So,a problem my friend has on his i9000 antique .
First of all,hello everybody.
So,the thing is : He told me ,that recently he found he has much more internal memory free then on his SD card. So he decided to transfer all of his music to internal memory.
The thing is,not one of the music players recognise songs on his internal memory . He says that only poweramp recognises ,but he doesn't want it . The file explorer sees the files in internal memory thought. Conundrum it is .
Someone know whats the deal ? Thanks in advance guys .:fingers-crossed:

Hello and thanks for reading. This being my first android im a bit confused as to how the storage works. From what I can tell I have Internal phone storage of 1.66GB , Internal SD of 13.03GB and external SD of 1.84GB. Now I know the External SD is the one i placed into the phone. I recently did a factory reset and re-formated the external sd.
The problem im having is when trying to place pictures, music, ect onto the external SD card there is no files whatsoever. So I have no idea where to place the files. Also with the internal sd and phone storage I have no idea what files are needed and what ones are left over from apps ect I previously uninstalled. So does anyone know what files are supposed to be on the external sd and what files must be on the internal/phone storage? Thanks in advance.
Ok so i just changed the camera option to save on SD card...took a random pic, and the DCIM file was created. Still would like to know what the default files are on the internal and phone storage if anyone can help. Thanks.
It doesn't really matter where you place them, media scanner will pick them up.
Hi All,
I am a newbie with Android,
So i decided to format the Internal SD, no problem.
After that my Internal SD had no Music(mp3) map..
So where do i have to put the mp3's ?
Thanks
It doesn't matter, that's what the media scanning is for. All your mp3s will show up in your music player.
I did already put the MP3's in the Internal SD map, but it doesnt show up at the phone MP3 player?
Format = Wipe Data .
jje
Can you explain me, what you want to tell me with Wipe data?
You have formatted the internal sd card yes .
if you format then you have wiped the data on that card .
Data from a formatted card may be recoverable using a tool like Recuva dependant upon the type of format .
jje
There is no Recuva for Mac OSx, but is there not another way without using a program?
Your phone is not a mac so i would google for a recovery program that works from a mac or try recovering from a Windows PC .
jje
I was talking about my iMac, there is no Rescuva for Mac OSx..
But i think there is another way without using program, because in the Internal SD there are few maps but not a map(s) for mp3,video..
damn !! you are so confusing lol, if you have formatted your internal sd card, you have wiped everything off it INCLUDING YOUR MUSIC !!!! if you want to try and get it back search google for ' recovery software for MAC'
if that is too much for you to take in and your brain cant handle the immense pressure of googling something, then just download your music again and put it back on the phone.
I am not that stupid mister!, i dont want the music or something else back, there is "no map for music/mp3".
If i put the MP3's in the Internal SD "map" self, they dont show up in the Music Player! so now you understand me?
well finally i understand lol........... BUT !!! whenever i put a song on to the sd card (not in any folder) my music player finds them.. What music player are you using ?? the stock one ??? i use winamp its much better
If i put the MP3's in the Internal SD "map" self, they dont show up in the Music Player! so now you understand me?
Eventually
Do you make a folder in your sd card for music.
Can you see the music in my files .
jje
Buy an external sd card and save yourself the hassel in the future..
Formatted again, and this time did it!
What the hell is a map?

Sometime when u booted up, your external card wasn't mounted. I can't find a solution other then performing a reboot.
Check under Settings -> SD card & phone storage, if your external card is available or unavailable.
It´s available 14,83 GB free ! Should the music files stores under music folder or just under external mem ? Must i transfer the files with LG suite IV or just drag/drop to external mem ?

Hmm it shouldn't matter where actually but I don't use Stock Music app so cannot confirm. I use PowerAMP. - my music files in ext sdcard.
If I remember correctly, I believe the stock music player only looks in the SD/media folder and all subfolders contained within. Can you locate the files using a file explorer program to verify they transfered correctly?
I think it doesn't matter which folder it is in. I have all my songs in a folder which I named "My Songs". And there's some more nested folders further down. They all gets recognised without any intervention from me. But the first scan took quite some time. Subsequent scans take only a couple of seconds.
Two ways media scanner will skip your folders.......
1. When your files in folder with folder name starting with "."
example, /.music <----- this folder will be skipped from scanning
2. When you have a ".nomedia" file inside a folder
I have solved it, thanks ! I am a noob, find out that _externalSD is not the real externalSD it is still on the phone, at last i find the 16gb external memory !!

The LOST.DIR folder can simply be deleted.
It contain orphaned or corrupted files that
are found when the phone does file system
checks on the SD card when you boot up the
phone.
yeah but thats the point i rally need to retrieve that data , Its really important
i have a similar problem - my phone was falling down to earth ....afterwards i got the error message that my micro-sd card is not accessible anymore ....and i just rebooted the phone.
now many of my photos and my complete music went to "Lost.dir" folder....
any way to recover it?!
many thanks!
its hard to restore the data back once it goes to Lost.Dir folder. its corrupted
A lesson to be present about backing up your phone, as with windows, don't backup at your peril! As stated, lost dir id for corrupt files, so you are unlikely to be able to retrieve

Do anybody know why I cant transfer any mp3 to nexus s internal memory? I used Astro file manager , because want use some mp3 like ringtone melody, but my mda doesnt see it when it is saved on sd card. Any help or telephone must be unlocked for thi operation? THX
Pretty sure you need to be unlocked to access outside the sd card. You could try an app like ringdroid to create one of your mp3
Sent from the bowels of hell
does android support that file type natively, if it does on your SD card make folders media/ringtones or media /notifications
thx for help, second answer works
