My Prime just developed a weird problem out of the blue. No music apps that use the media scanner can see the music files on my MicroSD card. Stuff from /sdcard is showing up but anything mounted on /Removable is invisible, both MicroSD and SD... The files are there and can be opened with a file explorer. Images on external storage get picked up by the gallery as well.
I've checked for ".nomedia" files, rebooted, cleared play music data/cache, stopped and restarted media process and cleared it's data cache, wiped system cache, did a dirty reinstall of my ROM (AndroWook 2.1), used alternate players/browsers to browse to and play the files (Winamp/Poweramp), tried most of the above docked/undocked, etc. Nothing is working. I'm about ready to wipe the system and do a full reinstall of my ROM but that is a pain, so I'm willing to try any decent suggestion anyone might have as an alternate solution.

Hey everyone,
i installed MIUI v1.7.22 on my phone.
Everything is working fine, but however the music player isn't finding all of my songs.
I have about 2600 music files by 225 artists but the music player is just showing 1200 files and 4 artists
Tried to set the filter option to 0 kb: didn't change anything, my external sd- card is recognized.
Any suggestions?
You could try putting them all in one folder...
/sdcard/media
well, all my music is stored on the external sd card
tried it but changed nothing, again...
instead, its now only showing the files on the internal sd card...
i have the same problem...only read some folders, not all...
this fixed it for me
I posted this reply in another thread too, but since this is newer, it hopefully won't hurt to repeat it.
I've tried MIUI several times (different builds), and I've always had this problem. Just on a hunch, I tried something today that fixed it for me. Might work for you too.
1. Installed ROM Manager. Chose reboot into recovery mode.
2. In recovery mode I first fixed permissions. Then I wiped Dalvik cache (I suspect this didn't really do anything, but I did it, so I include it). Then I went into the mount menu and mounted sd card (it said unmounted before).
3. Reboot
4. Watched the music player starting to count up all the missing music.
Is this working for anyone else? It sure isn't working for me. I've been using poweramp as a substitute, but I love the miui player.
Okay so today i was using Play music , which has been running fine and then today i got a error saying ,"couldn't play the track you requested". So what i did was removed the sd card out (my songs are stored in the sd card) , put it back in , waited a bit , nothing happened , i rebooted with and without the sd card in. And nothing worked , the same problem occurred. So what i did was download a another music app, i went and download the n7 music app. It played the songs but one problem came , which was all the songs had a copy and the copies of the would not play. So what i did was just mount the sd card into my computer and then delete all of the songs and then put them back in, but it still showed the copies off the song , even when i took out the sd card , it still happened.
Then i just boot into recovery and then wiped data/ factory rest, wipe cache and dalvik cache, formatted system, cache and datadata and reflashed my rom. But now the problem is none of the songs even show up on any of the music apps have. I can play the song from the file explorer browser but thats it , it won;t show up on the music player. I even cleared data on the media storage and rebooted and nothing!
Sorry for the long as post but i just wanted to be in full detail on what i did. So can someone please help me, i have no idea what i did wrong. So i hope someone can help me.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Hello,
I have a 32GB SD Card on which I'd like to store my Google Music cache. As this application does not allow us to choose where to store it, it use the internal memory, and as I want to have all my music on cache so I can use my S3 like an iPod, I'm stuck.
So I've google it, and the best solution to my eyes is to bind the cache directory from the internal memory to a directory on my SD Card : http://james-lloyd.com/move-play-music-cache-to-external-sd-galaxy-s3/ and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136192
The problem is I don't see any file on the cache directory /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.Music/cache ? And I can't find it anywhere in fact, as it is hidden or something.
I've tried to reset my Music cache, bind the directory anyway using DirectoryBind ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 ), but it does not work (putting in cache music stills using my internal storage as free space is low).
Anyone find a way to do this on the S3 ?
Thanks !

I got it working once, but after find out that the folder was moved somewhere else on the updated google music app. Its in /data/data/com.google.android.music/ or something like that. I remember having to try multiple spellings/uppercasing to get it right. I'll run the script in script manager until it no longer tells me folder not fond. I swear google sucks
This one has me stumped, today I transferred 5 songs to my phone's internal memory (I don't use a SD card) after that not one single song would play, I tried deleting the songs I transferred, that didn't work, tried deleting the whole music folder then copying 3 songs I had on my phone before back into my phone, I tried clearing data on app media storage, cleared cache, formatted internal storage, did a factory reset and I finally I re-flashed the Rom (padawan JB 2) after all that I transferred a single song and still won't play. it freezes for a few seconds then it gives me this cannot play track error.
The only weird thing about this is that I can use ES explorer browse to my music on my PC and it will just play fine on the regular music player.:silly:
Anyone heard of this or have this happened to them, I tried searching Google but I didn't have much luck, I tried searching here but it says that search is not working right now...
Running the newest version of beans since the day after it came out. Has been really stable. Until yesterday. The only thing I did yesterday was I downloaded a couple weather apps.
It's pretty easy to trigger. I can trigger it by going into my gmail app and it won't let me read anything because it closes Gmail. I have done it by going into the phone settings screen. It happens in the play store and I also can't download any apps.
I've tried clearing cache/data and force stopping both Media Storage and Download Manager. I have 2.78GB left on internal storage and 5.4 or so on external 16gb sdcard. On the internal the largest directories are Titanium Backup at 1.91GB, airdroid at 1.19 gb (its the beans rom file), Android at 0.98 GB, and DCIM at 145MB. On external the largest are DCIM at 5.00 GB (music folder at 4.7GB), TWRP at 4.36GB (a full system backup), and then Download at 33.03MB.
My first and probably smartest step is to full wipe, reflash, but I really wanted to avoid that. Just wondering if there are any other suggestions.

I tried a cache, delvik, factory reset, and system reset from recovery. Reinstalled alliance/beans, and right from the get go got an error saying "system uids inconsistent" when I booted for the first time, followed by a series of "such and such has stopped working" like gapps and the same error above. As a result I cant use the play store to download my apps either.
I rebooted into recovery and tried to fix the permissions which then failed with this at the end "E: Unable to chmod data/data/com.google.android"
Now im really not sure what to do
One more thing: I wondered if maybe it was my SD card so i unmounted that and removed it. That hasn't done anything.
Also, rebooting takes much longer than usual.
