My wife has a Z2, but after the latest update, the music app doesn't recognize the music on the SD card, same goes for photos and the album app. Anybody knows a fix for this? It's not rooted.
does Google Play Music read the sd card? Have you tried reinserting the sd card?

I did once have an issue with the music. the music app said no search results when i searched for music, to fix this, i had to copy the music off the SD card then copy it back on so the system re indexed them. I could then search and the music app could find the songs

I don't know if anybody else has any issues with google music not recognizing music stored on their sd card, if their phone already has internal storage, but I have noticed on my HTC Amaze that google music will only recognize the music on the internal storage and not all of the songs I had on my micro sd. Is it possible to modify google music to read or find music from more than one location on your phone?
PS I have more music than what would fit on the the phones storage so moving songs from micro SD to the phones internal storage would not be an option.
Delete The google music app and then reinstall it from some other source ! Maybe there's some problem in the APK !

I talked to another amaze owner that had the same problem. The issue is that google music will only recognize music files that are saved directly on the root of the SD card. As soon as the files are moved into a folder within the SD card it stops recognizing that the music is there anymore.

what phone do you have? does it have internal storage and a sd card slot? I have it on my nexus one and it has no problem recognizing music on the phone at all. I think something about having more than one storage place makes google music get all weird.

Hi,
I need an help: I put SD card with Albums, Videos and Music on my ZU.
I can see albums and videos but I can't see music on Walkman or Google Play...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!
Restarting the device usually makes it rescan for media on internal and external sd, but if it doesn't, go to apps, Media app (I don't remember the right app as I don't have the device now), delete cache and after a few minutes you'll have all the music in your apps.
If this doesn't work try again with Walkman app and Google Music app, delete cache and open app.
If none of this work, maybe reformat the sd card...

I have all music on my SD card but if some files not showing up I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clypher.mediascanner
The phone does however rescan by it self most of the cases, It just need a few minutes to work
The phone should rescan by itself when you transfer files using an USB, but if you transfer wirelessly it won't do that. I transfered some songs with AirDroid yesterday, and I had to reboot so it would rescan. That's the unnecessary way of doing it, or you can trigger a rescan by installing an app that does this.

I've been on my S4 for about a month, and have encountered an annoying problem.
I have about 10 gb of music in a folder called Music on my external SD card. I can see and pltany song via my files, or ES file Explorer. But none of my music apps (Samsung Music Player, Winamp, or Google Play Music) can see any songs that are in the Music folder. They can see music in the download folder on the sd card, but not the folder that houses my music files.
I've tried changing the default location in My Files, but that had no effect. I've cleared defaults, and tried everything I can think of, but no luck.
Has anyone else encountered this? How can I get my apps to see my music folders?

Try popping out and polling in your SD card. That forces the gallery to search for new files. Never know, that might be the problem.

Check for files called .nomedia and delete if you find any. That's really all I can think of right now
Hi I've got a sony xperia z3v and I just recently started having the problem with my google play music app. I have all my songs saved from googles butt to my sd card and recently my app stopped finding the files of songs on my sd card, it just says that I have no songs saved on my sd card. If I unmount then remount my sd card the app finds all the songs but not the album art and if I close the app it goes back to saying that there is no music saved. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'd appreciate any help.
