Hello XDA...just wanted to share about an annoyance of CM9 Apollo Player...mostly when mp3 files are being downloaded and moved to external sd cards...the Apollo Player gives error and doesn't play them...even after reboot...so i have got a simple solution for those who don't know how to deal with this....
Install "Rescan Media" from play store and run the app...it will automatically rescan media in a second without even notifying...now go to Apollo and run your downloaded music....it works!
Please hit thanks if this little tip helped you...!

Its not a problem with Apollo although it is a **** music player to begin with but with the media storage not being able to scan it yet or finished scanning and missed the file. Nonetheless if you use a music player like PowerAMP then you won't have that problem.

It would be better to download 20kb app of scanning media...who does scan your phone within 1 second....than having 2 music players...anyway

I believe you're talking about ³ (cubed) not 3.
How about you give UberMusic a try?
The best player is PowerAmp!

Not going to lie, PowerAMP was my first purchase on the Android Market and I am extremely happy with it.
The best feature for me is the ability to view my songs as folders since I already have my music organized by artist/album and I don't need the library. Anyone who's using their phone as an mp3 definitely needs to try it.

Hi everyone!
I want to use the stock Music Player app that my SGH-I747m came with but it doesn't seem to work when I drag and drop my music which are mp3s into /sdcard/music/ALBUM-NAME/all songs here....
It shows the same screen which is to add music, drag and drop from your computer.....
Does this happen for anyone else or is there a silly fix that I can't seem to do.
Thanks!
Michael

Forgot to mention, I am on my Mac (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) and installing Kies with the manual installation from the extraction of the pkg doesn't work for me either. So Keis isn't an option.

So if i understand you correctly, you are having trouble with playing the music after you load the music on the phone?
Of thats the case, just reboot the phone after you load the music. I downloaded music for example and had to reboot it to see the music in the stock music player.

Well I put the music in the /sdcard/Music/ALBUM-NAME/_______.mp3 and it doesn't recognize it in the Music Player app, even after several reboots. I am using the internal SD card (16GB) not any external card.
Put it here instead. See if this works for you.
It is the default area for music by the app.

Oh! It worked! Yay thanks!
Just now I see double listings of each Album in the "Albums" screen of Music Player... Hopefully this will fix itself...
NEVERMIND! I understand why!

Ive tried several different programs for video encoding my animes (mp4, divx, mpeg) but when I upload them and try to play them I get some kind playing error.
Now for music it doesn't matter what I convert it to it would play. For 2sec then skip to the next track..
I got tired of taking off the case and backing for the micro card so now i'm uploading with kies.

Guys I downloaded few songs from the net. Copied it to music folder of internal memory. Rebooted device. Still those songs are not being listed. Tried many apps like rescan media. Still no use. If I use file explorer it'll play using walkman. But still it won't be listed. It's in mp3 format. I'd there any way to update library???

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.
