Newby here, ive being looking around this site for a while and done a few searches.
I have recenlty got the MDA Vario 3 and a 4 sdhc card.
Although windows media player dosent seem to pick this card up.
any one simular problems.
The Sd card reads everywhere else but not WMP.
Does any one have a solution to this or know a better music player.
Regards
Have you updated the library lately? If not, delete the MSMETADTA folder on the SD card and update the library.

Hello,
I just got my new TyTN II, I put all my songs onto a 2gb Micro SD card in a folder called "My Music" the app does not seem to find the songs. Media player seems to find the songs just fine, but I would rather use audio manager. I'm still using the stock ROM. The audio managers version is 1.2 (build 725.711)
I'm still quite new to Windows Mobile any help would be appreciated.
i dont use htc audio manager anymore, but i recall there being an option somewhere that scans the external memory for any songs.
I have mine in a folder called music, and it found those with no trouble, so maybe try changing the folder name
Hello everyone - I think either I've missed posts on this, my "buzz words" are not correct, OR... it's only MY issue.
Trying to download and play MP3s. The download perfectly to my computer. Now...
1. Took FOREVER to Active Sync the files over to MY DOCUMENTS for my device. Is there another way?
2. Now that they're over there, I successfully move them to my storage card. When I ask Media Player to "update the library", it pulls everything in to include my voice commands for TOM TOM!
3. I want to create a playlist, but for some reason I don't know how. I click on MY PLAYLISTS (selecting Storage Card of course), and it finds NOTHING!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Do you have a memory card reader for your computer? if so just load everything up on your memory card and just put it in your phone
No card reader I'm afraid. My wife has a Treo 650, and the files just FLY right over when she syncs. And now that the files are OVER there, I can't put them in a play list. I guess I don't know how. And I'm searching the net fevorishly trying to find out! The Treo 650 uses Real Player, and I'm using the Media Player that came with Dutty's 4/29 hybrid.

Try plugging the device into the computer, click on explore, mobile device, storage card, create a my music folder in there, then just select the songs you want to move, drag and drop them. It does take a little while to transfer, especially if the music files are good quality. After that is done, open windows media player search for new tunes, make sure it is searching in storage card, my music. That should do it. I never use activesync to move files. btw htc media player is very basic and doesn't have play lists wmp does.
I have an 8MB SDHC card in my TyTn II and was contemplating using Windows Media Player Synch. It says in the manual that you can aslo synch the storage card but regardless of what I try I cannot get WMP on the PC to see the storage card?? When I use Windows Explorer on the PC I can see and navigate to it and examine the content in it, but not with Windows Media Player? I have a My Music folder on the card and there are WMA and MP3 files in there.
Is it a WMP glitch perhaps or is there something I should have done (card formatting - it's a brand new card though, never been in another device) or perhaps need to do???
I recently had the same problem: I could view the contents of my 8GB Sandisk in File Manager, Total Commander or Resco Explorer, I could create, update and use the library in HTC Audio Manager, but WMP could not see the storage card and therefore could not update the library (it could work from its saved record of the library before I deleted that).
At the same time, Outlook began having problems. Any time I would try to open an attachment (attachments are stored on the storage card) it would take several minutes to open and the application (usually Word) would be so sluggish as to be unusable. Also, Pocket Player was taking about 5 minutes to start up (I'm assuming that it was doing a library scan before opening).
The only thing that fixed it for me was flashing a new ROM. Hard reset and restoring a backup did not work and decided that if I was going to hard reset and start setting up again from scratch, which might work, then I might as well try a new ROM.

What version of WMP do you have on the PC and what OS? What you want worked OK for me with a Win XP Pro SP3 PC using WMP 11 and AS 4.5. WMP even categorised all my MP3s into individual artist folders on the card (6 GB Sandisk). WMP 11 saw my TyTN II and because I wanted to transfer more than the remaining internal storage space on my TyTN II worth of MP3s across, was clever enough to automatically put them all on the card.
I might try the ROM/WM 6.1 upgrade from the HTC site. I have it downloaded but was reluctant to install bearing in mind the various problem threads.
I am running Windiows Vista Business and have Media Player 11. It seems odd that Windows Explorer can see the Storage Card but not Media Player. I cannot add it by browsing via 'Add to Library' either. Not too crticial for me as there are other methods (indeed other players) to get music across but it's one of those things that now I know it's not working - I'd like to fix).
Hey guys. Ive tried reflashing quite a few times now, and for some reason no matter what rom i try my phone is no longer scanning the media on my phone. i have music on my phone in the form of mp3's that will play when i use astro to browse to them, ut do not show up in any media player including the stock android one. an thoughts? as to whats going on?
things ive tried,
New sd card
Reflashing and wiping
Cyanogen clockwork recovery and amon ra
going back to a nandroid where it did work ( it no longer does)
deleting all my music and putting new music in
reformatting the sd card.
any other ideas? or if anyone knows a fix, please help!
Do you dump all of your mp3s in 1 folder? I've found that if I do this, the music player will scan some but not all album art. I know you're not getting them detected at all, but try adding music in subfolders so maybe when it scans 1 folder with hundreds of mp3s it doesn't get overwhelmed. If you're adding a lot of music at a time, try adding just afew mp3s and see if that works.
Thanks for the reply. just tried it and its still a no go :/
You sure you don't have a .nomedia file in the same folder as the music or your music folder doesnt start with a .? (like .music will not be scanned)
nope nothing with a dot or a nomedia file.. i found out if use force scan with meridian media player it finds my music, but its only temporary. as when i exit. it loses everything again :/
edit: i just tried a non sdhc card. the original 2gb card and it works.
however i want to use my 8gb card :/
any idea why the media scanner is not working on my sdhc card?
is it because its a class 2?
So I've been facing a problem recently, I am a huge music fan but also a performance freak. So, having a 32gb nexus 6p, that means that I am f***ed. Music streaming apps are useless when you dont have any internet access or when you are out of data and offline selections takes space on your device. I've found something I had lying around the house, an external Micro SD card reader.. Thing is there isnt seem to be an app made to read music right off of micro SD cards. When you plug the adaptor or reader the only options you have are files transfer from where you can browse and open the song you want.. It works for mp3 but not for wma or flac files plus it looks absolutely horrible.. Can anyone show me a way to solve my probleme oe even if anyone is willing to build something to solve it id be interested to help !! Thanks
Use ES file explorer it lets you play any music in any directory https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en
