I've been having a problem with my brand-new tmo G2. I used to have a G1, which was a great old workhorse for two years. In September, my pos iPod stopped working, so I bought a 16GB SD card for my G1, mainly for use with my extensive (10GB or so) music collection that the 1GB card that came with it couldn't handle. Fast forward to xmas. I got a nice, new G2, and one of the first things I did was stick my microSD card from the G1 in so I could listen to my music. However, all that shows up on the Music app is part of the music on my card. Obviously the phone sees the music on the card, all the songs in the Music player are in the same folder in the microSD card as the rest of my music. I have no idea how to fix this, can someone please help me? I'm also having issues getting my old photos/videos from the same SD card to show up in the Gallery...
I also have the same. Didn't seem to have a problem on my nexus one 2.2.

I'm guessing some of your music is DRM protected. Lots of my old iTunes downloads are DRM while the new ones are not. That might be why you can't play them. It's a pain but you can convert them by burning to cd in iTunes then burning the cd back to mp3.
edit: have you tried formatting the card and copying the stuff back on? I haven't had any problems with my G2 when swapping sd cards, so maybe try formatting or a different card just to test it.
I'll try that but my phones perm rooted and flashed with sense maybe its a problem with the Rom rather than the songs?

everything on my G2 doubles up i hate that Im On GingerVillian V1.5
So I was looking at my dropbox today, I currently have a massive 2 photos on it.
I just cant seem to think of useful things to use it for, no point putting music on it as I cant listen to it from dropbox, I dont bother putting my photos/camera shots on it cause well my phone has more then enough storage to hold what I have maybe in the future I will use it to back up old photos if I ever run out of space.....
I just cant seem to think what I could use it for ...... any suggestions or maybe im missing something about it ?
Didn't use drop box before the hox though I had it long before the phone. Now I'm using it daily. Always good to save some important stuff there when I'm on my way. What if my phone gets broken and I lose all data? Lucky me I have them on drop box. Use it as your sd backup, pictures, music, data, anything. I don't use my pc anymore cause of that

Don't use dropbox myself but I do use google drive. It (cloud storage) is really good for sharing files from your desktop/laptop to your phone. Like PDFs.
Of course, it depends on your internet connection.
I thought dropbox was useless till like a tool I formatted sd without backing up lol saved all my photos also syncs to my pc saves me using the USB.

Yeah just imagine what you'd be annoyed about losing if your phone is lost or stolen. Plus is very very handy for sending large files to people that are too large to attach to email.
Upload to dropbox and simple email the download link.

After I have synced about 6GB of music to the 32GB SD I can se all files synced (using double twist). Then I disconnect the usb and the SD will prepare. After this, there is only a small part of all music available. After reconnecting using usb as diskdrive, the same small part of all music is visible, the remainder os gone.
What is wrong here, and how do I work around this?

I would say this was caused by write cache, you synced the files but they didn't get transfered yet, (background process) 6GB is a lot of data and could take 5-10 minutes or more depending on your hardware to copy. Maybe you need to wait longer.

something similar had happened with me few days back. I think I resolved that by loading few videos from gallery or manually opening them with the video player Via es file explorer and telling it to play with stock video and music players
this happens due to media server crashing likely due to some corrupt file.
thanks so much, i have followed ur method but didnt work for me , im doing a backup and format the card and see how it goes

I'm having the same problem! Started this morning. Only thing I noticed that was different was that a few apps auto updated while I was asleep which might have caused the problem. No media files on the sdcard are showing up in any apps other than file explorers and they are viewable/playable on stock apps through the explorers. I tried dismounting/mounting, restarting the phone, made a backup of the sdcard on the computer and formated it on the phone but still no luck. I tried moving the files to different folders in the sdcard as well as the root destination (if thats what its called, I put the files on the sdcard not within a folder) still nothing. When I copy a file from the sdcard to the phone memory only then do they show up, but moving them back to the sdcard does not fix the problem. When taking a photo, the file is saved in the same destination as my older files on the sdcard but the new image is the only one that shows up in the gallery. It's driving me crazy! Please help!
Apps that were updated included some samsung update. Could that have caused the problem?
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100. Not rooted.
I would try uninstalling updates for the video player from the App Manager. This should return the app to factory settings.

Thanks for the suggestion, but after checking the video player is version 1.0 and there is no option to uninstall updates. I checked the music player as well (version 5.0.5) and theres no option to uninstall updates too. I uninstalled updates for samsung push service and samsung link since I think one of those two were the app that was updated yesterday, but that didn't fix anything.
Rats. I have found the larger SD cards to be unreliable.

