

I have found a folder called "ext_sd" and It has everything i have on External sd.
So poweramp is getting these 2 folders and putting multiple files in my library, And i can't uncheck that from the files in the settings because it always rechecks its self.
And if i delete one of the duplicates, it deletes both of them.
Please help, it's really bothering me!
So is there anyway to delete the "exr_sd" file on the internal SD, or just stop it from showing everything on my external sd card?

Oops, somehow I thanked your post. Anyways, I think I had the same problem before. I want to say I just unchecked the primary sdcard folder, and it worked fine. I have to say though, Poweramp drives me nuts. I've had so many crashes and issues with every version I tried that I don't even use it anymore. One bug is that if I skip too many tracks ahead too quickly, then I have to force close even to get a song to play at all.
Also, when the EQ is active, sound quality takes a pretty big hit. I switched to Mortplayer with barely any regrets. Sometimes I use Poweramp, but until they fix it, Mortplayer is my go-to player.
I had this issue awhile ago also. To fix this you need to go into settings and locate the option to specify which folder the music is in.
The key is to uncheck ALL the boxes and then only selext the one folder on your sdcard with music. For example, uncheck all boxes and only check the box for sdcard/ext_sd/music.
For some reason Poweramp always checks and applies two folders for music on the sdcard because of the symlink of the sdcard to ext_sd.

Thanks guys, I unchecked everything except for the "ext_sd" folder and that seems to have fixed it.
I've done a couple searches, and the recurring theme is "Kies is the buggiest piece of software ever written by Samsung."
And so far I can't get it to transfer my modest (~3,000 song) music library to my GS3. I've tried splitting up the playlist into smaller ones, even putting in on internal memory versus the SD card. Every time the result is the same, the sync freezes and I have to force quit the Kies app, then delete the "media" folder and start over.
That said, anyone have some obvious advice that I've overlooked? How about an alternative for getting my music on my phone? Doubletwist/iSyncr don't work without paying for them, and the drag-and-drop's not going to cut it for me, since I'm importing from a larger music library on my PC.
Thanks in advance!

If only that were true!
I just tried your advice and drag/dropped my iTunes playlists into a folder to export the songs, mounted the S3 in MTP mode on my XP box, and it freezes up after a while ("not responding"), and then when I remount it, only a few files show up.
Am I looking at a situation where I need to replace the USB drivers, or am I just a mouthbreather?
Hello all, I had recently upgraded to a SanDisk Class 4 32GB microSD card and within a few days after I had merged all of my phone's data and my old sd's data, my pictures come up as broken files, and my music shows about 5-8 duplicates of each song but only a select few will play and the others will act like they're playing but no audio plays and the seconds of the song stays at zero. I even restart my phone with the sd out and the media scanner doesn't show that it's running, and I'm pretty sure it's not because when I go back to the music player I still see all of the songs that are on my sd and the pictures still show that they're broken...idk how the files still show in there without the sd card being in there, but I'm afraid I might have done something wrong when I had cut and pasted all of the files from the phone itself onto the sd. I have no real knowledge of android programming or rooting or anything like that so I figure it would help to mention my phone is stock but officially upgraded to 4.0.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and could possibly help more users out there!
I think you have to go to settings-apps-all tab-media storage- clear data. I think I remember right. Maybe try it without your card in. Replace SD card and turn on phone and I think it will scan correctly.
Or something like that. Hope it helps
Yeah I've tried all of the available functions from the phone and also mounting & unmounting it. I'm assuming from being a windows user that I might have transferred over some sort of "playlist" that remembers all of the file extensions for each file, and since they're not located in their original place it cant find the file...idk but it really takes a toll on my drive to work!
[Q] Strange Issue: Stock Music Player loses Playlist & Settings after every reboot
I'm on Stock ICS and every time i reboot my SGSIII, the stock music player loses all my playlists and settings. I've got the same issue on JB (DLIB).
Can anyone help me with this please? Or can anyone tell me, where the stock music player stores the Playlist? Did a forumsearch, but i only found this old an unanswerd thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979931
Thanks!
Anyone?

