Getting internal memory recognized by non-BN apps? - Nook Color General

Anyone found a way to, for example, get music stored on your nook internal memory recognized by the android media scanner? Or is there a way to mount the internal storage so it is recognized as part of the sdcard or something along those lines?
I want those 5 gigs!

Different Media Player
Well, the Froyo Media player actually plays music from internal. However, the alternative here is to use a different media player which allows you to access different storages. I like player pro on the phone, but don't know if it would work on the Nook. Have you also tried Mixzing?

not running froyo atm, will flash it when its able to run off system memory not sd card. good suggestion with mixzing, but it does not "see" the internal flash mem even when you try to specify specific folders in settings.

oh and player pro works great on the nook fyi, though it doesnt solve my particular issue.

Well, Poweramp plays internal memory, well it does on my phone anyway XD

Unable to get music to be scanned into media player

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?

[Q] Not all mp3's are recognized

I just loaded an album via usb and for some reason only a few songs are showing up on the music player(stock and mixzing). I am running cyanogenmod 6 rc1, I have a 4 gig sd card with about 1 gig free and about 200 mp3's. If I use Astro to look for the files, they show up and can be played but still wont show up on the music player. Anyone know a solution to this problem? I have tried rebooting the phone and unmounted the sd card.

Are they all under one folder? A music folder?
You might have to set a default music folder depending on what player your using.
They are all in a Music folder, I have some full albums in subfolders, but some songs show up and others don't, even if they are not in a subfolder. It seems like its only this latest music loaded that is having this problem.
I downloaded an mp3 tag editor(TagScanner). The only difference I have found between the mp3's that don't show up is where is the Tag Bar. Mp3's that have ID3v1.0 don't show up, seems like all other ones are good.
I had this problem a while back and it was pissing me off as I couldn't work it out. It turned out that I had a space character at the end of some directory names for some reason which threw the scanner off. (Maybe it was a space at the end of the ID3 tag descriptions? One or the other).
Good luck, I know how annoying it is!

rockplayer questions

I have a newly rooted NC, but I'm having issues with rockplayer.
I have some videos on my sdcard (formatted by the NC). Stuff created by my iphone 3g, a flip, & our digital camera. None will open and play. I get
"Can't open /sdcard/... to play"​
when I select SW decode. I thought rockplayer was supposed to try to play more formats than supported in HW. Am I wrong? Is there something else I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
tlc
Hmm... I've tried it from the internal memory, but not from the SD card. This works fine for me. You may need to move the video to internal memory (using Astro or Linda file manager) and then play it. This may also be a good idea because the internal memory is likely faster. It's an extra step to move it to the internal memory and back when you're done, but it works for me.
Thanks. But I tried the internal memory first. I only went to the sdcard after reading somewhere that rockplayer wouldn't play things off the internal.
Strange, everything works fine for me for Rockplayer off an SD card. I mostly play AVIs though.
Ugh. Never mind. My video files (exported from iPhoto) were bad.
Thanks all.

[Q] Q - Not reading internal storage...volume errors perhaps?

For some reason my nook is not reading internal storage. It mounts and copies files fine. I threw a few gigs of music on it and the music app is not recognizing any of it... Any suggestions?
I have only tried this with music thus far as I only intend to keep music on internal storage. Everything else is accommodating my 16gd sd. Music, pictures, etc..

[Q] Google Play Music playlists are deleted whenever external SD is remounted

I have the P880G (apparently a Canadian AWS/Band IV variant), and I store my music files on my external SD card. Being in Canada, I can't use Google's cloud music service, but the Google Play Music app is still pretty darn good for playing local music files.
The trouble is, every time the external SD is remounted (such as when the phone reboots), my playlists and "thumbs up" list are wiped. The playlists are still shown in the list of playlists, but they're all empty with 0 songs.
Before this phone I had the Nexus S, using only internal storage, so this wasn't an issue, except that there was barely room for the music files I wanted to have with me. I'd really like to use the external SD now that it's an option.
From searching around xda, the closest I could find to this issue was a problem with having the cloud-based music sync to the external SD (it apparently goes to internal storage by default). A solution is posted here, and I tried that on my phone, but it didn't solve my particular issue.
So does anyone have any insight or experience with this?

Would love to know if anyone has any resolve for this. Having the same issue on my GS3 running CM10.1.
Thanks.
Well, sorry to say I never found a fix, but my solution was to sign up for Google Play Music's cloud service in a roundabout manner. So now my playlists are synced and never get deleted from the phone.
A workaround is better than constantly re-adding songs. Thanks!
Same problem
I'm having the same problem with my playlists being wiped. I didn't know what was causing it until I read this post.
When I was using V20A firmware until last week, I discovered that LG 4x's media scanner, at every boot, deleted all .M3U files on SD card. To solve this issue, I was obliged to disable the integrated media scanner (using an app with root grants) and eventually copying all .M3U files from a unscanned folder to main music folder on SD card.
The a/m issue was not present in all previous V1xx firmwares.
