I have just purchased a new MicroSD and copied all the content of my old SD (via the PC) to the new card.
Everything works fine, but I have lost all of my music playlists on HTC Sense Music tab.
Does anyone know how to get them back?
I have even tried reinstalling my old card, doing a Titanium Backup (app & data) of music related apps, then copying the backups across and restoring them on the new card - but still no playlists whatsoever.
I've got over 3000 songs on the card, so this is really bugging me losing all of my playlists. Anyone got any ideas?
Doubletwist is a free app that seems to do fine reading Sense playlists, and vice versa (Sense music player reads lists imported via Doubletwist). Not sure how it will react if you swap the SD card, but its worth a try.
Along that same line of thought, there are various apps (some free) in the Market for creating playlists that might be helpful.

Used to work fine but over the weekend my phone started crashing whenever i went to music tab. have scince done several har resets and tryed different rom flashes. no longer crashes but wont find the music.
currently useing miri-dinik (anastacia) rom, and and sandisk 32gb class 4 card.
Sense player origonaly found the music when rom first flashed last night but after a couple of hours stoped working. Windows media player still finds it all and plays it no problem.
can anybody help.
Correction!
have just realised sense player done find them in all songs tab but will not display anything under the artist album or genres tab
Please help i have a lot of music so browsing all 25gb by song title only is hell.
I found this on the HD2 and HD Mini when moving from a 16Gb to 32Gb MicroSD card; I suspect it's a problem with not being able to read data from the card quickly enough, and will required a ROM patch/update.
Same thing here, music stops after a few seconds and music player in landscape will give me a 'no music found' error.
I can see my music in the all songs tab, but in the albums tab I see none.
I tried 3 different ROMs Artemis, energy and for now Cleanex, all with the same error.
I tried formatting the SD-card (16GB) and sync all my songs with WMP, this did the trick for about 5 minutes
Really frustrating because music player is the app I use the most.
where are y'all finding 32gb micro sd's??? (legit ones)
I'm having this exact same problem. Normaly the musicplayer would always load the songs but now it just can't organise it anymore. I can view all my songs on the all songs tab though, but I like to listen to albums, so this is not an option for me, neither a different player, because I actually liked this one till it gave me this problem.
What I found out:
- The player will work again when you perform an hard-reset, but when you're doing your first soft-reset, the musicplayer stops working and is unable to organise the songs.
- After a hard-reset, your also not supposed to take out your SD-card, because you will get the same problem again.
- The player also starts working again if you delete \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Audiomanger_Eng.vol, but after one single soft-reset it will stop working.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? I also tried to format my SD-card, but it gave me the same problem. The music player always worked for me, till now. I would really appreciate help.
P.S. Sorry for any grammar or spell faults, I'm dutch.
I had the same problem and solved it by formating my SD card and copy all contens back to the SD card. After a soft reset of the Phone it could find the music and play without stopping again.
Unfortunately it didn't work for me. Any other solutions?
The only original SanDisk 32 GB mSD is CLASS 2 ! There is no CLASS 4
Maybe You got faked mSDs ?
No mine is from Kingston and it is Class 2 and it's 16 GB. Like I said it always worked till now.
Sorry for the double post, but I just really want my musicplayer working again, it's one of the main reasons I bought this phone. Does anyone have the solution for this problem?

