Can anyone please help me ?, i have copied my music files onto my 64gb mem card i do not know how many times but they keep being deleted ???, this happened on the S5 900F with original software and i have rooted my phone and running Omega 1.7 and it still is deleting my music files. everything else is great pics movies are no problem. i have had all of the S series without any problems ???.
Are they getting deleted of the memory card as in when you open your file explorer and navigate to extsd they are not there or just from your misic player?
If they are disappearing from your music player make sure you dont have a .nomedia file in there. Songs wont come up in the stock media player if that file is in there.
Hope this helps.

Wow probably try copying all your files off the sd card to your pc and doing a format via the phone. Then copy the files back and see if that helps.
Possibly a bad format or bad card.

Hello, I have searched around for solutions for this problem but can't find anything that helps me; I have an 8gb external sd card with some music, files, etc. stored on it. There are three problems I have noticed so far with this:
The music files are not found by the stock music player or any others except Tinyplayer
Pictures stored on the external SD card only show up in the gallery until the media scan runs and then they dissapear, but are still accessible through Astro.
And I am unable to transfer files from the external sd to the internal sd
As mentioned above I can still play music files with tinyplayer and access photos using Astro but this is a very annoying problem! I have also tried formatting the card (FAT32) but this has not fixed the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Deleting this file solved my problem!
using astro you can copy and paste file from external to internal, but why do you want to do that?
after the media scan runs, the thumbnails will remain until you eject the external card again
using gallery picture viewer you can see external sd pictures
it use a music player called "player" way better than the stock player, and you can have the pictures anywhere and it will pick it up
The thing is I can't though, if I try to move a file from external to internal Astro brings up an error that says "Move Error - Move Failed".
When taking photos and videos I have set it to store them in the external card but after they have been taken they only appear in the gallery momentarily and then will dissapear even though the card is still in the device.
Save your files on computer and format sd from phone
Sorry I've tried formatting and the same thing happens annoyingly!

Find someone with a card and try with his. Yours might not be good
it sounds like the Internal SD card is the problem here, not the External
are you able to create any file or save anything into the Internal SD?

Same here with Astro.. If I try to copy with My Files works ok.
Media is OK (in Music app, Gallery, etc)
what ROM are you 2 running?
that doesn't sounds right to me at all
I copy and paste files often between external to internal SD card and viceversa using Astro File, and it works without the error message you guys have reported.
try upgrading to a newer version of Astro File
if "my files" app is working then it must be either a bug in Astro version you guys are running or a bug in the ROM
i'm on Astro 2.5.2
Saving files to the internal sd seems fine and I am using the stock ROM, not rooted or anything special!
I have found out I can move files from external - internal and viceversa using the My Files App! So that particular problem must be something to do with Astro, which is strange because I am also running version 2.5.2!
I still have the problem of not being able to see media stored on the external card through most apps though, so I will try @exadeci's tip tomorrow and put some songs and pictures on an alternative card and let you all know how it goes!
Thanks for the help so far though guys
do you have a .nomedia file somewhere high in the directorytree?

YES! It's fixed, I created a .nomedia file on the root of the external sd when I first got the phone and forgot about it, just deleted it and everything is now fine! Thank you very much!

