Hey Everyone,
So I am on my 3rd prime and have ran into a problem. I am trying to put MP3 files on the internal 32gb SD card through windows.
When I try and drag and drop the files into the Music Folder, it tells me that it cannot copy the file because the device has stopped responding.
I can copy MP4 files to the Movies Folder without any problem..
Anyone else have this problem?
Walkamo
I did but it seemed to fix after the ics update. Now I have a problem with the tablet reading the actual music files in the music player. Just skips songs. I also used my phones SD card to transfer music over.

Guys,
Having now got my Samsung TV set up wirelessly I thought I would try AllShare on the SGSII and DLNA a few video files across.
However, what I am finding is AllShare does not seek out all movie files stored on either the internal SD or External_SD. It lists video's you have created using the default camera App.
Has anyone found a way to get AllShare to display movies you have transferred onto the SGSII?
Edited:
Sorted - See Post 7.
I seriously can not believe no one is interested in finding out why we can not display all video/photo and audio files.
I tried this on my Tab and sure enough Allshare does display other video files not stored in the camera folder, so it begs the question why is it the SGSII does not allow you to display them?
If this is correct and again I fail to see it's accuracy that would mean you can not show a movie you have on your external_sd card via Allshare. That sounds utterly preposterous.
Either I am missing something so simple it is eluding me or there is a problem with Allshare's ability in searching for and displaying all supported file's.
I don't want this topic to die without first a fight but if no one replies it will fold away in the depth's of xda-devs.
The Allshare apps on my SGSII has no problems listing videos not inside DCIM.
I've installed the Allshare app on my HTPC (Win7). Using the app on teh SGSII I'm able to playback videos in folder /sdcard/Movies (that's the internal card, don't have an external card to test with)

Thanks for replying, appreciated.
Well I am pleased to hear you can display and play other video media, this is how it should be.
Now if I can get someone to test the external sd as well then I will know if I have a problem with my Allshare.
Meanwhile I will try copying a few video's to the internal sd/movies folder and see if Allshare can pick them up. If so then it may be that Allshare does not list files on the external sd.
Weird as the Tab does.
Received my SD card today and moved the videos folder over from internal to external card. Allshare still shows the videos in the My Device tab > Videos view

Can you provide an accurate naming and directory of exactly where on the external_sd card they are stored please.
Maybe it's because I have mine buried too deep in the card for Allshare to pick them up.
As in say ~ sdcard/external_sd/movies/
/external_sd/Video/
In the Video folder I have mkvs and avi which I copied over.
Allshare could see them in KDD and now KE2 firmware. Didn't test with other firmwares.

That worked a treat.... Thanks, sorted.
What did you have to do, rename the Movies folder to Video?
No... When I tried that it still didn't display anything.
However when I moved the Movies folder to the root it then listed the files.
So weird.... naming the folder to Video's in the root displays nothing
Having the folder name Movies not in the root displays nothing.
.. but having the folder name Movies in the root works.
Talk about confusing.....
My next issue is with Music.
Any music in a folder named Music either in the root on the external_sd or directly in sdcard/ does not display anything inside that folder.
Where do you have your music stored and under what name?
Music is stored in /sdcard/Music/Artist/Album/track.mp3 and Allshare can see it all no problem.
I sync my music using WMP12 and it creates the Music folder and all subfolders. Works manually too.

Weird..... that is where I stored my folder named Music but Allshare finds nothing.
I'll have a closer look later... Just about to go back into theatre for this mornings Ops.
EDITED:
Well... I found the time in the end and what a surprise it is...
If I place the music where you did in sdcard/music/ Allshare does not display it.
But.. if I place it in sdcard/media/ the music files are then picked up?
I can't seem to get my phone to recognize some of my mp3 songs. I've placed the same file in about 100 different folders on ext_sd and on internal but it won't show up in music player or my alarm. I can see it and play it under es file explorer. Tried reboots and unmounting the card. I even use the extended controls update media widget. Any help?
Did you try clearing data for the music player? This might help your sd card get scanned for new music.
Just a thought
Check what folders you have the player scanning for music.
Recently i have been experiencing that my memory card was not reading only my music mp3 files..... Can someone help me with this plz?
I think you need to elaborate a bit more as I'm not entirely sure what your situation is. Naturally your sdcard has different types of files on it and not just mp3s, mp4s etc. Where are you trying to view your music files?

Have you tried deleting the files off your phone and restoring from known working files?

Maybe the music indexing service that runs on boot hasn't indexed those files? Since he's able to view new files, it would seem that it's indexing these new files, but for some reason isn't doing the same for the already existing files. My friend's HTC One X had a similar issue and I fixed it by going to Manage apps>All and clearing data of the app that contained the Android indexing service. I forgot what it was called though. If anyone knows the name you can tell him to try to clear it's data, reboot and leave his phone untouched for 5-7 minutes.
1-backup data and music
2-clear temp data
3-format memory in fat32
4-reapet copy music files in memory
5-restart phone
6-wait for find music with player
check and play your musics for any players...
This is an old Android issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4314
Hey guys
My S3, running Jellybam 6.3.0, works fine, but there is a little issue that I'm experiencing
and it's become pretty irksome.
I had 8gb of music on an iPod that I transferred to my PC, then to and SD card, which I now use for my GS3.
All of my past music appears in music players and play fine, but any new music that I download from the phone doesn't show up.
I thought maybe the music players weren't scanning for mp3 files in the download folder, so I decided to move them from the downloads folder
to my Music folder with all my other files.
Here's the problem:
The file manager doesn't seem to "see" for find any of the old music, despite all of the media players finding it no problem.
Also, any new music I download can be searched for an played in a music player, but it is never added to the library.
I decided to mount my phone to my PC do double check, and all of my music is there in the Music folder, which is on the root of my sd card.
Has anyone else had this issue

Did you try to wipe data and install everything again??
Might be a DRM issue?
I've been on my S4 for about a month, and have encountered an annoying problem.
I have about 10 gb of music in a folder called Music on my external SD card. I can see and pltany song via my files, or ES file Explorer. But none of my music apps (Samsung Music Player, Winamp, or Google Play Music) can see any songs that are in the Music folder. They can see music in the download folder on the sd card, but not the folder that houses my music files.
I've tried changing the default location in My Files, but that had no effect. I've cleared defaults, and tried everything I can think of, but no luck.
Has anyone else encountered this? How can I get my apps to see my music folders?

Try popping out and polling in your SD card. That forces the gallery to search for new files. Never know, that might be the problem.

Check for files called .nomedia and delete if you find any. That's really all I can think of right now
