I have a folder with a bunch of music mp3 files in a folder located on my ext sd card in the DCIM and Music folder.
Is there a way to play all the songs in the folder either sequentially or random?
Yes, copy the mp3s from the sd card and then paste them in the phone's memory.

Can someone explain this better. Paste into the phones memory? How? If they are on the SD card they are part of the phones memory already?
Files on the sd card are not in the phone's memory. Open the file where the music is on the card, select them sll, right click and choose copy. The phone's memeory will now come up on the screen. Right click anywhere on the screen and select paste here. Your player will load them into a playlist on your player.

Thanks I will try but then how do I remove the songs from memory so I don't keep filling up memory?
The songs you copied or on the sd card? I always back up my phone once a week via KIES then I delete any extra files on my phone and card. I also back up my memory card on my pc atleast once a month.

I have over 1600 songs in a file on my external sd card and they play just fine with either Poweramp or the stock music player. @outcasted2003, I think you're calling the internal storage the phone memory.
How do you put 1600 songs into a file? I have a external sd card with 50 songs in a folder and I would like to play all the songs with one instruction to the player. How did you get 1600 songs into a single file?

I have a 64Gb sd card. Is yours extremely small? I don't know why you think this is something out of the ordinary. Any music player app should be able to search the external storage find the music and play it.
1. I have plenty of room on the 128 GB SD card. I have 200 songs in a folder. The music app can only play one song at a time. I want to find a way to play all the songs automatically one after the other.
2. The guy who says he combined all 1600 songs into one file how did he do that?

What music app are you using? The stock player just plays one song after another for me. Every music player I've ever used did the same. Are you selecting them out of the file manager or something? I don't understand why it would play only one song then stop. That's bizarre.
And about putting 1630 songs in one file. That's normal too. The my_music file has 12.79 Gb of music in it. I've been accumulating songs for years and I just keep putting them in there. Every time I switched to a bigger card I copied the whole contents of the card into my computer then copied that into the new card. I have a lot of other stuff stashed on the card too and I have over 28 Gb space left. I probably should have bought the 128 Gb card too instead of being cheap.

How are you getting your music?
1. I assumed that the player would stop after the first song and notg o on. I will try it.
2. About combining multiple songs into one file how is this done? What PC app will do this?

If you have the Samsung USB drivers installed in your computer then hook your phone to your computer with a USB cord and Windows can access the files in your phone. It shows as another drive in "My Computer". You can copy and paste songs, pictures, videos or just about anything that your phone can deal with in there.
---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------
After you plug the USB cord in pull down the notification pulldown and it will ask what kind of connection you want. Tap that then select "Media device". Then you can access your phones files. Then the absolute most important step comes when you want to unplug it. In the System Tray there will be an icon with a check mark on it that says "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" when you hover over it. Click it then wait for it to come back with "Eject Samsung-SM-N910V". Click that and it will tell you your Samsung device can be safely removed. Only after that can you unplug your phone. This is the most important thing you can do when you unplug anything from a USB port on your computer. If you just yank the cord out without doing it your device might end up corrupted requiring a re-format. Believe me I know. I've corrupted my sd card and my external hard drive before and lost every bit of data on them when I had to re-format.
Use the search function to only use that file and it will play all the songs in that file/folder. I have 16000 songs in one folder and set the player to only play from that folder
try this...
Open the Music app
Select Create playlist
Select the +
Select the FOLDER tab at the top and then navigate and select the folder.
Press the checkbox at the top and it should select everything.
Click DONE
Play the playlist

Hey I just bought this phone yesterday (had the galaxy before)
and today i opened up the music player and loaded the songs from my sd card, but for some reason everything is (about 90%) of my songs are under the album "audio" with unknown as the artist/album. but then the rest of the 10% song are under albums...how can i fix this? its quite annoying now to find songs by certain artist since everything is UNKNOWN.
i also tried using another music player (pro player or something like that) and same thing
either your files lost the mp3 tags for some unknown reason, or something else is wrong there.
either case try out this great app

so is there any way to diagnose the problem to see what it REALLY is?
also is there an easy way to put the tags back onto the files?
OKAY SO I FIGURED THIS ONE OUT LOL
go to settings, applications, all, find 'media storage' click on it. clear data.
then go to settings and sd storage, unmount sd card. then once available, hit mount sd card. let it scan fully
then go to music player and all songs should be grouped into albums, etc etc etc..
someone can close this thread now and keep it for reference for newbies like myself who run into this issue
Ok, I am trying to make new a playlist that will stay on my device (razr m). I have tried to make one on the device, but you cant move the music around to make a specific list. Then, when you do take the time to do so - when the sd card is removed, you loose the playlist. I have tried windows media player and I keep getting errors of it not being able to sync several songs, which are already on my device.
Very frustrated!

