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

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.

Is there any way to separate podcast mp3s from Google music? My podcasts are infiltrating my artist list and recently played view.
I don't think so without changing the genre to podcast or something, though it won't get rid of it from the recently played list
Google does have it's own podcast app called Listen which is pretty old but works. You can dump also your already downloaded episodes to /sdcard/com.google.android.apps.listen/
Just an alternative
Is there a location I can store my podcasts where music spent search?

Put a .nomedia file in the folder where the podcasts are. You might meet to reboot afterwords.

also, if you use beyondpod there's an option to "share media miles" that's enabled by default. Unchecked it then clear user data for the media storage app and reboot/rebuild your library. Can't remember if there's an option like that on dogcatcher but ever since switching to beyondpod its the best podcast player in my opinion.

I added a blank .nomedia file using Root Explorer and rebooted, but when my feeds updated, they are all seen in Google Music.
I am using Doggcatcher at the moment.

I use doggcatcher too, and what I did was create a folder in the sd and named it .nomedia
I then moved all my podcast stuff there.
Make sure you go to doggcatcher settings and change the location of your podcasts to that location.
Next you need to go to app settings and delete all google music app data so it can rebuild it's cache and scan the sd card again.

I've seen some references to that online, but it doesn't seem to exist on my copy of BeyondPod (version 2.9.15). After going into Advanced Settings (which is hidden in a very WTF-esque manner), where it allegedly resides, there simply isn't a share podcasts / media files setting to be found.
Where do you find this beastie?

I know this is a really extreme solution but have you tried Pocket Casts? I used to be a huge fan of beyond pod also until I tried Pocket Casts. Its way more pretty and easy to use.

The thing with .nomedia files on ICS seem to work only after you clear the cache in manage apps-> all-> media storage
I switched to BeyondPod, which doesn't have this issue.
Thanks!

I second pocketcasts in terms of ease of use and appearance.
.nomedia file doesn't work with pocket casts, but creating .nomedia folder and moving podcasts there worked.

It's in 'Playlist and Widget Settings' these days.
I tried .nomedia and it didn't work for me. I use BeyondPod and PlayerPro now. It has a feature to only scan music from a certain folder.

how to Run Google Podcast without Google App?
i have disable Google App, when i try to open Google Podcast it says it requires Google App.
Please tell how to Run Google Podcast without google App.
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??

I need to edit the tags on some MP3 files on my GS3. I've tried Tag & Rename, but it doesn't recognize the device when connected via USB.
Can someone point me to a good desktop app for editing MP3's on my phone via USB connection. I know there are some apps that can do this, but I have quite a few and doing it on the phone can be a strain. I would also like to avoid offloading all the files from the phone- editing them- and reloading them..
Thanks..

No go.. It sees songs on the computer just fine but not on the device..
Thanks anyway..
This app (DroID3Tagger) isn't a desktop app but a Play Store app that tags your music automatically, I've used it a few times and can say it will tag most songs accurately but does take a while to complete. It'd be easy to leave it tagging music files overnight.
you could try these apps. iTag and MP3dit (both in playstore). iTag helps you find album art as well

Doesn't poweramp allow you to do this ?
Hi all, is there ANY WAY to significantly reduce the battery drain caused by the media server process shown in battery info dialog box. It always goes very high when I play locally stored music or video files (yeah I know this process is connected to every sound the phone makes but still it shouldn't be so high while just playing music.
Is there any music player which doesn't use media server?
(Don't mind changing the stock one if the other one has current playlist home screen widget)

Use this app. I use it for some time without any problem. You just need to add phone, sms, clock & your music player to the "ignore list" to avoid problems. Enjoy

The recommendation from mauam is great, test it, it will work.
If you choose another player, use poweramp, it has it´s own media scanner and don´t need the stock one.
You have the choice now
Thanks guys. Will try these

OK I definitely love PowerAMP but i dont have a credit or debit card so i cant purchase it from google play. and when i download the unlocker from blackmart it says "cannot install package" (i had this problem with samsung email app and solved it by copying the secEmail.apk to system/app but what should i do with the unlocker.apk??)

Just got an M8 and noticed the HTC music channel on it--basically allows you to run the visualizations along with lyrics to any song you are listening to--be it through music player or Pandora, for example.
Daughter has my old M7 and I was wondering if it had the same option, sadly it didn't. But google is a good friend and here you go:
Step 1:
-Open ES File Explorer and make sure ES File Explorer has the right permissions. So from the sidebar, tap Root Explorer -> Mount R/W and make sure /system has RW permission.
-Open up default.xml from /system/customize/acc/.
Step 2:
Open the file (default.xml) with ES Note Editor, then scroll all the way to the end of the file to find the line that starts with support_music_channel. Change the value to true, save the changes, then reboot your device
name="support_music_channel">false</item> <---------------change to >true<, save file, then reboot.
After the reboot, open your Settings app and toggle on Music Channel. Now whenever you play a song through any music app, Music Channel will be activated and will display a visualizer along with the lyrics to your song, as long as GraceNote has it in its library.
Works but for some reason the on screen buttons don't respond
good to see that you fixed the button issue
option not showing up in settings.

Are you sure you typed it up right and, more importantly, saved the file?
Whatever you save must be exactly like this:
name="support_music_channel">true</item>

That's weird. .this is only what i could think of. .some songs might not get recognized by the gracenote database. .you could try playing the same song in the stock htc music player and see if you are getting the lyrics for that inside the stock music player itself. .also is there any option to update lyrics like there is in the stock player?it doesnt work with both wifi and mobile data?Also how did you guys get it to work. .the only thing to be changed is the support music channel parameter from false to true right. .maybe you could just check my screenshot in the previous post to see if everything looks alright. .Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
I wonder what all the other flags are doing.. I guess there's no such thing as a description or any documentation of them is there?
