When I first bought this phone, had mp3 music files on a 64gb card that I installed to listen to while I did my daily walks. It seems that now, none of my music will play on my device. I'm not rooted, purely stock with the KitKat update. I've tried both internal and external storage, reformatted the cards and reloaded the files, but the very few that manage to play at all are very choppy and skip very badly. Am I doing something wrong? Never had this type of problem with my previous android phones. It's it because of the KitKat update? What can I do to install and play my music? Thank you guys so much for any help that you can give!

Well I don't have a fix I'm not on kit Kat myself but I do know a lot of people have had issues with kit Kat recognizing their SD card so I would search this area and the general thread on SD card fix.

Can anyone tell me how to set the stock music player to play music stored on the external sd card? I searched the forum and could not find an answer. I downloaded songs to mu sd card, but the music player does not list them. Thanks for any help

How long has it been since you downloaded the songs to the sd card? If it was recently and you had a lot of songs it might take a while for it to populate the information. I just put the music on my external and it found it just fine but I only had about 1 GB of music

Yea, what he said. I was having the same problem but it was with 21GB of music and eventually it all got caught up.
Thanks for the answers.

I think that is for when you are using the Motorola software, but some people like myself prefer to just manually move files over
I'm running stock, rooted, faux clock 0.0.6. I've downloaded Google music and after a few hours, it seems to not be able to find my music on my memory card. Any clues? Works fine at first and then when I try to open it later, NO MUSIC.
(I was having this issue on complete stock too.)

I'm having a similar issue with google music. It only recognizes the music on my sd card if i uninstall and then reinstall google music. It stops recognizing it the music on my sd card as soon as i restart my phone.
That's my exact problem. Any fixes.... Anyone?

Hi,
I have a rooted official ics neo V with locked bootloader, I've noticed recently that its not saving ringtone message tone or notification tones, and ever time I try to access the music player it tells me I have no music in library, I have a 16gb class 10 filled with 8gb of music, I can still browse the music folders with a file explorer...
Any ideas what could be wrong.

Try the Xperia S music player app.
Check this:

Install SemcMusic.apk and MusicWidget.apk (you can install other apps too, all work fine)

@aqshyt Thanks for replying, i did what you said and no joy, same problem, I wanted to avoid it but I'm just going to do a complete fresh reinstall, plus format of the SD card, thank god all my contacts are sync'ed with Gmail.
You can also back up your contacts on the memory card, save it to your computer, then put it back again after formatting your memory card to import then.

I've done a full fresh install, contacts sorted, I'll use it today and see if it keeps my tones and music library, fingers crossed, it might just be placebo but my phone seems faster.

So it seems that the neo v can't handle 8gb of music, phone works fine until I transfer 8gb of music to it then is loses tone settings and drops the library, I moved my tones into the system/media/ folder and that solved the losing ring tones problem, but it still drops the music library, I think I'll have to cut my music down to 6 or 4gb of music, which is gonna be tough because I really like my music it was hard enough choosing 8gb worth.

After putting 2gb of music on my phone it works fine no clearing of ringtones or dropping of music library, I still don't know if its the phone or memory card that was the problem, my last phone was the X10 Mini Pro and I had 8gb of music on it and it worked fine, so I think its the phone, anyway its sorted now.

Did it happen right after you installed some mp3's?
I downloaded a faulty mp3 before and it caused my music player to act weird. You can try not moving the most recent songs you had to start eliminating it. I dont have that much songs on my phone but I do have more than 16gb of media on it and im not having any problems.
Sent from my MT11i using Tapatalk
I was using the same tracks that I had on my x10 mini pro, so I 'think' the tracks are fine, unless maybe there was a corruption when transferring.

Hi
I have my music loaded onto a 64GB card in exFAT format.
The music player picks up all my tunes fine but Music Square, no matter what I do, just says playlist empty...
Any idea what's going wrong?
Thanks

hey guys,
I realized it's only works if you store your songs in phone instead of memory card.
Please share the solution if you found it...
Thanks!!
Really? That's pretty dumb. All my music *has* to go on the SD card. -Thanks
My Music Square works well. I store my music in my 32 GB micro SD.
Go to Music Square and then press Setting the select Library Update. That's all.
You need at least 25 songs for Music Square to work.
Hey Jackie,
I have more than 25 songs and I'm using a 32 GB card too..
updated library for N times... nothing happened...
I wonder why this is happening. I have too many songs to store on the phone storage.
It's a shame it's not working
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
i have about 60 songs on SD and don't works...

Hi Guys,
for my case it was working when I stored my songs in phone.. after I move my songs to memory card, I have no problem playing the songs but the music square no longer working...

Surely it can't be as simple as not working if on sd and if so Samsung are rubbish!

My music is saved on the sd card. I put it into /mnt/extSdCard/media and Music Square works without problems.

Tried changing the folder name to media but no joy.
What version ID3 tags do yours have?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Just just picked the first song that was played in Music Sqaure. According to foobar, the file has id3v2.3|id3v1 tags.
renaming the folder did not help..
I reformat the card and resync and it finally working again.
Did you reformat it in the S3?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
not sure do you mean the initial reformat.
but I did all the reformat in S3.. now it's working and adding more songs..
hopefully it will not stop working again..
Great!
Yes that's what I meant. Mine is exFAT as standard. I don't see why though if it can see my music it can't see anything else?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Just for confirmation, which file format shall we use in order to get it to work?
exFat?

Not sure it matters as someone else had issues with a 32gb card and I doubt that was exFAT

Is there a way to transfer all my music from my itunes to the galaxy s3? iSyncr seems nice but gotta pay for it. If there isn't any other free way than I'll try iSyncr but for now looking for a free hassle way of transferring.

You can put all your itunes library into the Cloud with Google Music.

I'm pretty sure you can use Kies to transfer the files from your iTunes library
Kies worked fine for me..

I've used both doubletwist airsync (since galaxy s3 can't get into mass storage mode) and tunesync but failed to load my songs as both of them literally took nearly half an hour just to transfer 4 or 5 songs...
I've tried kies as well which worked fine but lost all id-tags (titles, artist, composer, and album art) and wasn't worth spending hours manually changing the tags out of the 10,000+ songs i have..
Any other methods exist lol?
Thanks for the help and feedback guys
Use an external SD card?

This is correct. I did it on mine. I never lost my tags.

Kies wouldn't let me connect same with double twist so I had an external micro sd card to just and used a usb adapter transfer my music and was all good works for anything to transfer to your phone and would recommend buying one as there is an extra slot not being used.

I used double twist and just put the SD card in my computer, not in the phone and it copied it over pretty quick, Id say 20-30min tops for about 9gig.(not sure I just started it and walked away) Then just put the SD in the phone, all good

I recommend DoubleTwist too, this is the app I tell iPhone users that I am able to convice to try Android based phones and none of them have had any problems using it... The kicker is, I've never used it myself! HAHA
