im running eclipse 0.4 and have which ever music play comes with that.. ive noticed it cant seem to read the music on my SD card, only internal memory. how can i make it read both?
I had the same problem, I posted in his topic but never got it fixed. I reckon no music player finds your music? Mine didn't so I just went back to 2.3.3.
im useing Winamp with my music on the SD card and its reading ok for me.
I like poweramp. Can also reduce skipping most if time using the buffer setting.
It has an option in settings that allows u too choose which folders to scan for music. Including external sd card folders. 14 days trial. Costs 5$ after that but definitely worth it.
Ok so the Stock music player will not find the music I have on my SD Card for some odd reason. I installed PowerAmp just to check if it was an SD Card issue but that finds and reads the Music just fine so I really have no idea what is going on. Also had this thing installed on my HTC Vivid and the music is found, same with the Atrix 2 I have. So it seems it is just this phone, any ideas would be helpful. So far I have tried UnNamed Rom, Perception, and Lidroid...all three exact same results. Oh yea same with Video's as well. I can explore to them all using a file explorer but they don't show in the stock Video/Music Player, also photos from other phone does not show up in gallery.
That is odd. Mine has never had an issue finding everything.
Use the google market to download a free song. Then throw all your music in that folder and then see if it picks it up.

Did you accidentally add a .nomedia file somewhere on the SD card?
I've had that happen before on the Infuse.
Just checked and there is no .nomedia file anywhere on the card and I also had just gotten done reformatting the card and moving files back to the card.

Just did that and the irony is that it did add it to the google music player but not to the stock music player...Nothing is showing in the Stock Music player. It is also randomly does Media Scanning. I am starting to wonder if the actual SD Reader is out of the box busted. I bought this thing through Amazon, can I just take it to an AT&T store and get a replacement through them or should I go directly through Samsung or am I stuck requesting a new phone from Amazon?
I was able to get the music noticed but I had to move it to the Internal Memory...Not the solution I need but works temporarily unless anyone has any better ideas.
Just figured out how to find out if it is hardware or software related...Gonna flash Miui and if it still has issues than it is most def. hardware considering this card works perfectly fine in the 4 other phones I have.
Well that pretty much just confirmed my suspicions of the card reader having issues considering it is doing the same exact thing in Miui Rom that is using a totally different Stock Music Player. Now I get to have the fun of figuring out where and how to get a new one.
So new information that i thought i ought to share for anyone having issues like this. i had a bunch of backup apks on the card and some where down the line one of them got corrupted so for some reason this phone pickes up on it when all the others would just skip it and continue scanning for media this one stopped. so if you run into this issue try deleting your backed up apps or before doing that back them up to your pc than bring them back 1 by 1 until you find the culprit.
The new Music app has the Music Square feature that for the life of god I cannot figure out how to get working. I understand you're supposed to press a square and generally get a personalised playlist out of it, but any attempt of interacting with the square just tells me that 'Selected list is empty'. Anybody else running into the same issues?
Same here...
Hi guys,
I realized that it will only recognize your songs if you stored it in your phone instead of memory card.
If anyone find the ways to make it work for songs in memory card, please share!!
Thanks in advance.
sooo - i had the same problem and that's how i fixed it go to music player, than choose musicsquare after that press the options Touchbutton and choose "update library" - after it is done the music square should run perfectly
I do not have a SD card so do not know if the issue with recognizing songs only in internal memory is only with your device since i can not test it ... sorry
Did not work for me. I have alot of music on my 64GB card...so much for that...maybe it'll be in the update.
It's working fine for me, including the songs from the external SD.
All I did was from the Music Square tab I updated the library.
Music square>Menu button>Library Update>Done!
music square has ruined my life
i cant get this thing to work at all and i doubt anyone else with a sizeable music collection can. for all those people saying put your music in the phone memory - where is the stuff from the phone memory going to go? the purpose of an sd card is to store your media on so that you dont fill your phone.

My songs are in my 64gb microSD card. Music square is now updating
Worked for me on External SD
Hi Guys: just downloaded over 300 songs from my Amazon Cloud player and transferred them via USB to my SD card under what Windows Explorer called "SCH-I535" (with small mobile phone icon) and the Card-->Music. I copied all the folders.
Then started the Samsung Music Player and the Music Square found all of the songs and analysed them for where they sat within the four axis. Very interesting app--since it's my music, this is a cool way to get a bit of a surprise of what pressing a square will bring. But it did miscacluate one of my driving trance songs as "calm".
An S3 reviewer said this about it: "You can drag your finger across the squares to choose a 'progressive' playlist based on your mood...this is a really nice way of making a playlist from your tunes." So I dragged my finger in a square and it presented a list of 22 songs that "matched" these squares moods.
At first it didn't start working for me when I first bought the phone, but since I updated to LFB, Music Square works.
I have about 3000 songs on a 32gb. I have it under Music folder on the fat32 card. In the music square screen, press menu and select update library and it does a one time scan and that's it.
I have approx 64GB SDCARD and also 16GB music on my phone and it works perfectly with Music square, you have to have minimum of 25 songs on the phone, select update library rfom the menu on the music square page and all will be good to go
yaay for music square... not ... its quite a cool idea but i dont think it works that great. not worth the fuss if im honest. just make your own playlists! i do like samsungs music player though. very clean and easy to use. never crashed on me. never had any problems with it
It's working for me. I select update library every time I add new songs.
But it did stop playing after a number of songs, so I need to select play again.
I like this feature, it just needs to be enhanced.:good:

I have about 1000 songs on my 32 gb sd card. I have run the update library, it then works, for a while then randomly stops, run the update, works again!!
This can be in the space of 1 hour!
Any ideas?
Honestly, music square is not always working properly and alot is mistaken and play songs that are not related to the mood at all and personally I hate when it plays a song that not works wirh my mood which frustrate me , like sometimes I play smooth tunes while having a nap on my ride in bus and suddenly it turns to play some hard tune that differ from mood I selected so I honestly prefer creating my own playlists by myself.

How can i get 'Samsung Music Square' on my redmi 1s??
I'm using a Galaxy S5 but I can't find the Library Update option when i go into the music square.
I'm having the same issue where the selected list is empty.
Any thoughts?
im having issues with my music square. it says playlist is empty. all my songs are on my 16gb sd card. ive already tried updating the library. still not working. thanks in advance.
Is anyone else having problems accessing music stored on external SD card via Google Play Music.
GPM on my S3 resolutely refuses to see any music stored on my external SD card ever since the update to version 4.xxxx.
All versions prior to this played music from my external SD card with no problems.
I've tried all the obvious stuff like clearing cache etc. but nothing seems to work.
Other 3rd party music players I've tested all see music on the external SD card. Also, strangely, My Galaxy Note 10.1 with the latest version of GPM CAN see and playback music on the external SD card.
I'd like to start using GPM on my S3 but without external SD card support, it's pretty much useless in my eyes
Has anyone had the same problem and been able to find a solution?
TIA people.
All players see my music on Ext SD card though this topic has been posted before .
Try deleting it and adding back .

Deleting what? The music or GPM itself? I've already tried reinstalling GPM but that didn't work.
Also, I did search the forum before posting this but couldn't find a full thread on the topic. I did find one mention and posted on that one a few weeks ago, but got no reply. Happy to look at the other thread and delete this one if you can give the link.
Cheers.