I, too, have struggled with the same concept. for whatever reason, this app best works by creating your playlist online, and then syncing it to your phone - in turn, it will download your songs and place them in the internal storage. you'll notice that the size of this app increases as a result.
the app still recognizes songs stored on your external sdcard though.
my only other thought would be to use other music apps like winamp.
edit: just found this, and I'll try it tonight. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...e-all-google-play-music-external-sd-card.html
update: this process worked for me! I was now able to free up more than 1GB of space on internal storage by moving my songs to the external sd card.
I have my music stored on the external sd card. The music plays fine. When I copy a play list from my computer, only some of the songs are listed. Amy ideas?

So I have my saved to phone file (music) and I have them attached to a play list. Then I set in the wear app to allow store on watch, pulled up the list and clicked the playlist I wanted to send to watch. Then on the watch I hit play Music and on wear, and the list shows, I then pick what I want and see a orange check on the bottom of the watch screen. What ever I do with that check, swipe or click it just goes back to the watch face?
Has anyone got the Music to transfer to the watch?
Yes, it works for me. Try to follow these instructions:
http://www.wareable.com/android-wear/how-to-get-music-on-your-android-wear-smartwatch
It takes a while to transfer the songs from the phone to the watch. In Google Play Music, you can go to Settings > Manage Wear Downloads and check the progress in the orange circle. When the transfer is complete, you should get a notification on your watch.

Thanks for the info, I actually found that same page & tried several times. I even get the watch to show the list and pick albums, playlists, songs, and then try that orange check and nothing.
Cleared cashe on music app, reset connections, and rebooted both devices. It all reads just like the web page except for the actual file transfer. I get error phone disconnected on the watch, yet when I go to wear app it is connected. Or I just see the watch go back to the watch face, no notification what so ever. Sigh.
looks like many are having issues, depending on the version of google play music. It also seems it has been broke, fixed, broke again. These things do happen when working on updates and such, I'll keep checking for an update. https://productforums.google.com/fo.../DGr1WPiy9Po;context-place=forum/android-wear
We found the issue, and I have music transferring now!
It is related to sd card, two ways to get past googles sd card failure.
1. put a .nomedia file on your sd card root folder, this will work if you have a third party music app that will allow you to choose an sd card folder so it still reads files.
2. put music files you want on internal memory and remove sd card until music is transferred. keep that music on internal when replacing sd card.
I believe this is an issue with googles sd card security, and you probably won't see this if you have marshmallow and have formatted the sd card the new way making it your secure memory. If you choose to keep your sd card as removable and usable elsewhere you will need to try some type of work around. It frustrates me but the way they are doing it is more secure in the long run. I just never put files that need securing on my sd card in the first place, just music, games, videos.
I'm glad it worked!
My phone is running Android Marshmallow and the songs are stored in the internal memory (not the SD card). Maybe this is the reason why I didn't have problems in first place.

Thanks! I'm super Happy with the results. I used the .nomedia on sd card. I have 1.4 GB now on the watch and I'm able to do my walking with bluetooth sound, without carrying the phone.
I have a tiny issue with Google play Music directory! When I buy a song I download it on the SD card I find the actual Mp3 in the directory:
Android/Data/com.google.android.music/Files.
But I have no SD card anymore and I can't find the actual mp3. The same directory in the internal memory is empty!
Have someone the same problem and probably solution?
And if I buy the new Nm Card from Huawei, can I find the my music files there?
Thanks!
Google Play Music .mp3 files that have been downloaded to the device are located by default in the internal directory you have quoted, but they cannot be seen. Once you insert an SD card and go into Google Play Music settings and change the default download directory to SD card then the files are moved to the identical directory on the SD card and are suddenly visible. Why I don't know, but it was also driving me nuts until I purchased and inserted a Huawei NM card, changed the default download location, and voila - I could 'see' my music library (although Google Play Music annoyingly replaces the .mp3 titles with numbers).
I found a small Solution of the problem without to buy a NM Card. The card is way too expensive and with 128 gb internal memory I don't really need It.
You can log you in from the Device's internet browser in your Google account and set the browser to go in Desktop mode.
Then go to music library and you can download any track you've purchased, but CAREFUL - only two Times! (I don't know why. Google is a weirdo!)
