I am using a 64gb SD card with my s3 and want to download my music to it. Aside from the no apps to SD card issue, the Amazon mp3 app lacks the option to save data to SD.
I moved the data folder to the SD card and music plays fine. After that, I renamed the amazon folder on the internal storage and tried a download. The app created a new folder and downloaded the album to internal storage.
Any ideas on how to get my downloads headed straight to the sd card?
Stock Sprint 32gb s3. Sandisk 64gb class 10 card.
Thanks!
I would like the answer to this as well if anyone knows
Pretty sure this is an issue with the app itself. I wonder if you could create a symbolic link to the extSD card to fool the app into storing the files there instead. Anyone?
What I do is everytime I download some music from AmazonMP3 is just cut and paste the music folder to the extSdCard. Not sure how the whole symlink thing works.

Just switched over from an Evo 3D and swapped my old 32gb sd card. Opening the native file manager, or Astro, or es file manager have all come up empty when exploring the sd card. Weird thing is that my pictures still show up in the gallery as well as all my music in the music app but not in any file managers.
Another strange issue is that I am unable to download anything from the browser, k don't know if this is related to the sd card so I am hoping to hear if anyone figured out how to get around this. Also, I am unable to mount USB dried when plugged into the computer. I appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Try exploring external_sd. SD is the phones storage and not the card you put in.

I am trying to get used to this as well! I think the folder named "sdcard" should ACTUALLY be the sdcard!

Does this mean done apps that utilize the sd card will have issues or even not work at all?
same question here...i have a sub dir called /sdcard/external_sd But if you want an app to use the SD card it will use /sdcard, not the external_sd...so is it a total waste to put a microsd card into this phone, since I will only be able to utilize the space if i manually copy **** to that directory????
If you move an app to the "SD card" in the manage applications it will move it to the actual SD card. It won't put it on the internal storage.
i have akon rom installed. i have music on a sd card but im not sure how to access it.
im using astro file manager, and im looking through all the folders but non are my sd card folder with the music.
make sure you go to external_sd as that is the actual sd card, sdcard is the internal phone storage.
Are there any hacks to force Amazon MP3 to download songs to the external SD card?

Just been looking at this too. Thought I could get clever with Android being basically Linux and move amazonmp3 to the external SD then do a symlink. But of course, durrrr, the SD card is in FAT32 format, which doesn't support symlinks.
amazonmp3 does recognise music on the external SD card, so I suppose you could move all the existing music across and then use some kind of automation (probably llama?) to do an overnight move of any newly downloaded music from virtual to external.
Bit of a kludge though. We could do with a cloud service that'll let you specify where the cache should go.

Not so much the cache, as I'd like purchased music downloads to go on the sd card so PowerAMP can read them.
I've just been moving the folder manually every few months.
So here's what I did:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with an old 2GB microSD card, bought new 32GB micro SD card as an upgrade. I wanted to transfer the 2GB microSD card's contents to the 32GB one. Didn't have a PC/lappy with me at the time.
- I created a folder called "SD" in the internal storage and moved all files from the 2GB microSD to that folder
- inserted the 32GB card, moved the contents of the "SD" folder to the 32GB card
Now here's the problem :
- after all these, some of my games no longer have their icons, and when i tap them i get a message saying "application is not installed".
What could have happened here?
Most probably there are (were) hidden files that didn't get transfered. It is best to use a PC to transfer data. I did it 2-3 times and it works 100%. Also, if you had games installed to SD card - you have to move them to PHONE and then back to new SD. just copying the SD card won't do the trick. Or use Titanium backup to back up apps. Copying SD card works for data/app data, various obb files for games etc, but not for APPS that were moved to SD card.
Hello folks, I bought my M8 3 weeks ago and it is rooted, unlocked bootloader, latest TWRP, stock sense ROM and elemental x kernel. I initially purchased a 32gb Samsung evo sd card but found myself maxing it within a few days with movies, then i bought a 64gb Samsung evo sd card and assumed all was well. I formatted the card and ran the external sd card patch app from the playstore which granted me write permission to the sd card (it is not possible on stock htc kernel but ss soon ss i flashed elementalx kernel it allowed me to write any data to the sd card).
But the problem is whenever i download a movie via utorrent and set the download path to the sd card, it downloads fine, but when i use my file explorer to check the sd card movie download folder, it shows the movie folder name but when i open the folder there is nothing inside or someimes it doesn't even show the movie folder at all, almost as if it was never even downloaded but if i switch back to utorrent, the movie is 100% downloaded and is uploading.
Sometimes, it actually downloads and i can see the movie in the folder, but when i click on the movir, it says 'Sorry unable to play thid file'. I have use astro file manager and es file manager, i have used diceplayer, mx player sand bs player. I don't think the file manager or the the media player is the problem. When i open settings and go to make more space, 10gb of my sd storage is being taken by these files but they are nowhere to be found on my sd card storage using a file manager. But i know these movies are on the sd card because it is taking up gigabytes of space.
I've tried to reformat the sd card, factory reset the phone e.t.c. but i am still having the ssme issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Guys, some assistance would be appreciated. Some of my downloaded movies are showing and some are taking up storage space but are showing up empty in the folder.
