So I rooted my Nexus 7 and installed stickmount. I plug in a usb stick with music on it and Astro file manager finds it at sd1. I can tap on a song and choose a player and it plays but I'm having trouble getting a player to find the music without tapping on individual songs. Help would be appreciated.
I got zero answers to my question on two forums so I decided to download the nexus 7 Media Importer. It works and I can import media on an
SD card or USB device without having root. I can tell it to stream the songs but unfortunately it seems to stream only one at a time despite choosing multiple songs. If no songs are choosen the stream option does not appear. So am I right that, at this time, there is no way to play music from a USB or SD card except by choosing and playing one song at a time?

i tried to play music from the desktop but i can't see any songs or any albums..
i got a message says (The music titles in the playlist no longer exist. They may have been deleted or the storage card may have been removed) ..
in spite of i have songs on the device and on the storage card.. and i can play them with the media player and other apps...
i need your help guys.. how do i fix the Sense Music player to see my Songs/Albums list again!?
thanks alot
Does this happen when your phone is connected to your computer ? If so it sounds like your hd2 id set to work as a removable storage device when its connected to your pc, where the sd card becomes unavaliable to the phone and you can only access it from tue computer to transfer files.
reply
no i set the device on ActiveSync and the device not connected to pc.. still not working :s
Any genius here?
I have the exact same problem. The songs are located on the SD and I can play them with WMP or CorePlayer but Sense can't seem to locate them.
I didn't have this problem 2 days ago, but yesterday I copied 4 more albums to my SD card and since then Sense Music can't locate anything.
I have about 2GB of music but I doubt there's some limit. I tryied removing the SD and soft resetting the device a few times but it didn't fix the problem.
The card is in good shape and all apps installed on it work just fine.
I've had this issue on a couple of occasions. The sense player shows no files, but, of course, there are! I actually coaxed the Sense player into finding them by going to the menu tab and selected Add to Playlist. My files were THERE, but not in the actual Sense UI. I selected a song, it started to play, and then, voila, all of the files populated the Sense player again. It's odd...
not sure if I have the same problem, but when it happens to me, I just wait for ages and then they reappear. I think it just takes the Audio Manager Engine ages to re-scan your memory card after it has been connected to a pc. I often find that I can see files on the song tab before they appear on the Album or Artist tab.
this happens to me everytime i add a track or tracks, and every time i soft reset, all you have to do is go to song tab when phone is in horizintal view ( click library> slide to songs ) individual songs are there l, just play one then everything starts comeing back....
hellyeah!
Damn you're a genious!!
i've been trying for hours..
now i got my music back in sense player!
thanks!
I unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 and have music stored on external thumb drive. I can access and play songs going through file manager by clicking on the MP3 file and using "open with" function which will allow me to play individual songs via music apps such as Amazon MP3 or Double twist. However is there any way to get double twist/amazon MP3 to recognize the external USB drive and import the library on the external drive so it can do things like shuffle the songs as if they were on the internal flash drive?
If this is the wrong forum or this question has already been answered i apologize in advance

The only app that I know which will play for external flash drive is Power Amp. It can be found in play srore. There is a free trial (time limited) if you like it you can purchase license from within app.
Hope this is of some help!

I downloaded and tested it works great quite like the player so splashed out the 5.00 bucks seems like nice tool. Also found that ES file explorer has an option for media. Simply do long click on the USB music folder select the music option then select the add to playing option and it will import the library and allow you to shuffle your songs. Is simpler then power amp but does not have all the other options you get with power amp anyway thanks for the feedback.
So, I'm having a rather annoying issue here. I have a very large iTunes library and I bought the 128GB version so I could fit all 35gb of music on my phone without running out of space. The problem is that it shows there is 35gb of audio files in storage but when I open my music player app (currently using shuttle) and select play all songs, it only shows there as being 2,492 songs in the list (thats just a little more than half of the over 4K songs in my music library). So basically I'm missing out on almost half of my music when I go to shuffle and I can't figure out why. There is nothing I can find on the music player forums or on the phone forums for this. Does anyone know why?? Halp

Did you rescan your media library? - This needs to be done for the phone to detect any changes since plugging in via usb
Are all your songs the same format? - This is important if some are different formats the phone may not necessarily pick them up

Interestingly enough, it shows all the songs in Poweramp which I think is weird... They both support the same file types.. I'm wondering if it's some sort of thing that all players have that limits the amount of songs shown in the queue
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

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..

Hi. I have a separate micro sd with my music on it. When I plugged it into my S7E Nougat via usb connector, my native music player cant see music files. I can only play one music at a time when I go to the usb directory. I found this thread, but i am not sure if this will work on my S7E N. http://https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-usb-otg-support-media-players-t3343706.
Other options found is to use other music player like Poweramp, etc. but actually, I like it to be played using Samsung Music player.
Kindly help on how will I able to achieve this. TIA