SanDisk 64gb. You think that could be the cause of the problem? Although the packaging of the SD card had android marketing all over it and said something along the lines of "formatted for android" or "made for android" don't really remember. I've been using it for almost 2 months now and it's been fine up till yesterday. Plus the thing that's really confusing me is that I can still access everything through file explorers.
I know I had a problem with my 32 and had to fiddle; but could always read it on my computer. I read somewhere larger fails more frequently. Almost gave up but it stabilized. I'm storing photos straight to SD but switch back to on device if I want to make sure I get the shots. No trust.

Try deleting the .thumbnails folder in the DCIM on internal sd card, another .thumbnails folder for video thumbs could also be deleted. Then unmount and remount external card. Might be good idea to clear data of media storage on settings/application manager.
Mine is 64 GB Sandisk Ultra too,

Thanks for the suggestion. After deleting both .thumbnails folders, clearing data from media storage in application manager and unmounting and remounting the external card, the only thing that changed is one song (that was on the internal sd) has finally showed up on the music player when it wasn't there before (which was a minor issue that was pissing me off so thanks!). The music and video files on the external sd however still do not show in the music and gallery apps but are still accessible through the file manager. I restarted the phone for good measure but still no luck.
I am using a sandisk 64gb card my videos don't show up in galary I have to use vlc player and they show and work fine.
Thanks

I cannot thank you enough! I have spent days trying to fix this issue, I have tried everything but factory reset but this worked. Thank you!
my fix
I had the same problem on my nexus 4. I ended up moving all the music I had from my downloads folder (or wherever else) to a folder called music that I had created in the media folder on my internal SD. This did not fix all my music but 6-8 albums are now detectable by my phone (any app). There are still however a few albums this did not work with and I have not tried this with a video file. I also used an app called ES file explorer to let me create and move files on my internal SD. I hope this helps some of you guys and if someone figures out how to get all media to become detectable please post.
What is Samsung saying about this issue?
i bought a 128gb micro sd card for my htc one m9. i moved all of my music onto the sd card but cannot play it on my phone. is there any way to fix this? ive tried to play it in the music app and the google music app but it doesnt show me any way to play the songs.
Are they recognized in file explorer? Any files on SD visible?

yes. when i looked on file manager it showed every song, and it would let me play them individually on either of the 2 music apps but will not let me get them on the apps themselves. i would not let me skip to the next song. i would have to look through all of the songs to find a specific one. it would take far too long.

Strange, may have something to do with the size of the card although I have heard it can accept a 128GB card. Is app on internal storage or SD? If on internal storage, shouldn't be an issue. Also, is music stored in music folder?
Try going to settings/apps/all/music and clear cache and data and then reopen music app to see if it finds your files.
I put all of the songs in the folder called google.music or something like that first and it didn't work, so I made a folder called music and that didnt work. So I tried formatting the sd card and moved the songs again and it didn't work. Just cleared cache and data and it didn't work. Also, when I look at the storage in settings it says there is music on the sd card.
Wow, looks like you've attempted all remedies. Do you have another SD card to try to rule out issues with the 128GB card?
Just buy a real micro sd card instead of the fake one.. the fake one won't work..
P.S. Your question does not relate to HTC M9.

what are you talking about? i did research to make sure that the micro sd card i bought was compatible with my htc one m9. not fake. and it clearly relates to a HTC ONE M9 as that is the phone i am having the problem with. ****ing idiot.

Same issue here, but I'm just moving my music on to the phone itself now and that works just fine. I moved my pictures to the SD card and the gallery app has no problem finding the pictures. It's just the music app that's having difficulty.
Strange that this is occurring. I have 800+ songs on my SD card (64 gigabyte) and the music app finds and plays them without issues
Genuine SanDisk...
Not a remedy for standard player but I can confirm Poweramp works perfectly from music on the card.
Yes, if you don't really need the greatest musics on the go - you can go with PowerAMP.. again if you only need the best from the life, and this is why you have habitually opted for the next HTC, then you won't depart your further amazing without NEUTRON..

also I have the same problem.
I had the songs to work well and suddenly I ran out of songs according to play music.
with another application "ES EXplorer" he can identify the songs and play smoothly.
Still, I prefer the Play Music but this does not identify any music on cellphone

which file system is on your sd card? is it formatted as fat32? it normally should work fine. try formatting it with some professional tools, not windows and try again..also don't format in phone, sometimes it breaks the compatibility...if you already tried on windows but not on phone try it with formatting on phone...otherwise do the step i told you on windows with a formatting tool for sd cards and format to either fat or fat32
Make sure SD is FAT32, try a player that lets you select a music directory such as PlayerPro or PowerAMP. Using a Sandisk 64GB SD as portable storage in CM13, and both these players (in fact many others as well) can see all the files without a problem.
try different music players, or make sure the file formats are supported, or the sd card could be incorrectly formatted?
