music players not detecting files - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Device : Infocus M2
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)

music players not finding music on external sd

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.

Shuttle Music Player fail! Please, help!

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.

Sony Music app unable to read songs in sd card

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

Link internal storage directory to SDCard directory?

Hi there,
I currently have an issue with my music being split into two folder directories. I'm using both internal storage and SDcard hence the reason why my music player is populating these two folder families separate.
Basically my question is, how can I link a single folder to the SDcard from the internal storage without actually moving the files over and populating the SDcard. This is so that Blackplayer (music player app) can populate all music as a single folder.
As advertised below my Xperia X is rooted with Magisk