I don't have this issue, but similar... after I play a music, if I disconnect the headset after a while (can't say how long) when I plug again the headset, the music starts not from the point were was left, but from the start. This also happens if I restart the phone!!!
I don't get it... is this right?!? Is this a bug or a "feature"?!?!
Samsung, were are in 2012!!! My previous music players, google music and sense player did this!!!
Apologies for bringing back an old thread, but I'm having a similar problem where the playlists in the stock music player app never seem to retain their songs after plugging the phone into a PC to do some backup or synching for example. This is on the 4.1.2 BTU update. Anyone know of any ideas on how to fix it? I have tried dismounting the SD Card (Where all the songs are) and reinserting it.
I am experiencing the same problem. The actual playlist doesn't get deleted but the contents of all playlists gets deleted. It's caused by the external SD card getting unmounted. I found out that if I bump my phone (eg. by putting it down on a table a little too hard or throwing it on my bed) my external SD card will sometimes get disconnected briefly (a warning message does get displayed at the top in the notification area but it just flashes by briefly so you might miss it) and after that all of my playlists have been emptied out. To prove this is the cause I tried to unmount the SD card manually via Settings and the same thing happened to the playlists. Also when you connect to a PC I believe the SD card gets unmounted from the phone so it can be accessed via the PC. The strange thing is the playlists don't seem to be stored on the external SD card. I took my SD card out of my phone and plugged into my PC and did a search. Couldn't find any playlist files. There is a folder on the internal storage card called Playlists and I can see a bunch of files in there that have the same name as all of my playlists. These files don't seem to store the actual playlists though because they are all emtpy zero length files and their modification data is set to the the day I first created the playlist even though I have added songs to the playlist since then.
Can anyone please provide an explanation of how the stock player stores playlists or how to back them up? I would like to at least be able to backup my playlists in case they get cleared out again.
Oyyyy
Well that blows. My s2 didn't do this, my s3 sure does tho. Sounds like when the SD is unmounted, it notices files no longer exist, and removes them from playlist. Definitely supports my hatred of the Nexus line (no SD card so Google likely just overlooked this).
Anyways, I read this as a some-what fix:
"I use MyBackup Pro to save my playlists, it does a really good job but have just recently changed all mine to M3U playlists which I store and update on my PC. I just move them to my music folder on the sdcard of the phone and my media players (mixzing, stock player, amazon mp3 and google music) all recognize them. This save me a lot of hassles if something gets lost or not backed up right."
I haven't tried yet, but it's better than having to re-create playlists I suppose.
Pro-tip: Create a tasker/local/NFC launch to backup playlists weekly/ whatever
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and just stumbled upon this post... I unmounted my SD Card and then re-mounted and bam... The playlist on my stock music player is gone. I tried to restore data only from Titanium Backup and MyBackup Pro. No luck... will now try to restore just the data partition image which I made a few days ago.
Hopefully this will bring it back, if not, will have to do a full Nandroid Restore.
This should not happen if I choose to unmount and then remount the sdcard to refresh data.
I have done this by accident again, even knowing that this would happen. Back to the drawing board.

I sincerely doubt a Nandroid restore is necessary, just delete all music off the phone/sd card, and send the playlists to the phone again...I've done this several times.
No idea why it keeps happening, it is annoying, but I have all the playlists stored in Winamp, so I just send them to the SD card, and I'm back up and running in short order.

No disrepect, but it does not make any sense to have to delete all of my music to restore a playlist. I do not use Winamp so not a viable solution for me. I found out that the default players can see playlists under the internal sdcard card, music, then playlists folder. As I said I have a T-Mobile Note2.
The reason my for post was that Playlists should not be lost when unmounting and re-mounting of your external sdcard.
I am new to Samsung, coming from HTC Desire. And got into bizarre already )
A couple of days ago noticed a strange problem with photos in galery unreadable, appearing to be corrupt (all of them on external sd, internal sd photos are displayed properly). Then today happened that Music app couldn't play music files on external SD.
Read countless of similar issues on the internet, with lots of people blaming on the sd card. However, I found that it is not the case.
Put into a SD card reader and plug into PC, the files on SD card are all ok.
Put back card into phone and investigated further. First I thought maybe it's a problem with SD card reader in the phone. BUT! Noticed files are perfectly visible in ES File Explorer, and even display correctly when using Gallery App to open them from ES file explorer. But if Gallery is opened first, it cannot display files.
I'm sure somebody else happened the same, since the internet is full with such reports regarding Galaxy devices (even S1 and Note alike), but anyone identified the sorce of the problem and eventually solved it? I would be very much interested.

Try to run Rescan Media app from Play store.
Maybe your media scanner service does not work properly and needs to refresh the list of media files on your sd card.
Good luck !
rescan is done automatically every reboot. doesn't help. thanx anyway.
investigated further and found out that the files are not corrupt, but the libraries of Music app and Gallery app created duplicated empty files (in fact 2 fake entries in library for every valid file on the card). Duplicate files don't exist physically on SD card, only in libraries of the two applications.
Already tried formatting cache and dalvik cache, but to no avail...
ICS 4.0.4 Orange Romania (BVLPH) stock ROM.
Later EDIT: This was an easy one. Unmounted SD Card and open Gallery app and Music app. Then re-mount SD Card, both apps will refresh libraries, wait a while for media scan in the background and voila: duplicate files disappear, everything is in god order.
I had a similar problem where both gallery and music files were duplicated, but the duplicates were unreadable.
My solution was Settings -> Applications -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data.
This forced a refresh and everything turned normal again.
Slightly annoying that the media scan data is stored under a separate application and not within the data of the gallery or music player applications, but once I discovered this it was an easy fix.
