Welcome,
I have Shuttle Music Player app - a really nice music player for Android. But I have a problem with it.
Last month I created .nomedia file to make some folders disappeared in Gallery. But first localization of .nomedia was external SD card. After creating .nomedia there Shuttle didn't recognize any music file. This is normal, I know. But after deleting .nomedia Shuttle still not recognizing music files. Reinstall didn't help. Someone can tell me, why?
[EDIT] In stock music player is the same situation.

Try unmounting and mounting your SD card in Settings > Storage.
I had the same concern.
Removing and re-installing the external SD-CARD fixed the concern.

As has been mentioned before: unmounting and re-mounting the SD card should solve the problem, maybe a simple reboot of your device could be used also.
A short explanation why you have been facing this problem. As far as I know, Shuttle uses the Android media library, which is built up by the internal media scanner of your device. This media scanner runs at start-up of your device or when a storage is mounted, e.g. your SD card. When you place a .noMedia file in a folder to exclude it, the media scanner will ignore all files in this folder. When you delete the .noMedia file, you have to trigger the scanner to re-scan all files, so that the files from the formerly excluded folder ca be re-integrated into the media library and such being available again for music player apps or gallery apps.
Hi.
I'm trying to use this player, I organize mp3s in folders.
My problem is that mp3s are played only if they are in the root, internal or external sd.
if they are inside folders, they simply don't play.

I'm having problems with my tab searching and accessing media files stored on the external SD card. I can browse the files manually with iFileManager and they play just fine, but the stock Music and Video players as well as RealPlayer and WinAmp fail to recognize the SD Card.
Thoughts?
By the way, I did the .nomedia file on both /SDCARD and /SDCARD2
Some more info that I found by searching HARDER...
The .nomedia "bandaid" is the culprit. Adding a file or folder with this name essentially prevents the device from scanning the SD card.
I'll looking for more info and post as I learn...
As above. I'm running Rootbox JB (AOKP/CM) and using my default player power amp I can navigate to the folders on the external card where 95% of my music is held. However player pro or jet audio do not find this by default and I have been unable to manually navigate to the card. I've tried renaming the folder from Music to Songs to no avail. Any clues guys ?

have you checked to see if the music folder has a .nomedia file in it? use es file manager (or similar) and select show hidden files, if it's there delete it.
No there's no .nomedia file in the folder or sub-folders
I thought I'd sussed it. This is a new 32gb card that I had formatted in Cw recovery. When I put the card into the PC windows couldn't 'see' it. I found the file structure was RAW. so I transferred the files off. Reformatted as NTFS and transferred back. Now the computer can see everyrhing fine, but the problem is still there with the music apps.
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:

I have moved all my music folders inside the Music folder of internal storage. But whenever I search through any player, it only detects one sub folder out of all the music folders. And that one folder is in storage/emulated/0. Tried play music, rocket player, n7 player, etc
This issue didn't happen on my older phone (SGSA). It detected folders as is from the sdcard0. How do make other folders visible to the music app? Is this emulated sdcard feature changeable? I am on stock ROM. (4.4.4)
Hi,
The sony album app can read my pictures on the sd card just fine but the music app seemed to not be able to. It was able to last week. Might it be because of the sep 4 update that I installed? I tried to:
reinstall the app
delete the app cache
delete all cache
check for .nomedia files inside the Music folder (I have my music placed in a 'Music' folder in the top location of the sd card)
remount sd card
anyone else having this problem or most probably it is just me?
Ok, the solution
i copied my whole Music folder from the SD card and pasted it in my computer.
delete the music folder
clear the music app cache and restart the phone
create the music folder again in the sd card
copied each sub folder in my music file back
