I have noticed on two different phones that my audio files (on SD CARD) are not showing up when i try to access them via any media player. Ie. Tunewiki. Anyone have any suggestions?

"via any media player", even the stock one?
Mixzing shows internal media, and it's one of the best players around.
Maybe a reinstall is in order? I have all my mp3's in a folder named mp3 on my SD card and all my media players see them.
Make sure a file with a .nomedia extension didn't somehow make it into your folder.

I have tried all music players, reinstalled the players. I can't think what else to do. If it matters I am running SkyRaider 1.9.

I currently have all of my music (15,000+ songs) set up for use with Itunes/iPod. I would like to try to use Windows Media Player with the HD2. However, I am concerned about letting Media Player access my files that are currently cataloged in iTunes.
1. Can I set up Media Player so that it accesses the mp3 and m4a files but doesn't copy or move the files from the iTunes folder?
2. If I add the music to the Media Player system, can I rate the music in the Media Player without changing or disrupting the music files themselves?
3. Can Media Player playlists be created without disrupting the iTunes system?
If you currently are using Media Player/HTC Player AND iTunes/iPod successfully, can you tell me if there are any issues that need dealing with? Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player. I'm assuming that using Media Player to create lists is easier and more secure than creating lists from manually copied files.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way I recommend which I my self did is Find your Itunes library on your computer copy it to your HD2's storage Card and from there do whatever you like.

From my original post: "Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player."
As far as I know you should delete songs from the folder that you have your music in it usually on your storage card that should not be any problem,another way is that you use the ActiveSync to sync your music files from your computer to your device,in this way whenever you add or delete a music file on your PC it will be automaticaly synced to your Phone,this sure is the better way.
I am sorry if this was mentioned before, I did search but found too many misleading threads.
I have an 8gb class 6 microsd, I created a music folder and loaded a few mp3s to test out on Meridian Player and MixZing. Both media players did not find any of my music, and I could not find the files I just added using the File Manager.
I'm confused, as when I connect to my PC via USB, I see the files. But they don't appear on the device?

Hmm haven't tried Froyo or Meridian/MixZing (actually I may have lol). I've got Eclaire and have used the default and 3 (cubed) music players. So far I've had no problems.
I've got Eclaire in the root of my sdcard and my music in:
***root sdcard***\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Where did you create your music folder?
Does doing something similar for Froyo work?- say:
Froyo in: ***root sdcard***\Android
Music in: ***root sdcard***\Android\Music

I've tried to create them in the root and in Android\music. It just seems to have a very difficult time recognizing any files I put on the SDcard.

Seems like a Froyo Stock Music App bug as I have the same problem on Stock Builds. Sense builds and the HTC Music App does not have this problem so it has something to do with the way Froyo indexes music files.
I have tried sdrescan, scanmedia (both free apps in the market) and it won't detect all the music in stock Froyo builds.
You could try MortPlayer, as it indexes all your folders when it starts... haven't had luck with it though as it keeps FC'ing on me
I was able to transfer 3 songs over and have it opened through my File Manager app. It took over 6 tries for the SD card to actually read the files. When I would add files, File Manager would show them as 0 KB. I got lucky with these 3 mp3s but haven't been able to consistently add songs.

Hmmm, so other music players use Froyo's indexing service while HTC player and MortPlayer don't?

Yes. That's what its looking like. no amount of sdrescan's will reveal all my music files, unfortunately.
For those of you who don't have this problem, where do you store your Music Files?

