I'm trying to move the app with all the saved playlists and it doesn't work. I found the videos folder but I can't find a way to pull the data

I'm experiencing the problem that after I download mp3's or photos by ftp or lan, that these are not registered in the music player or photos application. Also moving around my photo's doesn't update the photo albums.
I'm looking for a way to trigger the rescan of the SD card, similar to the process that happens after turning the phone on where you can see the photo app refreshing the images.
1) Is there a way to manually trigger this scan? A function somewhere, a widget or even a pointer to an android java call will do?
2) Is there a way to soft remount the SD card as in without pulling off the backcover as a workaround. I know you can unmount it in the phone storage settings, but can't see a way to remount it.
Also interested, but for the "Music" app. Copied in a load of MP3s last night, but they don't appear.
Get SDrescan from the Market
in which folder would I put in my music for it to show up at the music app?
there are 14 folders in the memory card and i dont know which folder to put in. do i put it in media?
I just put mine in a folder named "Music" but I am pretty sure anywhere will be fine
you will probably have to rescan your media if you are having trouble with new music showing up
so you just made your own folder?
Yep there isn't anything to prevent that and it has no repercussions
I can't seemt o find any reference to anyone else having this issue but,
for some reason all of my music apps on my device are displaying my tracks twice, in all views artist/genre/album etc.
I can assume this is something to do with the media scanner and/or music cache.
but I've no idea how to refresh this,
I've looked in dev tools>Media scanner, but you can't do anything from there.
Within applications>Music I have to option to delete all data, but to be honest I'm a bit dubious about doing that.
CAna nyone offer any advice for me here?, is my last resolution to remove files from SD card, re-insert empty, allow the remount, then retransfer my files?
This seems crazy, since its the cache thats buggered not my tagging (all ID3v1)
Thanks in advance.
Media Storage - Clear Data. It will delete local media database (music, photos, movies) and rebuild it.
that was spot on. Thanks a lot buddy.
Hey I just bought this phone yesterday (had the galaxy before)
and today i opened up the music player and loaded the songs from my sd card, but for some reason everything is (about 90%) of my songs are under the album "audio" with unknown as the artist/album. but then the rest of the 10% song are under albums...how can i fix this? its quite annoying now to find songs by certain artist since everything is UNKNOWN.
i also tried using another music player (pro player or something like that) and same thing
either your files lost the mp3 tags for some unknown reason, or something else is wrong there.
either case try out this great app
JukeFox free from Market
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
so is there any way to diagnose the problem to see what it REALLY is?
also is there an easy way to put the tags back onto the files?
OKAY SO I FIGURED THIS ONE OUT LOL
go to settings, applications, all, find 'media storage' click on it. clear data.
then go to settings and sd storage, unmount sd card. then once available, hit mount sd card. let it scan fully
then go to music player and all songs should be grouped into albums, etc etc etc..
someone can close this thread now and keep it for reference for newbies like myself who run into this issue
Ok, I am trying to make new a playlist that will stay on my device (razr m). I have tried to make one on the device, but you cant move the music around to make a specific list. Then, when you do take the time to do so - when the sd card is removed, you loose the playlist. I have tried windows media player and I keep getting errors of it not being able to sync several songs, which are already on my device.
Very frustrated!

I, too, have struggled with the same concept. for whatever reason, this app best works by creating your playlist online, and then syncing it to your phone - in turn, it will download your songs and place them in the internal storage. you'll notice that the size of this app increases as a result.
the app still recognizes songs stored on your external sdcard though.
my only other thought would be to use other music apps like winamp.
edit: just found this, and I'll try it tonight. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...e-all-google-play-music-external-sd-card.html
update: this process worked for me! I was now able to free up more than 1GB of space on internal storage by moving my songs to the external sd card.
