How do I enable windows media player to transfer music to XDA 2 ?
When I click on copy to CD or device the XDA is not in the dropdown list, clicking on supported portable devices only takes me to a microsoft site where I cannot find the XDA.
hhhmmmm why not just copy it to the pocketpc folder in your my doc and sync the files to the xda ?
or use activesync to explore and copy the files to the xda ?
or if you use a sd card put it in your sdcard reader and copy the files to it like you would a disk ?
i never got mediaplayer to copy any music even to my mp3player back when i had an such
Hmmm thats wierd it works for me!!
As Rudegar say, copy your MP3 in a new Directory (must be created by you) via windows explorer.
After that, copy the directory in your PPC via ActiveSync and that's all.
At the beginning, I transfered my MP3 direct on my SD card with windows explorer but it doesn't work, ActiveSync modify the files automatickly.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Hi
I'm planning to do a factory reset on my i9506, since I've had many problems with it lately.
Problem is, when I connect my phone to my computer to backup/copy files i.e. go to Computer\S IV\Phone\DCIM\Camera
I can only see pictures like .jpg files, but not any of my video .mp4 files.
Another example, looking at my Download folder on my computer it shows 70 files, but browsing the folder with my phone there are actually 334 files.
I've tried connecting as MTP and PTP with no difference.
The files I'm backing up are on the phones internal memory. I don't have an SD card atm because the phone messed it up.
Now I can't do a factory reset untill I've gotten all of my "important" files secured on my computer...
How can I fix this? I really need to reset my phone to possibly get it working normally again.
Use something like Airdroid to transfer the files. I also always have some kind of problems transfering files in any other way.
I have a LOT of music on my phone (40 GB) I try to be meticulous about labeling the files so I can find them quickly.
Some of my files were mislabeled. These are all on my external micro sD card. It won't let me change the files with my phone connected to the computer and opening via file explorer. I drag the file on to my desktop them rename. Then I delete the file on the SD card then drag the new renamed and/or new ID3 Tag bag into the SD card. The process goes with no problems. I then restart my phone. For some reason the file is relabeled properly but stays in the same position? Any help please. Also, any help why I can't rename directly on the device using file explorer or even change the ID3 tag? Was never this way with any other phone?
Thank You!
I forgot to mention I have the ZE551KL model my computer is Windows 10 operating system the files are in the correct order when I go into the file manager program is just the Music app that came with the phone is where the problem is.
There's nothing wrong with the SD card I'm using. It works fine on my computer and on my v10. But for some reason on my v20 it is constantly scanning the sd card. Media files still show up but I cannot open them until the never ending scan ends. Also the music player also does not read the music on the card. I know this use to be an issue with older Android phones but I didn't expect my v20 to have this issue.
It says:
"Scanning media files... try again after scan is complete"
More details? App? Brand of sd card? Type of files? How do you have them organized? Do you have a .nomedia file where it shouldn't be? Etc.?

200gb Lg Brand Micro SD. Using the stock file app . The pop up comes up on all types of media files.
I can still play files on es file explorer however apps such as black player and the stock music app do not recognize any media on the sd card unless I transfer it into the internal storage. I removed all .nomedia files from the card and the card works perfectly fine when plugged in to any other device.

Depending on how much media you have (hopefully less than available internal space) transfer everything to internal memory using es file explorer (or Root explorer - my preference) (avoid the Android folder - but backup any app data you have cause if any apps save their data to the sd card, it will be lost in this method along with any apps you installed to the sd card *just redownload them from play store*).
Then format SD card using phone.
Then transfer everything back to the SD card
FYI doing this changes the modified date of any photos/videos so the phone will think they're new. Only drawback of doing this. I had an issue with my Samsung 256gb card and that was the only way I could get it to fix.
I had to backup my files with my 200GB Sandisk to my laptop, format card for hahas, then retransfer back manually. Did my 90+GB of flacs while watching a movie and the other 40+GB overnight while sleeping.
I transferred stuff onto my 200gb SanDisk card that I had been using in my tablet. The files all showed in file Explorer but wouldn't show in gallery or music players.
There was a lost.dir folder on the SD card (along with others from the tablet) the folder seemed empty (didn't check for hidden files) I deleted the lost.dir folder and the phone can now see everything. (pictures all in gallery now as well as mp3s showing in music players)
Worked for me... Not sure if it will apply to your situation but I figured I'd share...
Same issue but different scenario
Hi All,
I am experiencing a similar issue with a specific app (only so far) - 9gag.
Whenever I download an image from their feed with the dedicated 'save' button, it will save it onto my internal storage (can't change the location of that via app), but it won't show in my gallery.
When I try to open the imaeg in the file explorer it says 'scanning media files... try again after scan is completed' - however, no matter how long I wait, I can't open it and it never becomes visible in the gallery.
I tried following things so far:
- reboot: it works, every time I reboot, all files are scanned and in the gallery, however, if I save further images, the new ones won't show up until I reboot again
- stop media scanning service and clear data: no effect
- rename folder: no effect
- rename file: this works, it shows up in gallery
- copy/move onto sd card: this works too, it shows up in gallery
As you can see, there ARE ways I can make the pics visible, but none of them is a sustainable way. I can't reboot or rename after each image I save, that's pure madness.
Any ideas what else I can try?
Oh and btw, all other apps do work, for example if I save files from screenshots, downloads, Line or WeChat, the phone does create a folder in the same way it does for 9gag and it is visible in the gallery with no problems, so it might be app specific? I also reached out to 9gag already but i don't think they will reply...
Hello,
I use a microSD to transfer music files from laptop. I do this through a USB cable to the phone, then selecting File Transfer USB mode on the phone. I put everything in a MUSIC folder I created.
In subsequent connections, some/many of the previous music files and folders on the phone do not show in windows explorer! As if they do not exist.
The files/folders do exist and play fine on the phone. They also are visible from the phone's file explorer.
I use Huawei's music player app. It may be related to the issue described above (by somehow hiding the music files?).
Any ideas?
Thanks