Hi guys,
I have this problem from the beginning when I flashed my HD2 from normal stock WM 6.1 to Android on SD-card. I never could play the music through my music player . Recently I flashed my HD2 to Android NAND so i thought maybe this wil help. But still not, I see my .MP3 files on my SD-Card with ES File Explorer. Is i click on the file it plays in musicplayer but it doesnt save the track. So i have to click every song each time and when the song is done i have to click on a new one.. Maybe there is a solution for this.
Thanks guys if you want to help me.
Greetings Slagers
Hi Slagers,
I'm currently using the Winamp app from Market. When started, it searches automatically for new music on my SD card. Got all mp3's in the following folder: [SD-Root]\media\Music. Don't know if this is mandatory, but works fine for me.
Argui
I haven't had that problem. I just store all of my mp3s in a folder I named MP3 on the root of my SD card.
You could try unmounting then remounting your SD card or changing the location of the folder that contains your music files on the SD card.
I really don't know why you are having this issue.
Desperate
Thanks for a quick reply, but neither of your idea's helped. Im realy confused that im the only person with this problem
I shall explain my problem in good details this time.
I bought my HD2 from a guy, i had a little bit of knowledge about Android so I installed android on my phone. Next thing i wanted music on my phone and put like 10 MP3 files on my SD-card. I resetted my phone like a hunderd times but my music player can't find the files. When i search with a File Explorer i see the MP3 files and i can play them. They will open in music player but they see only one song. So that doesnt work. I hope there is some1 with the same problem and has found the solution
P.S.
I put the music files also on my phone card. Didnt helped either.
Thanks
This is a longshot...
I know you say you are using MP3s but are they really MP3s? It might be worth using a media converter and trying to convert one of them to make sure that they really are the right format and right compression etc (e.g. not .flac or .ogg or .mkv etc).
Try downloading any MP3 from your phone browser, reboot the phone and see if it shows up in your music player.
I've had the same problem as you this evening
It seems that Android is caching your music library *anywhere* But if you're using Clockwork Mod, you can boot into Recovery menu and wipe your cache partition. This includes the cache of the music library.
I would recommend doing a backup before, because I'm not sure of any side effects, when clearing the cache partition..
Regards
Its working
Thanks alot guys, its working now! Wooot im happy
I am facing same problem
HI I am very new to andorid.
and very much enjoying it. except the issue that My Songs are found when in Music player.
If I run them manually through music player. they work correctly.
Can you tell me what did u do exactly, to get it resolved?
I am a newbie so please bare with me and provide step by step instructions.
THanks in advance.
i would recomend you to reformat your sd card and see...first make a copy of your contents on your desktop them format your sd card FAT32-64KB
then copy it back
then rename you mp3 folder to music
Hey guys I want to copy flac files to my galaxy s4 and I just cant the copy, process stops at the first flac file I can copy everything else it asks do you want to copy and convert? i say do not convert just copy and it copies it to the phone then stops at the end, if i go on cancel the file is on the phone but when I want to copy the folder (400 mp3s and some flac) it thinks it's not there. Anyone got same problem? Kies also cant copy flac file any ideas? thanks
I don't have any problem copying .flac files to S4. Anyway, the fastest and easy way is to copy to your microsd card using an adaptor directly from your computer. This metod is 100% working without any trouble.

Are you useing MTP connetcion? im doing it with the usb cable from my laptop, also I cant copy to internal SD android/obb folder I think it has some kind of protection because I can copy obb to micro sd and copying rar files and extracting them on the phone works too, are you useing windows 8? thanks
I would like to sort this out because I will take it back to warranty, if it's the phones problem
I do remeber now..I do had problems copying directly from my computer to the microsd card directly. The PC Is win 7 ultimate 64. I got a lot of disconecting and reconecting in 1 or two seconds. I could copy files with retry button from windows but after a lot of I simply get my card out from S4 and I copied directly to. There is a problem, I guess with the drivers from samsung. (I never ever used kies, so I don't know if that way korks or not, but if it is a problem with drivers thr problem should persist)

Hi Guys
The solutioni s simple. There is a problem with audio video codec in the PC - doesn't have anything to do withthe phone.
Uninstalling (k-lite on my pc) solved the problem

Hey guys,
I just bought a new Galaxy S4 I9500 [Baseband Version - I9500JKUAMD9 Build Number - JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDE] + SanDisk 64gb microSD card.
I have a really strange issue with my music files, they are not recognized by the stock music player or any other player except VLC.
The mp3 files are on my external memory, folder 'music'.
The strange thing is that the players recognize only 10 out of 1700 songs, BUT when I'm browsing with ES browser to the mp3 files and renaming them, the music players recognize the renamed mp3s.
I've tried transferring the files by just copying them to the sd card and by using Kies, the same problem.
Can anyone tell me why do the music player recognize the songs only after renaming them?
Sounds more like a problem with the naming of the songs. Do a batch rename maybe.

I'm not sure but deleting them all and copying again might help. also you can try an app named "scan media" for recognizing media files.

I'm having the same issue.
EDIT: I found a fix! Go to root of ext card. Make folder named Media. Drop your music and picture folders in that folder. Should now be seen in the players.

Scan media with a media scan app from play store
Are the files in a folder named music? This happened to me once. The mp3's were scattered in the root directory of my sd card. So I made a folder named music put all the files in it and it worked. Dont no if it helps you but. Only thing I csn think of.
