Hi,
I've installed cm11 m10 on my Galaxy S2 i9100, with following instructions:
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100 (newbie, not allowed to create a correct link.
Everything works fine except for playing Music (mp3).
I have an external 64 GB SD Card initially formatted with fat32. I've uploaded mp3s there. I tried several players (Appollo, MixZing, Google Play Music) but none of them found music. On MixZing I was able to navigate to the files but when click on an mp3 file, only the spinning circle is showing but playing didn't start.
I googled and found advices that it may be related to the sd card being formatted fat32. So I tried two things. I formatted the SD Card with exfat and second I copied the mp3 files to the internal storage. That didn't change anything. Music files are shown in file manager but they do not play.
I also observe that on Setting/Storage the external SD Card is shown ut only shows the total amount of space used, no disitinction on e.g. media files, like in the internal storage
Is that a known problem or is that special to my setup ?
It's the first time I use cyanogenmod so I may also do newbie errors
Hi Stefan,
Or the music files are corrupt, probably wouldn't be it.
Or its a bug. I suggest to you to also have a look in the android development forum for other custom roms.
Also does audio works on cyanogenmod m10? So notifications sound etc?
First of all thanks for the quick reply.
It's always like that I searched the whole evening for a solution, almost immediately after posting this question. Things started working. The bad thing is I do not why it suddenly works
My setup is now:
Music is on externald SD Card formatted with exfat.
No Music on internal storage.
I triggered a rescan of the sd card using Rescan SD app.
Under Settings/Storage the sd card still only showing the overall usage.
But since Music and jpegs are working I'm ok with that.
Ahh okay, good that it's now working properly, else you could always find another custom rom in the android development forum that is more optimized and better for your phone.
Have fun :good:

Hey Guys ..
I am playing around with my G-Tablet and for some reason I am unable to access and play/stream the music that I put on my External MicroSD card.
The only way I could listen to them is if I copy them to the folder called "sdcard/music".
I am currently running VEGAn-TAB ROM BETA 5.1. I tried the regular music program as well as Winamp .. and neither let me play the music straight off the micro sd card.
PLEASE HELP!
thank you in advance!
Strange, I have a similar problem in that music copied from a Flash drive to the sdcard/music folder will not be recognized by the Music App.
GL wit a solution
Make sure you do a reboot with Vegan-Tab after loading music. It won't show up otherwise. Also, if you added the .nomedia file to protect the data, it seems to prevent the tablet from scanning the SD Card.
Ok .. Im confused .. This is what I did ..
1) Copied my music to "SDCARD/MUSIC" folder .. unit had no problem playing the music.
2) After it was still on the external sd card under "SDCARD2/MUSIC" I removed the music that was copied from original internal memory (see #1) folder and then rebooted and music player or winamp would not read my music!
Ok - so basically my unit doesn't recognize the music from the external sd card! please help !!!
HMMMM .. wait .. I just rebooted again and for some reason its working now !! I think my G-Tablet is Possessed .. No matter, Im returning it to Woot anyway because I have a pixel out .. They are sending my new one Wednesday .. Hopefully I don't have this issue with the new one!
Thanks for the help!
I found that if you unmount the SD and then re-mount it the music won't show up until the tablet is rebooted and then it shows up again. I'm also useing Vegan 5.1.1 and that's what I've found. I also noticed that after mounting the SD card that the settings for performing this change to unmount in progress AFTER I have selected mount the sd, very odd
Hey guys and gals, i just got my new i9300 unlocked phone running android 4.0.4. Loving it so far, upgrading from the i9100. The first problem i had however was the USB cable it came with, it seemed it was a bit faulty cause it kept disconnecting the phone, tried other cables and they all work fine so i tossed the original cable out and all is well in that regard, the only issue i have right now with the i9300 is transferring music files (over 5 gigs) from my windows 7 64bit laptop to the 16gig micro sd card on the phone. i have tried every method to copy my music over including removing the micro sd card and using the card reader on my laptop to copy the files and also rooting my phone just so i can install the easy ums app, but each and every time the card is mounted in the phone again, half of the songs end up in the LOST.DIR folder with some numbers as the file name and an unrecognized file type. I am in the process right now of trying to copy the music to the internal memory of the phone to see if this is the same issue thinking maybe the sd card is currupt somehow everytime it is mounted back to the phone. Does anyone else have any idea on this issue?
UPDATE: Just finished copying all the music to the Music folder on the internal memory on the i9300, all files are there, and they play fine, I am thinking the sd card is the problem, so i am going to try and buy a new sd card tomorrow to see if i have the same issue.

