Android Music Player

hi guys... i really need some help with my music player. im using stock music player and i have class 4 16gb microsd card with 1788 mp3s. when doing a search from stock music player, some songs doesnt show up... i also tried it in poweramp library but still no luck..

I dont think the stockplayer support those musicfiles which makes it unable to read it.
Convert it to mp3 and try (if it isnt already).

are you using .m4a or .mp4 container on your phone? sadly, Ace does not play well with these formats so i converted them to mp3 instead.
btw im using fla.sh rom (KPN based)

its an sd card problem, just format it and put those songs in it again and it should work

No, you're wrong, all my music files are in .m4a and it plays just nice on the stock or any other music player, the only thing is, it shows as Unknown Artist, but, there's an app on the Market called MediaFix that correct this issue and you can have the media info back.

guys i dont have any problem with my tags... im just having trouble with search function in music app

[Q] Music player bug

The problem is while i'm listening to music and open the gallery app the player stops the song and start the next.
I am on stock rom and using stock music player, could this be because my memory card? Or just too bad phone for multitasking?
Thanks!

its not the multitasking bad phone for sure.. that's what i can say... i do that and much more all the time....
move your music player to phone memory, then you will be sure its not the memory card
and as the last step try another music player... there are many good ones ... i personally use Uber Music

The music player and the gallery app is on the internal storage, maybe i try to reformat my card, on my desire, recording 720 also lagged, then i reformated my card with 32 swap and now it works.

Ok so i find it out, the gallery app listed some avi files which caused the problem, i put a .nomedia file inside the videos folder and now it works.

Memory

One question!
I have put a 64 gb memory card in my phone, no matter what videos I put on it, won't be displayed, if I go to search I will then find them by file name but still not be able to play any of them, this picture will explain what I see, is this normal as we can't put anything to sd card? Or do I have a bad memory card? Many thanks for your help guys.

I personally never heard of a glg and lvl extensions. Maybe you need to rename those to the correct extensions. Samsung probably has the best stock video player out of all the other manufacturers including apple. It will literally play 99% of video files. The only time I had issue was with audio not playing on a file with dolby dts audio for which I downloaded BS Player to play. (BS Player visual quality sucks though compared to the Note 2's player) Good luck!

The problem is 64GB Card most likely ... they are still not perfected and you will get bad apples a lot !
Plus support on kernel side is flaky at best

Can you play the default video from the gallery? Perhaps try mx player from play store? Also try recording a video and see if that plays. the extensions in ur screenshot are not familiar to me.

ghl is usually temporary file and lvl is game video file, you may not open with PC too.
I think some fixer are available to repair such file

Thanks guys, I have mx player, the videos work fine before I put them on that memory card,

Google Music Storage

Does anybody know where google music stores purchased music on your device? I am trying to transfer my purchase to a different music player on my phone as I dont really like google music.

I am having the same problem. I found the files and copied them over but the other players still don't pick them up.

Copy files from there to your internal memory or sd card to use it with other players. data/data is a system folder so other players can't access it. Or better yet download google's Music Manager on your desktop and download mp3's to your desktop and then transfer them to your phone.

Really f###ing annoying!

OK here's the problem
As you all know Google went the IDIOT route and chose to give us a 32gb and 128gb option
128gb sold out QUICK so of course some of us are stuck with a 32gb phone
So naturally I bought a type c flash drive to store my music
The problem is I can only play it through a file manager like "Solid Explorer"
Yes this works but it isn't intuitive AT ALL
You can't browse other songs while one is playing among other essential needs
I used the "USB Media Explorer" app and yea that worked but it is hideous
I wanted to know if there was a way we can get "Google play music" or another DECENT music app to be able to read the flash drive when plugged in
Anybody recognize this problem and have any luck so far?

Dude, Poweramp. Why would anyone use any other music player on Android? I've tried them all and it definately reigns supreme imo

yea power amp should work u can select the music folders.

RocketPlayer - because it integrates directly with iSyncr and allows me to rate songs directly on my phone, which are then passed back to iTunes on my Mac.
Why Poweramp other than because it 'reigns'?

I personally prefer Google Play Music since I have thousands of songs on there and don't store any songs on my device.

The entire point of this is to have files stored locally so you don't have to use a data connection to play them.

Well the way it reads.. he wants to play local music files.

Maybe he doesn't know Google play let's you store 10k songs on their servers... That's the reason the pixel is 32 gigs with no external storage... Google has cloud solutions for all media. And if streaming is a issue because your not on a unlimited plan then the 128 gig is the way to go or another phone.

Google really F'd up the ability to play music files from external storage.
I've been pissed about it for a couple years now.
There is some usb_stick_mount app that someone like Chainfire or someone else developed.
It helps a little but was designed for older images.
Dammit, I'm all pissed again now just thinking about how badly Google F'd up on this external storage (USB drive or USB stick) access.

Cloud storage is fine great and dandy, except it uses my data

True, but for the record Play Music has an option to play music stores locally too. It does work fine

I know Google Music has the option to download songs to external sd card. I wonder if the flash drive would allow that too.
Yeah, I hear the OP. I ended up giving in about a year ago and went all streaming instead of local files. I have Verizon and yeah I pay a bit more but I have a hefty shared data plan and my fiance uses very little of it, so I never get into trouble with data limits.

Why couldn't you wait until the 128 was in stock? That's what I did.

Poweramp doesnt let you choose the correct path
The music from a flashdrive is in mnt/media_rw and thats not an option
I tried poweramp and musixmatch

And for everybody bringing up streaming or cloud storage which also needs to stream
Im from NYC and im on the subway VERY OFTEN i cannot stream underground and i dont want to download my music from google play for obvious reasons
I bought the flashdrive in order to free up storage
I just want to be able to have a decent good looking music app play music from my flashdrive
I seriously dont understand how this isnt natively supported
