play music has its own setting to use the external sdcard. Have you tried that?
My music (not GPM) has always been in Sdcard/media/audio/music/ I use the same on every device, poweramp picks it up here a treat.

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.
The movie players I have can all be pointed to external card but the music app does not have that option. Is there a good music app that I can direct to the external sd card?

I second the other - PowerAmp is great, however Google's "Music" app will definitely find and use music on the external SD Card. I had a problem for a bit and had to reformat my card in my desktop - after that it worked perfectly.
OK, I will try reformatting, whats best,FAT or FAT32?
I'd like to second the Google Music app. I use it and have all my tunes on my SD card. No issues.
I don't recall formatting it. iirc, I plugged it into the tab, rebooted, accessed it and it seemed to see it fine - removed it, moved some music to it from the desktop - plugged it back into the tab, rebooted and everything was fine.
Re-booting did the trick.
Either that or download SCRESCAN from the market and run it. It will refresh the SDcard. quicker than restarting if you tend to remove your SD card frequently.
Winamp works great for me.
google music is good, I just can't figure out how to trigger a refresh. It seems to eventually. Also, I plugged in an ipod with rockbox (looks like a hard drive) and eventually after several minutes it found that too.

Thing about it is that it uses the MediaScanner service - like most apps do - to locate files. For some reason the MediaScanner wouldn't scan my particular card until I reformatted it, but as others mentioned a reboot, a media rescan app from the market or sometimes simply insert / remove your card again will trigger the scanner to work.
i use lithium, not free, but hey if you play games i like the fact that you can set lithium up to play from 1 directory so you can skip the annoying game sounds
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 noticed, that the Samsung music player does not show music files which are stored on the external sd.
Is there any solution for this? Apart from moving the music to the internal storage or using another player app?

That is very strange, I keep all 320+ mp3 songs all on my external sd card
and the note 4 plays em all just like all the other android phones I have had.
Good luck!
Indeed strange. Just now I noticed that my music files are showing up twice. The ones in internal memory and the ones on SD card.
Interestingly not all music files on SD are shown?
EDIT: I think I got it. after removing every none-music file from the Music directory and its subdirectories everything seems to work now from external sd.
I guess there were some .nomedia files which were confusing the media scanner.
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.
