Try reboot to start media scanner.
Did you choose from walkman to display all your tracks?

Hi guys,
I dont know if already mentioned,i put some songs in my sd card(internal and external) I played few songs with sammy music player and then I deleted one cd (one folder).i opened again the music player and I still can see the deleted songs.If I try to play them it says "file does not exist".The only way to remove them is by deleting inside the music player or after rebooting phone.I initially deleted songs from root explorer.Whats going wrong?also tried the poweramp with same results.Is it the deleting or adding real time?
Same issue with video player.I played an avi file,deleted and its still in videos list.Any idea what am I doing wrong?

I've deleted an album with the stock file manager and there was no problem. Hope you can solve yours.

thank you.you are right.something goes wrong with root explorer

Im guessing that when you delete something with root explorer the phone wont re-scan the media but with the stock file manager it does. I dont know if theres an option in the setting to rescan media but I know that there are apps in the market that can be used to do that. I use Extented Controls and with it you can have a media scan button in a widget.
Someone said the default music player can't play music from SD card directly. Is that true? I am considering which model (32GB or 16GB) should I buy.

I just tested this. You can play pretty much anything off of the ext sd card that your heart desires, without transferring anything. What I do is use 'es file explorer'. Open that up, and change your default "home" directory to "/" (without quotes) via the settings. This is the root directory of the system. There will be a folder called 'sdcard2'. Which is your external sd. Now you can browse for any file, and play any file you want. Of course, this folder will not be accessible if you just open the music/video player; unless you use the file transfer app. But just use a file explorer. Its the same thing!

But using a file explorer will not let you play all the songs at once. You can only play each song one by one...

This is true. So, you'd have to use the file transfer app for that. We need root!!! And all of these tedious issues would go away. I need to start running some adb commands. Lol!

Thanks both of you. Is that a android 3.X problem? or the app just search the specific music folder on internal storage, so it can play music from other directory.
What happens if you have an .m3u playlist file together with your mp3 list in the card, and open that one with an m3u app, for example?

Actually its a Sony issue. All of the other tablets that I've had (gtab, xoom, transformer) did not suffer from this issue. I believe that Sony did this to prevent users from "expanding" their storage. Its lame, but after root it would be an easy fix!
EDIT: Im pretty sure that third-party apps don't suffer from locating the ext sd card via their interfaces. I think its just the built-in Sony apps? Definitely not an android 3.x issue.

Hi,
Just tried this on my sony tablet, m3u opening is tricky but there's another, simpler way:
Install Astro Player Nova, for example
Then navigate to /mnt/sdcard2 and just select all mp3 files and let 'em rip!

Ok, guys you can play music or videos from the SD card but using a third party app like for music I use PowerAmp and for video Video MX and it works flawlessly.
still no good news about playing music SD card using the default music player??
Even more simple
With the Poweramp player you can select in the settings wich folders you want to be in your library included the one from your ext sd card. So you can play every album you have on it, shuffle it, make playlists etc...

Sorry, didn't see this post. But that's the way to go!
My friend sent me few songs over bluetooth and then i heard them via Walkman app with no probs. But later when I moved them over to my Music folder using ES File manager the songs still appear in walkman but gives me a message saying "Cannot Play Track"
I think it is still trying to play the songs from the bluetooth directory. How can i clear the cache/data of the app so that it rescans the SDCard for music??
BTW i tried clearing the data from Settings and restarting the phone also dint help..
Download this app and use the 'Update media gallery' option

I have downloaded two three songs on my mobile through chrome, then through ES file explorer, i moved those songs to /sdcard/Music/ where rest of my mp3s are.. the problem is that these new songs are not shown in the Music app.. months ago, I had copied songs from my pc to my phone /sdcard/Music/ through ES file explorer.. and they showed up fine..
can anyone help me out with this?
my phone is rooted
ICS 4.0.4
CWM recovery
Seems like this isnt HTC or app related issue

Never lose interest in Android. Try clearing data and cache of the music app.
still.. lost a bit

yeah i tried it all, but clearing cache didnt work..
i read somewhere that I should fix the permissions through the recovery, but this caused another issue, there is an issue with CWM recovery, on fixing permissions it messes with the permissions of contacts pictures, hence the contact picture wont show up in messages.. so after trying fixing permissions, i got another issue at my disposal, although I did found a solution and fixed the contact picture issue.. but the Music library problem still remained..
I also read that there is a file .nomedia which causes this problem, but removing it didnt do any good either
meanwhile i found twrp released for desire x, and replaced CWM with twrp 2.5(official one, not Yasir's 2.4.3, i didnt know the difference so i just went with the latest one).. and then I fixed the permissions, and I also factory reset my phone.. which erased all of the data, then I copied things back and it all worked fine..
dont know if the factory reset fixed the issue or fixing the permission, as i went to sleep inbetween this whole mess to clear my mind (may be this made it work )

na man.. i thought its fixed as after going through what i have stated above, there appeared songs in the music library while i was actually copying songs, so i thought its fine now.. but today when i opened the music app, i found its showing almost half of the songs.. there are about 103 songs, its showing just something around 65..
i found one more thing, that when i open the Music folder in ES File Explorer, then some song icons contain there album art, and these are the only songs which are shown in music app.. there are 7 albums in the Music folder(means seven albums containing around 13 songs each) and 6 songs directly in Music folder.. in Music app, i get 5 albums, in one album there is only 7 songs shown in Music app while there are 14 or 15.. I opened this album on ES file explorer and found that there are only seven songs in that album with album art, this is when i found this.. this is pretty strange, can someone help me with this?
Perhaps unsupported Format, try Manually adding the Media if possible in your music Player (think you can in poweramp)

i can play all the media files in my phone through ES File explorer Media player, and also by Music app (if i navigate to the music file by my file manager and then play it, though by this method it plays as a popup, you cant multitask, its like a preview thing, plays as long as you dont move away from the popup).. but it just dont show up in Music App, because of which i cant listen to half of my music while doing some other work, alternative is to use ES Media Player, but why the hell does Android Native Music App is sucking so bad? if I am supposed to select best app for myself then why it wont let me delete system apps? (after deleting them they get back after restart)

Do you have tagged all the music correctly? It won't scan it sometimes if it isn't tagged properly...

By tagged music, he meant music with right set of id3 tags (in our case, at least name of song), to check if you have tagged music... is player showing name of song, author, album name, or it is "untitled track XYZ"? If it is untitled track, then tag it ffs (untagged music should be illegal), good tool to tag music quickly a precisely is program called musicbrainz picard, just download it somewhere. try manualy search tags in the files that are not showed up in music player...
Every single song is properly tagged

clearing data by going to app settings through app manager solved the issue, i think.. i did this then opened the music app, no songs in its library, then waited for a while just to make sure it isnt searching, and it didnt show any song.. then i opened ES File Explorer went to Music library and noticed that now more songs have album arts, infact noticed some songs getting updated by album art.. then went to music app again and thank god.. all songs are being displayed now..
I'm on a Stock sense ROM and I just added some new music to my phone, and I downloaded it from my phone. I used ES file Explorer to move the folder to my music folder (on my sd card), but my music player won't recognize the files. Any ideas?

Sometimes the phone can take a while scanning memory for media files. To speed this up, you can try opening an mp3 directly from ES File Explorer (tell it to open with your music app, of course), or you can try an app called "SDRescan." If those don't do it, my advice would be to delete the mp3s and re-sync them. I use Media Monkey, and as a heads up, I found that older versions of Media Monkey wouldn't sync everything properly, so I had to update to the newest version to remedy all problems.
