I've got myself a 64gb sd card formatted as exFAT and all is working well with one exception. Some files fail to appear in the Music player or Poweramp. If I rename the files they appear but as soon as I name them back the disappear again! Any ideas as I don't really fancy on working my way through all my albums to find if there are any missing tracks :laugh:

Hey Guys ..
I am playing around with my G-Tablet and for some reason I am unable to access and play/stream the music that I put on my External MicroSD card.
The only way I could listen to them is if I copy them to the folder called "sdcard/music".
I am currently running VEGAn-TAB ROM BETA 5.1. I tried the regular music program as well as Winamp .. and neither let me play the music straight off the micro sd card.
PLEASE HELP!
thank you in advance!
Strange, I have a similar problem in that music copied from a Flash drive to the sdcard/music folder will not be recognized by the Music App.
GL wit a solution
Make sure you do a reboot with Vegan-Tab after loading music. It won't show up otherwise. Also, if you added the .nomedia file to protect the data, it seems to prevent the tablet from scanning the SD Card.
Ok .. Im confused .. This is what I did ..
1) Copied my music to "SDCARD/MUSIC" folder .. unit had no problem playing the music.
2) After it was still on the external sd card under "SDCARD2/MUSIC" I removed the music that was copied from original internal memory (see #1) folder and then rebooted and music player or winamp would not read my music!
Ok - so basically my unit doesn't recognize the music from the external sd card! please help !!!
HMMMM .. wait .. I just rebooted again and for some reason its working now !! I think my G-Tablet is Possessed .. No matter, Im returning it to Woot anyway because I have a pixel out .. They are sending my new one Wednesday .. Hopefully I don't have this issue with the new one!
Thanks for the help!
I found that if you unmount the SD and then re-mount it the music won't show up until the tablet is rebooted and then it shows up again. I'm also useing Vegan 5.1.1 and that's what I've found. I also noticed that after mounting the SD card that the settings for performing this change to unmount in progress AFTER I have selected mount the sd, very odd
Hi guys,
Bought a SanDisk 32gb SDHC Class10 card from Amazon for my GS3. I want to put some music in FLAC onto it so I made a folder called music, but when I try and copy it across it gets a certain way then fails or freezes. Reformatted it last night from FAT32 to exFAT and the same thing is happening still. Hope it's not screwed, just want other opinions.
Cheers,
Eddie.

It shouldn't make any difference but did you try to format the SD Card in the phone, if not give it a go, from Settings > Storage > Format SD Card, reboot the phone, plug in the USB then when the folder option pops up to open the phone select that then create the folder on your SD Card and just drag and drop the music files from your PC folder to your SD Cards Phone folder.
Thanks for the help. I have established now that I am able to transfer music that isn't FLAC with out fault. It has led me to think that perhaps I formatted it to FAT32 and it doesn't like file sizes bigger than 4gb. But I am almost certain that I uses exFAT.

I am not sure if this has been posted before but I have a galaxy S4 running Cyanogenmod 10.1. I have a scan disk 64gb card and the folder selector in Poweramp is showing /storage/sdcard1 but it does not have a tree to select a specific folder on the card, so I put my music folder directly in the root of the sd card but Poweramp won't find my music. I have selected the sd card with a check mark and rescanned with no luck. I have rebooted as well with no luck. Apollo and other music apps work fine but I want to use Poweramp.
Poweramp worked fine before I installed the ROM.
If this is a bug please let us know so we can wait for a fix, or is there something we can do to get it going?
Thanks,
Steve
FIXED!
I figures it out. You can use a 64gb card but it must be formated to Fat32. You can google how to do this on your windows pc.
Hi,
I've installed cm11 m10 on my Galaxy S2 i9100, with following instructions:
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100 (newbie, not allowed to create a correct link.
Everything works fine except for playing Music (mp3).
I have an external 64 GB SD Card initially formatted with fat32. I've uploaded mp3s there. I tried several players (Appollo, MixZing, Google Play Music) but none of them found music. On MixZing I was able to navigate to the files but when click on an mp3 file, only the spinning circle is showing but playing didn't start.
I googled and found advices that it may be related to the sd card being formatted fat32. So I tried two things. I formatted the SD Card with exfat and second I copied the mp3 files to the internal storage. That didn't change anything. Music files are shown in file manager but they do not play.
I also observe that on Setting/Storage the external SD Card is shown ut only shows the total amount of space used, no disitinction on e.g. media files, like in the internal storage
Is that a known problem or is that special to my setup ?
It's the first time I use cyanogenmod so I may also do newbie errors
Hi Stefan,
Or the music files are corrupt, probably wouldn't be it.
Or its a bug. I suggest to you to also have a look in the android development forum for other custom roms.
Also does audio works on cyanogenmod m10? So notifications sound etc?
First of all thanks for the quick reply.
It's always like that I searched the whole evening for a solution, almost immediately after posting this question. Things started working. The bad thing is I do not why it suddenly works
My setup is now:
Music is on externald SD Card formatted with exfat.
No Music on internal storage.
I triggered a rescan of the sd card using Rescan SD app.
Under Settings/Storage the sd card still only showing the overall usage.
But since Music and jpegs are working I'm ok with that.
Ahh okay, good that it's now working properly, else you could always find another custom rom in the android development forum that is more optimized and better for your phone.
Have fun :good:
Welcome,
I have Shuttle Music Player app - a really nice music player for Android. But I have a problem with it.
Last month I created .nomedia file to make some folders disappeared in Gallery. But first localization of .nomedia was external SD card. After creating .nomedia there Shuttle didn't recognize any music file. This is normal, I know. But after deleting .nomedia Shuttle still not recognizing music files. Reinstall didn't help. Someone can tell me, why?
[EDIT] In stock music player is the same situation.

they have an google+ community for beta testers,i think that is the best place to you ask this https://plus.google.com/communities/117933878882076364363
Try unmounting and mounting your SD card in Settings > Storage.
I had the same concern.
Removing and re-installing the external SD-CARD fixed the concern.

As has been mentioned before: unmounting and re-mounting the SD card should solve the problem, maybe a simple reboot of your device could be used also.
A short explanation why you have been facing this problem. As far as I know, Shuttle uses the Android media library, which is built up by the internal media scanner of your device. This media scanner runs at start-up of your device or when a storage is mounted, e.g. your SD card. When you place a .noMedia file in a folder to exclude it, the media scanner will ignore all files in this folder. When you delete the .noMedia file, you have to trigger the scanner to re-scan all files, so that the files from the formerly excluded folder ca be re-integrated into the media library and such being available again for music player apps or gallery apps.
Hi.
I'm trying to use this player, I organize mp3s in folders.
My problem is that mp3s are played only if they are in the root, internal or external sd.
if they are inside folders, they simply don't play.
