Help! I have been having major issues upgrading my Evo's SD card... I am going from stock 8GB to a 16GB and I thought the process was as simple as draggin everything over between them... but it isn't. The root of my problems is that I don't see my music (playlists) migrate properly. I have doubletwist and PowerAMP and neither of them are retaining playlists. I searched around and couldn't really find anyone with this problem... so here I am.

Well, think back, try to start from scratch like you did on your first 8 gb card...Maybe you need to do the files in the computer, not the phone itself.
well... uninstalling the music players and erasing their cache and deleting all the music and resyncing them after reinstalling didn't work.
I have a Desire running Froyo and have just bought a Kingston Class 4 32gb card.
Put all my music on it, about 20 gigs.
Playback however is jerky and full of dropouts, either with HTC player or btunes.
a) Is it the Class 4-ness? If so what class do I need to upgrade to?
b) Can I solve it by formatting the card in the phone? I just used it straight out of the box.
c) Can I help by partitioning of any kind? The card is unpartitioned.
Has anyone had a similar experience which they've fixed?
check if you have anything else running from your sd card
backgrounded games/apps
or take the card out then stick it in ur computer and in windows use the defragmenter
Thanks, there were all sorts of apps sneakily running, maps, radio, that kind of thing.
Killing them fixed the jerkiness.
Problem is, why can't you exit apps properly? It's very hard to know what's going on without laboriously looking it up in Settings every time
So I love everything about this phone so far except for all the problems I'm having trying to play music off my sd card. I keep getting errors from every media player that so & so file cannot be played. I've tried reformatting my card & that seemed to help at first but now it's happening again. I've deleted every .nomedia file I can find. Songs that I literally JUST played will for some reason not play the second time I try to play them. I can finish a song & immediately try to play it again & get an error. They're just regular mp3s, too. It's maddening. I doubt it's my card, it worked perfectly in my HD2 and in my Sensation. I'm kind of new to Samsung phones so is there some special way I need to format it? I formatted it in the phone, it should work. Is anyone else having this problem?
I tried out player pro and all the songs from my 32gb I used in my sensation play fine. Did you try that app?

I have not, I'll try it.
I still wanna know why this is happening though.
Edit: Damn dude, good call on PlayerPro. Works awesomely & has folder browsing just like I like :>
Anyone have this issue and know of a fix? I've formatted my sd card and moved music from pc to card twice now. Each time, only 4 or 5 of the hundred or so songs will actually play on my s2. I've tried using Apollo and PlayerPro, as well as another app or two. I get a "this file type isn't supported" sort of thing. I never had an issue with a 16gb sd card I used, but this one is 32gb. Not even sure that would be part of the issue. Any tips?

What format are these in? MP3? Do they have copyright locks? Somd companies such as Apple lock their music/videos so only authorized devices can play them.
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?
