I've noticed if I copy & paste the mp3 file to internal storage and then settings>storage>transfer data sd it works!! :/
Is this a bug!??

No, it just takes time for the media server to read all the contents of your phone. Put it on your external card and wait

There is an app called "media scanner" that refreshes libraries. I was having the same issue

I was having the same problem.
Out of nowhere there came a .nomedia file in the root of my sd card, try to look if it is there and delete it if it is.
For me, all my media came back after doing this and rescan media
I had the same problem. Everything showed after unmounting my sd card then mounting it.

So I downloaded some rar files and using es explorer extracted and moved the around to different folders and then began deleting the rar files. In the process I'm playing music and every time I move a file or delete it my music player stops and I see an error saying "unable to play this audio type". It like its unmounting the sd card.
Anyone notice this?

I think its like reading and writing to the SD Card at the same time and it can't read the song fast enough. My Vivid dies the same thing.

Not sure of the reason but with poweramp you can manually choose the folders it uses. You'll see the duplicates and just untick one of them, bloody annoying!

Are you using a senseless ROM?
Yes I am.

That is why. I do not know the reason but the senseless ROMs have this bug.

Or maybe had the songs in your internal storage and then moved them to the exteranl SD card?
I had the issue. It is because your music player gets music from both sdcards, but the external is also pinked within the internal. Let me explain
Internal storage is located in : /sdcard
External storage is located in : /sdcard2
But, external storage is also located in /sdcard/ext_sd
So when your music player scans music from your /sdcard directory, it also sees the music in ext_sd as it is linked within it!
The solution I have found that worked for me is :
Rename your music folder with a dot before it ( ex: Music becomes .Music )
Create a shortcut to your .Music folder in your sdcard root.
Perform a clear data from your music player and let it rescan

That makes sense. I have my music on the external SD card. Using the HTC stock music player, I am not seeing my songs duplicated. I have a "Music" folder on the external SD card, but I do not have a "Music" folder in the internal storage. That may be the reason I don't have duplicates.

Hi,
I have a Xperia Z since many weeks and i have always the same problem, i can't share pics, photos or any file from the external SDCard with the Facebook for Xperia, i need to copy the file into the internal one and after that works correctly, if i don't do that that automatically said all the time that there is network trouble.
I'm alone having this issue or do you have the same?
I just tried it.
Works fine with me

Also a weird thing, if i'm listening to some music in my external SDCard, i use ASTRO to browse my external SDCard, play a song, that works but i can't move up or down in the playlist with the buton, only play/stop work.
I think there is something wrong with my External SDCard...
How can I keep short mp3's I have on my phone for use as ringtones from showing up in the Play Music app?
Adding a blank file with the name .nomedia in the ringtones directory solves the problem but then in turn prevents me from being able to choose those files as ringtones.
I'm sure this isn't a new issue but one that I've never encountered since all my previous phones had an SD card slot and I kept these files on the external rather than internal storage.

Bump to see if anyone has any ideas.
What works for me is: after adding them to the ringtones folder, go to setting, apps, scroll across to all and then down to media storage. Force stop and clear data and then reboot. On reboot wait a while for the play music app to rebuild and the should be gone.

That seems to have worked! It's been a few hours and the ringtone files aren't showing in the Play Music app but all my actual music files are. Thanks for the tip!

Alright, so even with the EXT SD card "fix" to allow r/w, no music app will read the music stored on it( or even pictures/movies), it will only read the internal memory, permissions seem fine, so what could this be? Can I work around it?
Just a slight annoyance, not a big deal, just prefer it on the external!

That's odd. The stock music app and ES file explorer both play my music on the external sd card fine.
Okay so it seems the phone doesn't like my music organized on the external. I organize my music by artist/album/songs in the music folder. I went on a hunch and just dumped all the songs under Music, reboot and boom. All my music is there. Odd right? No issue on the internal with subfolders. Also pictures on the external in subfolders are fine. Just music was weird.
Oh well.
Mod can close thread
Thanks
