Hello,
I recently bought a Cayin N5ii portable DAP (Digital Audio Player).
It runs on android KitKat 5.1.1
It has 32GB of internal memory and supports 2 SD cards upto 256GB each.
It also supports Tidal streaming.
The problem is that tidal does not save its offlined songs on the SD card. Only internal memory (25GB). In the tidal settings menu, under Storage, it does shows only Internal memory. No option to select the SD Card. For now this is fine, but really soon internal space is going to run out.
I searched for days to find a way to fix this problem, but in vain. Some say it is an android issue while others say it is a tidal issue. No clear answers anywhere.
Then I read somewhere that there is a thing called an adoptable SD card (I am new to android). If this thing can sort things out, I'm up for it.
Also, It doesn't matter what method is used (rooting, adoptable card, jailbreaking, etc, etc), my end goal is I want to save tidal offline songs on the SD card.
Can anyone familiar with this device & process help me out please?
Thanks, Adil.
Hi Adil,
it is a TIDAL bug. I have the same issue with Qobuz too, and I finally find the answer on "Head Fi" forum a few minutes ago. For the moment only Spotify is able to change the path from the internal storage to the SD cards slots. So, wait and see ... Regards from France, Eric (Cayin N5 MKII)

This is the second time this has happened. The Sprint Music app appears to be damaged. It doesn't recognize much of the music that is on my card. Is there any way to fix it without a hard reset? (not sure why I care! I mostly use Kinoma).
yeah sprint music sucks....my songs only plays the first 30-40 sec and then it will stop if i got 4gb or more...i just removed it from tf3d and i use s2p
I think I fixed it. For some unknown reason, my TP had a folder named Storage Card and was calling my card Storage Card2. There wasn't anything in the Storage Card folder so I deleted it and reanamed Storage Card 2 to Storage Card. Now it finds the music. I guess it only looks in a folder called Storage Card and ignored Storage Card2. Unfortunately you can't tell Sprint Music where the music files are. They should fix that. At any rate, I don't use it much, anyway. I just wanted it work right. Now if we could get the GPS right, the battery life better, etc., etc.
Coming from a gNex with 32gb to a 16gb RAZR(which apparently means 8gb) I;m already out of space on my internal card according to storage i only have 500mb free. I;m rooted and running Gummy ROM.
Is there anyway to reclaim the 8gb that Motorola decided I should access or possibly move the GoogleMusic cache location to my 8gb External SDcard installed?
/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music
Delete everything in that folder and your problem is solved. Unfortunately there's no way to convince it to use an alternate location.
I actually want the music to stay there, I use Google Music as my primary music source and dont want to always eat up data for the music I listen to most. I was just hoping I could convince it to store the music on my SD.
You might try just moving the files to a visible location on sdcard-ext- they're not so much cached as downloaded outright in MP3 format so your player should see them. The downside is you'd have duplicates of all those tracks, and I'm not sure if it keeps ID3 information intact.
yeah, I just decided to lower the amount of music I have set to offline and reclaimed 1gb of space back.
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
Something is been bothering me since my G3 days, and seems on my V10 has the same reaction.
I am using the STOCK LG MUSIC player, and i have all my Audio Files on the 200GB FREE SD Card.
Every time I unmount the SD card, all the songs I added to my playlists are empty....remounting the SD card doesnt resolve the issue.
Seems I need to re-add all the songs again to those playlists.
Is there a way to back up the Playlist, or to retain all the song listings?
Move them onto the phones storage from SD storage. That will retain them.
Otherwise, reformat the SD card and re add them back onto the card. Sounds like you might have an issue with the card.
Hi I have a A70 with a 512Gb sd card which I put all my music on but when I put the sd card back in the phone and reboot to start with all 198Gb of music is there but after A short while it all vanishes leaving only 14Gb of music left and I am confused why, the Music app I use is Poweramp I have searched the web with no answers.
