I have just yesterday purchased the Droid Razr 16GB on Verizon. I previously had an old samsung caliber with a 16GB micro SD. I wanted to use it for my music in my Razr so I installed the card and it claimed the SD was damaged. I then formatted the card with the phone and the error seemed to be resolved. I took out the card and copied music from my PC. When attempting to view the music in the stock player only a dozen artists showed out of about thirty. I have performed several routine actions to try to fix this including:
-Full FAT32 format in PC (not quick)
-Clearing Google Play Music App's data
-Clearing Media Storage data
-Powering off phone, removing/ reinstalling SD card, restarting phone
-Installing winamp, verizon's My Music app. (this always resulted in each app displaying the same dozen tracks the other apps)
-Unmount/ remount SD
-Change file types (though this seems to be unbiased. Mp3's or m4a's have both failed to play independently)
Some important info:
...The music in question was copied off of my stock, rooted wifi -only Xoom running 4.0.3 so it shouldn't be a problem. I also added music off of my external HDD which has not shown up.
...Each time the phone re-scanned the external SD for music only a dozen or so artists would show HOWEVER it was always different artists. (Ex. first scan: AWOL, Baroness, Led Zeppelin, etc. second scan: Cold War Kids, Kid Cudi, Passenger, etc.)
...Occasionally after unmounting the SD or rebooting the phone it would claim it was damaged again. A reboot would fix this.
...The Razr is a stock, non-rooted, fresh out of the box 2.3.6 Android phone.
I have run out of ideas short of cutting down the music and putting it on the internal. My only thought is that the SD card may be bad but it was working fine yesterday before I got the Razr. Any help would be appreciated.
New Symptom: It seems that the player is throwing the music into the LOST.DIR file on the SD card, so it reads them as corrupt and trashes them. Will investigate further.
SOLVED! Looks like there were two issues. The SD card had a bad sector which I fixed with the basic windows scanner. This fixed the songs moving to the LOST Directory. Also even though the tagging info was correct in windows, it wasn't correct on the razr. To fix this, I got the iTag app from the Play Store. It showed all unknown pieces of tagging info and allowed me to edit them. Now all music is on the SD card and there are no unknown artists!
You've tried Poweramp? With this you can manage your music by Folders. The Stock player uses the MP3 Tags. I have an huge DnB Collection, but not every Record has an Tag. So Stock Player doesn't order them right.

I use Mp3tag to tag al my music folders
included with folder icons! love it!
The songs are all tagged. I'm a meticulous librarian when it comes to my music.
Update: Woke up this morning and had to reboot the phone due to a common sound issue. I then checked the music player and all of the artists where there! So I connected the phone via usb to my computer and, wouldn't you know it? Damaged SD card again (again fixed by reboot). It seems to me that this may be a separate issue.
Possible solutions? Bad SD card? Maybe it just takes a long time to scan the card? I'm going to buy a new card today. I'll let you know the results. In the mean time, music is going on the internal SD. We'll see if that works
I just realized that my music player is not picking up on the music files I have on my external SD. I have them under the folder "Music" on the SD card's root. I copied songs over to the phone's internal memory - aka internal SD's "Music" folder, and the stock music player was able to see them. I'd like to keep the music on the SD card - is this not possible?
It is totally possible... I use WinAmp (primarily) and have about 500 sings on my SD Card in the Music folder and no music at all on the internal storage, it works fine, the stock player and Google Music see them as well.
Try going into Settings-Apps-<player your using> and Force Stop, then Clear Data, then launch the player again... remember if you have a lot of music it might take the app a while to load and index everything.

Well that's good to hear. But I just tried it and no luck. It's not even indexing or searching. I am using the default music player and it starts up like there's an empty card. I am actually now on newtoroot's one XxX rom, and the default player is doing the same as stock Google music also behaves the same.
I've tried unmount/remounting the sd card, no luck.
Not sure if this matters, but this SD card is a carryover from my Thunderbolt. So it has a lot of apk backups and other crap. Also, I noticed that I actually lost my video file collection on the SD card somewhere along the process. I am not exactly sure, but I think it's when I first moved it to the Rezound, because now that I think about it, I don't ever recall seeing the couple episodes of Futurama I keep on my SD card.
The original folder structure was on SD/media/video and SD/media/music. The video folder is now empty. I've since moved the music folder to the SD's root. There are no .nomedia files in the folders.
Hmmm... interesting, I didn't think the Rezound was that picky, is the music directory in the root of the sd card properly capitalized as "Music"? that is how it is on mine, and the files in it are just ordinary MP3 files...
How many MP3's do you have in there... I have around 500 and when I open Music after changing anything (even just adding one file) the little revolving circle in the My Library bar sits there for a solid 3-4 minutes before anything shows up. WinAmp takes just as long initially, but if you add or delete a file it sees the change in seconds.
I just tried adding a file to the /media/music directory on my SD Card and it showed up fine, but the stock Music player also took another 3-4 minutes to re-index everything before the list populated at all. WinAmp had it in the list before I could scroll down to that artist.
Are you sure the SD card is mounting correctly? Go to Settings -> Storage and scroll down to SD Card and make sure it shows "Unmount SD card" and it is not grayed out and it shows used and available space on the card.
FWIW, on this phone, I am on the stock 3.14.605.12 OTA ROM.
Yep it is. And I have only about 500MB worth of mp3s, so not that many. The thing is, the music player isn't even trying to search for it I read another post on droid forum with similar problem last night (lost the link). I think that poster mentioned maybe too many stray apk backups is causing the search to choke. The SD card is definitely mounted correctly - I just unmounted and remounted again to make sure.
Yep I was on that same stock OTA before this one XxX rom. Same result.
I am going to swap out sd card with the stock rezound 16gb, which should be completely fresh except for a nandroid backup.

