"Insert 20 Albums" randomly added crap, help? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

So I went into the developer Launch Tools and, while trying to make sure all my music and stuff was on here, pressed the "Insert 20 Albums" button after "Scan Media" (just curious as to what would happen) and now there are a few albums I've never heard of from random names on my phone that weren't there before. Anyone know how to fix this?

Have you checked your sd card for new or modified folders that might contain the music?? They should be there some were if I'm not mistaken, any kind of music,pics or videos are stored on your internal or external sd.

I just lost all my media?

I decided to backup my SD card today.
I moved all contents to Computer.
It saved okay.
Then idk what i did, but on my phone, nothing shows up.
nothing at all.
Already deleted everything and put the data from my computer.
Already rebooted more than 5 times.
I went on Root explorer, checked the SD Card and all my data is there, and when i go to music, the music even plays so its not corrupt.
I'm running MIUI, whats going on?
You say nothing shows up but then contradiction yourself and say that the music shows up and plays, so what isn't " showing up"?

Help with moving and downloading music to SD card! Not USB storage.

OK guys! Now don't hate me. I know this has probably been asked many times before. So don't hate me, just looking for help. I download a lot of my music from the app called " mp3 music downloader". My question is " all my songs are being put into my USB storage not my external SD card. I have a 32 gig SD card that I want all my music to download too. Well one is how do I move all my music files from my USB to SD storage? and 2 how do I set it up that whenever I download music it automatically goes on my external SD card? Thank you to anyone that is willing to help a newbie.

I believe in the USB settings you must select, "mass storage mode" when connected
When you plug your note into your computer- if you run windows autoplay should recognise 2 seperate forms of storage. Usueally drive," I: " is your external SD
You can open both and simply recognise the difference between the two and your computer will recognise the amount of storage on both there is. So it should be easy to identify your external SD
For your sake, if your transferring music or anything for that matter organize it on your computer into folders- although generally the note recognizes the entire card with or without orginization; I just prefer not to mix my music with my backups in the same place
If you have any further questions feel free to PM me!

Wait nvm there's an easier way. Go to the ssettings of the app and change the directory to your external SD
From your phone download an app called astro file manager
Fine where your music is, cut and paste it to your external SD
What I described above is for the transfer of files through a computer but you can use your phone! Ignore my first post

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I did want to know how to do this from the phone only. I also went into setting under my music app mp3 music downloaded. There is no selection. Probably a ****ty app. But works great. I will try astro file manager. But does this mean every time I download a song I will basically have to do a copy and paste deal?

No no! Well, I'm sure the music app supports different completed download directories. Otherwise that's gonna be your best bet but ill look into it!

Well I checked the music app I use. Under settings there's no selection for where the music fies are downloaded. It automatically puts it in usb storage. I'm going to have to try another music app. Thanks for the help. But I did move all the files to the external SD card. Using Astro file manager. I'd like using this music app because it has the american billboard chart I can just pick the songs rather than typing and thinking of the song or searching.

I use that app and Your right there's no way to change the file location. Once a month I just do a cut and paste to my SD card. Its the only solution I've found.

Weird 'doubles' issue on ICS ROMs

I have a weird issue. On first run all is fine. On a reboot, my gallery app and music app are showing doubles of all the files. BUT Google music does not. I took my SD card out and it shows singles but they are all blank. They are in a cache somewhere but i cant find where. I would like to delete them.
Anyone?

Find Media Storage under applications list and delete the data.
Thanks. That fixed it.

Gallery problem in CM10

Hey guys, I'm having issues with the gallery in epinter's CM10 rom. I've done some searching and it seems like other people's is working but everytime i open it up it shows no pictures. I've cleared its settings and cache but it still shows nothing. The only reason this bothers me is because it appears that Google+ won't instant upload pictures unless they show up in there. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using the 8-11 release but it gave me the same issues in the release before that. Also, I'm using internal storage with no sd card if that matters.

Just download quickpic.
I've been using quickpic for several months now, but Google+ uses the gallery app (from what i can tell) to share pictures and detect new pictures for instant upload.

I'm having same issue. Also no music. Tried moving files to external and back, format both cards. Nothing I've tried has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
MB860 Peace
I have this occasionally, but don't use G+ so it doesn't really bother me as quickpic always works. But to help with the question, I thought I read that when the Media Service is running, things like the Gallery, Maps, and a few other google apps (that use the service) might act like they're hanging, but it's because one of them is using the service. You could try force closing it, or let it finish on its own. Also, try clearing the cache on the media service/gallery/camera/maps. On occasion when the camera stops working on me if I kill the service it sometimes then starts working. This might not be the best option, but something to try.
im having the same problem... apollo dont recognize any music someone can help?
Well my camera has always been laggy on all 4.0+ roms even though some people say it works for them. Anyways, I tried clearing the data and reseting maps/gallery/camera but it still doesn't work. I'm wondering if the media service is actually just borked and I've been misinterpreting what other people have said.

Look for and delete a file named .nomedia from the base of which ever card you have these images or music on. I heard that this was something a ROM Manager update did.

I had the same issues with my pics and music. Looks like you've chosen reboot option from power off menu. For some reason after reboot pics and audio can't be recognized. Try to power off your atrix and trurn it on after few sec, this worked for me, hope will help you too.
Didn't work. Thanks anyway
MB860 Peace
Well I kinda figured out what's going on with the Gallery. It appears that a media scan won't show media already existing on the device. However, if you take a picture it will show the new pic in the gallery correctly. I've also verified that I have no .nomedia files.
I'm guessing that when a photo is taken it explicitly adds an entry to the media table, but there is a problem when a full scan is triggered which makes the gallery blank.

Poweramp music folders with 4.3 based ROMs

Ever since going to CM10.2 several months ago, whenever I try to specify music folders on my SD card (internal and external) in Poweramp I just get a never ending scan and the folders never show up (see screenshot). This also happens on any other AOSP 4.3/CM10.2 based ROMs. Anyone else out there using Poweramp have similar issues and did you find a fix? I tried the fixes suggested on the app developers site like reformatting the card or upgrading to a newer build but no dice. The autoscan will eventually find the folders so I can play music on my phone but it also incorporates ALL the folders and files on my phone that have any kind of media files which I don't want.
Edit: can't seem to upload the screenshot. Just a spinning circle in the dialog box. Sure your imagination will be sufficient.

Titanium your Power Amp settings and then wipe the app's data and cache. See if that helps

Done that. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled fresh from Play.
Thanks though.

Finally found a resolution. Had to reformat using Windows instead of formatting with the phone. I formatted using FAT32 since exFat didn't seem to work.
