I just got the Transformer Prime and popped in my class 4 32 gb micro SD card that I used in my Acer A500. I've got a lot of music and some movies on the card. I can play the movies no problem if I navigate to them with a file manager. When I click a song, Google Music opens but never plays any music or displays any info.I downloaded Poweramp but Im unable top navigate to external storage and it doesn't auto detect it. I copied a folder to the music folder on the internal sd card and both apps play the songs fine.
Is there a way to enable the SD card with these apps? I've also noticed that pics from external SD are not displayed in the gallery but they are in file manager. I have not yet rooted or unlocked and Im running the latest OTA.

Use Poweramp. You need to turn on sdcard detection manually...poke thru the settings. Default music apps suck.

I had mp3s on the internal storage, and music app picked them up fine. But I got an SD card, and wanted to use that for music. I transfered the music to the SD card but the music app doens't show them even after scanning for media
Edit: I realized I'm not even sure how to access the SD card from the FS
Edit2: Ugh nevermind, turns out the files on the card just got wiped after I transferred them
Have you formatted your card? I just created a folder on mine called music and copied my music to that

Ok something keeps deleting my music, and I can't figure out what
The SGS 2 has a good taste in music app that deletes a lot of stuff .

I am considering to buy tablet s. One concern is that on the web I found out the article sdcard slot is only for transffering file only. Which makes me think that it is not mountable? or if it is mounted, the files on the sdcard can not be used as if they are on main storage? If that is the issue, can it be circumvented by rooting etc? Any information on this? Thanks,
Rooting would help with mounting. Stock music and video players don't see the sd card but many third party ones see and play from it ok. I have not tried installing games to sd card yet and have not read anything about it here. By the way cards above 32gb work when formatted properly acording to some posts here. Hope it helps

The stock apps the tablet comes with unfortunately do not read directly from the sd card. However, there are tons of apps in the market that will read your music, videos, photos, whatever you want from the sd card. I have tested and used MX Video Player, Quick Pic, and my emulators gameboid and n64oid

Dunno why some people say the tablet s doesnt read/play from the sd card....i have a 16gb card in mine n it plays photos, videos, n music just fine using the file transfer app already on the tablet...this has essentially made my 32gb tablet a 48gb tablet n im loving it...

I think you are missing the point. The file transfer app copies the files from your sd card to the internal memory. The stock apps cannot directly play movies /music from sd card

To clear some misunderstandings here:
Sony Tablet S cannot play SD contents using the menus in default application (for example: when you will tun video player you cannot browse and play anything placed on SD card).
But if you will use bundled file explorer (or any other file explorer like ghost commander) you CAN play SD contents using stock apps - and it works fine.
So the real annoyance (untill root and mount) is the fact that you cannot _browse_ to media files directly from within bundled applications.
That's all - you don't need to transfer file to internal memory to play it, it can stay on the card.
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?

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.

I don't know if anybody else has any issues with google music not recognizing music stored on their sd card, if their phone already has internal storage, but I have noticed on my HTC Amaze that google music will only recognize the music on the internal storage and not all of the songs I had on my micro sd. Is it possible to modify google music to read or find music from more than one location on your phone?
PS I have more music than what would fit on the the phones storage so moving songs from micro SD to the phones internal storage would not be an option.
Delete The google music app and then reinstall it from some other source ! Maybe there's some problem in the APK !

I talked to another amaze owner that had the same problem. The issue is that google music will only recognize music files that are saved directly on the root of the SD card. As soon as the files are moved into a folder within the SD card it stops recognizing that the music is there anymore.

what phone do you have? does it have internal storage and a sd card slot? I have it on my nexus one and it has no problem recognizing music on the phone at all. I think something about having more than one storage place makes google music get all weird.

Exactly what the title says. I have 1000 MP3's in a Directory called Music on my SD card. The Music app on LTE will not find the MP3's on the SD card. When I cut and paste the MP3's to the Directory called Music on the LTE's memory the Music App will find the songs. I don't want to store all of my music on my phones internal memory.
Worked fine with OG EVO 4G

That is strange, I have all my music in the Micro SD card (ext_sd directory) and both the stock music app and the Poweramp recognize not only my my music but also my playlist's.
Try Poweramp and see what results you may have.
Go into settings and delete the cache/data for the music app that isn't finding the songs. That's what I did and it fixed the same issue I was having with Google music.
I had a similar problem with my EVO View 4G. Try an app in the Play Store called "SDRescan." Let it run overnight while charging.
It could also be that you loaded too much media all at once. I found that when I erased all of Google Currents' data on my tablet, the scan for music completed quickly. What was happening, apparently, is that the tablet was spending so much time scanning the Currents data that it was taking forever to get to the music folder.
Also the most simple but often overlooked thing to do: take the card out and put it back in to force the os to rescan it.

I learned you need to wipe the card using the Settings>Storage options.
Android creates its own folders on the card.
My Photos & Music weren't showing up right at 1st. See the thread I made via my profile for more info on what I did.

This might be an important point, along with how the songs were transferred. If you just loaded a bunch of MP3s to a blank microSD card and put it in the phone, it may have some problems. I formatted the card, put it in the phone, and then used HTC Media Sync to get my MP3s on my phone. They all transferred just fine, and all 526 of my songs show up in the music app.
OP...let us know which of the offered solutions worked for you.
Just a tip, in poweramp there appears to be a shortcut in the internal sd for the external sd which I haven't seen in the other apps I've used but anyway I selected my music folder through the shortcut and it loaded all my music twice, I had to clear the app and scroll pas sd to exsd and select music from there and rescan so it would list the tracks only once
