[Q] No new music - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Noobie again,
I have another problem to which I couldn't find the answer....
My Arc S (LT18i Andr. 4.0.4) doesn't seem to find any new albums I include to the music folder.
I connect the phone to my pc and drag and drop music albums to the music folder on the SD.
In the past this has worked well but it doesn't anymore...
When I reconnect to the pc the albums are showing in the folder but my phone won't find them..
What am I doing wrong??

[Q] Trouble with music albuns on Arc

Sometimes when I transfer a music folder containing an album to my arc, the music player divides the album in two. I have checked the music's mp3 tag and everything seems ok. It's really annoying. I'm using 2.3.3. Anyone is having this problem ??

Yes I have this problem as well also using 2.3.3 I tried making sure they all have the same art then restarted never worked but. It just splits my albums into 2 with the exact same name not all but quite a few.

[Q] Play All Songs in Media Player

I have a situation that i was able to play all songs from the beginning but after i added a new song,and got a album art for it,my music player can't play all songs anymore.It only can play 1 song in 1 album at a time.The next/skip button won't bring other songs for me.It means when i press next/skip button,it won't change to other song from other album which it could change before i updated the new song,but now it remains the same song like it has no connection with other songs.I tried to find the setting and pressed play all option,but it came out the same.Please teach me how i can make the music player able to play all songs again?Thanks a lot.
How do you guys play all songs in your media player?Thanks.
Open music and press my phone at the top hit albums and pick songs from the list then finally hit menu and play all.

They should be on your sd somewhere, just move them into a folder called music on the root on your sd.

There is no option. There is a separate folder on your phone for ringtones. You need a file manager app and then copy any songs that you want to use as ringtones into that folder...... or use your PC. There was supposed to be a built in ringtone editor in the player app in JB but it seems they pulled it at the last minute.
Or if you dont want to move files around you could download Ringdroid or a different ringtone maker.

Copy them to Ringtones folder or media\Ringtones folder... after you copy it will take few seconds-minutes before you see it in the list and sometimes I found it added instantly...
Good luck!
put your mp3 in the following folders on your "sdcard"
\ringtones\ for ringtones
\alarms\ for alarms
\notifications\ for notifications
Airdriod is a great app for easy ring tones and notification tones as well as other great features while using your computer browser and remote management of your android devices.

[Q] .mp3s in Music folder aren't showing up in Music app?

I don't understand why. I've put other songs in there that have worked just fine, but I've added the new QOTSA songs on my phone and they won't show up in the Sense Music app. Not sure what the problem is.
mp3 tags, check that
via ttalk
Re scan your media files.

Just use any media scanning app from the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clypher.mediascanner&hl=en
or use the media scanning feature in "Trickster MOD" if you have root access..
Happened to me a couple of days ago. Noticed that the music not showing in the library was copied over the Wi-Fi and not using USB cable. Deleted the files and copied them with USB and voalla .hope that helps.
