Hey guys,
I just downloaded a free music file and it does not show up in the beats or stock music player. I can play/view the file in es file explorer only. I have tried moving the file between my music folders with no luck. Renaming the file has not worked either. I'm at work so, downloading it from the computer and transferring the file right now is not possible. Any ideas?? TIA.

Im also having this problem, anybody find a fix. Seemed to happen after I transferred my files using HTC transfer tool. I like to use the stock apps that show up on the lock screen, Mort player works with the widgets on the home screen, but it doesnt work on the lock screen

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.

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.
I thought i give it a try. I downloaded something from Zippyshare and it said downloading.
Last time i tried, it went streaming instantly and i was not sure how to save it on the harddisk and i thought it was some limitation put by windows.
So now i downloaded and i could listen to the track , but here is the thing. I could only open it through the webbrowser. When i go to Nokia Music, there are no songs to be found.
Which brings me to one essenstial question..Where the heck is the file explorer? On the HD2 i had one and i could make maps and copy/paste or delete. Where can i find such thing? And how do i get my downloaded mp3 to work on the music player?
Thanks
anyone? i want to know where i can find my downloaded files through the phone and how to play my downloaded mp3 files on the music player .
There is no file browser and will never be. You cant download mp3s trough the browser, only just stream it.
My having troblem with my music not showing up, it only shows 4 songs out of 75. I tried using poweramp,playerpro, and the default music app but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
Using ur computer just create a music folder and dump all the songs in it and try it.. Because sometimes a called .nomedia ll be present if it s then music apps wont scan those folders!!
What kind of files do not show up? Are the flacs? I find that the only player that shows/plays all file types, including flac, is andless. You can find it in google play store.

Their songs(mp3) files
Hey guys, just thought I'd help even if this is a rather old thread:
I've had the same issue as x12CHRIS18x, this happened on both a rooted stock rom Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos, and a Galaxy S III stock unrooted. Both phones had the music files (mp3 and m4a) in the "Music" folder on the external SDcard.
Apparently, a reboot solved the issue on both devices, but I wouldn't want to do that everytime I copied music to my phone.
So I just went ahead and opened a File Manager app called ES File Explorer, Hit the menu button, tapped on Library, then Music, tap on Refresh icon on the bottom bar of the app, then hit "Notify System Refresh" it will take a few sec./minutes depending on the size of your Music Library.
I figured what this does is it forces an "indexing" on all media files found on your device, depending on what type of Library you selected, in this case, music.
Hope this helped someone who also had this issue.
I had this problem with my S2 as well; I connect my phone with usb debugging checked and copy paste all my music from the music folder on my PC to the music folder on my SD card.
I keep getting the error, " sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file"
Is there anyway to fix this or am I doing something wrong? The music is in mp3 format.
Can somebody please help me out? Thanks
Usb Debugging has nothing to do with normal file transfer.
What type of file extension are you trying to copy? Normal mp3 or some less common and/or proprietary format such as aac, flac, wma, ...

they are all MP3 format
Try copying your files to the phone throug Airdroid or another file transfer app.
Alternatively if you're rooted, you can use the Easy UMS app to mount your external sdcard on the computer.

I am rooted, where would I find the easy ums app? For now i will try using airdroid
So i copied and pasted my music to the sd card. Now when i try to play files, some work and some still give the same error message. Also when I click on a song, it automatically starts shuffling through the list but only stays on each song for a second. Im stumped!
I tried Isyncr and Isyncr wifi, both did not work. It shows that it has transferred 500 files but when I go to the music, theres only about 25 files there. The Isyncr process took about 25 minutes and it showed every song that was copied. But when i looked in the music and syncr folder, there were only about 25 songs, I dont understand why the rest were not copied????
It's to do with the media scanner not running. Download rescan media from market and run it and then give it a minute and try going back to music again and they should work. I don't know if there is a bug in the firmware but it's annoying.

Yes, I have exactly the same problems for a few of my mp3 files.
I maybe due to some permission issue with the files? Strangely, I can play
all the problematic mp3s directly from the file explorer but not from the player
or any other media players including winamp, real, BS Player etc.
Anyone got a solution for this?
Do the mp3 files have the same properties regarding bitrate...maybe it cannot play files with 320kbps or more or files vith VBR(varibile bit rate)

Well, no, they are all either 128k or 192k.
I also converted some flv files to mp3 with Real converter, the player also cannot play these converted mp3.
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.
