Hello all,
Is there any way for me to expand my media library?
I currently have a nexus 7 (16gb) and it's full, I have an OTG cable and various flash drives/sd cards.
I can see (and play) any files loaded onto my flash drive via nexus media importer - that's not the problem...
I would like the files (music) on my external drives to integrate and be shown alongside the files stored on my internal memory - I'm using full version of Poweramp and have tried various media players but none of them show external media in my library... Is it possible?
Thanks

I'd like to synchronize some multimedia files with my htc diamond. The problem is that from Windows Media Player it only shows the phone memory, not the whole 4 GB of the included card.
To make full use of the whole 4Gb, i'd like my media files to be stored in the internal storage card.
Has someone faced this issue?
Thanks!
Hey Guys,
I just got this phone and I've been geeking out with the all the cool voice command features of WinMo. However, I noticed that while my Windows Media Player library picks up all of tags and album pics perfectly, I can only play 2 of them through voice command.
I've got 2 q's:
1. Where is the winMO media library stored?
2. Does the ASR tap into a different Windows Media Player database?
Thanks!
The WMP Mobile library is stored on whatever media that contains the media files. This means that if you have songs on a micro SD card, then the library file is on the micro SD card. You need to view all hidden files in your file explorer on the device.
If the media files are on the internal storage, then the the library database is under Application Data/Microsoft/Media Player
Hope this helps.
Hi,
i'm having a issue with Media Scanner and thanks to that with nearly all media players on Android.
Let me explain .
I don't have my music on Galaxy Tab, i have a share on network, mounted via CIFS to /mnt/sdcard/music. With apps like MortPlayer or via explorer utils i can see the contents of this folder.
Unfortunately this folder is not indexed by Media Scanner, as even if i use a SD rescan util (which forces the Media Scanner to start scanning), none of the files show up in the standard music player. On other side, if i manually copy the files to internal memory via USB, then after USB disconnect the Media Scanner runs and finds all new files - except those from those from the share.
Now, the question is if this is some sort of Media Scanner limitation (like if it ignores any mounts) or do i have some configuration issue ?
Of course i could use MortPlayer, but i don't really like using this kind of player if could have a library instead.

Have you find solution? I'm having same problem. Tried to google, but no luck.
No solution unfortunately. It looks like a limitation of the Android media scanner.
Hi,
iam using the standard Player called "musik" on my galaxy tab.
I have mounted a CIFS on /mnt/sdcard/media/subfolders
There are 3 folders which contain mp3 files. Others Videos...
One week ago i have noticed that the Media Scanner has detected the content from only one folder full of mp3s. I thougt that it is impossible that the standard player detects files from cifs. But it has detected the media. I dont now why. The other two folders with mp3-mixes are not detected.

Anyone found a way to, for example, get music stored on your nook internal memory recognized by the android media scanner? Or is there a way to mount the internal storage so it is recognized as part of the sdcard or something along those lines?
I want those 5 gigs!
Different Media Player
Well, the Froyo Media player actually plays music from internal. However, the alternative here is to use a different media player which allows you to access different storages. I like player pro on the phone, but don't know if it would work on the Nook. Have you also tried Mixzing?
not running froyo atm, will flash it when its able to run off system memory not sd card. good suggestion with mixzing, but it does not "see" the internal flash mem even when you try to specify specific folders in settings.
oh and player pro works great on the nook fyi, though it doesnt solve my particular issue.
Well, Poweramp plays internal memory, well it does on my phone anyway XD
Hi All,
I have the original Droid Turbo which has no option to expand storage via SD card. I would like to expand my storage via micro USB drive/OTG (On The Go) to download my Google Play Music songs since I don't have the data to stream.
Question: If I buy a micro USB storage expansion drive, will I be able to download songs from Google Play Music to it, then plug in the drive for access to the downloaded music when I get ready to listen to it? Also, will I have the ability to specify that Google Play Music songs should be downloaded to the storage expansion drive instead of internal memory (32GB)?
Thanks so much for any help that you can give!
