I have tried unmounting my sdcard, clearing data for media storage and music player but yet no changes. Any help will be appreciated.

hi, it's strange ..
I am still with LS7, I have not tested yet.
but I had a similar problem with ics, it was infact google music and its cache ..
test reading your duplicate songs with the stock player, if the duplicate song will not open, it is almost certain that it comes from gMUSIC ...
Otherwise, if you're on they are copied to your external sd, have you tried to delete, reboot and see if you still have the problem?
ps: you're not in the right section, here is themes and applications

Yeah. On ICS I had same problem but the duplicate didn't work. But unmounting sdcard and clearing data for media storage solved the problem. But on XXLSA both the duplicate and original are playing just fine.
Edit: I deleted one of the duplicated media files and it rendered the other useless, i.e. the music player could not play it.

Poweramp duplicating songs!

I have an HTC Raider from Rogers and I installed PowerAmp on it. After it completes the library scan, it shows every song twice. However, when I open up the stock music app, everything looks normal. All of my music is currently stored on the external SD card. I did try moving all of the music over to the internal SD and poweramp only showed the music files once. However, I don't want my music eating up all the space on my internal sd.
Anyone else encountered this problem and possibly have a solution?

Never had this problem... that's odd. Maybe you could contact the dev of that app. Many of them are really good about resolving issues with users.

I will try contacting them. Thanks!
PowerAMP's library management seems to be a bit rubbish. It wouldn't read about half of my Japanese ID3 tags, nor 1/4 of my Korean ones... It's a bit of a disaster.

I also have an HTC Raider from Rogers and have the exact same problem.
Did you ever hear back from the developers about this?
Have you tried making sure that ONLY your music folder is getting scanned (by manually selecting it in the settings), then going into the advanced settings and initiating a full wipe/rescan?
I'm on a Rogers Raider and have never had this problem, so it's a shot in the dark. Been using PowerAmp for over a year across three phones.

Yes, I made sure that only the music folder is scanning. But still having the same problem, Please someone help me. :crying:
Using Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.2
I had this problem, uninstall it, clear your dalvik cache, reinstall it, select only your music folder, double check that you don't actually have duplicate files :laugh:
Hi,
try this:
Open Settings in powerAmp > Folders and Library > Music Folders (scroll down & down to make sure you select only 1 Folder where your music is stored).
that fixes mine. Hope that fixes your problem.
Maybe have a closer look
I have the Nexus 4, too and just solved the problem.
The first thing I did when acqiring Poweramp was de-selecting everything but the "music" folder.
But then I noticed that there was not only a folder of that name in /storage/emulated/0, but also in /storage/emulated/legacy, which was still selected, causing the problem.
Deselected the second one and everything worked fine
duplicate songs
the dual listing of songs files etc is usually caused by the app scanning dual paths. Set your app to only scan one folder for your music.

Double image & cant play music

I have searched the threads multiple times and always got only temporary answers.
I have had ppl tell me to CLEAR DATA under the apps --> Media storage.
It looks good after immediate bootup, but after 1 hr everything is now double or even triple.
Also the music files play only within a 30 minute timeframe, after that it only says "Can't play the track you requested"
Can anyone give me a permanent solution to this problem??
I am presently using ICS Stunner 1.4.26.1
Are you using the stock player? I've had this problem myself and i noticed that some temporary files were saved on my internal storage (with the music on my external). After i set my music folder as the default music folder it stopped duplicating everything. I haven't bothered to look for the duplicates, so i'm not sure where they're hiding at.
Using PlayerPro.

make sure that the mount points in kernel are correct. Do you have your camera pics saved in internal or external storage?

Any chance you are on speedmod? I had this problem as well. I think it's because in speedmod internal and external SD are switched.

[SOLVED]Media scanner issues on stock ICS ROM

Hi guys, I've been encountering very annoying issue with the Media Scanner in my phone:
My newly added media doesn't appear in the Music app nor my Gallery app. This issue happened especially to all my mp4 videos in my external SD; they didnt appear in the Videos app nor the Gallery app. Now my newly added music doesnt even appear in there as well.
The android.process.media force closes all the time too.
I've tried clearing the Media Storage file in the settings, installed most of the apps that force the media scanner service, but to no avail. I've even cleared all my android data in my internal and external SDs.
Any solutions? Thanks!

I'll try, but I'm skeptical that it will work, I think the problem lies beyond the media scanner service.
:/ Didn't work. I'll try to search around. I suspect one of my media files is crashing the service, as when media scanner is running, the media.process.android will force close a few minutes after.
worth installing the ICS rom over it again

Indeed! Installed the leaked Jellybean ROM, and everything was ok! The default gallery Media Scanner is troublesome..

[SOLVED][Q] Stock music app does not auto-update!

Hi guyz!
I have a galaxy mini (stock)
My music player app (stock) does not get auto-updated and as you may know there is no way of refreshing the list or updating it manually.
Whenever I add or delete my songs in the device the music app does not show the added ones nor remove the deleted ones :banghead: :crying:
I have to play them all from my folder and they can't be played in background therefore causing me loads of problem
And the same goes with my picture gallery (gallery ics).
I have searched a lot for solutions but found none of them working except of ofcourse reflashing ..
But I don't want to reflash.
So plzzzzz if you guyz know any work around then tell me plz :crying:
Note: the songs and pics are in the external sd card..

Something wrong with the media scanner. I cannot point out what.....
I think its better you flash it.
Send from Batman's Bat- Phone
try this,
clear data and cache of the music app and gallery..
and from /sdcard/DCIM folder delete ".thumbnails" folder...
and then launch gallery..
it will take a bit more time to display all pics as it will generate thumbnails of all pics...

This should go in the Q&A thread and I hope the respective moderator does shift it there.
Anyhow, I'm facing the same problem you're. Whenever I access the library part of the app, it crashes. It also happened with the old mobile I had. So I don't think it's device specific.
Try the new Google Play Music..from Nexus 6..with material interface.

Lol no! You don't have any problems with your handset. It's just that probably the playstore is buggy. Don't worry about, just use another player for now. I recommend poweramp
