HTC One & Media Folders - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I plugged up to my pc and put albums in the music folder and picture albums in a pictures folder. When i open the music app, it doesn't see any music and same with gallery, cant see anything only pics i've taken with phone. If i use my file explorer it see's everything, opens it and plays. I tried third party gallery like quickpic and it works fine. Poweramp works fine as well for music. The stock software isnt showing anything. I factory reset phone as well and same thing. I've been using android for the longest and first time encountered this. (EVO, EVO 3D GS1, GS2, GS3, Skyrocket, Nexus 4)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've noticed the same issue here. I can connect to a network share, copy music into the Music folder (or media/music) but it wont appear in the Music app, or DoubleTwist. The same is true when copied over USB. Not sure how to get it to detect the music. If I navigate to the folder, I can launch individual songs, but the players wont read the tags, or add the song to it's database...

Force close media storage and use
Media scanner on the play store right after fc-ing media storage.

That didn't seem to do anything for me. I did get music to appear once though by using DoubleTwist AirSync yesterday. I sync'd some crappy windows sample music successfully via that method last night. It showed up in DoubleTwist and the HTC Music app. So I manually deleted those albums and attempted to sync an album I recently got. That time it showed up in DoubleTwist but NOT the HTC Music app. I cannot figure out what the hell is going on or what to do about it. I've tried 3 different media scanner's from the play store and none have done anything for me. I've tried copying my music to various folders hoping they'll get caught in a scan but still no success. Is everybody else able to use the Music app with no problems?

I thought I was the only one. I tried to install Swype also and that didn't work either

still no fix for this problem? will anyone care to reply n help me out?just got the htc one n this glitch is RUINING the brand new phone for me what did the OP do?

So I just found a way to get everything back .
First download a root file explorer (one able to gain root)
then navigate to your root it should be just a "/" then go to /data and then /data/media.
Bam that's where everything is! now just move all the folders to the main sdcard directory, /sdcard or delete the files that are in /data/media if you don't need them anymore.
Good Luck and hit "Thanks" if it helped :laugh::laugh:

Music won't play

hey all, I've put off posting a thread for as long as I can. I have Cyanogen 5.0.5 on my N1, and when I go to the music app, none of my music shows up. I can find my music on the SD card if I use a file search app, like Root Explorer, but the music player won't or can't find the files. I did a restore to stock Android, and the music player library had all my music in it, then I went back to Cyanogen and the music disappeared from the library, so it must be something with Cyanogen. But I feel like I must be doing something wrong, or missing something entirely, because I couldn't find anyone with this problem.
I also downloaded some third-party music players from the market, and none of them would load my library either. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? I love everything about Cyanogen, but if I can't resolve this I'll have to go back to stock 2.1. Not having a working music player is just not worth it to me.
try going into the dev tools and using the sd card scanner, see if that refreshes the music app. i actually was having the same problem on changes i did to a wallpaper directory, the gallery wasn't showing the renamed folder or new pics and when i ran the sd card scanner option under the dev tools, it updated in gallery
I tried that, but it didn't work.
What does Nexus One Android Development mean to you?
I'm on stock but it happened to me the first time I put some music on the sd card. I navigated to the music via astro file manager and played a song from there. After that all my music was magically seen from the music player.
Dunno if that will help.

Media Player Issues

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

I used the HTC sync program. Music is there and works. For pictures it separated one album into 30 and gave them all random titles. Very strange. Could use some help here as well

Have the same problem. All my photos don't show up in gallery.

I think you should clear gallery cache data from app manager and then restart.
This was solved my issue once.

You will also need to clear the "media storage" cache.

Sounds like a lot of jumping through hoops just to transfer some songs and pics?? All of my android friends are always saying how much they love the drag and drop features of their phones, and how they dont need itunes to sync pics and songs. Looks like its not all its cracked up to be, with a 2013 flagship model not properly transferring media via drag and drop.

Worked fine when I dragged music and pictures over. Not sure what OP is doing wrong.
I put pictures in the Pictures folder and music in the Music folder. Then unplugged and they showed up in the respective apps.
Since HTC Music Player can show folders as a category what I did was simple -
1. Under Music folder created sub-folders with same name as my iTunes Playlists
2. Opened each folder and dragged the iTunes Playlist from iTunes into it
3. This copies all songs from that playlist into the folder
So the folders in the player work as playlists
Also, copy over Events from iPhoto into Pictures folder creating each sub-folder and this show up in Gallery as Albums !!
All done ...
im having the same problem with my htc one. will someone please tell me if they found a way to fix this issue? clearing the media storage didnt fix the prob,it only made it worse now even the pics i took from the phome wont show up in the gallery. rebooted it like 3 times. please help! this is completely ruining my brand new htc one for me..

[Q] Downloading music

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?

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...

HTc One music player wont update music files

my htc one on stock android 4.1.2 (1.29.666.17) isnt updating the music files. i have even tried changing the folders, placing them on the root folder of the hard disk and rebooted my phone, cleared media storage and everything else i read on xda. 3rd party music players are able to find the music files but the stock htc one music player says 'no artists found'. what do i do? it used to show all the songs till i changed their directory, now even if i put them in the old directory it doesnt show ANY songs. i really like the stock player!

Try with" update album art" option. I have that on my HTC phones too.
Maybe you must edit your ID3 Tags.
