Today i downloaded some mp3 files over the internet on my nexus 6p but they aren't showing up in any of my music player apps including play music. The other songs which i downloaded when i was using marshmallow are showing up bit the ones which i downloaded today aren't showing up. I have to manually go through a file manager and play them. I am using DP4. Anybody else having this problem.
AFAIK
Do these:
1. Reboot the handset and let it scan media again
You can also use refresh or rescan option available in some audio/video players
2. Check if your media player is scanning that folder.
You can move these new media files in folder with others and try again.
Also make sure there isn't any .nomedia file in that folder.
Hope that helps you.

Tried my friend. But nothing seems to be working.
I've got the same problem with my nexus 6P, I've tried everything except formatting the phone :/.

I have a bunch of audio books I keep in /sdram/abooks and use MortPlayer which can be configured to use any particular directory.
Problem is the music player now lists my audio books. I want the music player to just list my music files (i.e. what I put in /sdram/mp3). I can't seem to find any way to do that?
Is there an alternative app that will do that? (will have to be in the free section of Market as the powers that be prevent us non-americans from searching through paid apps, go figure).

extract the attached file on your pc, then copy the .nomedia file inside the folder to those folders that you don't wish to have them show in either Photo or Music Player...
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the suggestion. Creating an empty .nomedia file in a directory seems to stop the media player from looking into this directory for media files. It isn't the best way to do it though, imagine you have to go through this process every time you install software that creates a directory on the sdram card. I can't understand the developers of the media player didn't at least make it an option to limit the search for media to certain directories.
I added the .nomedia file into the desired directories but the unwanted songs are still visible in the native HTC music player.
Is there a way to refresh the track list somehow?
same here, probably we've to restart the phone.
I solved his by connecting the Desire to PC via mass storage and disconnecting again. The SD card got "refreshed" this way
MortPlayer Music (free on Astroid Marked) lets you define a directory for music files.
is it possible to play alac music files on android, i have ALL my cds saved that way, and cant play them on my atrix, using PowerAmp pro if it makes a difference. If anyone can tell me how (if its possible) i can ammend this annoying flaw id be very happy
If you mean the .m4a format, my Atrix plays them fine. I use Winamp but it also works with the default Atrix music player.
If it's .m4b, you'll probably need to strip the protection off with a program like QTFairUse. That program hasn't been updated in a while though so if you're using a newer iTunes, it probably won't work.
Not sure what else is out there to strip it.
I know you can pay to upgrade your iTunes library to the m4a format but it can be pricey depending on how big your library is.
I just confirmed that Lossless doesn't work. My files were lossy. I ripped a cd in Lossless and it doesn't play. Same file extention as lossy (m4a).

Found an app called 'Andless" available on Android Market that will play them. It's an ugly interface though.
Found a few threads on google, but nothing here. All my mp3's are perfectly tagged, and have art embedded. In Music they show up fine, even in the 'last added' tab... but in the widget they do not show up..
In fact these mp3's are from Amazon, so I know they're ok..
Any ideas?
I have found album art only shows in the widget when it is uploaded to google music itself.
I had some music on the N7, all album art showed in the app but not in the widget.
Upload exactly the same files to google music and it all shows up in the widget.

Hmm how did you do that from the UK? Just comes up with 'We're sorry. The Google Play music player is currently only available in the United States.'

Ahh yep, was following this guide :/
Hmm managed to get into it on Tor eventually (once in about fifty attempts), but then the guide says once registered you can use from any location... but still getting same message from UK IP. Then I tried to get back in with Tor, and again, with a US IP comes up with the warning! Give up :crying:
Sorry, was about 3 weeks ago I did it, wonder if they blocked it? Though I am still able to upload to and use the service.
There's another guide here that does it differently: http://www.knowyourmobile.com/features/1207574/how_to_enable_google_music_in_the_uk.html
I will try to find the exact guide I used before to see if anything is different to the one I posted.

I have the same problem sometimes... but it does not bother me, as it goes away by itself.
So theres no way for music that is saved locally on my N7 to have its album art show?
i know a way around
just use tunnel bear
select us ip
login into ur Google account from there
and the go to google music
get the music manager
upload some songs
and now turn off tunnel bear
once activated ur google music auccount will not be disable even if u login from original ip
i know this cause i stay in India where google music is disabled and i got it working this way for my account.
Back to original topic
I'd like to know about this too. I have music both on my device and it's also uploaded to Google Play from my computer. Not having album art really bugs me for some reason. I live in the USA so I don't have to do anything weird with Google Play, it works fine.
EDIT: I figured it out. I went to my Google account and synced music/library. It shows the same albums but they have artwork note now.
With my previous S2, I never really played music, for no reason actually. But now I got myself a fancy S4, I'd like to give that a try.
I installed a (usenet) nzb app and downloaded a nice music album containing MP3s. They were stored in a folder on the internal storage called Downloads, and I moved the folder containing the music files to a folder called Music (also on the internal storage).
I now opened the stock Music app to play the newly downloaded album. Alas, that album was not found.
I tried the stock app Play Music, but the same thing. My highly anticipated nice MP3s were not in there.
So my question is: what the hell do I do wrong?
Need I to reboot the phone so it might rescan the files on the internal storage?
Need I to put my music folder somewhere else?
My wish is just to play some nice music with the stock Music app.
Thanks, for I am a noob.

Hi,
Silly question.
After you downloaded from usenet,did you unzip the album?
I make a folder called MUSIC , and put it on my sd card.
All music apps find it without issue.

I searched the play store and found an app called Rescan Media. This did the trick! After the background scan, my music files were found in both the stock Music and stock Google Play Music apps.
Thank you very much!

The only thing that work for my (No media scanner) is VNC player.
In my stock music app and in Google play music app I can only see 10 song out of 1700.
Sucks!
is there anyway to get rid of album art displaying in the gallery? This is so annoying
So far, renaning cover art to folder.jpg does not work Adding a .nomedia file into a folder will cause the mediascanner to skip that folder (and all sub-folders) so they won't show up in the gallery app. Unfortunately, that also means the folder won't show up in the stock music player either. And content lock, well, is the long and annoying way. There used to be an option to hide individual folders in my g3 and g4. :/
Some have suggested to stop using gallery or google photos, but installing an app to get rid of a problem that shouldn't be there to begin with!
Man how has google let this go on for long. heck my old iphone 3Gs was able to tell apart from album art and cameraroll.
Irritating isn't it? you could try a program such as Music Bee to embed the artwork into the music files, that way you won't need a separate image of the album artwork. I hate not having decent album art on my music.

Irritating would be a euphemism :/ All my artwork is embedded, its just too much of a hassle to go through each and every folder and delete every file! That plus, to much music to waste time to ensure all the artwork is properly embedded
Strange, my artwork does not show in Gallery. Not using Google photos though.

You could add a new file in the folder called ".nomedia" , this also disables music players from recognizing the music files though.
You can still manually add the music files in any player that supports manual adding.

Yeah though it sucks having to add a third party app ( I like to keep things default) for something that shouldn't happen to begin with.
