I recently had just bought a 32gb Sandisk micro SD card for my HTC Evo. When I hook my phone up to computer, change it to a disk drive and go to transfer music it say it goes on my phone. But when I go to play the songs, they just skip 1 after another after another. And non of them work. I dont know if I need to make a special folder or something on my phone. But then when I load up Astro to look through my files it shows it on my sd card, but that its not actually there. If that makes any sense.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance..
That's strange. I just bought the Wintec 32GB Class 10 and it works fine. I did notice, though, after I load up a bunch of music, that it takes Android a long time to catalog it all. It sits there, screen flashing, popping up the "Updating Media Files" notification for a long time. The songs don't show up in my music player until this process is complete. Does your phone do that as well?
Are the song from itunes? Do they have DRM?
Did you try formatting the SD card?

what music player are you using? I suggest DoubleTwist.
im just using the default media player that came with it. And not from itunes. Im just linking my computer to it, and dragging and dropping into my sd card. normally ill make a folder and name it music. dunno if i need to do anything maybe to the folder?
Try searching for SD card spreed fix.....I had the same problem
HTC EVO
I use poweramp and I usually have to go into the settings and tell it to "rescan folders" and sometimes you can select what folders it looks in. Check for similar settings in your player.
You have been EVOfied.
Have you looked at how large the files are on the SD Card? Making sure they actually contain data (the music)?
Can you play the files from the SD Card when you have the phone mounted to the computer?

Well when the phone is mounted, it cant read anything off the card.. Theres something going wrong from it being on my computer to when it transfers to the SD card and then is un mounted. I just dont know what that is..
Create a folder on the sd card named music and drop them all in there. Then make sure in settings the sd card is mounted. home screen/settings/sd card and storage. I think it causes issues when you just drop them on the root of the sd card. Some don't have a problem but others do.
Do you have a SD card reader you could use to check out the contents of the card not through the phone?
Agree with the post to make a music folder, that's how mine is.

Try formatting your SD Card to FAT rather than FAT32
I had problems before with the SD card formated to FAT32 when WMP would suddenly stop recognising the micro SD card after a day or so of use. Reformatted to fat and havent had any problems since.
Thanks, i will try to format fat, but how can i do this if using my tytn, i dont have a external driver tu plug my micro sd or the adapter that comes with it.
I will try the program to

It nothing problem with your SD card. WMP just can't recongize your Micro SD card which contain hidden or system folder like "MSMETADATA". Just delete this folder and the WMP can search and add media files again.
WMP sucks.

In WMP in the library screen you select between the machine memory and the SD card memory by using the library drop down in the top left corner of the screen. Have you done this?

Deleting the folder also fixed the problem for me, without losing any data.

I read somewhere in this forum yesterday someone mentioned that when he inserted a SD Card full of pictures, the built-in Picture Gallery in Honeycomb does not display the pictures in the SD Card. He can only open each picture one by one from the File Manager. Further comments from other folks clarified that Asus added/mounted the SD Card reader but Honeycomb native applications do not recognized them yet.
Is this the case for all media files stored in either microSD card or the full SD card? I mean, most people (especially the 16GB owner) surely plan to use the microSD or SD card to expand the storage of the device. But if those media files cannot be recognized by the Honeycomb application, that means we still need to copy to the internal storage for those files?
I do not have the transformer yet but want to know about it. Thanks!

Hopefully this will be addressed as honeycomb matures. You can however access the files using a file explorer app, far from ideal but it will do for now.
From the File Manager, can we copy a folder from the SD card to the internal storage?
Or from the SD Card to an extenal storage like HDD?
(I'm trying to ask if we can copy a bunch of pictures in a SD card (taken from a camera) and store them in the external storage for backup and internal storage for displaying in the tablet).

Yes, you can copy files and folders using the file manager.
I have no problems with any of the few thousand photos or few thousand songs i have on my micro SD. The transformer recognizes everything fine in gallery, music app etc...
16g transformer here.... Hope that helps.
Also, After the recent OTA a few days ago my sd card disappeared, but i just popped it out put back in and back to normal...

And hopefully with the 3.1 update in June can just plug the camera in and move the files across in the file explorer..

So, if I get it correctly, the issue I mentioned earlier is only with the full SD Card? (not affecting the microSD)?
At least, that's not that bad (as in our smartphone, the Android does recognize all music, pictures stored in the microSD card).

I can only speak for myself but that is the case for me.
I am having the same problem. I tried putting a few cd's onto both the sd and mcsd and still nothing. I cannot get the songs to play in the music player. I can however access pictures but cannot find any of the songs. Anyone else have this problem?
Most people said as soon as they plug in the card the TF automatically recognizes the songs and plays. Mine does not and I cannot find them anywhere even with an explorer app installed? I am also a Android novice!
No problems with pictures..
Regarding music, Have you tried going into settings >manage Apps and delete/clear the cache for the music player? That worked for me.