Hmmm... could be the issue with too much other "junk" on the card I guess, mine is fairly clean, 50 or so camera shots, a handful of backups and some some other stuff, less than 500MB in total besides the music.
Seems odd that the Music app isn't even trying though, have you tried another player like PowerAmp or WinAmp? WinAmp Pro with the Album Washer plug-in is the BOMB, sync music over WiFi to the phone if you have WinAmp on your PC too, pretty sweet.
Yep it's working now. That must have been it - the thunderbolt SD card was too cluttered. I suppose I'll just have to go in and clean it up a bit. Sheesh Rezound, what's next, gonna make me clean my apartment too?
Hello everyone,
I have a bit of a problem with my Tablet, which is a Utok 1010Q (chinese tablet but branded by some romanian company). I have in it an SDHC card 32 gigs (class 10) and weirdly, it corrupts it when I plug my headphones in the tablet and try to listen either music or play a video on it, it just starts playing for a few seconds then it stops, and not only for videos or music, even when i try moving files from SD card to internal memory the card corrupts(the internal memory works perfect with the headphones plugged in). I tried this with different sd cards but the problem persists. The weird part is, when i unplug the headphones and try to play a video or listen to music, it works just fine!
Im in need of help on this matter, cause i dont know if it's a software problem or a hardware problem. (I play videos using MX player and music with the google app something).
Btw, i have no warranty for it because I won it and they dont give warranty for won items.
Thanks guys.
Things you should know:
Rooted S4 running 4.4.2 (stock kernal)
So first off I torrent a lot so may be the songs, but affected songs from different source all have the same weird noise....
Second I bought a 130 GB SD card off eBay for $20
Third about a month ago before this I started noticing this problem, I corrupted my SD by unmount in it because I was having app installation issues. [Fixed that problem] and I plugged the SD card into my laptop and ran a Windows program through cmd that wiped the drive and fixed it. And I whent ahead and formatted it once I put it back in my S4.
May be a dead giveaway but occasionally Camera pics saved to my SD card, a grey bar starting from the bottom covers up the image and then after a while says corrupt. But only occasionally not on all pictures...
Finally it's rooted and I wanted to be able to edit my music on the SD card, so I ran NextApp SD Fix.
Background:
Once the drive wiped, I lost all my music. So I took to tormenting to get my music back... Though I did not have an SD card reader on my laptop and for some reason have trouble connecting my phone to it I had to transfer my songs on a thumb drive. First batch, I already had the SD card out so I transferred about 3GB worth of music on that directly. Next I transfered directly to the SD through my phone (USB to transfer from computers).
Question:
Songs from both batches where experiencing weird sounds *hard to explain* permanently in the song on my phone, but not original computer. Is this due to my SD card being faulty, an issue transferring, or the fact that I used SDFix?
I have a problem on my phone. After a few days i see the prblm. The sd card not show all music songs, and a few foldersin a music player stock app, but on the file manager shows. And the gallery not show any picture. In gallery shows no image but when i capture in sd card from camera shows. I try different music player the problem still. In sd card reader on PC shows folders all musics ant photo. In a music player shows just one folder !! And the songs not full, in the pc foldershows that folder with 6700 songs but my phone shows jist 5678 songs, wtf???? I try restart phone, factory reset, nothing!!!!! When i connect phone via usb, it showa on display pc screem All folders in a sd card, but the phone didnt shows.... sorry for bad en.

Try the free app media.Re.Scan: media scanner and force a scan of your external memory card or your entire phone internal media + card. Many other similar apps in Play Store. (attachment)
What is your OS (ROM)?
And please report back to say if it fixed your problem or not.

Edit: I just looked at your posting history & you ask questions about many different models. S2, S3, s4, Note 2, 3, 4, Xperia Z2, etc. All I can say is: good luck & Google is your friend.
