Hello, I recently flashed a WM5 ROM on my Hermes and proceeded to copy a bunch of mp3 songs from my computer to my SD card. However it seems as though the vast majority of the mp3 files cannot be played by any media player (tried with WMP and tcmpcp) - they say the data is invalid. Other mp3 files do play but some take really long to buffer and play on WMP.
The files work fine on my computer, I've tried reformatting the SD card to no effect, tried recopying, softresetting, taking out and reinserting SD card. For some reason these files on the SD card itself cannot be copied, moved or deleted via the file explorer or total commander on the phone. Note that opening the SD card on the computer and playing the files there works fine.
Any ideas?

right converted my dvd to a avi file and now got to put onto my memory card, but when i click copy it goes to copy it but when it gets half way it just re starts copying it again? is it cause the file is too big?
also how do i check how much memery space i got left on my memory card?
same problem
They only way I have found to copy mpegs or avi's to the mem card is to skip activesync altogether and use the adapter for my minisd card to plug into my laptop directly ( I have an sd port). If you dont have that you can buy a usb adapter that will do it. I then do a normal file copy to the storage card, place it back in the wizard and it works fine.
If you dont have an adapter for your memory card use wm5torage http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271652
I haven't dl'd any movies yet, but have had similar problems with large files. I have found that if you go to Tools->Options and uncheck Media, then Sync and disconnect and reconnect your device, it should not restart your Sync proccess midway.
After the file is dl'd, just reselect Media, and Voila!
Hope this helps!
I've got hold of a new MicroSD card, class 2 16Gb.
I've got about 6Gb of music which I want to copy across but I am having huge problems.
Firstly I tried using Windows Media Player sync function - but it only works for about 20 tracks and then stalls.
Copying the files directly using 'Disk' or 'ActiveSync' settings - look like everything is OK, but when I look at some of the contents of the folders they have wierd/scrambled names.
What is really puzzling me, is that I have both quick, and full, formatted the SD Card and the same folders are always messed up. I have tried every combination of copy method I can think of!!! The files are fine on my PC.
Copying the backup of the contents of my old SD Card onto the new one works fine.
Anyone else had this? Is it my SDCard that is screwed? Please Help!!!
no it's active sync and media player that are screwy. for best results put the card in a card reader on your pc, or if not available when connecting the phone to pc choose disk drive mode and copy it that way.
I'd say you got a faulty / "fake" card.
yesterday i had a severe problem with the standard media applications (video/musicplayer and gallery).
none of them would show me any of my media files when started.
the video player said "no sd card inserted", the musicplayer crashed with "music database to large" right after i started it and the gallery showed no pictures at all.
i was able to start a video by directly clicking on it within the filemanager.
i removed the external sd card, but this behaviour did not change after that.
than i copied all content from the internal sd card to the external sd card, formatted the internal sd card within the phone and than moved all the files back from the external to the internal sd card.
i did NOT overwrite any files that were created after formatting the card.
this finally helped and the media applications now work again as before.
my guess is, that the media database somehow got corrupted and therefore i would like to know the file names where the database is stored.
than, if this happens again, i can just delete the relevant files.
Its a hidden file in /mnt/sdcard/.gallerycache/ delete that and media scanner should rebuild the cache.

Hi,
I have G2 with stock f/w (2.2) with build # 1.22.531.8.
Here is the issue,
I copied mp3 files from PC to the SD card (used USB cable).
when I start the music app or ringdroid, I can't see any files on my SD card. how ever I can select the files using "ES File Explorer" and play it on music app.
But no files show up on the music app.
Here is what I have done so far,
--> deleted all the ".nomedia" files from the card
--> backed up data and formated the SD card thru the phone
--> copied all the files back
Here are few other things that I tried,
--> removed SD card and inserted it back
--> unmounted SD storage and mounted it within the phone settings
The music files are copied to the /music folder.
Please let me know if I am missing something here.
Thanks for your time.
have you tried a different music player ?
and try putting them in /mp3 (works for me)
maybe format the sdcard on your pc
i have a typical issue in my Yureka.
Google play music doesn't detect music/Mp3 files automatically from External Storage i.e., SD Card. Recently I downloaded few Mp3 songs using UC browser and these are stored in a folder named "UC downloads" in the Internal Storage and Google play detects the music files from UC downloads folder and not from SD Card.
Pls note, i have many mp3 songs already stored in SD card, but Google play music doesn't show the music files from SD Card.
Now my question is, why the Google play music doesn't detect the music files which are stored in External Storage i.e., SD Card?
And also, i have nearly 200 images & videos stored in SD Card, but Gallery doesn't detect these images & videos which are in SD Card..
