I have been searching the xda as well as web to find a solution and have not came across one till now.
Currently i am on crdroid oreo, have tried other oreo and pie roms also, but the music files stored on the ext sd card do not appear in any music player. Wheras they are accessible through file explorer.
Any help will be much appreciated.

my windows media player won't add files from my memory card. when I try searching for files it finds a very large number of files but when it starts adding them it hangs then gives up. I prefer using the windows media player since I can use it with the htc home plug in as well as the ability to still listen while in standby mode.
any suggestions?
This is a common problem, find the folder MSMETADATA on your SDCARD and delete it then media player should rebuild the library correctly.
^cool, thanks that worked!

Can anyone advise what to do, I can't access mp3's on storage card from library mode of default media player of wm6. Or which other player can I use? & where can I get?
If your problem is that media player stop working when you try to refresh the library then the problem has been talked around a lot, the solution is to delete a folder on storage named MSMETADATA and try again updating the library...
nice
this worked like a charm!, just curious why this ends up happening??. any suggestion to avoid this again would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
I have installed Incubus26Jc's super eclair 6.1 which works gr8 except for the fact that it does not load any music/mp3 files from the 8GB microSD card. The default music player shows a few data files. I have tried placing the music files in the root folder but that did not help. Tried other music apps from android market without any success. Pl advice.
Thanks!
All.. It looks like I got a solution. Backed up my data from SD card, formatted the SD on my android phone & restored the data. Now all music files load normally.
Hi guys,
I have this problem from the beginning when I flashed my HD2 from normal stock WM 6.1 to Android on SD-card. I never could play the music through my music player . Recently I flashed my HD2 to Android NAND so i thought maybe this wil help. But still not, I see my .MP3 files on my SD-Card with ES File Explorer. Is i click on the file it plays in musicplayer but it doesnt save the track. So i have to click every song each time and when the song is done i have to click on a new one.. Maybe there is a solution for this.
Thanks guys if you want to help me.

Hi Slagers,
I'm currently using the Winamp app from Market. When started, it searches automatically for new music on my SD card. Got all mp3's in the following folder: [SD-Root]\media\Music. Don't know if this is mandatory, but works fine for me.

I haven't had that problem. I just store all of my mp3s in a folder I named MP3 on the root of my SD card.
You could try unmounting then remounting your SD card or changing the location of the folder that contains your music files on the SD card.
I really don't know why you are having this issue.
Desperate
Thanks for a quick reply, but neither of your idea's helped. Im realy confused that im the only person with this problem
I shall explain my problem in good details this time.
I bought my HD2 from a guy, i had a little bit of knowledge about Android so I installed android on my phone. Next thing i wanted music on my phone and put like 10 MP3 files on my SD-card. I resetted my phone like a hunderd times but my music player can't find the files. When i search with a File Explorer i see the MP3 files and i can play them. They will open in music player but they see only one song. So that doesnt work. I hope there is some1 with the same problem and has found the solution
P.S.
I put the music files also on my phone card. Didnt helped either.
Thanks
This is a longshot...
I know you say you are using MP3s but are they really MP3s? It might be worth using a media converter and trying to convert one of them to make sure that they really are the right format and right compression etc (e.g. not .flac or .ogg or .mkv etc).
Try downloading any MP3 from your phone browser, reboot the phone and see if it shows up in your music player.
I've had the same problem as you this evening
It seems that Android is caching your music library *anywhere* But if you're using Clockwork Mod, you can boot into Recovery menu and wipe your cache partition. This includes the cache of the music library.
I would recommend doing a backup before, because I'm not sure of any side effects, when clearing the cache partition..
Regards
Its working
Thanks alot guys, its working now! Wooot im happy
I am facing same problem
HI I am very new to andorid.
and very much enjoying it. except the issue that My Songs are found when in Music player.
If I run them manually through music player. they work correctly.
Can you tell me what did u do exactly, to get it resolved?
I am a newbie so please bare with me and provide step by step instructions.
THanks in advance.
i would recomend you to reformat your sd card and see...first make a copy of your contents on your desktop them format your sd card FAT32-64KB
then copy it back
then rename you mp3 folder to music
Hi, I'm currently on Build No. 910GDTU1BOJ4. Yesterday I had 'Unmount'ed my 128GB memory card by going to Settings > Storage. And after that without turning off my Note 4, I had swapped out the card and after copying a few more things from my laptop I reinserted the card into the phablet. It automatically remounted the card. Everything was okay but in Music Player I saw that the existing playlists were not present anymore. And since then I am not being able to change order of Sound Tracks in any newly created playlist. Whenever I'm trying to do so, Music player is crashing. I have already tried a few things. I have cleared data of the Music app in the Application Manager. And I have also tried 'Wipe Cache Partition' from stock recovery. But none of them worked! Please help me. Thanks in advance.
