Hello,
I've noticed that some of my songs don't show on my Note 2, when I use sing Meridian. I transferred again the missing songs to the phone but even though I saw them for a while, as soon as I rebooted the phone they disappeared. I can see them with ES Explorer but they show zero bytes (look like broken links) and can't be played from there (normally I can play files from ES Explorer which will launch the music player).
I transferred again the files, with the same results.
Shockingly I found out that if I take the 64GB SanDisk place it in an adapter and stick it in my laptop, Windows will see all files with no problem and will play them smoothly.
I'm dumbfounded.
So as it stands I can't play a few tens of songs on my Note 2 (4.1.1) and can't even see the files, only with the laptop's help
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks.

I have the app Es File Explorer and have searched for my PURCHASED instant video movies by opening each folder in the kindle's directory. I can't find where instant videos are stored when one downloads movies from the cloud to their kindle. I want to either compress them or copy to a flash drive which I have a cable to my kindle to utilize the full 32 gb space on my device without running out of space and in addition to store all of my movies I have collected in the past...including home camcorder films...plus my music .
I was on the phone for 59 minutes with kindle support, being transferred three times to kindle tech to tier 2 support to instant video support. All I was told was that a typical SD instant video takes up approx 576 MB. They will refuse to tell me where in the directory I can find my purchased movies. Es File Explorer may allow me to compress these movies when I am traveling without WiFi if I can find the files in Es File Explorer's directory.
All I hear from Amazon is to leave my movies I purchased on my cloud and then download when I want to watch the movies. What they can't understand is there will be times I will not have a WiFi hot spot to download, such on an international flight, or a day at the beach, where I want to watch a movie.
I am not rooted nor want to be. Amazon customer service told me that their movies are copy protected. I have no intention of making an illegal copy except maybe a copy for personal use-- to store all my movies on 32gb class 10 SD cards and then carry Amazon Basic's cable from Kindle to flash reader OR to just compress my purchased movies using Es File Explorer.
Can anyone help me? Amazon won't.
thanks in advance. I wish I kept my old Asus transformer. I would not have had this issue because it had a micro SD card where I could have had stored all of my movies. A blue ray movie I copied over to my kindle took 8gb so even though I bought a kindle with 32gb, it only holds a few movies...and now my kindle is full.
looking forward to a reply. thanks
Right there with ya
transformer-girl,
I am in the exact same boat you are in. I have purchased a few movies, including a few that I purchased specifically for my wife. These were purchased through Amazon's Instant Video service, and I am an Amazon Prime member. I am really beginning to feel like purchasing this unit, and the Prime membership, was a huge mistake.
Like you, I'm just looking to move the movies off of the Kindle 8.9 to either my laptop or my network drive. I downloaded the same file viewer that you did. I've searched and searched. I've connected the Kindle to my laptop. I see the same file structure as when I use the ES File Explorer. Nothing pops out as being obvious that it is the movie file I am looking for. I tried using the amount of storage space which is listed for each directory as a guide, to no avail.
I'm not really interested in rooting the unit.
If anyone can help us with this, I too would greatly appreciate it.
If I had to throw a guess out it would be something like /data/data/com.amazon.instantvideo/files
I don't know if this is the right path or not, because I am on cm 10.1 now so I haven't got the amazon instant video app, but the directory may be something like that, I know that is where Google music stores its mp3s that you download from the cloud, which is very annoying. Eh when I said Google music stores it there I meant relatively, its going to be something different of course though instead of com.amazon.instantvideo. even if you find the files I have my doubts of being able to play the content on your PC, it could be in a weird format or have DRM in it, most likely it does have DRM, vlc might be able to play it but I'm just throwing a guess out. Feel free to tell me if its in that directory I mentioned or something similar, and like I said u will probably need root to access that folder, least I think I did back when I had Amazon os.

