Does anybody else have problems with 4.4 ROMs reading music on SD cards? I like 4.4 ROMs better than 4.3 but music is a big deal breaker for me.

Are you able to access your SD card at all or is it just the music that's giving you trouble?
Just the music. I can access it through file explorers, and it shows its mounted in storage settings

Is it all 4.4.2 ROMs? What music player do you use? Have you tried other players? Is there a setting in your player to select which folders have media? I know this is unfeasible as a fix but can you, through a file explorer, open a music file directly and choose to play with whichever player you use?
I personally haven't had a problem with my music on any of the 4.4.2 ROMs I've tried (Liquid, SlimKat, Danvdh's GPE, Gummy.)

I've tried 4 different players. I'm currently on Liquid.
Yes I can access them through a file explorer, but it won't play the whole song.
All my music is on External SD and can be played without any problems.
I was having this issue as well until I noticed there was a .nomedia file in the music folder of my sd card. Deleting the file solved the issue. I have no idea why it was there in the first place.
I went ahead and formatted the sd card from the phone, and its working well now
Still not sure why it was doing that, but I hope this helps someone else with the same issue.

I want to keep my music on the micro SD card to play on my phone, however the music player does not see these files. Is there any way to get the music player to see the files on my SD card to play on the phone? This was I don't need to waste part of the 12.05GB usable space for music.

I've no problem with mine showing up. I believe I had to reboot before they did, or maybe even reload the widget, but they're all showing in my player widget.

Guys I downloaded few songs from the net. Copied it to music folder of internal memory. Rebooted device. Still those songs are not being listed. Tried many apps like rescan media. Still no use. If I use file explorer it'll play using walkman. But still it won't be listed. It's in mp3 format. I'd there any way to update library???

I have a question regarding the twiz music player. I'm on jellyb and somehow my stock music player or the Walkman can't "see" some of my music even thought they're in mp3 format. I've tried renaming the damn songs and they still don't pop up. I am able to play them using es explorer and having it play through stock app but it's just not popping up. Any ideas of how I could fix this?

If you just put on phone you might need to rescan media. There are apps in play store to force a rescan. Then I had a problem in the past where a app was creating a .nomedia file so the media scanner skipped that folder.

Almost like deja vu. Having the same issue in either the stock music player or Play Music. Just moved over to Note 2 from S3 and didn't have this happen on S3. Tried unmounting and mounting external SD card so as to force a rescan, no dice.
So i just rebooted the phone, went to Music Player and it's blank, says i have no music on phone. While contemplating what to do next (including downloading a re-scan media app from the market) i just let it alone and a minute later all my music started showing up and populating. I guess it took its sweet time to re-scan or get it's head right.

Only other couple things off the top of my head would be go to settings and application manager find the music player and try clearing data. My guess is that won't work since it's multiple players. Other thing I know some songs I downloaded from a mp3 app before didn't show until I updated the id3 tag for some reason. The ones that didn't show had a bunch of garbage in the id3 mostly random symbols. Once they got corrected they started showing up for me. But that was when I had my epic touch. Hope it works for ya.

It is very strange that I can not make any media player play media files that stores on external SD card. I tried XBMC and stock music player and mobo player and found none of them can.....any suggestions?

Is your external SD card accessible for anything else? You didn't format it to NTFS, did you?
If all failes, check out the Jet audio music player from the play store and abandon the stock player.
I'm an avid music listener and found it the best player all-round...use the plus version now!
(I have tried a lot of them)
All my music and videos are stored on sd card I don't hav to make any changes to it shows by default in my stock player.

Reformat it again, in a PC. Use ExFAT.
any chance you may have a hidden file called .nomedia or folders starting with a period on your memory card?
folders starting with a period are hidden, and any folder containing a file named .nomedia is skipped when looking for media.
if you only just added those files to your memory card you might need to manually run the media scanner.

You need not have formatted the External SD Card....
Just go to Settings>Storage and click on Unmount SD card and then click on Mount SD card again.
No need to format...not need to take out SD card.
Quick and easy.....
Im on stock rooted 4.3 and my stock music player keeps crashing everytime I try to go the playlists section. I never had this problem with 4.1.2
I tried the usual fixes (clear app data and cache, force stop, reboot) but to no avail.
One thing I noticed was that when I go to my files and open the folder called playlists its empty. Could this be causing a problem ?

Might be your sd card...I had a similar problem with my gallery. ...every time I tried to view images that were saved to sd the gallery would force close.

Thanks for your response but im pretty sure the problem isnt the sd card as all my songs are on there and I can play them all just fine I just can't seem to access any playlists.

I've got the same issue.
I can play all my songs, but when I click on the playlist icon it crashes.
If I go to the songlist, I can select a song and go to add to playlist, then select a playlist and it will add it. I can then play the playlist whjile I am there. But if I go straight to playlists it crashes before it lets me select a playlist.
I have tried wiping data and cache.
I have also tried unmounting the SD card and running the player with just a few songs on the internal memory. Same issue - I select playlists and it crashes. It worked fine for 6 months before this proiblem started. Very frustrating.
