Hey i have only just purchased my Galaxy10 tablet, i have put a few songs on it but it still says in the 'music player' that there are 0 songs. I am able to listen to these songs individually in 'my files' but i cannot open anything else up (e.g. i cant listen to music while working on polaris office).
Is there something im missing that will easily fix this? or is it a problem with all the galaxy tabs.
Thanks, Nic.
I mentioned thi in your other post, but make sure the music is placed in where the player looks for music. I had this issue with different players looking in different folders and not showing ones the other players would. There's another suggestion in the other post, but I forget what it was. something about clearing the cache in settings/apps/music player you're using. I think.

thanks for the reply, i have tried moving my files around, still no luck. I also read the other suggestion on my other post and i cleared the cache/data of the music player and still didnt make a difference. ill continue trying to fix it though, and hopefully will eventually get it .
Thanks Heaps for putting me that one step closer, Nic.
Post what music player you're using. That will help too.

im using the one that came with it, which is 'Music Player'. I also tried using 'Winamp' but still had no success, if you know of any better apps to use for this it would be greatly appreciated.
any one have any other suggestions on what i could do to fix this problem??
It would be helpful to know where the files are located and what format they are.
Also try moving your music to /sdcard/Music.
hey, umm all my music is in .mp3 format. and the music is in 'my files/music'.
would it make a difference if i used itunes to sync the music from my pc to the tablet? (at the moment i am using 'windows media player' which is up to date)
is your tab rooted? if so, try use root explorer, find the folder and make sure there is no .nomedia file in that folder.if so, delete it and try open music player back
Shouldn't matter, no. Move it to the folder I said and see what happens. Music player is probably looking for them to be in that folder.
ssss
hey, I had the same issue. the fix is simple, go to apps--> Music player and you'll find you music there. if you open the music player in the tray on the bottom of the tablet you wont find your music.
Recently i changed my ROM and since then all music apps, including stock, says i only have a few songs on whereas Astro File manager shows i have all my albums and i can only listen to them through there, not a normal music app. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks ;D
What Rom you on?if miui go to music folder in settings but if still you have nothing You can try this app available on Google play
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=media+scanner+
Im on FeraVolt v16 but the problem occurred when I tried v13 I think
il download the app and see what is says
Thanks
Anyone be able to shed some light on how I can get my music back?
What media players have you tried?
Even have you checked permissins to the music folders if there are readable and writable for all?
Iv tried stock music player, DoubleTwist, Meridian, AMP? maybe some others? and none of them could 'see' most of the songs. I know they are on the card in the music folder, would i maybe need to move them to a new one? The music apps can see 7 songs, but i have alot more on my card :/
Try MortPlayer - It is folder based (I love it, because play randomly by files,to albums etc...). Run it and select you music folder to scan it and see it it will be seen.
Il try that once my phone has charged fully, i ordered a new one after mine started to fail :/ should i delete battery stats after the charge to 100% do you think?
I think that it is not necessary if you wont observe some kind of strange reportings of battery level.
Thanks for the recommendation, MortPlayer seems to be working well. Just trying to gte the correct ablum arts now
You should be fine by rebooting the phone, if not then try wiping cache data and dalvik

Anytime
Use TCM musicTag Editor - simple and usable
Mortplayer uses the covers inside the music files or in their directory for eg. album art. Similar like dekstop players.
But still cant understand why other players cant recognize other music, as mentioned before, try reboot and even the wipe data of "Media provider".
Recently i have been experiencing that my memory card was not reading only my music mp3 files..... Can someone help me with this plz?
I think you need to elaborate a bit more as I'm not entirely sure what your situation is. Naturally your sdcard has different types of files on it and not just mp3s, mp4s etc. Where are you trying to view your music files?

I have some music players like Ubermusic, Minilyrics players in my phone, suddenly these days my memory card is not reading my existing .mp3 files, but if i download any mp3 from the internet, i can see the downloaded mp3s in the music players and it works too, its weird, i dont know what to say.. plz help me with this issue...
Have you tried deleting the files off your phone and restoring from known working files?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Maybe the music indexing service that runs on boot hasn't indexed those files? Since he's able to view new files, it would seem that it's indexing these new files, but for some reason isn't doing the same for the already existing files. My friend's HTC One X had a similar issue and I fixed it by going to Manage apps>All and clearing data of the app that contained the Android indexing service. I forgot what it was called though. If anyone knows the name you can tell him to try to clear it's data, reboot and leave his phone untouched for 5-7 minutes.
1-backup data and music
2-clear temp data
3-format memory in fat32
4-reapet copy music files in memory
5-restart phone
6-wait for find music with player
check and play your musics for any players...
This is an old Android issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4314
I have downloaded two three songs on my mobile through chrome, then through ES file explorer, i moved those songs to /sdcard/Music/ where rest of my mp3s are.. the problem is that these new songs are not shown in the Music app.. months ago, I had copied songs from my pc to my phone /sdcard/Music/ through ES file explorer.. and they showed up fine..
can anyone help me out with this?

