A while ago I copied some albums onto my SD card (in a folder called Music) and when I went into the Music App they all appeared and played fine.
Since then i have deleted one of the albums and copied in a few more but when i go into the Music App now , i only see the original albums i coped a while ago, ie i still see the deleted one and i dont see any of the new ones.
I loaded up 3 (cubed) and this does the same
is there a music library i need to refresh or something?
fixed it myself, a dismount and mount of SD card worked, i guess a reboot would have done the same job
Well, after the 2.3.3 update OTA, whenever I take a photo with the camera it says : Picture couldnt be saved, and it doesnt appear in the gallery app, although it appears in the SD card in the proper folder
Also, album art grabber doesnt detect my SD card, but other apps do and it works fine overall. Any ideas on whats going on? Thanks for your help
maybe gallery app with problem? look around that...
Ok, I am trying to make new a playlist that will stay on my device (razr m). I have tried to make one on the device, but you cant move the music around to make a specific list. Then, when you do take the time to do so - when the sd card is removed, you loose the playlist. I have tried windows media player and I keep getting errors of it not being able to sync several songs, which are already on my device.
Very frustrated!

I, too, have struggled with the same concept. for whatever reason, this app best works by creating your playlist online, and then syncing it to your phone - in turn, it will download your songs and place them in the internal storage. you'll notice that the size of this app increases as a result.
the app still recognizes songs stored on your external sdcard though.
my only other thought would be to use other music apps like winamp.
edit: just found this, and I'll try it tonight. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...e-all-google-play-music-external-sd-card.html
update: this process worked for me! I was now able to free up more than 1GB of space on internal storage by moving my songs to the external sd card.
I'm on CC4.2 right now and I've been usin it for months now, however today I rebooted my phone and suddenly all my internally stored photos aren't showing up (eg: gallery), only Sd Card media are shown. However I can still open my interal photos in their folders individually (DCIM, etc) I tried a media scan but no good. Earlier (yesterday) i tried the gallery app Lumiffic and it was enhancing some photos, but i stopped the process. Could it be the cause?
So I have my saved to phone file (music) and I have them attached to a play list. Then I set in the wear app to allow store on watch, pulled up the list and clicked the playlist I wanted to send to watch. Then on the watch I hit play Music and on wear, and the list shows, I then pick what I want and see a orange check on the bottom of the watch screen. What ever I do with that check, swipe or click it just goes back to the watch face?
Has anyone got the Music to transfer to the watch?
Yes, it works for me. Try to follow these instructions:

It takes a while to transfer the songs from the phone to the watch. In Google Play Music, you can go to Settings > Manage Wear Downloads and check the progress in the orange circle. When the transfer is complete, you should get a notification on your watch.

Thanks for the info, I actually found that same page & tried several times. I even get the watch to show the list and pick albums, playlists, songs, and then try that orange check and nothing.
Cleared cashe on music app, reset connections, and rebooted both devices. It all reads just like the web page except for the actual file transfer. I get error phone disconnected on the watch, yet when I go to wear app it is connected. Or I just see the watch go back to the watch face, no notification what so ever. Sigh.
looks like many are having issues, depending on the version of google play music. It also seems it has been broke, fixed, broke again. These things do happen when working on updates and such, I'll keep checking for an update. https://productforums.google.com/fo.../DGr1WPiy9Po;context-place=forum/android-wear
We found the issue, and I have music transferring now!
It is related to sd card, two ways to get past googles sd card failure.
1. put a .nomedia file on your sd card root folder, this will work if you have a third party music app that will allow you to choose an sd card folder so it still reads files.
2. put music files you want on internal memory and remove sd card until music is transferred. keep that music on internal when replacing sd card.
I believe this is an issue with googles sd card security, and you probably won't see this if you have marshmallow and have formatted the sd card the new way making it your secure memory. If you choose to keep your sd card as removable and usable elsewhere you will need to try some type of work around. It frustrates me but the way they are doing it is more secure in the long run. I just never put files that need securing on my sd card in the first place, just music, games, videos.
I'm glad it worked!
My phone is running Android Marshmallow and the songs are stored in the internal memory (not the SD card). Maybe this is the reason why I didn't have problems in first place.

Thanks! I'm super Happy with the results. I used the .nomedia on sd card. I have 1.4 GB now on the watch and I'm able to do my walking with bluetooth sound, without carrying the phone.
