Okay MOST of my music plays fine as a matter of fact all of them were working fine before I erased my library then recopied . It plays a sec of the song freezes then goes to the next I have tried copying my music twice with the same outcome. It would not bother me but it's KILLING my battery! Media is way higher then normal when playing music cause of those corrupt mp3s. Music is fine on my PC. I'm using a class 10 sandisk 16gb microsd card. Please help.

Try wiping cache and data for Media Storage in app management. Then reboot and give it a few min to rescan the entire phone.

Doesn't that just recreate the library?

Pretty much, but if you deleted all your mp3s, then copied them back, media storage will still be using its old info which can cause issues. I don't know why yet but the media storage/server just doesn't seem stable to me. I've seen it get messed up and hang, destroying battery life, seemingly just because media files were in multiple locations.
In the end, I recommended it because its quick and easy. If it doesn't work you're only out a few min time. And then I will suggest more inconvenient things to try. Such as make a backup and factory reset. Im doubting the actual mp3 files are corrupt. Its the way that thhe system handles them that's screwy.

I use isyncr to get music from my iTunes onto my gnex. Worked fine at first, then suddenly no music app except spotify will see my local music. Even after wiping media storage data, wiping phone itself, and changing Roms. Anyone have a clue what's going on?

I'm having the same issue only with Pictures... they wont show up in my Gallery. No answer to this yet, huh?
Make sure there is not a .nomedia file in those directories.

Just checked, there isn't. If I take a new picture it shows up, any prior pictures which are definitely in the same directory do not show up.
Have you tried Google Music Import from the Market?
I don't have a problem myself for music since I use Google Music but I have had that problem with the Gallery. I think it's a bug with the stock Gallery app, and the pictures show up fine using a third-party one like QuickPic. Not an elegant solution but it works.

After quite a bit of troubleshooting. (Clearing Caches, wiping gallery data, wiping media storage data, etc...) I've come to the conclusion that the stock gallery just does not scan for existing media. Not sure why, but it is what it is.
To save space I want to have my music in a flash drive. I can play individual songs but I want to know if there is way or an app that can shuffle songs that are on my flash drive if I have a folder with music only?

The only player that works with your requirement that I have tried is Poweramp. Winamp, etc. won't scan attached usb drives even though it is mounted inside /sdcard. Kind of weird I think. Will try jetaudio later when I get to my flash drive.

Jet audio will not scan flash drive
so far so good
Power Amp seems to work. I'm going to use a different flash drive and see what music it sees and see if the it saves the music on the device or not.
Hey anyone reading this I use my phone as my MP3 player aswell, and I use doubletwist to sync my music. I have a 32 GB MicroSD card, and i cant figure out how to sync my music the SD card rather than internal storage, any help? Thanks!

try foldersync. great app. also google music is pretty cool.
I do find Google music pretty cool, but I just listen to music for a huge chunk of my day and that active internet connection really kills my battery, also, if I'm not on wifi, or don't have full bars 4g, it seeks to be slow loading songs. Am I doing something wrong?

nah, your right. You can cache music locally. So in google music app you can select songs or albums and select 'keep on device' where it will keep them local and accessible without a inet connection. The thing is then you need to go in and do that for all the stuff you want to listen to which can be a pain if you mostly listen to things offline.
I do use foldersync too which syncs any folders I have defined whenever I connect to my home wifi automagically. I don't need to 'sync' or plug anything in. It just runs and works. That may be better for you. You can specify all kinds of sources to use (ftp, dropbox, drive, windows networking drives, samba, etc).
Wow thanks! Could I do this another way? My main desktop I use I have all my music on, and it can't connect to WiFi, would I just have to plug my phone into my desktop? I apologize I'm a total noob at this haha.

I have a question regarding the twiz music player. I'm on jellyb and somehow my stock music player or the Walkman can't "see" some of my music even thought they're in mp3 format. I've tried renaming the damn songs and they still don't pop up. I am able to play them using es explorer and having it play through stock app but it's just not popping up. Any ideas of how I could fix this?

If you just put on phone you might need to rescan media. There are apps in play store to force a rescan. Then I had a problem in the past where a app was creating a .nomedia file so the media scanner skipped that folder.

Almost like deja vu. Having the same issue in either the stock music player or Play Music. Just moved over to Note 2 from S3 and didn't have this happen on S3. Tried unmounting and mounting external SD card so as to force a rescan, no dice.
So i just rebooted the phone, went to Music Player and it's blank, says i have no music on phone. While contemplating what to do next (including downloading a re-scan media app from the market) i just let it alone and a minute later all my music started showing up and populating. I guess it took its sweet time to re-scan or get it's head right.

Only other couple things off the top of my head would be go to settings and application manager find the music player and try clearing data. My guess is that won't work since it's multiple players. Other thing I know some songs I downloaded from a mp3 app before didn't show until I updated the id3 tag for some reason. The ones that didn't show had a bunch of garbage in the id3 mostly random symbols. Once they got corrected they started showing up for me. But that was when I had my epic touch. Hope it works for ya.

Im on stock rooted 4.3 and my stock music player keeps crashing everytime I try to go the playlists section. I never had this problem with 4.1.2
I tried the usual fixes (clear app data and cache, force stop, reboot) but to no avail.
One thing I noticed was that when I go to my files and open the folder called playlists its empty. Could this be causing a problem ?

Might be your sd card...I had a similar problem with my gallery. ...every time I tried to view images that were saved to sd the gallery would force close.

Thanks for your response but im pretty sure the problem isnt the sd card as all my songs are on there and I can play them all just fine I just can't seem to access any playlists.

I've got the same issue.
I can play all my songs, but when I click on the playlist icon it crashes.
If I go to the songlist, I can select a song and go to add to playlist, then select a playlist and it will add it. I can then play the playlist whjile I am there. But if I go straight to playlists it crashes before it lets me select a playlist.
I have tried wiping data and cache.
I have also tried unmounting the SD card and running the player with just a few songs on the internal memory. Same issue - I select playlists and it crashes. It worked fine for 6 months before this proiblem started. Very frustrating.