How did you your music on the card? when I first got my hd2, I just basically copied my music folder from my pc by the typical "drag n drop" method which rendered the sense music player pretty much useless. What I did was have Itunes on my pc organize, (File/Library/Organize Library), the library and then locate this folder in the music folder, (Music/Itunes/Itunes Music/Music). Open that music folder and you will see that Itunes has filed the music by artist alphabetically. I then selected all these folders and copied them over (except for ringtones and podcasts folder) and have had no problems since.
Basically I think that since we are dealing with a phone that is a Windows based system, the more you can organize folders in a directory oriented manner, the better. Wether this will solve your problem or not, I really don't know. I read another post where a hd2 owner made a directory of alphabetical folders, A,B,C, etc, and put the artists in each folder accordingly and had similar results. Again, don't know if it will help or not.
Also, I don't use the WMP. Don't like it, never have liked it even on my pc. On the hd2 it seems shaky at best so I stay away from it. Just my personal experience.
I'll Start from the beginning,
Before the S4 was released I owned a Note 2 and I purchased a 64gb micro SD for it (sandisk), I used an app called iSyncr which syncs your itunes playlists straight to your phone's micro SD card.
Once I got my S4 I decided to move my micro SD card from my Note 2 into my S4 ( I've always done this when getting newer phones and never had problems with empty playlists)
Now I seem to have problems with Empty playlists, sometimes my music will be in them, other times they are empty, After a reboot my playlists will be empty, I often use the force media scanner app, sometimes this works but I then end up with duplicate playlists, one of them being empty, the other having the music in them.
I've tried renaming the folder my music is located in just in case it conflicts with other folder names, this hasn't worked.
I'm at a point now where I just don't understand why I'm having such problems and it's driving me crazy!
Your help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Same here,
Sometimes my music player recognizes the mp3 files and sometimes it recognizes just 20 of them
(I have around 1700 mp3 files on my sd card)
I've read about some issues with SanDisk 64gb sd cards, but I don't really see any solution =[
Don’t know what will end up being useful info so here goes. I had 1000 songs on my 32 GB sd card and was able to use the built in music player and MusiXmatch to play. Then I updated the MP3’s with embedded cover art and lyrics. Things were still good. Then I installed MXvideo, podcast addict, instagram. Then I copied about 2GB of 12 video files and was playing those with MXvideo. I changed quite a few settings in MXvideo and podcast addict.
Now I went back to MusicXmatch and Music player and my 1000 songs are not shown. They are still there in My files and if I click on them they play with the music player from the sd card. If I try to play a previously created playlist or recently listened to it tells me can’t play that audio type. If I copy a file from the sd card to phone it will be added to the library and play. If I try to go to a folder on the sd card from with in a music app it doesn’t seems to recognize that there is an sd card.
Steps taken
Reboot
Remove SD card, reinsert, reboot
Cleared all default apps that I thought had anything to do with audio
Uninstalled all recent apps
Thought it was something try to take over the playing of .mp3’s but they play fine if on phone
Stumped!
.nomedia file
Ok so I noticed a .nomedia file on the root of the sd card. Evidently, this stops all apps from scanning this or sub folders.
So I deleted it BUT this doesn’t clear the problem. I unmounted SD card, cleared cache, reboot, etc. trying to get the apps to rescan.
What I had to do was unmount, pull card, reboot without card and then insert.
Still don't know what app put that file there.
Hope this helps someone else someday.
All of my music is on a 200gb sd card. In google play music I created a number of playlists over a couple of days. I recently rebooted phone and noticed that most of the playlists had lost all of their songs. Rebooted again and another couple of playlists went the same way.
The music still exists on the sd card. The artists and albums are still present in the Play Music library and still play ok.
Anyone else had this.......or even better, a solution
Edit - seems to occur after a power off and power on rather than a reboot

I have done a few tests and can now say that the problem only exists if the playlist points to music on sd card. If the playlist points to music on internal storage then rebooting the phone does not affect the playlist.
Therefore it seems likely that rebooting the phone causes the path to the music files (on the sd card) to change, so play music can no longer find the songs even though they still exist on the sd card.
PS......emailed Samsung Support, their reply was that rebooting the phone causes all of the music files on the device to be deleted (even though I explained that my music is on sd card not device memory and that the music files still exist, just they don't show up in the playlist)
What about trying another music player, or another playlist format (like M3U, but maybe for that u need another music player too)... in my personal experience, the music was the biggest problem because I feel like Goole Play Music is worst that windows media player xD, and actually find a good media player is so hard, but never tried GPM, so maybe is a problem from the app and no the phone itself

Yeah, using Poweramp now..........and I've found I prefer it to GPM so should be grateful that I had the problem
#same
Yeah.. annoying as.. Wasted hours putting playlists together on Music Player only to have contents get deleted when power off / on.. Read something about being able to make sd card 'adoptable storage' by tweeking developer options.. may give this a try, but it involves formatting the current sd card, so plan to try when i have some time.. Frustrated GS7 User
Ooo another Jennings
So I added my iTunes library using isyncr like I always do with my Android phones but to the SD card instead since Samsung decided to only make this a 32gb internal.
Now when I go to my music player, one of my Playlist (just one) is always missing. If I unmount the SD CARD and remount it, I go to the music player and I see the Playlist for about 3 seconds then it goes away.
Hopefully this is an easy fix, things like this are normally the reason I keep going back to the iPhone and my Nexus. Any help will be great as so far this has been the best phone Samsung has made.
Let me also ad that, I tried reformatting my SD card and syncing my Playlist again, same problem. I'm completely stock also.