I had the same problem, until I removed the Music from my internal storage.
Now the music app sees everything on the MicroSD.
I've not had much luck with them seeing stuff on the dock mounted SD cards though.
That did it!!!!!! WOoooohooooooo! Thanks man. Jeez why should that be so damn difficult?! Thanks a ton man,

pictures work just fine. as people have said, music can be iffy, just clear the data and it'll work.
one thing though, anything plugged into the USB ports or SD slot on the dock WON'T load in any of the default apps. at least not on the 3 USB drives i've tried. you can still open everything from the file manager without any issues, but they won't show up.
Make sure your sdcard is formatted using fat32
You are welcome
How do you get the camera to save images to removable storage?
I have no issues with default music app and playerpro seeing all my music on my microsd card.

I don't think that matters - Transformer can read/write external USB hard drives formatted to NTFS; there's no reason why it shouldn't read NTFS cards, either (not that I've tried, as it's kinda rare to have one).
Im using the Vplayer. So I put a 16g micro SD card in my tablet, and I am putting movies from my PC on it. I read on here that I had to change the root folder in Vplayer to "/" instead of "sdcard". When I do it shows 6 different folders with ringtones, music, videos on internal card etc.
What i am wondering is there a way for you to have it just show the external sdcard? If not no biggy, just trying to make playing a movie for my kids a little easier. Thanks

Try changing it to /external_sd.
I looked for the player that you are using just to check it out and I can not find it. Maybe you are talking about VLC player???
Im sorry, Its VPlayer.

Hi guys,
I have a 32GB SD card which is formatted in the TN7. I can remove it and put it in my Mac and copy some movies (under 2GB each) onto it, but I keep getting an issue where I can move over about 2 or 3 movies, but after that it doesn't want to know!
Sometimes they are on the card but when inserted into the TN7 and trying to play the movie it doesn't work!
I have tried both ways of using the Android transfer program as well as removing the SD card from the tablet and putting it in my Mac but still get the same problem.
I don't want to put them all on the TN7 as it will take up alot of memory, cant transfer them to the card in either with the SD card issue.
Running all latest software.
Any other way to try it?
Cheers

Hmm, interesting issue. Can't say I know the solution but what I would try next would be to see if the problem duplicates when using a different PC, maybe a windows machine for greater difference. I've personally moved 6 movies in one go and had them all appear and play on my TN7.

I tried to do the transfer in Windows (under VMware) but when I copy the file over I get a message saying that I might not be able to view the file if I copy it over?! Some files work and others say they cannot be played.

Got a new 64gb card today and still get the same problem, transferring movies to it lets say 6 of them. 2 will work fine and other ones will fail to play.
What memory cards are you guys using?
Ok so messing around I put the movies I wanted on the tablets storage, then I got ES file manager and tried to copy them on to the 64GB micro sdcard, but when you go play the file it says movie cannot be played! I copied 7 over and only 4 play. Weird thing is they all play fine from the tablets own storage but copying them to the sdcard has some issue somewhere.
Hello.If you are plaing on built in player try mx player on sw settings.Im using mx player on 64gb sandisk mobile ultra without problems.
thanks, tried that already but the problem is copying the movies from internal memory to sdcard, they always 60% fail the other 40% work!
Thought I would just try this FakeFlashTest..
64GB
image hosting over 10mb
32GB
image ru
I can return the 64GB one for a refund
Try Hd Tune pro and check for errors in sd card.
be transferred to a micro SD card?
Personally, I transferred Facebook & Facebook Messenger to my SanDisk 200gig micro SD card and after doing so I clicked on my Facebook icon and my S7 Edge glitched & stuttered for a second and then went directly into boot loop. Even though I read online these two apps can be migrated to the SD card with the S7, and my phone easily made & recognized the transfer, something wasn't happy afterward.
Anyone else have similar experiences?

I personally don't transfer anything to SD card. It is slower than the internal memory. My SD card is for storage purposes only

So when you say Storage, you would be talking strictly photos, videos, music?
I ask because I am totally new to Android as well as having a SD card in a phone (having come from the iPhone world).
Thanks.

Yeah when I mean storage, literally EVERYTHING ELSE that isn't an app. Music, videos, pictures, documents, file back ups, pdfs, zip files to flash. It all goes on my SD card. Built in phone storage is for apps I download and whatever it stores in cache etc. I do have Spotify download offline playlist to my SD card as well. Any app that has it's own built in option to store downloaded data to the SD card, I'll do. There aren't many and it is normally just backups (SMS Backup Restore for example can back up all your texts and call log to external sd card).
