Right this is really weird but everytime I add new music to the SD card I can NEVER get it to add to the library, I have used the stock music player and also doubletwist but neither picks up the new music and auto adds to library but more weird still is that when I try to play through
Doubletwist it keeps saying "this file does not exist anymore" the only way to play them is by manually searching using astro

Are they in the MP3 folder in the sdcard?
Not sure if this will help, try an app called sdrescan it scans the sd card and refreshes the files list, if i download something and it doesnt appear i use sdrescan and then look for it again and its normally there.

Hey I just bought this phone yesterday (had the galaxy before)
and today i opened up the music player and loaded the songs from my sd card, but for some reason everything is (about 90%) of my songs are under the album "audio" with unknown as the artist/album. but then the rest of the 10% song are under albums...how can i fix this? its quite annoying now to find songs by certain artist since everything is UNKNOWN.
i also tried using another music player (pro player or something like that) and same thing
either your files lost the mp3 tags for some unknown reason, or something else is wrong there.
either case try out this great app

so is there any way to diagnose the problem to see what it REALLY is?
also is there an easy way to put the tags back onto the files?
OKAY SO I FIGURED THIS ONE OUT LOL
go to settings, applications, all, find 'media storage' click on it. clear data.
then go to settings and sd storage, unmount sd card. then once available, hit mount sd card. let it scan fully
then go to music player and all songs should be grouped into albums, etc etc etc..
someone can close this thread now and keep it for reference for newbies like myself who run into this issue
This is going to be my 4th time re-syncing my entire music library, which has almost 800 songs. I have been using DoubleTwist AirSync since I got my phone almost a month ago.
First time, the music from my old phone wasn't being recognized in my music players, so I had to manually put in all of my songs(I don't put all of the music from my computer on because it has my brother's music as well.)
Second time, a lot of my album artwork was missing. For some reason, not all of the songs from an album would be grouped together either.
Third time, happened this morning when my music suddenly wasn't being recognized. By lunch time, I noticed that all of my music was deleted from my phone.
I manually had to put all 800 songs onto my phone each time which took 3 hours last time I checked. That's because syncing through Wi-Fi is slow sometimes, and whenever I sync through DoubleTwist, my internet stops working for any other device or computer. I really wish I could put in music through USB. I'm putting all of my music onto my 32gb Sandisk microSD card by the way. I am using an iMac to sync all of my music also.
What should I do? Are there any other applications I can use, and does anyone know why this is happening? This is my only regret for not buying an iPhone 5. I am seriously pissed off because it's wasting so much of my time!
Why not just use Google Music Manager? It will upload all of your music to Google Play, then back down to your phone if you choose. You can either stream as you go, or flag the music you want to store locally. Manage your library from within iTunes and the Music Manager takes care of the rest. Access your music from the Play Music app.

I've flashed a ton of ROMs and never lost my music.... put it in extsdcard and use power amp to use the folder with your music for your library....

This!
I have over 3,000 songs on Google Music that I stream regularly. Art work gets wonky sometimes on new uploads but once I got it all situated, its good.

I have a 64gb card filled with FLACs of stuff I gotta hear 1:1 reproductions of, and have close to 200 albums on google music. Double flip sync twist whatever is junk.
I just put a bunch of music on my phone with Kies Air. I am having some issue with the USB driver not working any more.
It worked fine though. I moved all the music files to the folder that had the rest of the music in it. Are you sure they're going to the right folder?
What file formats are you using?
Why can't you use USB? (could be same issue I had, but with a Mac, but I can't know). Can you use a USB card reader or otherwise to access the external sd separately?
I moved the music with ES File Explorer after Kies put them on internal storage. They didn't show up at fist, but restarting the app fixed it.
It might be good to organise your music on your computer, too - make separate folders for you and your brother.

Use Google music. Yes, the app itself is not as featured as others, but if you use a good sound mod like awesome beats or Sony its worth it

Kies doesn't work on my iMac.
Regarding Google Music, does anyone know where the music is actually stored when you save it to your device from the Play Music app? I can't find the folder for it, and I need to fix a few albums.
Google Music is good if you can stream, but I've had issues with it and went back to the stock music player app and playing from sd card.
Kies Air is browser-based, it just needs java - I don't see why it wouldn't work on OSX.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I was using the application version before. But the browser-based Kies requires Java 7 to upload multiple files at once, and I'm on OSX 10.6.8, which only has support for Java 6 apparently.
So does anyone know where music is stored if you are getting it from Google Play? Music from Google only shows up in the Play Music app, which is very buggy for me currently, and I hate being locked down to one app. It isn't in any default music folder, so if anyone has any info, please feel free to chime in.
I don't think it's stored on the phone (aside from what's cached), just streamed, unless you've specifically made it available offline.
Check these out for information on that and how to : http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1250232 , http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1248950
Yeah, I meant when I've specifically made songs available offline. I think it's stored in the app itself though. I looked at the Play Music app under the App Manager, and it had like 8gb of data.
Easiest and fastest app I've ever used. Put your music in a playlist on itunes and just sync that particular playlist. Syncs my 5 gigs in 10 minutes.

Some of the songs I have can not be recognized by any music player but Solid Explorer shows them as there. When I put them on the phone they were recognized then after a reboot they aren't anymore.
This is driving me nuts. I just want to listen to me music. Any insight in to the issue would be greatly appreciated.
I have already tried rescan apps, clearing cache and data on the music apps and even formatted the card....nothing. it's only two albums I put on that do this, the rest are good to go but I love these two albums...must have morning music for me.
Sent from my SGH-I747M
are there any .nomedia files in those folders or in any of the parent folders where those two albums located? have you tried deleting files and recopying them?

Are they all mp3's?
Do you put those albums in a different place/folder than the rest of your music?
Did you try another music player?
No nomedia, tried using other music players, delete and copy works for like 5 minutes.....note the songs from those albums that do show up only play for about one minute.
Arrrgggh.

Disregard.....lol....they were labeled as .mp3 in the title name but when I went to properties they were .mpegs. That makes sense right?
Sent from my SGH-I747M
it only makes sense if you have known file extensions hidden and someone renamed the file to have .mp3 at the end. but anyway, glad you fixed your problem

So I got my 128gb galaxy. I downloaded a few albums using utorrent to my s6. When I first downloaded them the songs showed up in my music player and I was playing them. Last night phone restarted while I was sleeping and now those albums don't show up in any music app. I've tried both the stock one and jet audio. Also i tried a SD card scan app to see if that would help but it doesn't do anything. The files are still on phone as I can find them in the file manager. When I select one they don't play though. Something isn't adding up here. Any ideas?
No one else is having this problem?
Never heard of it, r u using cleaner apps? Those cud be culprits, if not, I suggest u do a factory hard reset
