Play Music using OTG/USB - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi. I have a separate micro sd with my music on it. When I plugged it into my S7E Nougat via usb connector, my native music player cant see music files. I can only play one music at a time when I go to the usb directory. I found this thread, but i am not sure if this will work on my S7E N. http://https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-usb-otg-support-media-players-t3343706.
Other options found is to use other music player like Poweramp, etc. but actually, I like it to be played using Samsung Music player.
Kindly help on how will I able to achieve this. TIA

Anyone know a good music player with playlists?

I used to keep my Ipod Nano in my car hooked up with an Aux cable but my Ipod's screen died so I ripped all my music from it onto my hard drive with different folders corresponding to different playlists i had set up.
I remember setting up playlists in the default android music app but they disappear everytime i flash a new ROM.
Ideally, I would like a music player that is able to use the playlists I have setup in Itunes but I do not mind making playlists again as long as they save the playlists on the SD card.
Anyone know of a music player that saves the playlist on the SD card so if I have to hard reset, i dont lose the playlist?
Thanks
Hey, this might be something you're interested in.
The app Audiogalaxy allows you to stream audio to your phone from wherever you setup the server.
You just download the app and download the server from the website and you can use whatever folders you set up with the helper.
I have access to all 60gb of my music as long as I have a data connection streams great. : )
Winamp... Also, if you d/l winamp on your computer you can sync it with itunes and your itunes playlists. then you can also sync your phone with winamp. At least I am pretty sure that's right.
Sweet, I will try these out after work!
I like the sound of this. I'll try it out now
I like stock Samsung player,but if you want something different i recommend DoubleTwist-its nice looking,simple and has streaming.
You could try the MiUi music player found here on xda.

Use Meridian. You can back up your playlists using the Play Q tab. Simply export your current playlists to the play Q. You can export the play Q lists to the regular playlist tab after flashing new roms. I love that feature
Also with winamp, you can push your music to your device over a wireles network, no cables needed!
CM7 ON MY EPIC!
RE: best music player with playlists...
I've tried a few music players and have to agree that Winamp is really good (and free). It just got a update and I think improved it a lot. The playlist function is really well done. I'm going to have to try the wireless transfer. Thanks for that tip!
Mortplayer. Its the bomb completely customizeable.
cd's or tapes?

Music Playback Issue

Hi All,
Anyone else having issues with MP3 playback using the defaul music player (and also using the Cubed player? About half of my mp3's on the device stop playing after about 1/2 a second. I initally moved my music library via simply drag and drop into the device storage from my Win7 PC. I then deleted the entire library and tried syncing via WMP. Made no difference. Files play back fine using PowerAmp. I'm really digging the new android Music player though, and would love to get it working properly. Any ideas on what's causing this?
Thanks,
Tony

Locating USB music

So I rooted my Nexus 7 and installed stickmount. I plug in a usb stick with music on it and Astro file manager finds it at sd1. I can tap on a song and choose a player and it plays but I'm having trouble getting a player to find the music without tapping on individual songs. Help would be appreciated.
I got zero answers to my question on two forums so I decided to download the nexus 7 Media Importer. It works and I can import media on an
SD card or USB device without having root. I can tell it to stream the songs but unfortunately it seems to stream only one at a time despite choosing multiple songs. If no songs are choosen the stream option does not appear. So am I right that, at this time, there is no way to play music from a USB or SD card except by choosing and playing one song at a time?

Best music player solution for OTG/USB drive?

I have a rooted Nexus 7 which I'd like to use in conjunction with a large external USB drive as a high-capacity music player. The music player provided with Nexus media importer is pretty basic (no playlist/search functionality etc), so I was wondering whether anyone had any good ideas for turning the USB/OTG media player into a more "native" style solution. For example, is it possible to mount the USB drive so that it would be visible to something like Doubletwist?
Your rooted so get stickmount to mount your drives and use poweramp to play your music!

Thanks for that. I just quickly installed Stickmount and it's mounted my USB drive fine, but Google Music and Doubletwist don't see it. Is there a decent music app that can use USB mounts?

Can anyone comment on which of these, if any, are good at handling large music collections? (5,500 albums, >80,000 tracks). I use DoubleTwist for this reason.
For my large music library I use jetaudio and avia. but that's on my Toshiba Thrive. I hook it up to a 250 gigabyte external hard drive. on the next 7 I do not yet have an OTG cable. So I can't say for sure. Hope this helps.
I was able to point PowerAmp to my music on an OTG Usb thumbdrive. It streamed just fine.

Yeah, as long as it can read an OTG pen
I did not find a player that recognizes my USB Drive, but i could open the folder with my music with Astro, then chose to open a file with Folder Player and all files from the folder showed up in the player! So i can play them, but of course Folder Player is very limited (cannot change order of tracks, can only have one folder open at a time...)
EDIT: Winamp is able to find and play the files and playlists on the USB drive!
Hi guys,
I have surfed the web about this matter for a certain time. Finally, i found the following android apps which can detect USB OTG and play music without root well:
- Music Folder Player Free
- Player dreams
- n7player Music Player
- Neutron Music Player
- Folder Player
- MortPlayer Music
You can download them via Play Store. I tested them on my Car Head Unit which has Android 4.0.3 OS firmware. All of them were ok.
Just i don't know why "n7player Music Player" crashes and reports Force Close message when you have so many mp3 files (e.g. more than 2000 music files) on your USB.
