[Q] Play Music off external sd card - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Hi everyone. I've got a micro sd card reader for my P7310 which appears to work great. However, when I select a music track from an album it plays only that track and doesn't continue to the next one automatically. That's with using the built in player and dice player. Does anyone know of a player that will play an album from an sd card reader in its entirety automatically?
Cheers

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?

Can music player use the sd card?

how can I refresh the music player so it will display the music on the sd card?

Which music player do you mean? The built-in one?
The media scanner which is initiated right after boot or after unplugging it from the PC should usually do this automatically.

Poweramp lets you store your music on an SD card and read it from there...
No problems
All my music (and films etc) are on the external SD card. I have no problems.

Playlists on MSD card disappear when phone is rebooted

Playlists on MicroSD card disappearing from all media players when phone is rebooted.​
I make all my music playlists in WPM 11, Winamp ETC, and sync them to my phone's MSD card.
When i reboot the phone the playlists don't go blank, they disappear entirely from my media players through out the phone.
The playlists folder on the SD card still contain the physical .pls files, but they don't appear in any media player.
I have to resync all my playlists everytime i reboot my phone. The music itself is still physically there and the media players all still see the music, its the damn playlists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards and thanks.
I know this is a well known problem, it use to happen on my GS3 but not every reboot. Once in a while maybe. This is really frustrating.​

Walkman does not show and play external sd card content

After the last update which renamed Walkman app to Music, application does not list my music files and folders in the external sd card. Internal card content is being listed without any problem. I have uninstalled the update but still it shows nothing from sd card, even in the folders tab.
How can I make the walkman application browse and play music files located in sd card?

This must be a problem with the default Media Scanner found on the device. You could try Rescan Media Root which works wonders for most devices
Requires root permissions you can use it to force scan external sd and internal sd for audio tracks.

Yes, it was a media scan issue. I tried this app from play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.house.noranuko.mediarescanner
It solved the problem for audio tracks and walkman runs fine now. After a while I realized that ringtones are gone in whatsapp and system sound settings. I rebooted and sounds are restored gradually. Everything is well now. Though I am still curious about why this problem occured after the walkman update.
Anyway thanks and have a good day.

External micro SD card station

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
