Same here, other music player also not working.. galary also not working.. this after flashing to Wakjk rom from CM 7 rc1.5....... Pls help any one, my phone is like dead now
I have my music on my SD card location: /sdcard/external_sd/Music but when I open a music player (I have tried the pre-installed program and Winamp) I cannot find them at all. I have to go through Astro File Manager to find the music and indiviually click on the one song I want to listen to at that moment. Once the song is over, I have do repeat the process all over again. The file plays just fine in both players, but the player cannot find the files on their own. I pulled all the info from my sd card, reformatted it and placed the files back in there and it still did not help.
Any of you have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Peter!
It took me awhile to figure out on my phone. When I mount it I get a drive for the internal memory and one for the sd card. When I put the music folder on the root level of the sd card it worked fine. Hope this helps.
I am using 64 GB external card. I have a large collection of mp3 songs in it. None of the music player can find the songs. I have tried the stock player, player pro and few others.
Mx video is able to find the video collection on the external card.

are none of the folders hidden?
folders in linux(and android) are hidden when their name starts with a period (ex: ".foldername") and in android folders (and any file/folder within that folder) are hidden from stock applications if they contain a file called .nomedia
and do the files show up over USB(MTP)?
The internal SD card is now merged with the internal memory, that's why App 2 SD is not possible on the SGN2.
I don't know if someone has found a fix around this.

Rebooting the phone should cause a media scan which will then pick up all the songs, provided you don't have a .nomedia file in any of the directories, which causes the scanner to stop.
You can also download apps to force a media rescan, but that shouldn't be necessary.

Tried everything but no music player has been able to find my music collection in External SD. Even office applications are unable to find the SD card. Any possible fix or solution for this?

Try Meridian player.
It has a 'folder' option which lets you manually navigate to any folder.
Perhaps it's the file system of your external card.
Try formatting the card in the phone, and then copying your music back onto it.
My phone has no problems finding all the mp3s on my sd card.

If you're rooted, then you can use a tool like Directory Bind to map folders between your phone and card storage. I use it on my S3 and my Note 2 to keep apps like Amazon MP3 from filling up my phone storage.

Formatting the card worked. "Silly Me". Sometimes simple of steps just throws you off. Thanks again everyone.
SOLVED!!!!!!
FINALLY, THE SOLUTION!
I scoured all over internet trying to solve the issue of any media player finding music from neither SD Card (internal nor external), even though file explorers did, so I will be posting this on every relevant thread I find.
This method worked for me, so results may vary:
1- Download Rescan Media (I used the root version):
2- Download Media scanner:
3- Go to Settings / Applications / All / Media Storage and clear data
4- Reboot
5- Open Rescan media and disable the media scanner
6- Now re-enable it
7- Now, open Media scanner and tap Start scanning
8- Voilá, now every player will recognize the music stored on both SD Cards.
*As I said, this method worked for me, so maybe just some of the steps above were necessary, but... anyway.
Good luck!
Ever since I rooted my note 2, I keep losing access to the external SD card. Trying to access through file managers or apps (music or video player) results in freezing/hanging. If I unmount then mount, I will briefly have access and it will play files as normal. After I watch a movie, I will not be able to open another file. I have to unmount and mount again.
I've tried just about everything I can think of. still need to reformat the card. Any other ideas?
Can you see files on your ext sd with a file mgr? If you are only having issues with media players finding music or videos, there are a number of free "rescan" apps in market. This just happened to me (i.e., alarm clock xtreme and stock music player couldn't find my mp3 files on ext sd)... Only took 30 sec to resolve by running "Rescan SD" app... now all my apps can find my media files stored on ext sd... something to try at least...

I'll try that. But the problem is with all apps including file managers.
I have the same problem. Everything worked fine for a month after root. Today i plugged in using a 3rd party charger and now the card wont mount or stay mounted. Ive used other 3rd party charges without problem. Could thisbe the problem?

Sounds like you sd card is going. Backup all data on the card to the pc if possible.

Hi
Using Xperia M SS rooted, swapped memory, Link2SD installed and working like a charm.
Now an issue started and searched through the forums but failed to get a CORRECT answer.
Here the problem is...
Walkman and power AMP not able to play the songs which are stored in SD card(16GB) coz the default folder for playing and searching music file is INTERNAL STORAGE - music folder.
If I add a song in Internal storage-music folder, then I'm able to see and play that particular song.
And I can't add all my 1 GB songs in internal memory because I need to free up storage and that's the reason swapped mem and lik2SD installed.
Please help me to get the songs getting played in walkman from the folder SD card - Music.
I searched for .nomedia file to delete and restated the phone several times after cleaning the cache and data from walkman. No go.
Any help will be highly appriciated.
Thanks,
Neildenver.