oh trust me, i have googled and searched this and other forums EXTENSIVELY before posting here, i havent seen anything exactly to what i am having, and the issues that are slightly similar to what i am having were solved when they formatted their sd cards to FAT32, which i have already done.
A standard problem with multiple posts from the first month of SGS3 on XDA .
Trust me i have actually read them even answered one today/yesterday .
That was to put the music on the internal card until you can find a solution .

k, well thought i'd post an update for anyone having the same issue, i got a new sd card, a class 4 kingston with 16gb (the one that came with the phone seemed to be a generic one) and copied the files over, the drag and drop way, and all seems to be well for now.
Same issue with music files disappearing
I have had the same problem. I cannot find a pattern or cause. I am on my second class 4 32 GB SD card formatted as Fat32. I have yet to find a reasonable explanation or solution to apply. The card can be read in the phone and from a computer. But some how some music files randomly end up in the Lost directory
The ext SD was a key reason for me switching to this phone. I may be back to my iPod for music listening
Thank you for any help
I am not sure if this has been posted before but I have a galaxy S4 running Cyanogenmod 10.1. I have a scan disk 64gb card and the folder selector in Poweramp is showing /storage/sdcard1 but it does not have a tree to select a specific folder on the card, so I put my music folder directly in the root of the sd card but Poweramp won't find my music. I have selected the sd card with a check mark and rescanned with no luck. I have rebooted as well with no luck. Apollo and other music apps work fine but I want to use Poweramp.
Poweramp worked fine before I installed the ROM.
If this is a bug please let us know so we can wait for a fix, or is there something we can do to get it going?
Thanks,
Steve
FIXED!
I figures it out. You can use a 64gb card but it must be formated to Fat32. You can google how to do this on your windows pc.
I purchased the P780 a few weeks ago. Although I'm happy with the phone there are a few glitches that I cannot seem to find a solution to.
1. Any images or audio files put on the external memory card are not shown in the super gallery photo viewer or google music player.
2. I have selected the external memory card as the default write disk. All the data (Whatsapp downloaded images, videos, etc, documents downloaded from the web browser) are stored on the memory card, but they cannot be seen on the photo viewers or music players etc. If I default the writing disk to the internal memory card, none of my apps installed on the external card are shown in the menu.
Is there any solution to this problem? If not, just tell me. I'll stop looking for the solution and get on with using it as is.
Thank you.
I never have problem with this, I am using 32 GB external micro SD and no problem. Are U talking about storage which has phone only or included SD card?
Add 2. It s normal when U change external to internal storage (or conversely) as default storage, that phone doesnt see the app which was instaled before changing storage, but when when draped as it was originally, it will return back.
U can try use another viewer for image or music from playstore, if U see all images or music, ... If U are using SD card, it must be formated fat32 (not NTFS) or ext2/3/....
And place when U download files U can set in the internet browser properties.
Which ROM on your lenovo are U using?
Thank you. I shall try re formatting it and also look for other viewers/players.
BEFORE RE-FORMATING DO BACKUP of all !
Of course.
Hi all.
I've run into a problem with KitKat (4.4) ROMs where it seems my external SD card is not being read by some apps. For example the Gallery will only display pictures from the internal storage and the same goes for Play Music. If I use, say ES file Explorer, it is able to read and modify the contents of my external SD card. This has only happened so far on the two KitKat ROMs I've flashed - SlimKat and SlimSaber. I was able to fix the Gallery problem by installing an app called 'Rescan SD Card!', but that was only a temporary solution as I was having more problems browsing through photos in the Gallery.
I'm wondering if any has run into the same problem as me, with some apps not being able to access external SD content. And if there is (hopefully) some kind of fix for this. I can't really seem to find an answer for this phone on the internet.
Thanks for reading.