Idd, so either use mp3's with proper tags, or use these players.
Or use "Music Player" from Social Soft, it can tag/id mp3's.
im having a similar problem, i have over 300 songs but i can only find 20 in the music player but on sense builds (2.1+2.2) it finds all of my music
Tagging isn't the problem... Froyo seems to have a bug re: indexing music... no amot of scan or rescan will reveal ALL the music in the Music App or any app that relies on the Music App's indexing (doubletwist, tunewiki, mixzing, etc....)
Sense music player uses its own indexing since in Sense builds the Stock Music App is usually not included.
MortPlayer would have done the job since it indexes per folder but it keeps on crashing on my install. (shubcraft v1.1)
The Music app seems to load every audio file on my internal and sd card memory. How can I make it so that Music will only check my music folders? I tried the .nomedia trick but everything still shows up. I appreciate any help.
Does anybody else have this issue? I have audio books, recorded calls, voice memos, etc showing up in winamp, music, etc
Really? Im the only one here with this problem?
what i have done for every phone i have had is make a music only folder on the sd card and no other files in the folder and it works perfect.
i dont really think winamp and the default music player have folder options but i think power amp does
I do only have music in my music folder. these players are grabbing all audio files, even ones they can't play for some reason (ie: wav), from every folder on both the internal and sd memory. i have put a ".nomedia" file in all other folders besides the one with my music ion it and still no good. i will take a look at this power amp though.
Okay checked out power amp. it does have folder options which totally fixes my issue but it's a paid app... you shouldnt have to pay for this kind of feature.
hmm..that is weird.. I also just created a 'Music' folder on my SD card, and my music player has no problems.. it doesn't see anything else but that folder for music..
I stuck all my ringtones, notifications, alerts on the internal SD like this:
\media\Audio\Alarms
\media\Audio\Notifications
\media\Audio\Ringtones
those do not show up in my music list when I open the music player..
hth...
As the name suggests, I'm having some issues with audio playback on my new Iconia. I transferred all my music from my HTC Evo, to my PC, then to the Iconia using Acer's downloadable drivers. If I open the folder via a market downloaded file explorer...I have no issues. It is when I try to play the files in absolutely anything else that I get errors. Just FYI, the files are a mix of .mp3 and .wma files. Any thoughts?
Chlballi
Edit: I'm using File Explorer HD, and only the .mp3 files are playing within the explorer...the .wma files prompt for an app and fail
you can use windows media player to sync music
As far as I know, the WMA format isn't supported in Honeycomb natively.
I had the same problem but its was with google music. I tried power amp from the market and all my music plays fine now. And all my files are wma.

i ended up doing something similar with MortPlayer--still wish it would've worked with Google Music...I was realling digging the UI of that one. Oh well, at least my music plays now. If anyone ends up with a thought or a workaround for the native Iconia app, keep us posted here. I'd love to see a device where all of the stock software worked as it was intended!

Has anyone tried to sync music to our Acer's using Windows Media Player? If that can be used to send all the music to the device AND be able to use the default app...I'd be in good shape.

Yes. I did mention WMP above.
But I only did sync MP3 files, not WMA files. So I don't know about WMA part. MP3 is recognized and played flawlessly using stock music player.
Another note, if your music info (ID3 Tags) is not in English, make sure you have proper character encoding before syncing. Otherwise, they will be displayed as garbage. I think all ID3 Tags should be converted to UTF8, not sure, just used Foobar2000 to fix all my Japanese-title music.
After exchanging my first Iconia to BB for some other issues, I did as you mentioned with using the tablet as an external mp3 player in WMP and everything worked flawlessly! Thanks I also found a great .apk to be able to mount my NTFS HDDs to the tab without issue. So I'm in great shape now!
Chlballi
I tried an experiment with the music -- after syncing the music to my tablet using WMP, I noticed that it placed all of the files into the music folder within the root sdcard (internal memory) and google music pp worked great. I moved all the files from that folder to a folder created on the external_SD, and the app fails like before. Apparently the Music app that comes with our Iconias cannot see anything outside of its native internal memory

When I transfer songs to my phone I cant find them, nor does the music player detect them. First I tried just copy and paste them to SD Card into Music folder. Then I used Media Go but the issue is still there. My phone doesnt recognize any new music, but the songs are on my memory card. Any ideas?
Try use a different media player?
