My Evo's unrooted. Google Play music was doing fine finding the music on my external SD card and playing it, but all of a sudden, last week, it can no longer find those songs. If I use a file explorer, I can still find the music. 3rd party players are able to find it (even the HTC music player), but google music can't. I've cleared data on the app, I've downloaded and used the Rescan Media app..nada.
Anyone else have this problem? or a solution?
Thanks!
Mine has trouble finding music until I restart the phone. Also, google music has its own folder on sdcard(1). Try putting the music in there and rescan media.

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 )
Maybe youre music Player was just rescaning for new Media, it can take a wile for me as i have tons of Files and twice as many folders

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...
No I havent tagged them

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

This is bizarre
what music player are you using, have you tried turn it off and on again, clear music players cache and then rescan for music?
using default HTC MUSIC APP

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..
Hello,
Not sure if this is a proper question for here. I used Google Music Manager to sync my iTunes music from my computer to my GS4. IT seemed to be working great (16,000+ songs) but recently I realized I'm missing some songs. I have several playlists and they are not fully synced. For example I have a playlist with 16 songs and only 10 songs are in the playlist on my GS4. To make things even more odd, if I log into Google play Music on the website, that same playlist shows only 9 songs?!?!
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I love the aspect of this app but not sure why it won't fully work. I have gone thru all settings and hit refresh on all devices with no luck.

I have been facing this problem ever since KitKat. I thought this might gets fixed after the Lollipop update, but its not. So, I'm here to ask you for help regarding this issue. If anyone has faced similar issue and know to fix this, please help.
Problem:
I have all my mp3 music files (~ 1500 files in ~300 folders) in external microSD card (in /sdcard/Music folder). Whenever I open the Walkman, it seems to (re)-load all song info, and during this operation, it seems, may be the song items in the playlists are getting cleared (just my view of thought, not sure how it works in background). So, after then I open a playlist, it is empty. And then I've to start adding files to that playlist all over again. :crying:
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Try using an other music player Everything is better than Sonys Walkman
My music info gets mixed up and I have a bunch of new playlists with names like 395940398jdo39494.

Hello guys, I copied 10 albums to Music folder of my Amazfit Pace, each album into separate folder. When playing, it plays songs randomly, like if all of them would be in one single folder. Is there possibility to select the folder which I would like to play?
Thanks a lot.
I answer to myself, I made a small search and I found that VLC is working on Amazfit. I installed and tried it, it solves my problem. I can play albums, playlists, folders...
how long does battery last playing via BT?
For me playing about one hour takes 10-15% of battery
Please show me how you did that??
Could you please make a tutorial om how you managed to install the VLC player?
Thanks!
