Google music help! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded a couple of songs this morn from google music (for the first time). I was directed to download the google music player, and was able to listen to the songs. But, when I went into winamp to play songs that are on my ex sd card, no music shows up. I tried another player (miui) and same thing, no music shows up.
I went to unmount and remount ex sd and IT'S not showing up. I'm able to go into root explorer and see and play any of the songs. I physically removed and re-installed the ex sd, still not being recognized.
So, I deleted the google music app, still no go.
Any suggestions/help??
Thanks!

Nm.... figured it out

Music not showing up on my g1

i duno for some reason ..i just noticed today that my music isn't showing up at all in any of my music players..i tried 4... but when i download a new mp3..it shows up but next time i open it to play..its gone again...its all on my memory card...let me know if anyone can help
to make sure its on your sd card do you have astro, or any file manager that you can see your folders that are on the root of your sd card? if you do see if you see all the music in that folder, just a thought
Yes I see it through astro and I can select play the song in astro but no information on song comes up..I search using stock music player. Mixzing, rockon ect and none of them can find my music even if I direct it directly to the music folder..I tried flashing 5 different roms and its all the same...music doesn't show up

Music won't play

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.

Perception music player

I've had Perception 10.1 on my phone for quite a while now, and overall I like it (that's why its been on my phone for months and months now). But yesterday I got some voicemails that I downloaded from Gmail and they were saved as mp3 format files. The built in music player refuses to play them. It just gives me the message that the music player doesnt support that file format. I thought this was completely strange. So I put a couple of music mp3's on the sd card, and the built in music player wont play those either. Does anybody have a solution to this? What music player wouldnt play mp3's, thats crazy?? I know for a fact that the music player that was in an earlier version of Cog that I was running played music mp3's.
I'm thinking the best solution would be to get a different stock music player apk and then use adb to push it to the phone?

[Q] Ringtones change on their own after Rooting

Nexus One rooted (frustrated with lack of internal memory) with DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su. No Mod's, still running stock 2.3.6 32Gig SD external memory. First install was Titanium Backup Next install was Link2SD. After moving all the apps to the new Ext3 partition using Link2SD, my ringtones were playing an audio mp3 book! ? I also during this time added a new song to my library... wrote a new playlist called 506 songs and deleted playlist 505 songs.
What is happening is I set my ringtones for my Gmail accounts (Regular Telus Mail Account does not change!). Everything is fine until ?? an app update or I mount the SD card through my computer. Now the ringtones change to an audiobook and my music player looses the new playlist of 506 and shows the previously deleted 505 songs! (and yes I can play the songs with the playlist).
After many days of scratching I rebooted, had it working normally with the 506 songs playlist and choosen ringtones, I opened up link2SD app and BAM! back to 505 songs!
Any ideas?
What are the other apps you moved to SD Card?
I got the same problem with different context. I moved some themes to SD card, when I connect to the other, N1 got rebooted? Is the same case with you?
I moved "all the apps" = non system to the SD Ext3 partition.
I never had a re-boot problem. I simply was waking up to a boring audio book, which I found unacceptable!
Sorry, what do you mean by audiobook?
au·di·o·book/ˈôdē-ōˌbo͝ok/
Noun: An audiocassette recording of a reading of a book.
More info »Wikipedia - Merriam-Webster
Also in CD or MP3 format...
I know the meaning
I doubted whether its an app, as I never used in my N1
No App used to play audio books other than the stock music player.
I have since Factory Reset, reloaded & updated stock apps. Re Rooted using Doomed and added Link2SD...
fine for a few days and now mp3 player shows 506 songs playlist but no songs in it. It won't play any of the 506 songs but will play some other playlists. Yes the playlists were created the same way.
Can't figure out whether it's Doomed or Link2SD doing it!!!

[Q] music player does not find new music

I have a completely stock HTC One 801S and I have been trying to copy my music into it. I copied MP3's into the 'Music' folder and it shows when I check with Windows explorer, it also shows up when I use File Manager from the Play Store but the Media player in the phone (the one with the little Headset Icon does not see anything new. The preloaded music shows up and plays but not what I added.
If I use the File Manager from the Play Store and select the music, it plays fine. I also installed Android Music but the same problem, anything I copy into the phone does not show up in any music player in the phone. Restart the phone many times but no luck.
Does anybody have solutions or ideas how to solve this?
Thanks,
JB
Quick update: if I send the files over Bluetooth they show up in the Bluetooth folder in the music player and they play OK in the stock music player. This is a work around because I cannot organize them in folders.
Anybody can help me?
thanks,
JB
