I had a Galaxy S3 a week ago and used an SD card for my music. When I put the same SD card in my Optimus G the songs show up under the artist but when I try to play a certain song it shows thousands of other songs from different artist. The I thought something was corrupt so I copied the songs via drag and drop. When the same problem occurred I and tried to sync with Windows Media Player but it doesn't sync all the songs because of errors. I don't know how to get all my music organized properly and the S3 did it perfectly. Anyone having this problem or any ideas for help. This would be greatly appreciated since I'm new to android. I use to have an N9 so I'm use to drag and drop
Whoops meant to put it in Q&A

Hello Everyone
I have been having this problem for some time and T-Mobile can't assist me so i decided to come here for a try.
I have about 2000 songs on my 16gig card most are of mp3 format. Well i have noticed that when i update the library it doesn't full do so. It goes through and finds the files and then is goes to add the files and then after adding some the player just closes. And when i open it back up i notice that there are A LOT of files that were not added to the player but can easily be played when accessed them via File Explorer.
*I also tried updating the library about 4x to see if the added files were missed some how with no luck.
Its frustrating b/c i prefer to use WMP over the HTC player.
Does anyone have a clue why this happens?
anyone...?
how did you transfer the files to your card?
ive read that syncing through media player on your pc can cause problems and that its better to just drag n drop the media to your sd card...
i did indeed sync through wmp so i could easily get the artist>album>layout. so would it help if i copied the folders back to my pc and then dragged them back to the memory card?
I can't guarantee that it will solve your problem but it might be worth a try....
just out of interest, does the htc sense player find all the files ok?
i just checked and nope that player .seems to be missing more songs than wmp
hmmm typical sense I suppose.......
I would try the drag n drop or maybe even test with another player like nitrogen or something.......
after that Im out of ideas..... sorry
Drag and drop/copy and paste is you best option, delete all the music from your sd card first - it worked for my uk HD2
ok i will try now and update to let you guys know if it worked
OK so i deleted the files and reinstalloed them and unfortunately it didnt work
I even checked by using the HTC player and noticed that player misses songs also. And not all of the same songs.
Whats up with when you add new files to your SDcard it takes forever to index in your music player? As in hours or days... and sometimes they won't even show and I'll have to move my entire folder to and from computer or internal memory until they do show. It's done this with every memory card/firmware I've been on since getting this phone and it only does it to music.
what music player are you using? Or do they even show in the sd card?

How I put music on now is just through windows media center. I find the song and it syncs it. Works like a charm every time.
I tried just dragging and dropping movies onto my sd card but I could NEVER find them when I wanted to watch them. So I just stick with windows media player to sync all my stuff now...
Create a music folder on your sd card, move music to that folder, should show up with google music app. at least it does every time for me.
Yea got a music folder my_music (thats what a couple people said to do) and like I said the phone won't find it unless I keep moving it back and forth until it finally appears on the music player.
Happens with every music player.
Your phone should scan every time it boots do if u download a bunch of songs do a quick reboot and all the files should show.
Its just the way the x2 scans for music. We don't have the same type of media scanner other phones have. I am pretty sure the scan is being.done when u see the reparing sdcard " on top when u first boot.
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...
This is an old Android issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4314
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?
Hey guys
My S3, running Jellybam 6.3.0, works fine, but there is a little issue that I'm experiencing
and it's become pretty irksome.
I had 8gb of music on an iPod that I transferred to my PC, then to and SD card, which I now use for my GS3.
All of my past music appears in music players and play fine, but any new music that I download from the phone doesn't show up.
I thought maybe the music players weren't scanning for mp3 files in the download folder, so I decided to move them from the downloads folder
to my Music folder with all my other files.
Here's the problem:
The file manager doesn't seem to "see" for find any of the old music, despite all of the media players finding it no problem.
Also, any new music I download can be searched for an played in a music player, but it is never added to the library.
I decided to mount my phone to my PC do double check, and all of my music is there in the Music folder, which is on the root of my sd card.
Has anyone else had this issue

Did you try to wipe data and install everything again??
Might be a DRM issue?
