I was trying to play music with Google music but I can't find the songs on Google music, the songs that I have on my SD card.. why is that??
Epic touch phone of xXHELLBoy91Xx
i think this should help
Workaround to mount both SD locations on your PC. Use Multi Mount from the Play store. - Thank you Killaphatboy
Workaround for sd_external. - Thank you gershee
***FIX***
- Download/install DirectoryBind http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1410262
- Set up the source and target directories. (source: /emmc target: /sdcard/external_sd). save.
- Click on the little floppy disk on the left of the field you just added, it should turn green. this enables it!!!! don't skip this! it must be green for it to be enabled.
- Goto preferences and enable "Bind on boot"
profit. 
gallery and music now work.
It appears that you may have to rescan your media for this to work for some. If you are having problems with this working, try downloading Rescan Media in the market.

without restarting the phone. Is it possible? If not I need another music player app because it's lame to restart the phone each time I add a new title.
Im not sure, but I do have a workaround.
Just play the song using a file manager, and the music app will pick it up for indexing.

what if I add 100 new titles? No really, they only need one additional button to reindex! Functionality exists only the user interface lacks one button! So htc why such suffering?
How are you adding the files? Do you just drag and drop onto the SD card? If so the card gets rescanned as soon as you switch back from Disk Drive mode. If it's not then there's a problem.
For example if you connect via USB you have the options to charge only, sync, see it as a disk drive or use the device as a modem. If you see it as a disk drive the SD card is unmounted from the phone until you've finished. Then it's mounted and rescanned.

no it's not. You can put some files into a mp3/some_subfolder and restart the phone. Then start the music app and then rename this some_subfolder. The app is f-ed up. OK maybe unmounting the sdcard and remounting it is a workaround but it's dirty one.
ps I mount sdcard in a unix environment and do copy files. Then I switch back to inet sharing.
I've read that the Google Music app can now save music files to a selected location like an external SD card instead of only on device storage.
As I understand it, this feature only works with KitKat or select "older" devices - like the Galaxy S4.
I don't know if we Hercules users have a different APK, that is missing this option or if this option has been disabled in the apk via some sort of device detection.
If it is the first option, has anyone shared a copy of the KitKat apk that works on the Hercules.
Hello.
I have a problem. I have my own set of Call and SMS ringtones in MP3 format.
Unfortunatly when i connect my phone to computer in data storage mode (works like pendrive) phone access to SD card is severed and because of that ringtones are being set back to default ones, even if i disconnect my phone from computer.
Changing phone mode to media device is not an option.
The solution im looking for is a way to copy my MP3 track to internal memory and then select it as ringtone. With that if i would connect my phone to computer as storage device, my MP3 ringtones would remain because they are now in internal memory.
I dont have problem with copying MP3 to internal storage. My phone is running official Andorid ICS 4.0.4 with full root access (i have superuser and i can use apps like Link2SD etc.). Im using X-Plore app for file management, i can access root with both read and write.
The problem is even if i place my MP3 files in internal memory (tried a few of different places) when i select ringtone and then i press "phone library" phone wont find my MP3. Same happens if i want to play them in stock media player. It does not see them.
So my question is how to make my phone see MP3 files stored in internal memory?

you need to place you sounds in the corect folders
for ringtones: /system/media/audio/ringtones
for notification sounds: /system/media/audio/notifications
then reboot & see if you can choose them from settings/sounds..
if you cant then you have probably convert to the same fileformat as the other inside (i think its ogg), which is a simple task
Sorry guys if this has been asked.. Any idea to make samsung music player update its music list if we just copy new songs to folder ?
Thanks
Go to Settings, Applications, show system apps, find Media Storage, go to its storage memory used and clear all data.
Reboot the phone and let it rebuild the media list.
So how do you prevent it from happening again? Is there the right way of copying mp3 files so the system will add it properly to the media database?
I'm facing now the same issue ?
Found the solution.. just add music files to internal memory not the sd card now it will appear in Samsung music.. u can move them later to sd card and will work normally
Still having this problem on android 11.
Fix Missing Music And Files When Transferring Data To PC
How you ever connected your phone to your pc to transfer a file only to find when you open up the sd card folder on your pc the file or even entire folders are missing?
Have you ever opened up your music app only to find it can't find your music on your sd card?
Well this app will scan your entire sd card and find all those files and make them available - a job that the inbuilt android media scanner should be doing but doesn't always work.
Instructions
Download media.Re.Scan: media scanner for android2.3 to 7.1
Open app
Tick all the relevant boxes if not already ticked
Click start media scan
Note that the media explorer will force close a few times - just keep clicking to reopen it
once done all your files will be visible on your pc via usb and in 3rd party apps
Can you please add Android pie support?

Ask the app developer - details on Google and page
All it does is trigger a manual refresh of the media library - restarting your phone should have the same effect
