Got a fatal situation. I installed mxing player and it mixed up my whole music library (4000 songs). After installing mxing player my stock player shows all songs double. One is playable and the other one is not playable. If I now control the content of the songs directory, I can find only one (the playable one). I even checked in USB mode and checked also if there was an hidden file or so.... Nothing. This means to me it is a problem of the stock player's file list. So I want to reset the stuck player in order to let it rescan all files. But I couldn't find any way to make the player rescanning. Does s.o. know how to do this?

Wipe cache and data of the music player, will reset the library.

Unmount and re-mount the internal sdcard from settings>memory. This will make the media scanner scan all files again, wherein lies your problem. I doubt wiping music player data would do any good.
Thx, yes wiping didn't help at all. Unmounting was the remedy of choice.

Hello all- I have just got a 16gb card in my SGS and have been using Windows Media Player as well as Winamp and it never seems to come out correctly.
I always end up missing album are and the some files end up being deleted, it's just not as straight up and easy as I believe it should be.
What programs do you guys use to get music on your I9000 ?
I was wondering if Kies was any good but I found Kies to be quite slow and spotty.
Any good solid ways to make transfers easy, especially with album art ?
Cheers for any information !!

erm itunes?? isnt that fruit? hmmm lol yes if you find they work fine and are smaller without sound quality loss you should be good. It will just be encoded at a higher rate thus making the file smaller.......or you could change the encoding rate of mp3s to make the file smaller and avoid fruit lol
I use Windows media player. Just set it to never auto sync and nothing will be removed ever. Also just manually sync the songs u want. I also do this via a card reader and my micro SD card while phone is off very fast.

I'm using iTunes on PC, so I install doubleTwist to sync music between iTunes and SGS

That winamp music transfer is great if you use winamp
Use "Media Player" USB Connection mode and sync via Windows Media Player... it will work... the playlists, however, won't.
So, manually copy your playlists (after syncing) to the /sdcard/Playlists folder and use a player that can read .wpl files (PlayerPro)
All will work fine.
Cheers for the help guys. I may avoid WMP and try the card and reader and just transfer that way.
I am quite picky about album art, and it turns out the cover art app is very good !!
Cheers again, LL13-

apparently your search for media files on sd card is not working .. it runs on bootup unless you disabled it.. try to get a program like switch pro widget that lets you re-sync media.
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

If you are using any third party music app,try scanning the music folders
Already did.. Still same. I rebooted already
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Check if there was any file named nomedia in the music folders.If it was there,just delete it and scan the music folders again and play the music
Not sure if it works or not
Inspect the file if it has a replicate, the other replicated file is not playable, so the player cannot start. It happen also to me, i had to reflash the rom and format my internal sd.

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..

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?

Check in the settings of Apollo for searching, if not, perhaps the music is only being saved/accessible by using the app, so move the music to a separate folder on the root of your desired storage and check again? It's working fine for me having the UK top 40 in a folder on my SD card, it's all read fine..
also check if you have .nomedia file in your music folder perhaps
The music files are located on external sdcard under mp3.
I try to copy some of music to another place but don't help.
.nomedia is not excited on external sdcard I under mp3
When I go to tubemate select a video and click on save as mp3 then flash a ROM the music is not showing but under Video Player I see the music video that I save as mp3 format.
Maybe it help to know when I was having my neo and the music are it was not showing I change the mp3 ending to m4a and it was working but now dont work.
