Hi all,
First of all, sorry if this isn't in the right sub-forum.
My step-mum's recently got herself a Wildfire and wanted some music putting on it. My younger brother tried copying some music over from his PC but when he opened the default music player, no music whatsoever was there (including the rubbish that comes pre-loaded on there).
I connected the phone to my PC and the music my younger brother copied over was not on the SD card at all. I assumed he messed something up so tried transfering the music over myself but when I unmount the SD card from my PC and open the default music player it says it can't find any music. And when I reconnected the SD card to my PC, the music is no longer there
I've installed doubletwist but it can't find any music on the phone and I've tried repeatedly unmounting and mounting the SD card to force it to rescan. I really have no idea what's up.
Any ideas would be much appreciated guys.
Sorry for asking but I need to first off, try loading the music unmount from PC then mount to PC see if music there.
If not, problem is SD.
If yes, problem is wildfire + SD.
If its wildfire + SD try putting card in seperate reader and format with HP format program (will try to link at later date). If this can't be done use windows to format, file system should be fat32. Then put it back in phone load music app, demount from wildfire and load music into a folder named music.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. It turned out to be the SD card. I had a spare 1 which I put in her phone and it's working fine.
Glad I could help.

I have a Desire HD that was branded in Orange UK. I bought a 16gb sandisk sdcard and debranded, downgraded, rooted, radio off and i run leedroid's 3.3.0 rom.
My problem is when i try to copy from pc media files. At first started with videos, but this was settings matter and solved with handbrake and some net search.
This regards music. I crop a song with Nero wave editor to use it as ringtone to DHD. I saved it as mp3 with lame mp3 option of encoding.
I put it in a folder named call tunes and copied to phone through usb cable and set the phone to disk mode. Other times plays the entire song (40 sec) others only 7 secs and others it says that it can't play this file. One time i copied the song and when i disconnected the usb cable wasn't anything copied to the phone.
Today i tried with a card reader and when i copy the folder i get the message "massive storage device. Put again the disk" I remove and reattach the card reader but the folder is empty, nothing written, only the folder copied.
I'm going crazy! Any help please?
Try formatting the card to fat32. Might help.

Thaks but it's already formatted to FAT32.
I'm now trying to copy all the contents to another sdcard to see what happens.
But i get very often a weird message:
Compressed files (as divided)
Insert the last disk of the total number of volumes and click "OK" to continue.
Very confused.
I tried again to create a folder and copy some mp3 songs.
I see them while connected to pc but when i disconnect the usb cable the folder disappears. It's like a ghost. At first is there but after usb cable disconnect dissapears!
I tried the samsung 8gb that came along with my DHD and guess, it worked!
I copied songs and a video which played fine.
I will try to reformat the sandisk sdcard to see if something changes!
Ok, here goes nothing.....
Sorry in advance if there's a thread with a similar problem, but I didn't find anything with the search function
Recently, I've installed the Cyanogen mod on my HTC Desire.
Since it only had a 2 gig SD card in it, and I want to use it to play music in my car, I decided to go for a 8 gig SDHC memory card.
Here's where it gets tricky....
Somehow, when I use the new memory card, the phone's applications don't see the media files on it. This goes for the music, ringtones, notifications and alarm sounds, even though they do show in de browser.
I've made a one on one copy of the files. Both with a card reader as with USB.
When I put the old card back in, the files are found by the device (or rather, by the applications).
Things I've checked so far:
- File locations
- File system (both FAT)
- Formatting the card.
Anyone got any suggestions?
(And off topic, sorry for the elaborate post )

I have my music on my SD card location: /sdcard/external_sd/Music but when I open a music player (I have tried the pre-installed program and Winamp) I cannot find them at all. I have to go through Astro File Manager to find the music and indiviually click on the one song I want to listen to at that moment. Once the song is over, I have do repeat the process all over again. The file plays just fine in both players, but the player cannot find the files on their own. I pulled all the info from my sd card, reformatted it and placed the files back in there and it still did not help.
Any of you have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Peter!
It took me awhile to figure out on my phone. When I mount it I get a drive for the internal memory and one for the sd card. When I put the music folder on the root level of the sd card it worked fine. Hope this helps.
A few days ago, I decided to give my music a huge overhaul, so I plugged it in and put a ton of albums that I had on my computer to my external sd under the folder
"My Music"
I then bought an album, All The Little Lights by Passenger, I noticed that a lot of the tracks aren't playing and Google Play Music was giving me a ton of problems when I tried to play it. I removed all my music from the SD card and backed it up, then I tried putting it back into the SD card and it's giving me a file or directory error when I place the .mp3's into that folder, I then formatted it and backed up everything on it, Everything else transferred perfectly fine except for my music, then I separated the music from the other backed up files. I can place maybe 15 .mp3's into a folder before they tell me a file or directory error, I figured that I won't go into anything and try and separate my music by folders of 15 - 20, I end up making 6 folders and then I unplug it, nothing was showing up so I plugged my SD card back into my computer and looked inside the folders, absolutely nothing.
....Help? The weird part is that I can put files into the root of the external SD perfectly fine.
Sorry! I messed up the model, it's a T989
tl;dr : tried to put music onto my sd card, gives me error, formats and puts it back, still errors, i can still put the music in the root of my SD card however.
I'm running CyanogenMod 10 on my S II
I've attempted using DiskRestore Professional and it says all sectors are good, I've even used the general windows repair thing, it tells me it repaired something but then it messes up equally as bad once I unplug it.
I know with the introduction of kitkat or its recent iterations of 4.4.2 and so on, that there were some preventative measures taken to stop them from being written to. The question i pose is i have tried adding music to my sdcard i from my computer. The odd thing is that the sdcard will read as if it has something written to it but, in ES explorer my music folders are empty. I have looked around and nothing has been found. Other than the sdcard write fix which ARHD supposedly has according to the app i tried. The music app is use it Poweramp it will read the files but cant play them while HTC's music player will play them but only the first few seconds.
So am i stuck mainly using my sdcard mainly for pictures or is there away to get it to work pre kitkat. Also note i have tried putting the music on the onboard storage than move it to the sdcard and that was also a no-go

I'm unrooted stock rom and have copied music from pc to sd card with no problems. What folder is it you're moving the music to? I have a folder called music that I created and move any downloaded music into it. I can play it through the stock music without any problem. Possibly a corrupt folder or sd card? Have you tried removing files you want to keep, formatting then copying back your files?

I created a folder called Music same as the one on the onboard storage. It may be the sdcard not being recognized properly and files not being transferred correctly as well. The music on my desktop plays fine no skipping whatsoever. Its just once it hits the sdcard does it seem to go astray. Maybe a new rom is in order and staying away from ART.

Hi,
regarding what you said about being able to copy your music files onto the sd - are you also able to write into a file (let's say word doc)on your sd from your (presumably) windows-pc?
Thanks

If you have a USB card reader, try re-formatting the card on your computer.
I've seen several folks with various quirky and random read issues, and a simple re-format cleared it up, when the phone's own format feature didn't help. Also a common symptom, the SD card works fine on other devices.
Folks keep accusing the KitKat SD permission changes. But those changes only apply to write permissions, not read permissions. My gut feeling, its some quirk with the phone itself and something to do with SD formatting.

Reformatted from the phone. can not do it from my laptop because it says it is write protected. have not got a program to get around that yet. as for creating word doc, have not tried it. going to put it in wife's S5 and see if it likes it better and see if her card likes my phone any better . as for the card itself it is a Sandisk ultra class 10 32gig.
