I've noticed a re-occurring problem with AOSP roms. I've read in a few places that I can't think of off the top of my head, that state clearly that roms such as MIUI and CM7 read WMA (Windows Media Audio) files. I ripped a few CD's awhile back that came out as WMA files. Problem is, There has not been a single AOSP rom that can "see" the files. I click on the file in root explorer and it says error playing file or that it isn't supported depending on the rom. I've tried converting them. And it worked. It saw the files. But did not play them. It would just skip over them or just not play anything at all. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Why won't they work? I don't want to go back to windows as I'm on Linux, just to convert them with Real Player or something. If I could rip them again straight to MP3, I would. But I have a lot of songs in that format that, for whatever, won't work either. Any help, mods, tricks, tips, would help. Thanks

When I flash a new ROM and tell Google Music to download some music for offline, is it overwriting the old music I had told the previous ROM to download for offline? Does that make sense? I just don't want 10 copies of each song because I update ROMs fairly frequently.
Thanks.
That's a good question.. I guess the only way to know would be to download some, find the directory they are saved in, then switch ROMs and check the directory for duplicates.
I would imagine google music keeps a record of what it has downloaded and doesn't scan the directory. When you change ROMs this list gets wiped too and thus it redownloads the songs. Of course I could be wrong but I would imagine backing up google music data with TiBu and restoring it might fix the issue?
Each time when you flash a rom or remove the google account from the music app, the system automatically erases everything(music, album art, etc) back to the stone age. So each time when you flash, you gotta download everything again. It's a PITA for me because I have about 10gb of music in my playlist.

Yeah, I'm currently redownloading my 15GB of music with google music. I might just find the directory with all the files and move it, then use a different player or something. I can't deal with redownloading this every time I flash a new CM10 nightly.
/android/com.music or something similar.
I recently put some music on my phone and found that if I try to play said files through the stock music player it says that the audio files are not supported. This is bs considering they are in mp3 format and if I chose the files via my files or root browser, it plays them with no problem. Anyone know why this is? I'd like to avoid using a 3rd party music player app if at all possible. Originally the files were in the download folder on the internal "sd card" but I moved them to the music folder and still have the same results. If it means anything, I am running sextape's oc stock ma5 odexed with the perseus alpha32 kernel.
*edit*
Ok, I flashed to the stock ma5 deodexed rom and now this problem is gone. Not sure what the problem was but it is fixed now. Thanks for anyone who thought of any possibles explanations.
What's up ya'll? Alright, I've been having a little issue lately with AOSP/AOKP ROMS seeing all of my music. I have 832 songs.
I'm going to be using Poweramp full version and running the newest Pacman build. In my opinion Poweramp is one the better music players out there and more importantly here Poweramp gives you the option of choosing exactly which folders are chosen to be scanned. Now know matter which folders I chose, Poweramp would only find 326 songs. I've chosen all folders and also a full rescan but only 326 songs would be found.
So what I did from here is backed up the Pacman ROM and then restored my backup of the Touchwiz AXIS ROM which sees all of my 832 songs. Using WIFI Transfer Pro I pulled up all my folders onto my laptop. For those that don't know WIFI Transfer Pro is a pretty sweet app. I use it all the time to download ROMS onto my PC and transfer to my phone.
Ok from here I navigated to my folder labeled music and clicked on zip to create a Music.zip. Do not try to flash this, it will just abort. After the Music.zip is created I transferred it to my phone. The total size of my zip is 3.26 gigs. Make sure you have sufficient space on either your internal storage or external storage. I transferred the zip to my external SD.
From here I restored my backup of Pacman. Then went to the Play Store and put in a search ''unzip files to sd''. Found an app called ZArchiver. Using this app I navigated to my music.zip. Hit the zip and then hit Extract. The 832 songs took about 15 minutes to extract. Again here make sure you have sufficient storage for the songs to be extracted. Now go to Poweramp>Settings>Folders and Libraries and check the music folder. All my songs now show.
Now in closing I know there are A LOT of much smarter people here then I at XDA. There probably is a much easier and or faster way of accomplishing this. This is just something I worked on last night and worked for me. I have an idea as to why my internal/external storage isn't being read properly with AOSP ROMS but that's a whole other thread. By the way, I'm using CWM touch not TWRP.
I've noticed a few guys here and there in some threads recently that have inquired about this issue with media storage and AOSP ROMS so hopefully this helps a couple of ya'll out.

Clear data of music player and media storage. Reboot and wait 10-15mins.

Hi All,
After update to Lollipop 5.0.2 I lost some audio files.
The update to 5.0.2 was a normal "update" so I had no idea I was going to lose data, and I did not make an additional backup.
As it turns out, I'm not the only one who is missing some files. A friend of mine lost almost all downloaded MP3 songs.
For me it's not something I downloaded, but recorded. It's a few .wav files, and I really like them back!
And Yes, I'm willing to pay for it.
I have a HTC M8, but during root process, I saw it was telling me it's a M7 (???)
So, the phone is rooted.
I tried several recovery solutions (all just reading, not writing) and some can find some files, like a facebook .png that I recognise.
This means, there is still (useful) data on there.
How can I recover my files?
Is this just a HTC problem, or are there also other phone vendors who delete user data?
I hope.... and pray... and ask here

Have you tried Dr. Fone?
I've had good success with diskdigger

Yes, I have.
I am confused with the files it finds.
A lot of files, all corupt, none of it useful data for me.
I do know quite a bit about data recovery on a normal hard drive, but almost no info how it works on NAND flash.
I was not aware I had 105 times a .mov files on my phone, 3,5 GB... I dod not make them, or download them.
As dr Fone can not help me...
I am trying diskdigger.
This does find files, but also loads of files I was not aware of. (and not the files I need)
A lot of .zip files, and the strange thing is that they all seem to have the same data structure. (see zip.jpg)
Can any one tell me why I have all them .zip files and apk's?
Thanks!
I have all my music as mp3 files in the music folder. There are over 100 songs but only about 10 of them can be seen in the music player. I have tried installing a number of music players, including stellio, retro music player and google play music. Also, if I try to open the mp3 file from the file manager, it asks me what app I want to open it in, but then nothing happens.
I'm not sure if this is because I am using f2fs but when I was on stock OOS with arter97's kernel it was fine and then when I moved to the sultanized resurrection remix on nougat (which does say f2fs support in the op) this problem started occurring. I have since tried a number of ROMs, wiping all partitions and formatting data to see if that would work before transferring my music back to my phone, but each time, I get this problem.
Any help would be much appreciated

Did you check whether the files are corrupted? Do they play on your PC/Laptop? If they don't, then the files are corrupted.
They play perfectly on my laptop and when I transfer them onto another phone they play fine on that as well
Most important (surprise!!!): a log from boot until Music has been started.
Did you check permissions and selinux contexts? (adb shell ls -laZR /sdcard/Music >Music.txt)

adb logcat -d >logcat.txt

Put both txt files in a zip and attach it to your next posting.
For setting up adb see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/adb-fastboot-1-0-39-t3599008
I ended up just switching my data partition back to ext4 and then back to f2fs, then flashing oos9.0.6 and then installing whatever ROM I wanted and this worked, but if it happens again I'll get some logs
