Walkman doesn't see any of my music - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all.
I can't get the walkman app to show any of my music from my ext SDcard. The app just shows the 6 default sony songs from internal/music.
When I put the MP3s in the internal/music with the other 6 files nothing happens.
What I tried:
- Reboot
- Clear data/cache on walkman
- Clear data/cache on media storage
- Check for .nomedia (not there)
- Unmount/remount SD card
Any ideas?
Thanks
edit: nvm, it took almost 30min for the songs to show up after clearing data/cache/remount

Try mobo player
Hi,
I you get this error about Could'nt play requested track from Music player, you should go to Settings/App/All apps, find Media Storage and clear data. After you should wait a bit, untill it recheck all your music, maybe do some reboot. Or just remove/insert your sd.

I can't se my music in any music player

Hello, everybody. I Installed new ROM on my SGM - MIUI GingerBread Latest release (stable). At first - everything was ok. But after while - I noticed, that there is no music in my music player. At first - I checked whole my SD card and removed ALL .nomedia files. I still can't find my music. Then I tried other music player - Winamp - still nothing.
I don't know, what to do! I have about 100 songs in my phone, but I can't find it via music player, but I can play these songs, when I'am playing it via Root Explorer.
P.S. I can see all my photos, that are in my SD Card, also some photos are in the same folder as music and I can find only photos. On root explorer I see everything.
I hope you understood and now you are ready to help me, because I can't live without music.
Sorry for poor English.

Try going to settings and unmount sd card... Then put off the card from the phone and then put back the memory card once you did that reboot your phone so at the boot it will reload your memory card hope it works... I had the same problem...solved in this way

try your sd card in another device...if it find music so just re flash your miui
I had the same problem.. i could only see d sound files of Grand prix live game.. i deleted that foler and then i could see all my songs in d music player which were already in the sd card.. u shud delete those music files which are visible in the music player..
What I did is just put the mp3 files to sdcard/MIUI/music/mp3. And it worked Strange, but this worked for me.
go to development setting in phone setting
in develpment setting -->media scanner-->come back when scanning is finished..
I got the same error. Tried all above ways... Nothing. But unlike you all i was using JB not miui
Hey guys the solution is simple just open the folder with your songs and delete the .nomedia file cause that hides everything in that folder from media scan
Do thank if I helped....

Resolved!
I've sorted it
There was a file called .nomedia in my videos folder within the SD card..
Which I deleted and then did clear data for movie/album/ media storage apps
Then did a reboot then went into storage in settings and clicked on photos/ videos
and all videos etc. appear now from SD card in all Sony apps.
Hopefully it may help someone in the future.

[Q] After factory reset no pics in Album

Hi everybody,
I did a factory reset, because the speakers of my phone weren't working anymore.
Did a backup with PC- Companion.
After the reset put everything back on my phone. My speakers are working again.
But I don't see my pics in the Album anymore. They are in the internal storage and I can access them with the File Commander, but I want them in my Album again.
How can I do that?
My phone isn't rooted and has Kitkat on it.

Try clearing data of Album app. If it doesnt work , Take the photos from the phone and put them in your PC . Then put them back in your phone in a different folder . Hope this helps.

I cleared the data, but that didn't help.
And in which folder should I store the pics then? So that I can see them in the Album?

Wherever you want .... for example , store them in Pictures folder . . If you have the pics in internal storage , move them to SD card or if you have them in SD move them to internal .
1. Check/Search any file ".nomedia" in your pics folder or from internal and external storage, make sure the file DIDN'T EXIST, if you find ".nomedia" file, delete it
2. Try to delete any gallery/album folder from Internal Storage, Android>data> your gallery/album data
3. Try to clear data Media Storage via Settings> Apps> All
Option 2 & 3 need reboot to take effect.

No .nomedia file. No gallery/ album folder.
Cleared the data from the Media Storage. Rebooted.
Nothing still in the Album.

Try using QuickPic and enable "Show Hidden"
If nothing appear, something wrong with your device.
Make sure you can copy and delete any pics from Internal and External storage.
If problem persist, try to factory reset with Internal storage erased.
Also, ".nomedia" sometimes recognized as hidden files.

Yes! In Quickpic I can see all my pics. Thanks!
When I set it to show hidden and connect my phone with my PC I find numerous .nomedia files. But for some reason I can't delete them on my PC. Get an errorcode.
How can I search and delete the files on my phone?
Ok managed to delete the .nomedia file. Album and everything is working good again.
Thank you all for your help!

[HELP]Buf?! Memory problem ? Google Play Music

Hi there i'm facing a little non annoying thing with google play music on my n6 CM13.
GPM says that i have 1.8gig of downloaded music but
The thing is the same even if i delete the app data, which in the download section say that it is using 1.3 gig but there's no files in /data/data
So if i choose to download on storage my playlist which is around 500mb it will be added to the 1.3 gig and so give it a 1.8
but there's no other music in the /data/data/[GPM]/file folder than the ones on playlist
is this "normal" ?
can it be because of those mp3 encryption and so when restoring a backup the files get not deleted but lost somewhere and downloaded again?
I've just realize that when restoring a backup and my only playlist was downloading again at boot showing the 1.3 gig....
Is this possible to have such a memory loss???
screenshot attached
