Sorry guys if this has been asked.. Any idea to make samsung music player update its music list if we just copy new songs to folder ?
Thanks
Go to Settings, Applications, show system apps, find Media Storage, go to its storage memory used and clear all data.
Reboot the phone and let it rebuild the media list.
So how do you prevent it from happening again? Is there the right way of copying mp3 files so the system will add it properly to the media database?
I'm facing now the same issue ?
Found the solution.. just add music files to internal memory not the sd card now it will appear in Samsung music.. u can move them later to sd card and will work normally
Still having this problem on android 11.

Whenever I flash a new rom, I notice my playlists that were on my sd card are deleted.
I know I sometime add a song to the playlist using either Mixzhing or the android music app included with the custom roms, so I am speculating that when this is done the player generates its own playlist, storing it on my phones internal memory in some db file and deletes my old one.
This is a very...VERY...good question. I put a few m3u playlists on my sd card and when I flashed a new rom, gone. I think it has something to do with "Media Storage" because if you delete that in Titanium, your playlists are gone.

I actually tried to restore media storage using titanium, but it did not help.
I wonder about changing the permissions on it as a workaround but a pain in the a$$ to not be able to add songs using the music app to your playlist on the fly,
I've noticed an issue since I've upgraded to ICS. That every single mp3 on my SD is duplicated when my phone boots. This doesn't happen to mp3s stored on my phone.
Is there a way to get the phone to manually rescan the SD card?
I had this problem too and wound up switching to cm9. To fix it in would have to disable the mediascanner service (forgot the actual name), delete its' cache as well as delete the cache for the music app. At that point I would reboot and the music files would be re indexed properly. After a few days, the problem would recur. A workaround is to download poweramp which does not rely upon android's indexing service.
Good luck!

this is what solve mine:
you need to be rooted. use root explorer or ROM toolbox pro
Go to /data/data
Find and delete folder:
com.android.providers.media (don't worry it will recreate this folder)
Reboot.
Wait awhile because it is rescanning the external SD card
let me know if it worked
All,
Music player has all my songs id tags mixed up, undelated the music app and reinstalled it, same thing. Downloaded Poweramp and its taking forever to scan for music and seems like the music is not showing up with any tags.
Could my music be corrupt from all the flashing i'm doing?
Thanks!
More than likely it's the database that's corrupt. Try deleting data from the apps and try again. It could also be a permissions problem with the virtual sd.
I've deleted the apps itself and re installed. So it can't be the data.
how do I reset the permissions on the virtual sd?
Thanks!
Removing the app doesn't always remove the data - especially if the data is stored on the sd.
For permissions, try this:

Hello.
I have a problem. I have my own set of Call and SMS ringtones in MP3 format.
Unfortunatly when i connect my phone to computer in data storage mode (works like pendrive) phone access to SD card is severed and because of that ringtones are being set back to default ones, even if i disconnect my phone from computer.
Changing phone mode to media device is not an option.
The solution im looking for is a way to copy my MP3 track to internal memory and then select it as ringtone. With that if i would connect my phone to computer as storage device, my MP3 ringtones would remain because they are now in internal memory.
I dont have problem with copying MP3 to internal storage. My phone is running official Andorid ICS 4.0.4 with full root access (i have superuser and i can use apps like Link2SD etc.). Im using X-Plore app for file management, i can access root with both read and write.
The problem is even if i place my MP3 files in internal memory (tried a few of different places) when i select ringtone and then i press "phone library" phone wont find my MP3. Same happens if i want to play them in stock media player. It does not see them.
So my question is how to make my phone see MP3 files stored in internal memory?

you need to place you sounds in the corect folders
for ringtones: /system/media/audio/ringtones
for notification sounds: /system/media/audio/notifications
then reboot & see if you can choose them from settings/sounds..
if you cant then you have probably convert to the same fileformat as the other inside (i think its ogg), which is a simple task
Fix Missing Music And Files When Transferring Data To PC​
How you ever connected your phone to your pc to transfer a file only to find when you open up the sd card folder on your pc the file or even entire folders are missing?
Have you ever opened up your music app only to find it can't find your music on your sd card?
Well this app will scan your entire sd card and find all those files and make them available - a job that the inbuilt android media scanner should be doing but doesn't always work.
Instructions
Download media.Re.Scan: media scanner for android2.3 to 7.1
Open app
Tick all the relevant boxes if not already ticked
Click start media scan
Note that the media explorer will force close a few times - just keep clicking to reopen it
once done all your files will be visible on your pc via usb and in 3rd party apps
Can you please add Android pie support?

Ask the app developer - details on Google and page
All it does is trigger a manual refresh of the media library - restarting your phone should have the same effect
