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 have about 20GB of music in my iTune. Now just realised that my Samsung Galaxy S internal storage is too small for that. Therefore I think it must be stored on external storage card.
I've just downloaded a program called doubletwist. I have a few questions:
1) How do I turn on mass storage mode on SGS so that doubletwist can see it?
2) How do I tell doubletwist that I want the music to go to storage card instead of internal storage?
3) Has anyone of you experience problem when music is on storage card, such as skipping of part of songs?
4) Is it a better idea to scale down my music collection so that it fits into internal memory?
TIA.
Just wondering, can't you just copy the music files into a folder you call, let's say, music on your SD card, and start up the samsung music player? It'll recognize the files and let you play them.
Or is there any special reason for you to use DoubleTwist?

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.
Hi I can't play music from external sd, only works with internal sd. Any solutions?
Reboot and see for media to rescan
Oe use app to autoscan media in external sd
Or format external sd and put media and see again
Or use alternative apps for media as quickpic, mx player,google music
Or change external sd with new one
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
my 3110 plays music & video from exsdcard it should work.
I use MX Player for movies and Music Folder Player Free for my music files. Both are pulling data from the external SD card. Before I installed my copy of ParanoidAndroid, I had Jet Basic installed for music and it would see files on the external SD card.
guys is there a player that just loads the music files from music folder only and not the entire sdcard?
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.
Google play music and nor any other app is recognising music if i transfer it frm internal to sd card! Therefore games are movvinf 100% correctly but if i transfer music to sd card !

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.
