I tried to transfer the musics and songs through my pendrive to iconia, it transfered. But gallery in tablet doesn't show it.
If i transfer those through the usb from pc, all the media shows on gallery.
Is anyone having the same bug?
I think i had this bug once, too. Did you try to restart the tab? For me the media appeared after that.

I put some mp3's in sdcard/music. They do not show up in the play music app. I hit settings, refresh, but they still don't show up.
What's the deal?

I put a fair amount of music in that same location and I got an error about one file but all the others show up and play normally.
Maybe try restarting the app? Otherwise it might be something about the files themselves that the app is having problems with.
Try am app called "SD card rescan" that a worked for me with slight patience or try rebooting it

Mine showed up eventually, the app seems to take its own sweet time finding stuff

I had to wait a week for it to show that I had added songs to a playlist

Mine take a reboot to show up.

I have tried rebooting, turning the device off, etc. When I click on any of these mp3's, play music opens and plays the files. So the app has no problem playing these mp3's.
Obviously it's not rescanning the device.
Edit: still no joy this morning. Then I turned the device off and back on.
Now it shows up under artist, but not album. Is there some secret to making a folder so it shows up under albums?

In whatever you're using to sideload the mp3's, you can make sub-folders in the target folder. If you're connecting from a PC with USB, you can simply make folders the same way you do on your PC. I did this, and now the folder shows up in the music library.
The Android OS have a system service called the "Media Scanner" that will once in a while scan your storage for media.
I read the thread and what is been reported is two different points:
1. Sometimes it really does take a bit for the scanner to kick in and start its thing. 99% of time you reboot it does perform a full scan, so rebooting and waiting a few minutes before checking always helps.
2. the music show under artist but not album, that is to do with the MP3 tags. If you check your mp3 on Winamp or iTunes there are options to change/edit the MP3 tags, where you can set artist name, album name, year, style, album art, etc, etc... if those info are correct in the file, it will show on the player in the correct section, if it is not correct, well.. fix it, then move to your device.
hope it helps.

Well, it finally also showed up under albums. What's weird is it showed up under artists a few hours b4 it showed up under albums. What's up with that?
Another question: After copying MP3's to your device, even after they show up in the Play Music app, they do not get uploaded to your Play account?
I went out today and thought I would listen to this album on my phone. It didn't show up. Back at home, it doesn't show up on my computer's web browser when connected to my Play account. So is it a one way upload? Computer to cloud, but not mobile device to cloud?
Yep, the only way to upload is from the PC. The mobile app was never meant to do it.

I put mine on Google's servers A lot easier to stream it all rather than worry about remembering to copy it to my phone and tablet.
Usually I do too. But I downloaded this album direct from the artists web site on my Nexus. Later I will connect it to my pc and copy it over.
It just seems so archaic.

I was having some similar issues, but after trying out a few different things that seemed to work for others, mine showed up. Not sure exactly what was the magic trick, but a mix of restarting, rescanning, etc. seemed to help... Thanks all!
I would like to create a ringtone however any song I purchased on Google music is not available on my storage. Any way I can access it so I can create one?

Look through your files with a file managing app and move it to a mother music folder. I don't know if you'll even find it because I haven't tried. But I'd like to know a 100 percent legit option too

you need to be rooted and need a file browser that can access root folders
got to data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
they don't have proper names or date accessed info so if you have lots of files like me... good luck

You can download google music manager on your pc and download your library. Then copy and paste to your s4. If you look for the songs in root explorer they show up as numbers if I remember right.

Find the song in your music player and click the pin button beside it.
That saves it to your phone. Done.
If you want use an app to make it a ringtone make sure you have root and use root explorer or anything root capable file explorer and navigate to data -> data -> com.google.android.music -> files -> music -> (artist/album)
Copy that file to your default Music folder that doesn't require root and wella any ringtone app should be able to find it.
OR
do as someone else suggested and download it to to your computer from Google Play Music then manually copy it over
this as happen to me twice now itook avideo from my hunting trip i go to my phone and the f******* video is not there iand i know it recorded because the first one i played and the record ing was working because it showed 10 minutes anybody this was a once in a lifetime video.i wonder about this phone now.helllllp
Have you tried using a computer to watch that video?
How are you trying to access the video? Have you looked in the gallery?
Also you can try downloading a file explorer app. I use root explorer but if you are not rooted look for file explorer in the app store.
You will want to navigate to storage/emulated/0/dcim to find video files recorded with the camera app that came with the phone.
