Just updated my N1 AT&T version to FRF85B. Phone is only weeks old. Everything stock. The update was done via SD card.
Now none of my music is being added to the music player library. Only WMA tracks show up - no MP4 tracks. Not even the few MP3 tracks are showing up.
Oddly, the music will play via Astro just fine.
All tracks are in a folder called Music on my 8GB SD card (newly formatted with Fat32). Astro has no problems browsing the card nor does my laptop's card reader.
I noticed when I put the card in the phone, it became unresponsive after about 20 seconds after boot. Then the phone restarted itself. It's super fast and smooth as ever (loving Froyo) and no other issues have come up (so far).
Has anyone come across this issue?

hey everyone, i just got my blackstone yesterday and after uploading songs both through sync and manually into the storage card, my songs always freezes once i have an amount of about 50 or more. is this the stock firmware problem? is there a way to fix this?
I had that problem too, songs I dragged to the storage card would just stop after a few seconds of playing in AudioManager, or not play at all.
For me it worked better after I started to sync all songs through active sync and media player. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I also just synced about 10 songs at a time and didn't have the audio manager tab open. Because I was scared it would happen again, I didn't put more then 500mb of songs on the storage card yet.
The storage card included with the phone is class2. I wonder, will a class 6 storage card solve these kind of problems better?
Also I wonder, would it help to make a back-up of the AudioManager_Eng.vol after syncing all the songs?
I used to get this on the bog standard crappy Orange ROM that came with the device. It would be fine until I loaded in Santogold by Santogold. Nothing would load after that and if you tried to play anything, it'd freeze up and I'd get an audio manager error or something. In the end, I entered the world of ROM flashing. Has made the phone more usable for sure.
I have the same problem. However, the problem doesn't occur if I bypass the touchflo music interface and use the Windows Media Player that came with it.

I have a stock T-Mobile Tab. I have a 16gb memory card installed in it, with quite a bit of music on the card. Whenever I play an mp3, it works fine....for the first song. It seems that about halfway through the second or third song, my tab always freezes. It doesn't seem to matter if the music file is on the sd card or my 16gb's of internal storage, it still freezes. I even placed an mp3 that plays through fine the first time on repeat to make sure it wasn't just bad files. The mp3 that worked on first play freezes upon being repeated.
Is this just me with this problem? Any ideas what it could be?
My tab doesn't freeze, but it does stutter/skip after a few songs have been played. I think there are two possible solutions. First, try a different music player from the market. I think skipping/stuttering is a known issue of the stock player. Also, maybe the quality of the SD card could be the problem. I bought the cheapest card. So use someone elses card to test that out.
Let us know how it works out.
My uk tab o2 has this issue to every time I start a track in music app built in the phone it shuts down. Also happens with stock email client.then opens on second try.
This is my second tab with o2 and the last had same issues.....

Check the notification area if the media scanning is running, it is the sd card icon. If you have thousands of mp3 as in my case, scanning uses up the cpu slowing down the tab considerably.
If you want to cancel the scanning, you need to root your device. You can download z4root to safely do it. Then download Rescan Media Root. This program enables you to disable scan.
Note though you need to really run the media scanning for newly added media files so those can be accessed by the stock media player. You do this at night before sleeping. Mine takes about five hours to complete.

I have a Lexar 16gb class 4 card running WP7. I don't experience any issues with the day to day running. Don't experience many random reboots and the phone doesn't seem to lag etc... The SD card appears to be working fine and I can sync files to and from Zune.
The issue I have is that when playing music back through Zune on the phone there is always a gap between music tracks, even if the album I'm listening to doesn't have them. Is this a random access speed issue or something that can be rectified via settings.
So I finally pulled the trigger and bought my HuiFei head unit. I installed it just fine and most things seem to be working ok. I keep running into a specific issue with the MicroSD card and music playback however.
It will either play fine for a few moments then hang and crash the music app, or it will randomly start playing several seconds of each song just like if you were doing a scan for radio stations. I've tried the built in music player as well as PowerAmp and have the same problem with both. I tried the format trick recommended in the main thread posted by R4D3N. That doesn't seem to have corrected the issue.
I'm using a Samsung 64GB Class 10 UHS-1 MicroSD card I bought at Best Buy (Model: MB-MP64DA/BBY). I have my MP3's sorted as follows:
\\ARTIST\ALBUM\Track # - Track Title
I'm wondering if the file names are too long or if there's some other issue I'm unfamiliar with that could be causing this problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
So I spend a bunch of time this weekend redoing the tags and flattening the file structure on my MicroSD card. I renamed all the MP3's to ALBUM-TRACK#.MP3 and placed them in the \\MUSIC\ directory on the card. This eliminated the long file names and flattened the directory structure. Everything is working perfectly now and the volume is no longer randomly dismounting itself.
I have just come back to android after a 4 year iPhone hiatus. I've got myself a S7 edge and put in a 64GB SD card.
The SD card seems to work fine until I try and download music to it from Google Play Music, it gets to 1-2% and then the phone reports the card is corrupt and cannot be used. It cant even format it. I returned the card and got a replacement which did the same thing.
With the card in a corrupted state I put it in to my Windows PC (which reports it corrupted), deleted the partition and recreated it. Used both iometer and ht2testw to fill the card to its limit and test IO on it, which did not fail. I've then put it back in the phone and tried to download music and it corrupts again.
Next I've put it back in Windows and fixed the partition, put it back in the phone and got the phone to re-format it and tried again - corrupt again.
I've fixed the partition, signed up to a spotify account and filled the card with as much music as it would hold - this works! As does every other app - camera, podcasts, copying games to run from the SD card. Its only when Play Music tries to right to it.
Has anyone seen this before? Is it a known issue? Any ideas for a fix?
You are lucky your card survived...
