Not sure of the reason but with poweramp you can manually choose the folders it uses. You'll see the duplicates and just untick one of them, bloody annoying!

Are you using a senseless ROM?
Yes I am.

That is why. I do not know the reason but the senseless ROMs have this bug.

Or maybe had the songs in your internal storage and then moved them to the exteranl SD card?
I had the issue. It is because your music player gets music from both sdcards, but the external is also pinked within the internal. Let me explain
Internal storage is located in : /sdcard
External storage is located in : /sdcard2
But, external storage is also located in /sdcard/ext_sd
So when your music player scans music from your /sdcard directory, it also sees the music in ext_sd as it is linked within it!
The solution I have found that worked for me is :
Rename your music folder with a dot before it ( ex: Music becomes .Music )
Create a shortcut to your .Music folder in your sdcard root.
Perform a clear data from your music player and let it rescan

That makes sense. I have my music on the external SD card. Using the HTC stock music player, I am not seeing my songs duplicated. I have a "Music" folder on the external SD card, but I do not have a "Music" folder in the internal storage. That may be the reason I don't have duplicates.

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
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...

That I've download and put onto my SD card in a folder named mp3.
Anyone shead any light on this?

I've noticed if I copy & paste the mp3 file to internal storage and then settings>storage>transfer data sd it works!! :/
Is this a bug!??
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk 4
No, it just takes time for the media server to read all the contents of your phone. Put it on your external card and wait

There is an app called "media scanner" that refreshes libraries. I was having the same issue

I was having the same problem.
Out of nowhere there came a .nomedia file in the root of my sd card, try to look if it is there and delete it if it is.
For me, all my media came back after doing this and rescan media
I had the same problem. Everything showed after unmounting my sd card then mounting it.
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!

Alright, so even with the EXT SD card "fix" to allow r/w, no music app will read the music stored on it( or even pictures/movies), it will only read the internal memory, permissions seem fine, so what could this be? Can I work around it?
Just a slight annoyance, not a big deal, just prefer it on the external!
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
That's odd. The stock music app and ES file explorer both play my music on the external sd card fine.
Okay so it seems the phone doesn't like my music organized on the external. I organize my music by artist/album/songs in the music folder. I went on a hunch and just dumped all the songs under Music, reboot and boom. All my music is there. Odd right? No issue on the internal with subfolders. Also pictures on the external in subfolders are fine. Just music was weird.
Oh well.
Mod can close thread
