So I downloaded some rar files and using es explorer extracted and moved the around to different folders and then began deleting the rar files. In the process I'm playing music and every time I move a file or delete it my music player stops and I see an error saying "unable to play this audio type". It like its unmounting the sd card.
Anyone notice this?

I think its like reading and writing to the SD Card at the same time and it can't read the song fast enough. My Vivid dies the same thing.

So first i copied all my songs from itunes into a folder i created on the phone but when i went to media.player each song had a copy of itself, one that worked and one that said no file existed. I took out the sd card and wiped it but before i put it back in i checked media player and each song had one copy and worked petfectly. I put the sd card in and the mefia player went crazy again. Each song had this, <#> song, then when you scrolled down it had each song again normal looking. None of them played. so whats wrong? I completely wiped my sd card and i checked every file on my phone and.found no copies of the songs. I also tried itunes agent and it didnt work as well. Any ideas.

Sometimes my Music Player goes crazy too and all I usually need to do is clear the app data and it seems to fix itself. Maybe it will work for you
Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>Music Player>Clear Data
My music player isnt listed under my manage apps section

Any way to get rid of these without deleting the games?
They show up in the HTC Music Player, as well as DoubleTwist
Find the directory on your sd card with your computer or astro. Make an empty file named ".nomedia"
This will stop gallery and music from looking in the directory.

Yup, you can also get the nomedia app that lets you easily manage your folders with .nomedia files.
Thanks.
Worked fine for the HTC Media Player but not for DoubleTwist
Ok so I download an mp3 using one of the many mp3 apps out there (Music Box Pro) I have it set to download to SD/Music
When I open up file explorer I SEE THE FILE in this directory, and I can, via this explorer app, select and open the song and listen to it.
But why can't I locate it on Winamp ? Why can't I use a ring tone maker to locate and use this song ? It finds many other songs -- but not the ones I download
anyone know why ? is a permissions thing ?
basically I am wondering why I can't access the songs I download - I can't assign them to play lists, etc. or use as ring tones. Why not ?
Try finding the music box pro file on sd card and if it exists open it and if the tracks are in it then copy them to another folder ie sounds

nah, I have it so that the tracks are automatically downloaded to my /sd/music folder -- yet still can't really access them or find them it's as if they don't have permissions, it's really messed.
I have had all three versions of the EVO and have always been able to download free mixtapes with my phone and use a file explorer to transfer the files to my music folder and they were instantly in my player. With the HTC One I can download them and move them and even play them from e'sfile explorer but my music player never sees them. If I connect phone HTC one to my computer and put the same songs in my music folder they show up instantly... What the hell is going on? No SD card problem?
Appreciate the help in advance
You need to rescan the phone for media. There are apps for that. I think one is even called rescan media

If you are downloading legal music via mixtapes etc why not just go to mixtapetorrent.com and use the utorrent app to download the music. You can use utorrent to direct the music to the spot you want it on your phone. Thus no need for the file explorer etc.
Are you serious that this amazing phone requires a 3rd party app to recognize mp3's in the music folder? I can do that but it really doesn't click with how advanced this thing is. My old HTC phones didn't need that.
I have no issues with the Music player seeing music in the music folder..

I'm having the same problem the OP listed. No idea why. Same files my Evo had no problems with.

No, it doesn't need another app to recognize the apps. It's just not triggering the operating system to rescan for media files. Android scans the entire storage on boot or between mounting the storage for new media files (pictures, audio, video, etc) and then adds them to the libraries they belong to. Certain actions can bypass this scanning for new media. This app I suggested manually tells the system to scan for these files. It's nearly instantaneous when you do it. I've had to use it before on other devices, you literally open the app and you're done.
For some crazy reason I can not get any of four albums to show up. Rebooted phone, ran rescan media. Even pulled one song out of it's sub-folder and put it straight into the music folder.

Do the file names have periods in the name such as in place of a space? What file type are the files?

Example: 08 Orianthi - Another You.mp3
10-orianthi-highly_strung.mp3
01 Lights Of Manos.mp3
From 3 albums that worked on my OG Evo this morning.
I had the same problem and after getting the music player to play the song it said the format wasn't supported. And these were songs I played on my galaxy nexus fine. And astro file explorer plays them fine too...

How can I keep short mp3's I have on my phone for use as ringtones from showing up in the Play Music app?
Adding a blank file with the name .nomedia in the ringtones directory solves the problem but then in turn prevents me from being able to choose those files as ringtones.
I'm sure this isn't a new issue but one that I've never encountered since all my previous phones had an SD card slot and I kept these files on the external rather than internal storage.

Bump to see if anyone has any ideas.
What works for me is: after adding them to the ringtones folder, go to setting, apps, scroll across to all and then down to media storage. Force stop and clear data and then reboot. On reboot wait a while for the play music app to rebuild and the should be gone.

That seems to have worked! It's been a few hours and the ringtone files aren't showing in the Play Music app but all my actual music files are. Thanks for the tip!
