Download Music Info in Ext_sdcard - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hi to all, I haven't unlock my bootloader, but my device seems not download info of my music in ext_sdcard.
If I put my music under /sdcard, it works! But if I put them under /ext_card, it doesn't work.
Is there any way to download music info if I put music in ext_card?
Edit: when I try to download ONE music, it says no album art or track information found.

What are you talking about? Go to settings, apps, select your music player and tap "clear data". After that go to dev tools, media provider and tap scan sd card, that's it...

the scanning of sd card happens just for 15-20 sec and then it shows scanning complete
try rebooting the device

[Q] Stock music app can't see my music files...

Hello,
Today i just bought an HTC One (Great Device btw...) and i can't figure out how to refresh my music library (Stock Music App). I copied my music files via network from my NAS to phone's music folder but the application can't see them.
Any ideas except using another music player or using USB Cable to sync music with pc?
Thanks in advance!

Connect with USB cable to a PC or laptop, wait till device will be recognized and connected (will appear in the explorer as a drive), then disconnect. all files downloaded through wireless network will be recognized.
Alternative way - to download files from cloud services, like dropbox, instead of over Wi-Fi using ES File explorer from home computer etc. Looks like a bug in HTC firmware, but this workaround works not only for music files... Don't ask me how and why, no idea.

Thanks for your reply, but my computer cannot see my phone as mass storage device. Unless there is an option for that.
I had the same problem. I had to transfer all the music, pics and vides to a sdcard, put it to my older N7000 and used HTC transfer tool (get it from google play). Also, I wanted to transfer few wallpapers from my pc to One. I did it using HTC sync manager and it worked. Maybe, you should try using desktop sync manager before trying the transfer tool app.
Just a quick question boys n girls,
Have you got patter lock or password activated?
It wont let you read the device till its unlocked (on connection to your pc)
As for the music not showing, I've had the same issue.
I downloaded a load of my old music directly to phone, moved it all to keep it all in my music folder, all vanished out of stock music app....
I've seen people saying its a media scanner issue, but turning off and on should force it to scan again, but still wouldn't update.
I think its stored as a cache some where, had the same issue on HD2's. When you wiped the folder with "short cuts to music",
The phone would re scan and re populate with new shortcuts to the same place.
Still looking for the this "cache" folder lol. in the mean time, I just moved my music back to the downloaded folder, boom, and its back in the music app.
Has anybody found an answer to this?
Before the 1.29 update it worked fine. . . Now ive updated i got this issue. Grrrr.....

I ended up moving all files to my pc, dragging them into Windows media player and syncing up using Wmp. HTC sync manager is a joke IMO. I did this for both music and pictures and they all show up now in music and gallery apps. Assuming it's a bug for the app to not just recognize these folders automatically.
You could try deleting the cache of the media storage app in system settings>apps>all.. but be careful with this as it could cause issues with your ringtones and notifications..

I just dont get it though because it was fine before update. . . I dont use Sync Managers, WMP or HTC... lol... i add files manualy via Explorer and Mass Storage etc... Really Strange. . .
Tried that and didnt work, just performed a factory reset, will see if that works....

I did this and it worked, but every time i want to transfer files via es explorer between my nas and my phone i must delete the cache and reboot. This is not a permanent solution and htc must do something. It's really annoying every time i want to transfer music to connect my phone via usb.
I fectory reset my phone and A-OK! All works fine now. . . Bit Bizarre! Unless some something in my storage or an app colided with it, i couldnt tell ya!

It is weird - I know when I had my first One, I used HTC transfer utility for the initial transfer of files, and I was able to get new files to show up.. But when I exchanged the phone I used my PC to transfer files to the 2nd One, and can't get it to see new files.
I really don't want to be tied to a PC for sync'ing just to use the stock music player. I can confirm that Power Amp does see all music files.

ok, so what if you download a new song or transfer it from a PC to your music directory, does that new file show up in the music player? I'm about to transfer all my files from my phone to my PC again

so you did a full factory reset (wiping data/pictures)? And once completed, manually dragged the files into the /sdcard/music folder and /sdcard/DCIM folder?

I followed suit on this
1. Copied music and pictures to PC
2. Performed full factory reset (including data)
3. Connect phone to PC
4. Copied music to phone /sdcard/Music directory
5. Copied pictures to phone /sdcard/DCIM directory
6. Unplug
7. Profit
All data shows up properly. Even newly downloaded files. :good::good:

Worked for me too.
I was starting to think that HTC had stuffed us on this one - there's no way I was going to be using HTC Sync Manager!
All works like normal now.

Yes the above works but what if you want to use a file explorer app to copy music wirelessly from e.g. a NAS to your music folder? I did it and it didn't work. To see the files i must connect my phone via USB to my pc. My Note II and Xperia Z refreshed the music library every time the folder music changed wirelessly or not.

XPERIA E1 Missing Stock "Media Storage" apk

Hey everyone,
I have a Xperia E1 D2104 and I deleted the apk responsible for searching media in the phone. I always used the ES File Explorer to clean junk files and this time I think I deleted the Media Storage apk. So what happens its that I open the music player or the album and doesn't show anything. I tried using other players but didn't work too... But my files are on the SD Card, I know because it shows when I open the ES File Explorer. I almost found a solution but I couldn't because it need to clean the data from the Media Storageon the Applications Settings.
And I think the only method that can resolve my problem is to getting the stock apk: the Media Storage apk (com.android.providers.media). I searched and didn't find the version I need (4.4.2 Kit Kat).
So, I really need someone to give me this apk and I would be very grateful if someone could help me.
Thank you guys and sorry for the english, I'm brazillian and didn't found a solution in brazillian forums.
I would suggest you to re-flash system partition tho... Restoring "Media Storage" will lead to further problems... If you still want the apk - http://www.filedropper.com/mediaprovider
