I had this problem with my S2 as well; I connect my phone with usb debugging checked and copy paste all my music from the music folder on my PC to the music folder on my SD card.
I keep getting the error, " sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file"
Is there anyway to fix this or am I doing something wrong? The music is in mp3 format.
Can somebody please help me out? Thanks
Usb Debugging has nothing to do with normal file transfer.
What type of file extension are you trying to copy? Normal mp3 or some less common and/or proprietary format such as aac, flac, wma, ...

they are all MP3 format
Try copying your files to the phone throug Airdroid or another file transfer app.
Alternatively if you're rooted, you can use the Easy UMS app to mount your external sdcard on the computer.

I am rooted, where would I find the easy ums app? For now i will try using airdroid
So i copied and pasted my music to the sd card. Now when i try to play files, some work and some still give the same error message. Also when I click on a song, it automatically starts shuffling through the list but only stays on each song for a second. Im stumped!
I tried Isyncr and Isyncr wifi, both did not work. It shows that it has transferred 500 files but when I go to the music, theres only about 25 files there. The Isyncr process took about 25 minutes and it showed every song that was copied. But when i looked in the music and syncr folder, there were only about 25 songs, I dont understand why the rest were not copied????
It's to do with the media scanner not running. Download rescan media from market and run it and then give it a minute and try going back to music again and they should work. I don't know if there is a bug in the firmware but it's annoying.

Yes, I have exactly the same problems for a few of my mp3 files.
I maybe due to some permission issue with the files? Strangely, I can play
all the problematic mp3s directly from the file explorer but not from the player
or any other media players including winamp, real, BS Player etc.
Anyone got a solution for this?
Do the mp3 files have the same properties regarding bitrate...maybe it cannot play files with 320kbps or more or files vith VBR(varibile bit rate)

Well, no, they are all either 128k or 192k.
I also converted some flv files to mp3 with Real converter, the player also cannot play these converted mp3.

So I did do a search before posting and the only topics I had found were referring to mp3 on an external sd card... I do NOT have an sd card installed.... so far I tried dragging and dropping the files on the phone and then I removed those and used kies to load the music to the phone...
but if I go to music it just keeps saying, sorry, this player does not support this type of file?
Oh, the weird part.... some songs work fine, only certain ones give me that error... which really makes it hard to shuffle..... all files are mp3!
Suggestions?
Are the mp3 files vbr?
Seems like my SGS2 cannot play some vbr mp3 files.
not that I know of, lol.. I just looked at the files that will not play and it does not mention that anywhere, thx

Hi guys,
I dont know if already mentioned,i put some songs in my sd card(internal and external) I played few songs with sammy music player and then I deleted one cd (one folder).i opened again the music player and I still can see the deleted songs.If I try to play them it says "file does not exist".The only way to remove them is by deleting inside the music player or after rebooting phone.I initially deleted songs from root explorer.Whats going wrong?also tried the poweramp with same results.Is it the deleting or adding real time?
Same issue with video player.I played an avi file,deleted and its still in videos list.Any idea what am I doing wrong?

I've deleted an album with the stock file manager and there was no problem. Hope you can solve yours.

Im guessing that when you delete something with root explorer the phone wont re-scan the media but with the stock file manager it does. I dont know if theres an option in the setting to rescan media but I know that there are apps in the market that can be used to do that. I use Extented Controls and with it you can have a media scan button in a widget.
Hello,
When I copy music to the Music folder on my sdcard, Winamp does not see the files. I have to reboot the tablet in order for Winamp to see the new music files. Is this normal?
If I copy video/movie files to my sdcard, rockplayer sees the video/movie files without rebooting.
Have you tried to rescan media? That is usually what helps. There is even an app in the Market for that, cannot remember the name.
I didn't see rescan media option in winamp. Found the app though. Thanks for the advice.
Hi,
I find this unusual problem when transferring mp3 files to my phone. I use the Kies software on my PC to sync with my music folder. When it finish sync with the phone, it shows a complete transfer without problems, but when I open the music player my mp3s don't show up. After playing with the phone for a while, I found the mp3s to be in a folder called media. I have to transfer those mp3s to the music folder under Samsung in order for the mp3 to show up in the music player.
Why doesn't the transferred mp3 files go straight to that music folder under Samsung and instead I have to manually transfer it from the media folder on the phone? Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you
Bump to the top!

Well my suggestion is use Mediamonkey for transferring or managing music. In Mediamonkey you can configure the path where the files have to be uploaded, the order of uploading (artist>album>title) , file formats supported by the device and much more ! I have uploaded my music(FLACs) with Mediamonkey on SGS2 and all the music shows up correctly(along with track order) in the stock music player. Try it

Thank you for your help, I will give Mediamonkey a try.
It's so just weird using Samsung software on a Samsung phone doesn't work correctly.
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...
