I have a new TMO TP2, and am somewhat puzzled as to why the TF3D music player can't find the music that I've synced onto my storage card. Windows Media player sees the music just fine, but the TF3D one can't (it only sees the songs in the main storage).
The music is in a "Music" folder on the storage card, as it is in the main storage.
Any ideas?
Tried restarting TF3D or soft reset? After modifying some files by connecting the device to my PC as storage drive, the music player wouldn't recognize my files stored on storage card.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I had done both a restart of TF3D and a soft reset with no success.
Not sure how many songs you added to your storage card, but mine (~120 files) took several minutes before they showed up on the TP2. I believe I had gone to Library -> "All Songs tab" and then let it refresh/populate.

I did upload a significant number of songs (100+), but had my phone on for a long time (while I continue to tweak it!) and nothing has changed. I don't see any options under "Library" or anywhere else to refresh. Windows Media Player has such a feature (which I tried), but the TF3D player doesn't see anything.
I also tried to manually copy over a artist folder from the storage card onto the main storage (alongside the songs already there). Again, the TF3D doesn't recognize it.

There isn't a refresh button as such, but I recall bouncing between the different sub-tabs after clicking "Library" and it said something to the effect of "searching".
How about try moving everything from the phone's "MUSIC" folder to the storage card "MUSIC" folder (i.e. phone's "MUSIC" folder completely empty) and let it 're-search' on its own...
i have the same issues! i recently purchased an formated (FAT32) 8GB sd card, and synced my music from windows media player 11 through active sync. the music is on the card fine and i can play the music through windows media player, BUT not on the touch flo music player.
why is this happening?
i have a the files in a "MUSIC" file on the storage card same as the person who posted this issue.
When I first added my music to the Storage Card nothing showed up in TF3D either. I then deleted the music in the Music folder on my main storage and when I when to touch flo Audio tab it said searching. I opened up library and when I clicked all songs they started to appear. You might try that.
hi all, try my solution.. after moving mp3 to device / delete
then
You need to rename the follow file to "AudioManager_Eng.vol.vol"
Device/Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng.vol
Soft Reset . . . . New AudioManager_Eng.vol will be created.
Had the same exact problem.
Although in the beginning, it did work. Would find all music on storage card and device, in numerous folders.
Then after deleting some of the music and maybe a file or 2 in one of the music folders, and doing lots of copy/pasting of music from pc to card and card to device,then changing folder names, etc, the TF3D music player could not find music anymore. Tried everything could think of, no luck. Can not figure out exactly what caused this.
Took out storage card, did a 'Clear Storage' from the settings/system tab and then all was fine again. Had to reinstall my programs, no problem. Now TF3D music player finds all music on card and device once again.

What is format of SD Card? What is format of songs. I have a large amount of music on removable SD card and music app sees it all. Try exploring music and select a song on removable card to play. should open player, which might help.
I also have this issue and more..

I have the keyboard and the sd card is using the standard 32bit format. music is in the media folder copied from my hts desire, same as pictures and movies.
All of which work on the desire but are not visable through any of the default installed apps, I have also installed various free apps which again do not show the files.
I can play them seperatly via file explorer and they play properly but do not stay in the history.
Contacted Asus who suggested that I clear the apps cache via settinges/ applications etc.
Tried that several times including reboot before opening apps and no joy.
Also having the issues with google maps downloaded and cached maps. only work on internal memory.
Not rooted yet but depending on these issues will either root or return.
The media services will only recognize internal memory and /mnt/sdcard.
You have to move any music/videos/pictures manually into internal memory or sd card.
The Music app and gallery find the stuff on my Micro SD without a problem.
I have a 64gig micro SD card and placed music and movie files on there. For a day it worked fine..I was able to play music via samsungs music player and PlayerPro app. Now for whatever reason my phone does not see mp3 on my microSD card. I can still however play movies from my sdcard. Anyone have a similar experience?
I don't think the card is going bad as I can still play movies from it. I think it might be a setting issue.
Quick update. I can navigate to my SD card using My Files app and play the files but the stock music player or 3rd party music player cannot view the files.
Ended up reformatting and restoring sd card. Its a bit annoying since the phone was able to read the sd card still.. just the apps was not able to see whats on there.
I've read a few threads here, but cannot find an answer.
Is there any way for Google Play on my S8 to play my music off my sd card? I have about 80gb stored on my sd card, and don't want to load it into the phone.
If not, is there any music player app that does? I've been reading so many blogs/threads with no joy! Thanks
Using Samsung Music for playing from SD card without issues.
as above or my personal favourite player is "PlayerPro" just make playlists from your SD card contents
Play music plays off the SD card on my device. I have it set to downloaded only.
My S8+ can see my 128 GB SD card in Device Manager and I can even go into it in the file directory. However, Play Music doesn't 'see' the audio files so I can't dial the music up to play automatically. Picking one track at a time to play is a bear!
I've relocated them to a subfolder called 'Samsung' on the SD logical drive, have pointed Play to my Micro SD, I've deleted and reinstalled the program and I've deleted the system cache to no avail. This is frustrating to no end!
Any suggestions that I've missed? Factory reset maybe. Seems too draconian though.
Thank you for whomever in the ether responds.
