Hello,
on my Prime (4.1) I have an external micro SD-Card inserted. Now I copied some new and old mp3 files on this disc... and none of them are being seen by neither Google Music, Amazon MP3 nor n7 music player. The old files are displayed and played without problems.
On ef explorer, I can see, the files are there.
Before the 4.1 update, the new files are not being discovered by the music player after a reboot. Now, a reboot is of no help at all.
Thank you for hints.
Greetings

It may be related to the Media Storage application that data is messy. I did go to setting - App - All - locate Media storage - force close - clear data. You can reboot afterward then plug sdcard to see a new file. It works in my case.

I need help and this has been driving me nuts for the past hour of two. I placed 2 new music albums to my internal SD card (/storage/sdcard0/Music) and for some reason my music player cannot detect them. What I did is I checked the entire Music folder for any .nomedia but there is none. I downloaded a SD scan app and still the same.
The last resort i did is i deleted everything from my music folder and transferred everything again from PC to the S3. Now after doing that, the new albums appeared BUT one of the older albums is not showing! I checked the folder via Root Explorer and MyFiles and the album and songs are in my internal SD card. Like I said in my first statement, these albums/songs are located in just one folder.
Same result if I use the stock music app or a third party app like N7.
I am now frustrated and lost
I am currently using LI8.
Try clearing data in "MediaScanner" in the applications manager, and then rebooting. Give it a little while as it can take a few minutes to scan the entire phone.

Try putting the music somewhere else on your SD, before deleting caches and data... If that doesn't work, you can always just delete the cache of your music player, that usually works, but try not to delete the Media Scanner's Cache, that means it will take longer to boot and get to the launcher...
If you want, you could also just download Google Play Music, it's better than Samsung's Music player (Because Music Player leaves a second out of the music..) and Play Music is much smoother than Sammy's..
Try one of those and if it still doesn't work, do the Media Scanner Cache.
Anyways, hope I could help you!
You can also decrease the scanning times by using the SD watcher mod here:

I have same problem with stock mp3 player, it can't play mp3 from my external sdcard.
Rescan your files by starting media scanner again.

Above fails TRY MP3 in Media folder Video in Video folder on EXT SD card .

It didn't help for me, in fact on the same album some tracks are recognized as mp3 and some not... perhaps file corruption I'll dig in.

Same issue
Seems I'm having the exact same issue on XXDLJ4.
But for me it doesn't even matter where i put them, I've got a folder with ~520 songs and stock player only shows ~300.
I tried alot of things:
- Placing media on internal/external storage.
- Clearing Media Storage cache
- Reuploading the entire folder from my pc
- RescanMedia root (disabled mediascanner)
- Dividing the music into smaller bits/folders
- Wiping and reflashing multiple times
- Cm10 nigtly has the same issue for me
So far nothing has worked.. The only workaround so far is using 3rd party apps..
Wipe EXT SD card format via phone .
Make folders copy one file to folder if it is now seen copy the rest .

Just tried it out (forgot to mention I already tried reformatting).
But still no consistent pickup from the mediascanner.
Tried the copy-back with a folder with 33 mp3's first, only 4 showed (Both on Sammy and CM10).
Then tried it with a folder with 41 pictures, only 12 showed on Sammy and ~20 on CM10.
Any more suggestions?

Sorry, didnt have time to read the whole thread, have you tried creating a folder on the route of the SD card called "MUSIC", that usally works.
Also check there isnt a file called "nomedia" in the route of the SD too.
plus - after you reformat just put the MUSIC on first before you copy everything else back, let it scan and then copy your other Folders back, this can also help.
any updates from the OP?
Yeah I did both.
Reformatting didn't solve anything. Same songs showed as before after recopy.
But while playing around with another rom (CM) i discovered something..
Seems that half my music is faulty mp3 files. Searched about the issue with Tubemate, and seems as it's common issue with some players. (Change in Sammy music app in JB maybe?)
It doenst convert to mp3 but saves the audio part to mp3. Must have been a bug in an older Tubemate version. Cause when i redownload the faulty song with the latest version it immediatly shows in the Sammy Music app.
When i try playing them on CM the faulty mp3's just stay at 0:00. So i went and tried a few mp3 checkers, afraid they report the same nr of correct/uncorrect as my Sammy music app shows.

To follow up, i recently switched to a s4 and the problem persist (inserted old sdcard).
Must be the faulty mp3 story.

Did you ever test the card with h2testw.exe on a windows pc?

Anyone experience this issue or have a solution?
After adding music files (via usb) i can see the files on the device, but the stock music player & 'PlayerPro' don't see them (or Google play). If i navigate to the music folder and click on one of the files they play (with generic artwork), but will not show up in the music library in the player. I tried a couple of 'media scan' apps from the market (trying to force a internal sd re-scan) still no luck. Conversely apps such as FBreader have no issues with finding ebooks added via usb at all. Seems crazy to include a music player and not be able to add music!
The files are on the internal sd card (i have no external installed as of yet).
I have android v 4.0.4 rooted.
Any suggestions?

Download rescan media root from play store that should fix your problems

Hi,
I need an help: I put SD card with Albums, Videos and Music on my ZU.
I can see albums and videos but I can't see music on Walkman or Google Play...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!
Restarting the device usually makes it rescan for media on internal and external sd, but if it doesn't, go to apps, Media app (I don't remember the right app as I don't have the device now), delete cache and after a few minutes you'll have all the music in your apps.
If this doesn't work try again with Walkman app and Google Music app, delete cache and open app.
If none of this work, maybe reformat the sd card...
Tapatalked from my mother in law's horribly small, painfully slow, still at ICS LG 2X...
I have all music on my SD card but if some files not showing up I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clypher.mediascanner
The phone does however rescan by it self most of the cases, It just need a few minutes to work
The phone should rescan by itself when you transfer files using an USB, but if you transfer wirelessly it won't do that. I transfered some songs with AirDroid yesterday, and I had to reboot so it would rescan. That's the unnecessary way of doing it, or you can trigger a rescan by installing an app that does this.

I've transferred some video files to the SD card on the Z Ultra (using Sony Bridge for Mac) but the Z Ultra's Movie app does not recognize these files at all. I've tried to clear the data of Media Storage (in Apps -> All) and restart the phone to force a rescan of the media files but that doesn't seem to be able to resolve the problem. Also, strangely the phone DOES recognize video files stored in the Internal Phone Storage. It also DOES recognize music files stored on my SD card - so the only problem is with video files. Appreciate if you have a fix to this problem!

Thanks for your reply. I figured out a fix already. Just create a new folder called "Video 2" or something. Then, use the phone's File Commander app, move all those videos in the existing folder to the new "Video 2" folder. Then those videos will load in the Movies app.