Here's the situation...
My wife wants to listen to music at work without using the data plan. She would like to have all of her music on the phone at all times. When she rips CDs (yes she still buys CDs) or buys new music on Amazon she'd like it to just show up on her phone. The CD rips and Amazon purchases go to a folder on a PC which automatically gets uploaded to Google. She has 9500 songs and a 128gb card so there's no space issue. I have tried two plans but am not happy with either one. If you have any ideas I'd appreciate it.
Plan 1:
Use Google Play Music. The only way I could figure out how to get all of her music to her phone was to create a playlist that had every song in it and then click on the download icon. That works but it's static. Any new songs aren't downloaded and she must manually go in and download any new songs. That doesn't make her happy. (Happy wife, happy life.)
Plan 2:
Use any other MP3 music player. Lots of good choices out there. However, maintaining the music is a pain in the buttocks. To get the files there initially I just put the 128g chip in my computer and drag all of the files to the chip. That works. But I can't find out a way to get new songs onto the chip without manual intervention. I thought I could use a folder sync application but none of them have the authority to write to the external SD card (thank you Google) and new files won't get to the SD card without a lot of manual hand holding. That's a no go. I guess I could root and then use a folder sync application but this is her phone, not mine, and I'm not going there.
So, if any of you have any brainiac solutions, I'd love to hear them.
Have you played with Samsung link yet? It will allow you to link your (her) phone to your computer (provided it's turned on and connected to the internet) so any new music loaded on to the computer will be available to the phone.

I use iTunes and isyncr. Haven't tried it with an external SD but does what you want. Syncs just new tracks. Only had iTunes cause I came from iPhone but to me is the best for managing playlists.

I went with plan 1. Turns out that to download music a playlist can only have 1,000 songs. I created 10 playlist to get all of the filed to her phone. Sending new music is relatively easy as there's a "recently added" playlist to use to download new music.
Plan 2 doesn't work well as KitKat and external SD cards are not user friendly.
I use SyncMe Wireless to transfer all files to my phone anymore. You can set a schedule to automatically sync any file from a shared folder on your PC to any directory on your device (not sure about an external sd card, i just use the internal storage). It's worked seamlessly for me. I just drop files in my "Send to Android" folder I made on my computer and in the middle of every night it will check to see if files need to be sent over. It can work in reverse too and send files from your phone to your PC.
Here's the link to the app

It's nothing too flashy but it works very well. :good:
Hi this may have already been answered but I'm having trouble locating any information on it.
When transferring from my laptop to my tablet, some of the time my files transfer fine while others won't.
Now before someone says the formats are different. I have made sure the file formats are the same.
I have included a picture of what is happening.
I have reformatted the sd and managed to get a few files on, then the same thing happens. Even previous files which have worked before come out the same way.
Please help me its doing my head in.
Can you explain what the photo is showing, It looks like you are trying to play a movie in some strange multi-windows player that i do not recognise, maybe even a streaming movie service, not copying a file from your notebook to your tab.
The only problem i have see is transfer times can me quite long, though windows transfer optimizations may be off by a bit, my brother-in law was copying a load of movies to his new 128gb, and he was getting estimates of 14 days copy time, for big transfers i take out the microsd card and use an adaptor and plug it in my notebook.
John.
Has anyone else had a Problem with NMI? ever since I updated to 5.0.1 I have not been able to get it to work properly with mt OTG to play movies or pics. When I connect it opens up and sees the folders but when I click on the folders it acts as if they are empty. I know the files play on my device because it worked on 5.0 but not on later versions. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times and have gotten the same results. I thought it might be file types but they are mostly jpg pictures, mp4 videos, and word documents or pdfs.
Working fine here on a stock N& running 5.1.1
NTFS formatted stick and jpg pics and mp4/wmv movies were all OK.
Hello all, i have tried today my brand new Gt3. It looks really good but I have issues copying mp3 files to it. For some reason the transfer always hangs after I copied over 10-15 songs. When it hangs the transfer stops at 0% and restating the app and or watch does not allow to continue. The mp3 files (I tried different ones) play well on various other devices. Any suggestions? (I have over 1.5gb free memory on the watch)
Update: I think I found it. It seems that the GT3 does not like songs with a dash in the name. The funny part is that it actually downloads it to watch (and plays it) - but any other song AFTER is not copied. After deleting the song with the dash in the name all is good...
