Music and Voicemail won't play

My coworker has an Epic and since I am the go to guy on Android phones she came to me for help. I've searched and can't find an answer to her problem and I haven't been able to solve it either. Basically her phone will not play music tracks or her custom tones and it won't play her voicemail either. IT says "sorry the player does not support this type of audio file" and on the google music app it says error trying to play. These are all songs that have worked fine in the past. It doesn't appear her memory card is corrupted because I was able to view her files and the pictures she has on them pull up fine. Also file explorer shows them.
The second issue is her voicemail won't play. I don't know much about sprint voicemail but when she opens it, it says "unable to play message".
So It seems that something is wrong with the stock music player and Google music player is having the same symptoms. Any help would be appreciated!!

[Q] DoggCatcher not showing all my media players. Why?

Hey guys,
For some reason, when I try to play a podcast in DoggCatcher (generally mp3's) when I select "play in external player", some of my media playing apps never show up.
In the screenshots I've got showing Doggcatcher, ES File Manager and FX file manager, DoggCatcher never shows PowerAmp, or ES Media Player as optional media players. It never has. I've tried the basics of uninstalling the apps involved and still nothing. Other than this, I love the app.
Anyone got any ideas?

Music transfered by ssh not showing up in Play Music

I have tried to transfer music to my phone via ssh / sshfs I copy the music to /data/media/Music and everything is there Mort Music can play it but it does not show up in the play music player no matter if I use sdrescan or turn my phone off and on. This is also the case for ringtones either in /data/media/Ringtones|Notifications or /data/media/media/audio/Ringtones|Notifications. However when I use airdroid the music show up fine.
I am thinking airdroid is loading the metadata in to something so Play Music know about the music similar to what I believe mtp does if you transfer via a cable (which currently sucks on linux)

N-7100 not detecting any media. Any help appreciated.

Hi,
I have searched around a lot and tried all the recommendations I've found, to no avail. My new N-7100 is working fine, except for one thing:
I have a 64GB MicroSDHC that is full of MP3s, as well as some JPGs and videos on the built-in storage. All of this media is showing up fine in 3rd-party media apps (Poweramp, QuickPic and MX Player Pro, respectively), but none of it shows up in the built-in gallery, video player, or music player. However, new photos taken with the camera show up instantly in the built-in gallery.
I have, amongst other things, tried resetting "Media Storage", Gallery app, forced a media sync using a store app... All to no avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.

[Q] How to save & stream music from the cloud? [Help]

This may be a ridiculous question to some, but for the life of me I can't figure out how you can save music using cloud services & then stream it using the stock Google music player. I'm trying to make some space on my Galaxy Nexus since I have a lot of music, so I saved my music to Google Drive but the only way I can play these files is through the Google Drive app itself.. So when I exit, stops playing.. I'm convinced I'm obviously missing something, so any help would be much appreciated.
Hi,
You need to upload your music to Google Play Music (https://play.google.com/music/).
Go to the website, log in with your Google account. You will need to download the Google Music Manager softwarre on your computer. Using it you can upload up to 20000 songs to your Google Play Music Account. Once you are done with that, you can use the web link mentioned above to access your music on the internet from any computer. Alternatively, you can use the Google Play Music app on your GNex to sync/download/stream music from your Google Music account.
I have been doing this for ever now and works perfectly (except for the slow 3G connection in my country).
