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.

Hi, I have cleared data for "media store" app in app manager, now the music app is showing no media.
Why I did it, because I could not find some music files in music app after the 1.29. update though they were still there as mp3 files in the storage (also I have PowerAmp and it has no issues) I have restarted the device, but it did not help, also tried by activating USB mode to disc drive then back to storage again considering with this could work as mount/unmount and does the trick, but no success. I do not want to do a hardreset if it is avoidable as well.
Is there a way to force HTC music app to rescan storage for media files?

Download extended controls and you can have a toggle that forces a media scan.

You might also find a dedicated app in the market.. search for 'media rescan' and use the one that works best for you.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
have tried with 4 different apps from market but none of them solved the matter. There is not a such option in the music app, actually no "settings" at all.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
There's no command that I know of in the menus. You might need root to run it? But I doubt that.
Android should rescan every now and then.
You could also try clearing the media players cache.
also.. Power amp has this feature buildt in

I know, hv been using Poweramp since earlier, it is awesome, no any such issues with it. Also hv tried with clearing cache and data for music app too, no success. More interestingly, have also applied reset to factory settings, but still same. I think the only thing left to do, hard reset from boot menu, it will wipe everything.
Any other suggestion? before doing that are more than welcome.

just a thought, how about moving your mp3s to another folder using a file manager on the phone and reboot, it may pick them up that way
Yes, it did the trick.. not renaming the music folder or moving to another place using folder explorer app in the phone but created a brand new folder when connected to windows pc as storage and moved all my mp3s into this new folder, and finally it worked, thanks for the tip mate, it was so easy

We have been blessed with so many devs for the incredible 2, that it can be easy to flash a new Rom often. My question is this:
How can I keep my google music that I keep on the device to each Rom? That way I don't have to download it each time I flash a new Rom or update one with a full wipe?

Do you mean music you keep on your sd card?
It should be in the cache folder on the sdcard. /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music

Not exactly. It is my music that I keep on device so I am not steaming. So maybe yes.

I found that location. Can I I just copy and paste into another file on the root of the sd card?

Music on your sd card under mnt>sdcard>music, shouldn't be affected when you flash a rom.
If you recently flashed a rom and it is no longer showing up, you may have a media bug that seems to be going around. I would recommend reading through the rom thread to see possible solutions.

I am getting ready to flash another Rom. I copy and pasted the location above with the google cache the file seems to have all the music it is just all as numbers in a mp3 format.
So I guess I will give it a whirl and post back.

fyi...if you do have the same problem many of us had, flashing a rom may not correct it, but deleting a file on your sd card root called .nomedia may fix it even without a flash...
I failed :banghead:
I am going to try another file manger and see if I can have a better success copying and pasting.

You really need to be more specific with what you are trying to accomplish. If you are wanting google play music to just remember what music you have in your account, titanium backup works very well for me, I believe it also keeps the music that got cached by play music to play offline.
If it is music you proactively transferred to your sd card and your phone isn't seeing it, you need to reconsider my advice of searching through the rom thread for a fix. I don't believe you have mentioned which roms you have tried, nor did you acknowledge if you had looked for the .nomedia file.
Your correct,sorry about that.
I am trying to keep the google music cache. (i think). I have done something to tb in the settings or something to where it won't restore it.
Tb just has so many things you can do with it that I think I have messed some stuff on it. Maybe with having different profiles.
Maybe I should just clear all my data with it and start over. And then backup my phone three easy I have it now?
And no I have not found the nomore file. Would that be under the music or somewhere else in android?

The .nomedia file would be in the root of your sd, but that won't apply if you want to just preserve your cache info. Here is what I would recommend, although I haven't used profiles in titanium, so take it fwiw...
In each profile of titanium, tap on google play music and tap delete. Then go into manage apps, tap on google play music, clear data.
Then go into google play music, make sure it signs your account in, let it run the process of finding all of your cloud music.
When that is done, go back into each profile of titanium, backup google play music, flash new roms, profit...
I don't know if it will work, but I think it is your best shot.
Okay I still am missing something. I cleared all data in google music.
I uninstalled the app.
I cleared all data on TB.
I deleted all the files on the sd card for TB.
I reinstalled both apps and set it up.(meaning getting all my music to on device.)
I backed up everything.
Flashed new rom (ukb)
Restored my apps and data.
=fail it just installed the app not the cache, to tell google that it is there. Unless TB does not save the music? So now I am unsure what to do?
I guess I will have to get all my music in a folder and place it on the sd card somewhere (which in turn I am nit sure where; in order for gmusic to see it.
Any other thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Now that we have the leak for the dinc2 I am sure there will be some fun stuff to flash soon!

Im currently on the Rooted Stock FC09 rom and ive been having a problem with my music players not recognizing any music on the EX SD.. I also noticed on reboot that media scanner is not reading the EX SD.. Ive checked for the " nomedia" folder and did not see one..
Ive searched several posts, and havent found anything to help yet..
This happened to me once before.... basically your phone does not ever scan for media on sd card right? I don't think I found a way to actually "fix" it but I was told to try an app called media scanner (or something like that). It didn't help me but you can try it. If it doesn't work I think u may need a new rom or reflash.

The .nomedia can be a hidden file. Make sure your file explorer is set to see hidden files. View it on a computer if possible.

I've tried Lifeless v9 and v10 using TWRP and after the phone boots up and scans the media, none of my media players find music or videos. I've tried the native lg app and the apollo app included in the rom, but no cigar. If I use file manager to find the individual file it will play just fine, but the apps themselves don't recognize the media.
I'm certainly no developer but I'f flashed quite a few custom roms over quite a few devices and never run into this. Am I missing something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Doesn't a flash erase your phone because there is no sd card?

What is changing to a new rom going to do for him? If his music is gone it's gone... Unless I'm missing something? Why isn't your music on your computer or somewhere else? How did you get it on your phone, lol? If it some where and you can't find it, pull everything from your storage places and put them on your PC and search both files with in your computer search index and see if you can find them... If they are there, then create a folder named /music and you will good to go. If they aren't there then get new music or however you got them there in the first place.

I would start putting the music somehwere other then only on phone storage, just in case. I've accidentally wiped internal storage once, and I've had External sdcards go bad or just randomly out of no where lose all data in it. make a dropbox and do TiBu once a week and move them there your self with some type of file manager if you don't wanna pay the money for Titanium Backup pro. I also bet all your stuff is there you are just looking in the wrong places. What file manager are you using to look for your "lost stuff"?

Aokp is awesome ROM. I dont mean to be rude but if you think those files are still there (in your phone) ;install different ROm or restore backup and pull al data from it. And wipe both internal and external cards. Amd install aokp and enter those files again via PC.
