A while ago I copied some albums onto my SD card (in a folder called Music) and when I went into the Music App they all appeared and played fine.
Since then i have deleted one of the albums and copied in a few more but when i go into the Music App now , i only see the original albums i coped a while ago, ie i still see the deleted one and i dont see any of the new ones.
I loaded up 3 (cubed) and this does the same
is there a music library i need to refresh or something?
fixed it myself, a dismount and mount of SD card worked, i guess a reboot would have done the same job
So I've been trying to get my playlists from Itunes onto the external SD card. It seems every app (google, Doubletwist, etc...) I've tried will read the playlists on my comp but will only place the music in the internal storage. When I try and move it to the external card and play it it get errors or just doesn't show up under the playlists anymore in the respective app. Any suggestions on new apps or any kind of help would be appreciated, as this kind of eliminates the point of buying a 32gb card. Thank you.
Not sure, I'm just grabbing at straws here, but doesn't the actual music file (mp3) also have to be on the external sd card as well?
Another words you cannot have your mp3's stored internally & the playlists stored externally. Also would moving the app itself to the ext-sd card help? Just throwing some ideas out there.
Hi all,
I asked this in the Android General Apps Q&A but didn't get much of a response, so I'm hoping some fellow Epic users can help me out:
I use doubletwist for listening to new music that is stored on my SD card. I use Google Music for streaming my favorite tracks that I have uploaded. The problem is Google Music automatically searches my SD card and displays all the music stored on my phone along with the artists/playlists/etc. that I have stored on the cloud, which makes it confusing when browsing the library. My question is: Can I prevent Google Music from searching and displaying what's on the SD card, but still allow doubletwist to see it? Thanks much!
I can't remember but isn't there like a file size limiter on google music options?

There's an option to show only offline music (i.e. what's stored on your phone), which is the opposite of what I want. I tried putting a .nomedia file in the SD card's music folder, but then doubletwist can't see it.
As I'm typing this, I thought of the solution. Don't even use the app, just play it straight through the web browser. I've done that for a while now to to play my library on my friends' phones, not sure why I didn't think of it before. Whole damn web is becoming so filtered through the lens of apps it was narrowing my thinking.
What if you placed a period in front of your music folder? Hiding it.
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?

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.

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