ICS 4.0.4

Never lose interest in Android. Try clearing data and cache of the music app.
still.. lost a bit

yeah i tried it all, but clearing cache didnt work..
i read somewhere that I should fix the permissions through the recovery, but this caused another issue, there is an issue with CWM recovery, on fixing permissions it messes with the permissions of contacts pictures, hence the contact picture wont show up in messages.. so after trying fixing permissions, i got another issue at my disposal, although I did found a solution and fixed the contact picture issue.. but the Music library problem still remained..
I also read that there is a file .nomedia which causes this problem, but removing it didnt do any good either
meanwhile i found twrp released for desire x, and replaced CWM with twrp 2.5(official one, not Yasir's 2.4.3, i didnt know the difference so i just went with the latest one).. and then I fixed the permissions, and I also factory reset my phone.. which erased all of the data, then I copied things back and it all worked fine..
dont know if the factory reset fixed the issue or fixing the permission, as i went to sleep inbetween this whole mess to clear my mind (may be this made it work )

na man.. i thought its fixed as after going through what i have stated above, there appeared songs in the music library while i was actually copying songs, so i thought its fine now.. but today when i opened the music app, i found its showing almost half of the songs.. there are about 103 songs, its showing just something around 65..
i found one more thing, that when i open the Music folder in ES File Explorer, then some song icons contain there album art, and these are the only songs which are shown in music app.. there are 7 albums in the Music folder(means seven albums containing around 13 songs each) and 6 songs directly in Music folder.. in Music app, i get 5 albums, in one album there is only 7 songs shown in Music app while there are 14 or 15.. I opened this album on ES file explorer and found that there are only seven songs in that album with album art, this is when i found this.. this is pretty strange, can someone help me with this?
Perhaps unsupported Format, try Manually adding the Media if possible in your music Player (think you can in poweramp)

i can play all the media files in my phone through ES File explorer Media player, and also by Music app (if i navigate to the music file by my file manager and then play it, though by this method it plays as a popup, you cant multitask, its like a preview thing, plays as long as you dont move away from the popup).. but it just dont show up in Music App, because of which i cant listen to half of my music while doing some other work, alternative is to use ES Media Player, but why the hell does Android Native Music App is sucking so bad? if I am supposed to select best app for myself then why it wont let me delete system apps? (after deleting them they get back after restart)

Do you have tagged all the music correctly? It won't scan it sometimes if it isn't tagged properly...

By tagged music, he meant music with right set of id3 tags (in our case, at least name of song), to check if you have tagged music... is player showing name of song, author, album name, or it is "untitled track XYZ"? If it is untitled track, then tag it ffs (untagged music should be illegal), good tool to tag music quickly a precisely is program called musicbrainz picard, just download it somewhere. try manualy search tags in the files that are not showed up in music player...
Every single song is properly tagged

clearing data by going to app settings through app manager solved the issue, i think.. i did this then opened the music app, no songs in its library, then waited for a while just to make sure it isnt searching, and it didnt show any song.. then i opened ES File Explorer went to Music library and noticed that now more songs have album arts, infact noticed some songs getting updated by album art.. then went to music app again and thank god.. all songs are being displayed now..
As the title says, my huawei Honor 5x has been having some issues. My normal song app, Black Music Player shows up with duplicate songs. Figured it was a cache problem. Deleted cache. Still persisted. Unmounted and re mounted as card. Still. Downloaded music player by leopard v7, and scanning music, I can't find any songs. My music is directly on a folder called Music in root of SD Card.
In black player, music skips. Like if click on a song, it'll play the next (that isn't duplicated). But if I click the same song that is dupped, it plays the next next song. It's odd. One of the songs that isn't dupped, it has the album or song picture. Whereas the dupped one doesn't. The dupped one without picture, when I hit edit, it has no file path.
In music player, I've tried everything. I can't find any way to make it see my songs.
Please help! :/

it's most likely the sdcard / the honor 5x is pretty picky about sdcards and has issues with a lot of different ones
I had to switch from a SanDisk Ultra to a Samsung Evo to get it working correctly. I also have a PNY 128gb that the phone won't read at all but works fine in other phones / tablets and on the PC
Did you set it as an external storage? Or did you let the phone format the card to get it to work?
