OK, so I copy my new music over to the Desire, but it doesn't show up in the Music library.
How do I force the music app to rescan?
I'm copying album folders to SD\music, which is where everything else it does scan lives.
Am I missing something?
Restart the phone, or install SDMount Widget, unmount the card in settings and remount by clicking on SDMount Widget.
What USB connection mode did you connect the phone to the PC in? That may also have a bearing on whether the card auto-refreshes...

Anybody know how to do this wirelessly? I've tried dropbox but it only asked me to listen to the music not download it onto my memory
Sent from my SGH-T989
There's the Spotify App, which you need to have premium membership to sync over Wifi.
There's DoubleTwist and its AirSync which also work well, again AirSync is a paid app
You could potentially try the Airdroid app from the market, this one is free, if you only plan on sending a few songs because the transfer speed is super slow.
You can also do bluetooth transfer
If your music is in a shared folder
you can use ES File Explorer to connect to folder/PC to transfer files. It works very well and is very fast.
Use kies air.

If you long press a file in Dropbox and choose export, that will download it to the phone.

One thing about Android....hitting menu everywhere and long presses often give you options. Not as easy to navigate a some other mobile OS, but allows for more functionality.

That's usually what I do. If you don't want the file in your dropbox folder anymore, make sure you go back and delete it.

Costs to much data... I only have the 200 Mb plan. Rather have the real file. I only use Google music for the songs I don't listen to often

You can set it to download via wifi only and make it cache all your albums. It could work.
ROM Manager has been updated to correct a bug many of us were experiencing today regarding media on internal storage. For those who did not know, this was the cause and has been corrected. Everyone should update ROM Manager.

The update didn't work for me. Where should i manually modify files to implement a fix?

I can confirm that the new update does not fix the problem. ( 5.0.1.4 )
Go delete the .nomedia file from the root of the SD and check in android/data, there may be another one. If there is, delete it as well, update ROM Manager, wipe the media storage data, reboot, profit. Worked perfectly for me.
I reboot twice afterwards just to make sure, and all is well again.

This almost worked for me. I deleted the nomedia file from root SD and there wasn't anymore to be found. It took a bit longer for sounds and pictures to be seen again, however the native music app does not see any music. Yet I can find it using astro file manager. Any ideas?

Trying clearing the data of the music app and reboot.
Don't have an option for that. Unless you mean to remove my music directory and then re-add it. 'Play Music' has no options to clear or perform any setting without a song actually selected. And currently it just offers a button to click to teach me how to pit music via USB.

Not in the app itself of course...
Go to settings and find the app in the app list and click it. You will then get the option to clear data.
Ah yes forgot about that. Been awhile since I've had to think about that. Worked like a charm. Thanks all.

clear Media Storage data, reboot, and then wait until Music and Gallery refreshes all the pictures and musics. Oh btw, clearing media storage resets your ringtone very annoying for me...

I am having an issue probably not rom related where my music player wont find any songs. I accidently deleted the Music folder on my android. I quickly replace it with the same exact name Music in the same exact spot and added my music back into it. Now it wont appear.
In application manager clear data and force stop. Then open the app again. It should rescan for your music.

Didnt work man. Still same old songs and no new ones being added. Ive tried all the sd rescan apps still nothing. About to do a full restore really getting annoyed.
reset. wipe everything.
Two other things you can try first. Find Media Storage in app manager and clear data there.
Try putting the music folder elsewhere and rename it music2 or something. May scan the new folder...
Otherwise, yeah, probably factory reset is the best bet.

One question do you have a sdcard ?
If so make a folder called music on your sdcard from your computer and place the music files in there and you should see your files then.

Then profit.

No, you'll still be able to play the audios from within whatsapp.
They won't appear in the music player, though. That's what you want.
