Some songs that freeze in mid-song when I play them. Not all songs do this. But just a few specific ones. Could this be a problem with the songs orwith the SD card?

I don't think it's a problem with songs or sd card, plug it in your computer and if it plays right then there's no problem with either.
Have you tried using different media player on your mobile device? Perhaps you should check the store and download other media playback app.
Cheers

Yesterday I noticed that Google's new music app had been downloaded to my Amaze. However, none of the 13gb or so of songs from my SD card were showing up in the app. Refreshing the library didn't show anything either.
It turns out that Play Music won't find any music in /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd. As soon as I copied an album to /mnt/sdcard/Music from /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/Music it showed up in Play Music. Problem is, I don't have nearly enough space on my internal memory for my music. Anyone figure out how to get it to scan ext_sd?

Well it works for me. Why do u say it goes from mnt/sdcard when u can just skip going to the /mnt and go straight to /sdard folder? But to help with you problem, the new Google Play Music only allows 20000 songs to be uploaded to it. Maybe u have more then that.
But I'm guessing in ur case it's just stupid. Try making a folder called download in ur sdcard2 or extcard (same thing ) if there isn't one, and put all ur music in that folder. That's how mine is setup up by default and Google Play recognized my music from there. Reinstall if that don't work. Good luck!

I have been having the same issue with this. I kinda figured it out today. take the music out of your music folder and have it just be on the sd card. Yes i know its ugly and makes managing stuff more of a pain in the ass, but Play music will recognize your music.
I tried this with 15+ gigs of music and for some reason it will not recognize all my songs. I don't think I'll be using this method as a permanent fix, but let me know if you have more success with it.
Tried Chadworth66's suggestion and it did not work. improperburial's suggestion actually did work, but as he said it was very ugly. I don't know of a better fix, so I think I'll pass on Google Music for the time being.
Could it be that Play Music only goes but so many levels of subfolders deep? Any way, until Google fixes this I'll continue using the (HTC) Music app on the phone. Though I may go ahead and upload my music for backup purposes. I don't really want to pay T-mobile for the privilege of playing (ie, streaming) my own music.
I'm having this problem as well. It recognized my music for a while but when I plugged it into a computer (not mine, I don't have one) to transfer music to a friend, they all disappeared from my library. They're still on the SD card, but Play Music won't list them. They're not buried or anything, they're just in a folder on the SD card titled Music.
google music player is not listing the songs present in the sd card.
if i copy the file to sd card it shows. however, if connect the phone to computer and access sd card again the songs are no longer displayed in the google music player app(i think some scanning bug).
no problem with htc music player app.
any suggestion
wow thought it was just me with this issue

ya F google music and use poweramp also google music only plays music you buy from them ONLY as i found out then i said F google music
the app for some reason only recognizes music files stored in the root of the sd card and won't recognize them if they're in any folder.
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.
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.

My wife has a Z2, but after the latest update, the music app doesn't recognize the music on the SD card, same goes for photos and the album app. Anybody knows a fix for this? It's not rooted.
does Google Play Music read the sd card? Have you tried reinserting the sd card?

I did once have an issue with the music. the music app said no search results when i searched for music, to fix this, i had to copy the music off the SD card then copy it back on so the system re indexed them. I could then search and the music app could find the songs
