So i have a droid 2 global and everytime i try to save music on the sd card it disappears. I tried copy and pasting, doubletwist app, and now easy phone tunes. and it still does not show anything on the sd card. whats wrong?
Make sure there is no .nomedia flags in the folder you are saving your music.
Clarification: .nomedia is an empty file you put in a folder that you want to be ignored for scanning for media content. If such file is present, player will skip this location

the filetype might not be able to play in the media player (depending on media player) have you considered this? I know I use mostly mp3 but if you have AAC(apple conversion) or another it might not play.
fake sd cards
Are you using the original sd card?

I haven't really used my phone as an MP3 player, but now I have a nice, big SD card in it and have decided to copy some songs over.
When I load up Media Player (I like it. So sue me.) and tell it to update the library, it doesn't see the MP3s I put on the storage card. I tried putting them in the My Documents/My Music folder on the card and I even tried putting them in the same folder as that stupid Dogbark file in the main memory and the library NEVER finds them. Is there a trick to make media player see MP3s or what? I can open the files manually and Media Player will play them just fine.
Edit:
I wanted to mention that, when I do 'Update Library', the phone says it found 40+ files, but the device library only shows 4 files (dogbark, mommy, allouete and ding) and the storage card shows nothing.
Did you switch to Storage Card (Next to the Library button there is a drop down menu)?
Hey guys,
I had a problem with my phone in the time before I sent it back to Motorola. It was a 16GB SanDisk microSDHC and everything worked fine except the MP3.
A few of my MP3´s were detected by the phone, but that was maybe a third of all my music.
What should I do? I copied the Mp3´s from my iTunes-Library.

are those files signed with DRM ?
try other MP3 files
run the media scan again
in android market look for rescan media app, it lets you on/off and force media scan refresh
also make sure the folders where you have MP3 store does not contain a .nomedia file in it
How do I play music stored on SD card with Play Music?
The card was empty when I first inserted it in my phone. Android then put it's files in the SD card normally. I plugged my phone into my PC; I can see Android's folders in the Windows file explorer. I made a new folder labeled "Music" and copied my music into it. Google Play Music does not recognize anything on the SD card, only internally stored music. But my system music player sees the SD card just fine. The card is FAT32 formatted, if that does anything.
Anyone help?

Same issue here. Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx HD. 64gb FAT32 microSD. Android 4.1.2. Google Play Music v5.2.1301L.891271. Android sees music... Other apps do too. But not Play. Any ideas?
I use my phone as an mp3 player, and I have the music folder and download folder on our desktop pc shared on the home network.
when I want to put music on the phone, I use es file explorer to copy music from the shared folder to the sd card. sometimes files don't copy in alpha-numeric order, I think it happens when there's a wider variation in file sizes in the folder. the sd card is formatted in FAT (exfat, I think), which indexes files in order of creation.
if the files have been copied and indexed out of order, music player apps will then play them in that order, regardless of what the track numbers in the metadata says. this is an old problem that's been plaguing digital music fans for years.
it's relatively easy to fix, by just cutting and pasting the files into another folder on the sd card, where they are re-indexed into alpha-numeric order.
is there a way to stop it happening to start with, either at the phone end or on the pc (linux mint 17)? I'd assume that formatting the sd card in a different file system would just cause me problems, can I force es file explorer to copy the files in order? or is there a different file manager that will? or would sharing the files via ftp instead of smb sort it out?
IT FIXED ITSELF. Don't ask me how but I just booted the 700, open FM (file manger) and low and behold all the files on the microSD are showing in the category section ! ! !
TF700 on 7.1.2_27, using Asus File Manager v2.0.0.397_180123.
Ok here's what it's doing, I can use the file manger fine to browse the microSD card, but none of the file are showing in the "Category" section and the are in the correct folder (ie. music, pictures, ect.). I have scanned the microSD card for .nomedia and none were found. Also when I copied some songs to the music folder on the internal storage they show up in the category bubble for Music. Also because file manager doesn't categorized the media file on the microSD card correctly, Gallery and my music player do not show the files, but they will open and play music is I select individual files using the file manager.
Another thing, everything was working fine, it wasn't until after I copied a few songs from my cloud to the microSD via PC, reinserted the microSD in the TF700 that this problem started.
