hey all, I've put off posting a thread for as long as I can. I have Cyanogen 5.0.5 on my N1, and when I go to the music app, none of my music shows up. I can find my music on the SD card if I use a file search app, like Root Explorer, but the music player won't or can't find the files. I did a restore to stock Android, and the music player library had all my music in it, then I went back to Cyanogen and the music disappeared from the library, so it must be something with Cyanogen. But I feel like I must be doing something wrong, or missing something entirely, because I couldn't find anyone with this problem.
I also downloaded some third-party music players from the market, and none of them would load my library either. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? I love everything about Cyanogen, but if I can't resolve this I'll have to go back to stock 2.1. Not having a working music player is just not worth it to me.
try going into the dev tools and using the sd card scanner, see if that refreshes the music app. i actually was having the same problem on changes i did to a wallpaper directory, the gallery wasn't showing the renamed folder or new pics and when i ran the sd card scanner option under the dev tools, it updated in gallery
I tried that, but it didn't work.
What does Nexus One Android Development mean to you?
I'm on stock but it happened to me the first time I put some music on the sd card. I navigated to the music via astro file manager and played a song from there. After that all my music was magically seen from the music player.
Dunno if that will help.
Where do you store mp3s so the standard music player will see them? I am on nookie froyo 0.6.6 and i have tried every directory and i can't find them in the app. I even tried in the system itself using root explorer. I know i can use other apps to play them, like rock player, but they play one song, they don't do the whole album, or playlists.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Anyone have any luck getting the standard music player to find your songs?
Bump.
I'm having the same issue as well...any input is greatly appreciated!

I'm actually on the most recent version, but I still can't figure out (other than RockPlayer) how to get music on to the standard music app. The apps don't recognize any of my mp3s.

Your playlist are usually saved on your sd card as a little file. You could back it up and re-open it after flashing a new ROM.
Might be different with different player tho, I haven't tested it. Just my though on it as I don't use playlist
Do you know where I can find this file???

Usually would be in a folder created by your music player (with the name of your music player). Although, like I mentionned, I don't use playlist so I'm not sure where they would be placed
I'm going to go ahead and mention this now:
This is an issue relating to the media scanner. It is not specific to any one application, phone, or ROM. I've done a ton of searching on Google for an answer, and it is obviously not restricted and seems to come from the media scanner. Winamp, Songbird, PowerAMP, Instinctiv, Android Music, etc... all seem to have this problem.
As far as I know, there is no fix. Your best bet is to get an app that will let you sync playlists from your computer, and sync regularly. If you use an app that saves playlists as .m3u, you can create a new folder called .NoMedia, and media scanner will ignore it, and thus, not try to update it. If your app does not create playlist files, your playlists are stored in a database file and you're really out of luck.
Please, if anyone knows of a fix, please help!

The only solution I've found is FLASHING A GINGERBREAD ROM...I haven't had problems about this in Gingerbread........But I think they are still a little unstables!! :S
I'm having the same problem with FroYo and PowerAmp on my Captivate but the problem only occurs when I unmount and re-mount the SD cards and then the media scanner runs. If I reboot on the phone normally the scanner leaves the playlists in tact.
If you're using PowerAmp there's actually a 2 different settings that fix this, under Advanced Folder options: No System Scan For Folders, and Create /MusicFolders. For the first one you just select which folders you want to exclude from the scanner, for the latter it creates said folder (on both SD cards) and then you need to move your music to the MusicFolders folder(s). I suppose the former is easier if you have your music spread out over both SD cards or just don't feel like moving your music underneath another subfolder. The trade-off to this is that you lose use of the System Library and can only use Folder Playlists.
I used the Create /MusicFolders option, moved all my mp3s under it, created a couple of playlists with a few songs each. Unmounted/re-mounted the SD cards and also rebooted the phone and let the media scanner run both times and the Folder Playlists were untouched. Hopefully there's a fix eventually but for now, I can live with cumbersome functionality of using only folders since I only use playlists and very rarely shuffle all the songs on my phone. Not having to spend a half hour recreating playlists is more than worth the tradeoff.
I'm using Samsung Galaxy ACE, this phone is nice and there's nothing to complain about it. But nearly here, I did install a ROM, the Stocklite 7.1 with battery extender kernel and slaid480's script. And then, all the songs in my sdcard's tag isn't right anymore :| You know, I don't know what I did with the ROM, the kernel, the script,... I just flash it normally, like every other ROM, but what? Before this, with other ROMs, there's nothing wrong with my music (I'm not meaning to complain about the stocklite, it's a nice ROM, I'm just confused) but now, it's all wrong, I can ensure with all of you, from my computer, the songs are still normal, but when I copy them to my sdcard, just like my phone can't read the tags. How did this happen??? Anyone? Please help me, I've asked this question so many times but noone replied me. I have to go to school almost everyday of the week and without music at breaktime is disaster! Please help me!
P/s: my music is from iTunes, the songs are iTunes version, file m4a. :crying:
Somebody, help me :-? I'm really annoying with this, anyone? :|
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
That's wierd. All my songs work fine. Does ace support m4a file format?
Try some other music player from market. Make sure the folder containing music is not protected or something, also make sure that there's no " .nomedia " file in the songs folder.
Maybe something got messed up with the music app database if you uses titanium backup to restore data.
Remove all songs from sd, delete data and cache from music app, reboot, open up your music app (now u got no songs), close the music app.
Put the songs back, reboot and check if the tags are ok.

Ace supports m4a file format, like i said, before i install that rom, and kernel, and the script, everything's fine. There's no dotnomedia in the songs' folder any different idea???

i'd followed your instruction and nothing changed. :-< I'm using the stock music player, but Google Play isn't any better, the tags are still suck
Hello all. I have a quick, hopefully easy question - is there a way to organize the Walkman playlist by Folder, filename, etc. ? I prefer Walkman app compared to Winamp because Winamp freezes when trying to access a lot of mp3 files and Walkman works perfectly. In the past (I had W902, W700) you were able to create a .pls file on your PC and copy it in the phone's memory with the exact location of all the mp3s on the phone. That's.. well.. not very user friendly.
Any suggestions are welcome
+1. OP, please post if you found a solution
Walkman, sort by folder

I did It's called MortPlayer Music. I've heard this should also be resolved in Android 4.2.
Cannot post a link to Google Play, sorry
Thanks I actually got MixZing, but still would be nice to have folder based playlists in vanilla Walkman
