hmmmm never knew about this app would of come in handy a few days ago :/ How do u find the app does it sync itunes to your device in the same folder structure Itunes is in on your comp?
Have you had any problems with files not being seen by your device but being on the storage?
Right firstly on itunes u need to make ur music into playlists which basically means that u drag ur music (album for example) from the music to the bottom left of itunes
U need to download the tunesync for windoww as well as the app on ur phone
Type in tunesync in market its through the market there is a free try before u buy option and the full version
U can select in the androis app which folder to put it into. . U have choice of internal sd card but i wantdd external sd so u ned to point it to the external sd
There ia a free version to try first it only does 20 songs
U need in thr app to click on the sync enable
On the s3 set the path to /mnt/extSdCard/
It is well worth the money

Sync playlists and music from iTunes (MAC) to ext SD with Kies
I have posted in another thread a way to sync (with USB cable, then much faster than WiFi), whatever music you want from your MAC iTunes, including your iTunes playlist, to the external SD Card of your Galaxy S3.
Perhap you want to take a look to it and if it helps you.
Cheers,
Paco

What are the proper folders on the SD card to transfer videos, music, and photos to so that when you turn DLNA on, other devices will see them? Because no matter which computer or console I use, when the moto DLNA is on, it just shows empty folders and I'm guessing I'm not sending to the right folders. I prefer to just transfer to the phone by way of USB mass storage instead of using sync. Can anyone tell me which folders to create on the SD card? I notice a DLNA folder on the internal card but that didn't work and besides, I prefer to put media on the sd card I plugged in.
It might be reading your internal sd

No. It just doesn't seem to like any video I put on it no matter what the video. It likes my mp3s but is it just a bad DLNA server that doesn't recognize any of the popular video formats?
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.

GT-I9003
Yes, it has both, internal storage as well as sd card!

it's awful and can't handle it when you have an sd card as well as internal storage. every time i transfer new songs onto the phone my playlists show up as empty and i have to remount usb, remove the doubletwist folder and dismount one drive before the other, then wait ages. if i dismount in the wrong order it doesn't work
any music player that can handle playlists that you can make on the PC and not on the phone?
if you're able to create a playlist with relativ filepaths it should work.
But as i know most players use the absolute filepath and this wont work on your phone.
Try a app called MUSIC FOLDER PLAYER. I don't know.if it's available from google play but you'll find it in Samsung apps. It's got some nice features a decent equaliser and plays each folder from where you left off. PS it's got a different name tagging feature so It may sort out your problem.

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
Id like to know if it is possible to move these two apps to my sdcard. Specially spotify because it uses a lot of memory space.
Cheers

Spotify already has your music library on your SD card, you are worried about 40mb?
It may be possible to move it on a clean installation, but you'd have to delete the app to test it out.
How do I know spotify stores the media on my sdcard? And how can I move whatsapp to my external card?
