Lol this is weird, the stock music app refuses to open any FLAC files, it doesn't even detect them. I'm on MiFavor 5.0 so that might as well be the problem. Can anyone send me the stock music player apk from stock G or U firmware? Thanks
Are the files on SD or internal storage?

Internal. I even tried to open them with a file manager and a toast appeared saying that the format was not supported. It was supported on G firmware. That's why I ask for the apk
I downloaded two albums in flac format. Stock player on my G has no issue with them.

Phone is rooted and at first no problem, could play music from the embedded player. But now whenever I install a ROM, it says no music found. I have plenty of .MP3 files loaded on my SD card. What gives?
Same problem, with my android
I'd say try putting all of your MP3s into a folder located at /sdcard/Music/
Even though I'm running a modified version of CM6.1 and have music in multiple folders. Both on the root of the sdcard and in subdirectories of random folders... All of them still show up in the stock music app :/
Have you tried rebooting? or an app that rescans the SD card for media?

I would rescan the card
Whatever I do the music app or any for that matter, just doesn't read the music off the SD card. Dunno what else to do. Tried formatting the card and naming the folder "Music", still no success. I'm not rooted, only got my phone about a month ago and exchanged it already but still the same problem. Does anybody else have the same problem? How can I fix it? Cheers
Are other apps able to pick up your music?

right dude, copied some songs on to sd root and it worked (finally!!!) but would prefer to have all the music in a folder. so when you say media folder what exactly do you mean? renamed my music folder to both "Music" and "Media" and it didn't pick up any of them. Any idea how to get it to read my folder music?

Does your folder either have a period at the beginning of its name, or does it contain a file named ".nomedia"?
Android will ignore any music/image/video files in a folder that has a period at it's start (like ".Music"), or any folder that contains a file named ".nomedia". (and any sub-folder it may contain)
Dude ur a genius!!! That ".nomedia" bastard of a file was in there. Cheers man

I got my GS4 in Australia and recently flashed the latest HongKong stock rom. Everything works fine except the gallery app.
I am using Sandisk Ultra 64gb sd card. I have put some photos and songs into the sd card. Most of the songs are shown in the music app, just a few are missing.
However, all other photos in the sd card do not show up in the gallery app. In "My Files" they do!
I have tried re-format the sd card, using another sony card, reset the system and even exchange for a new GS4. This problem still keep annoying me.
Does anyone have any solution for this?
Update:
I used to unmount the sd card from the phone to transfer files. But today I used the usb cable to connect the phone directly to try see whether the problem solved. However, I found that there is some problems that are not related to the card. I am using Windows 8. There is pop-up window when I was transferring files into the sd card part. It is basically asking me whether copy the files or not because the device may not able to play or show these files. But I am just putting normal jpg files. What's wrong with that?? Is anyone know how to solve the problem?
Solved:
I get the problem solved by re-formatting the sd card using my S4 and I must use usb cable to transfer files so that all files are visible on my device. But it is too strange that they are invisible if you use other methods.. Also when I was transferring files, the windows warned me that those files may not able to view in my S4 and ask me whether to copy those files or not.
I just cannot understand what is the problem.

No... checked it a couple of times.
It is a directory called Photo's wit a couple of sub-directories. Strange because Quickpic gives no problem. But I want to use Gallery on my S4.

Thanks for the help M8 but it doesn't seem to work. Only Quickpic works. But as I told you I want to use Gallery with all the features in it.

Anyone else with a suggestion
Anybody can help us with this?
It is really strange. Even my Music Albums from the sd card show up and photo's do as well in Quickpic.
The only problem is that Gallery does not access my sd card.
Solution would be great!

Thx m8... will give it a try. But first backup my sd card
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.

Done all as suggested still the problem persist... transfer the music files to pc and transfer back to phone after, its still a no go...
