[Q] Google Play Music App and SD Card dublicates - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I've got my new M8, I use isyncr to sync my music from itunes to my sd card.
My problem is, that I get a dublicate of every song in the google play music app: one for the "online version" and one for the file on the SD card, which is really annoying.
I didnt have this problem with my galaxy s3 and cyanogenmod 10.
Does anyone knows how to fix this problem? maybe it has something to do with the write protection on the sd card..
I tried the thing with editing the properties file, but it always resets after every reboot...
(My phone is rooted but without s-off, stock rom)

[Q] MP3's/files vanishing from SD card

Hi all,
First of all, sorry if this isn't in the right sub-forum.
My step-mum's recently got herself a Wildfire and wanted some music putting on it. My younger brother tried copying some music over from his PC but when he opened the default music player, no music whatsoever was there (including the rubbish that comes pre-loaded on there).
I connected the phone to my PC and the music my younger brother copied over was not on the SD card at all. I assumed he messed something up so tried transfering the music over myself but when I unmount the SD card from my PC and open the default music player it says it can't find any music. And when I reconnected the SD card to my PC, the music is no longer there
I've installed doubletwist but it can't find any music on the phone and I've tried repeatedly unmounting and mounting the SD card to force it to rescan. I really have no idea what's up.
Any ideas would be much appreciated guys.
Sorry for asking but I need to first off, try loading the music unmount from PC then mount to PC see if music there.
If not, problem is SD.
If yes, problem is wildfire + SD.
If its wildfire + SD try putting card in seperate reader and format with HP format program (will try to link at later date). If this can't be done use windows to format, file system should be fat32. Then put it back in phone load music app, demount from wildfire and load music into a folder named music.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. It turned out to be the SD card. I had a spare 1 which I put in her phone and it's working fine.
Glad I could help.

[Q] DHD not reading sd card

I've been having problems with my DHD not being able to read my sd card the last few days. I rooted it using aahk about 2 weeks ago so I dont think it has anything to do with that. the problem is that its only the apps preinstalled on the phone cant read anything on it such as music, gallery and camera but all third part apps work fine.
One thing I have noticed is that every once in a while when a go on gallery the thumbnails show for a split second but then disappear and it says no photo or videos found.
If I go to sd in setting it shows its inserted and I am able to unmount however I cant choose the erase sd card option as its in grey font.
I also tried another sd card but still had the same problem.
Has anybody else had this problem or know a solution? I did a search but nothing relevant came up.

[Q] Sd card problems. Mounted but some problems.

I just flashed cm10 20120925 nightly. Note that this is the first time i flashed a rom. So i'm kinda new. I put my sd card into my old droid x in order to move contacts and when i put my card back into my galaxy s 3 (tmobile). The s3 reads the sd card and mounts it but apollo music player just shuts down when i try to access the application. it says Unfortunately, Apollo has stopped working. It takes forever for to open up gallery and play a video from the sd card. I really dont know what to do.... any suggestions.

[Q] SD card issues.

I know with the introduction of kitkat or its recent iterations of 4.4.2 and so on, that there were some preventative measures taken to stop them from being written to. The question i pose is i have tried adding music to my sdcard i from my computer. The odd thing is that the sdcard will read as if it has something written to it but, in ES explorer my music folders are empty. I have looked around and nothing has been found. Other than the sdcard write fix which ARHD supposedly has according to the app i tried. The music app is use it Poweramp it will read the files but cant play them while HTC's music player will play them but only the first few seconds.
So am i stuck mainly using my sdcard mainly for pictures or is there away to get it to work pre kitkat. Also note i have tried putting the music on the onboard storage than move it to the sdcard and that was also a no-go

I'm unrooted stock rom and have copied music from pc to sd card with no problems. What folder is it you're moving the music to? I have a folder called music that I created and move any downloaded music into it. I can play it through the stock music without any problem. Possibly a corrupt folder or sd card? Have you tried removing files you want to keep, formatting then copying back your files?

I created a folder called Music same as the one on the onboard storage. It may be the sdcard not being recognized properly and files not being transferred correctly as well. The music on my desktop plays fine no skipping whatsoever. Its just once it hits the sdcard does it seem to go astray. Maybe a new rom is in order and staying away from ART.

Hi,
regarding what you said about being able to copy your music files onto the sd - are you also able to write into a file (let's say word doc)on your sd from your (presumably) windows-pc?
Thanks

If you have a USB card reader, try re-formatting the card on your computer.
I've seen several folks with various quirky and random read issues, and a simple re-format cleared it up, when the phone's own format feature didn't help. Also a common symptom, the SD card works fine on other devices.
Folks keep accusing the KitKat SD permission changes. But those changes only apply to write permissions, not read permissions. My gut feeling, its some quirk with the phone itself and something to do with SD formatting.

Reformatted from the phone. can not do it from my laptop because it says it is write protected. have not got a program to get around that yet. as for creating word doc, have not tried it. going to put it in wife's S5 and see if it likes it better and see if her card likes my phone any better . as for the card itself it is a Sandisk ultra class 10 32gig.

SD card crashing all the time

So here's the problem.
I bought a new SanDisk 64GB Micro SD card, Class 10 for my new HTC M9 phone.
My issue is that, everytime I reboot the phone i get a crash saying "Process System isn't responding". This causes that Spotify for example (I save all my playlist to the SD card) loses all his data and revert back to Internal Memory, deleting my downloaded playlist.
I have tried several ROMs, with the same results. The only ROM that didn't give me any issues was te Steam ROM back with my M8.
As far as I know it is not a crappy card. Anyone knows any tricks for this?
