Copied all my songs onto internal memory, music player says that it cant play the file types, they are all mp3's...however poweramp works fine and plays all of them. Anyone else having this issue?
I don't know why you would put media on the internal memory. I have 8Gb of mp3's on my external sd and have no issues with the stock music player and Power Amp also works well.

It has 16GB internal..what else would you do with 16gb's of space, besides media? Anyhow I rebooted and it started working fine, so I guess I should of tried that before ever posting.
well at least now we know reboot after copying media files to internal memory. lol
I think it has to rescan the media card after all those songs are put into the internal memory. rebooting forces rescanning.
ALSO you guys should download Music PLayer 3.0 beta from Google. It works on Froyo but not on the JVB JVH cappy's hahahaha... its a nice bonus
Having same issues, with a twist.
I like custom ringtones. So, I did what I have done for all previous android phones. I placed two folders (ringtones and notifications) on the 16 gig internal memory partition. I set up my custom ringtone via settings and imported my music. All was well. I tested out the ringtone and had several phones calls. About two hours later though, I looked at my phone and noticed I had some missed calls. That was odd, as the phone was sitting right next to me. I went to settings and none of my custom ringtones would work, just the stock ones. I also tested out music player and it said invalid format for every one of my mp3's. Doubletwist simply said the file could not be found. The only one that would play them was Moboplayer. I rebooted the phone and everything started working again. So, I thought it was a fluke. Turns out, another 6 hours later, same thing happened again. I had added no new files, etc. My custom ringtones and mp3's simply quit working and again, only Moboplayer would play my mp3's. This is all fixed by a reboot though. However, I shouldn't have to reboot every few hours because I'm afraid my ringtones will quit working. Any ideas? Sorry this was so long.
This started doing the exact same thing to me a couple of days ago. All of my music, videos, an customer ringtones stop playing. I have tried several different music players and they all receive an error that they cannot play the music type. Restart the phone, and bam, everything plays normally. Later in the day, it comes right back. Any suggestions?

How do you have your media folder setup?

I've been searching all over for a similar issue but no luck.
I accidentally pulled the SD card w/ out unmounting it. From everything I've read the SD card is usually messed up and needs to be formatted. In this case everything on it is okay except that I can't play my music in through music player unless I go through root explorer and select a song. What is wrong here?

Did you try remounting it through Settings/Storage?
If it's in the Xoom, unmount and remount. Or you could backup the sdcards contents, reformat it in a android phone, then reinstall your content and try it again.
I did try the unmount/mount thing but unfortunately it didn't fix it. I was afraid I might have to backup and format the card, 26gb is going to take a while. It's just odd how its only my music, it will play through Root Explorer using the music player but won't play directly through the music player itself.
I'll give it a go later and report back.
Have you tried another music player? or uninstalling updates and reinstalling them?
Yep, winamp plays just fine. The problem is only with the Google Play Music player. It just says "Couldn't play the track you requested" It won't allow me to delete it to reinstall it or remove updates. I think I'll try flashing a new rom before formatting the SD. The latter is very undesirable.
Okay, all of a sudden the mp3s don't appear as mp3s anymore. They just read as 'file' they didn't say that earlier today. Strange that they play just fine in other scenarios .Now amost everything looks ruined.
Thanks guys. Format time.
Btw, files look ruined according to Windows Explorer. Root Explorer says everything is normal.
Pardon my rambling on, but everything on the card works on my Incredible - even the Google Music player plays everything just fine.
I'm absolutely perplexed
Have you tried clearing out the data for Google Play Music? Or the other affected apps?
Yep tried that but it didn't fix it.
Now I can't even get the SD to mount in neither the phone or Xoom. The eff is going on here?!
Edit:
Well I got the Xoom to see it but it says blank SD and offers to format it. I just worry that if I format the SD card it formats the internal card. I should be safe?
Have you tried looking at the card on a computer without the xoom? (Sdcard reader etc)
If that doesn't work, if you are worried about formatting the Xoom's internal storage, you could always just pop the sdcard into a computer, and then format it to fat32. Then you can just put the sdcard back into the xoom and you should be good to go. Just note, that would erase all of your data on the card.
Hello, this is my first post so bare with me.
I have recently encountered a problem with the media scanner & media related apps in general.
For example, sometimes my phone would run media scanner for 30 minutes straight without stopping, and I would have to clear data on the media storage app to stop it, but that is very annoying as it clears my music playlists as well. Even apps such as dropbox has problems as well. For example, when I try to upload some pictures, the pictures dont show up and just freeze my phone for around 2 minutes or so. And as I open media related apps such as gallery or music player, the phone would freeze again. It is getting quite annoying, and I would like to know how to solve it.
I have tried various ways, such as formatting SD card, repairing SD card (even though there isnt corrupted files) and more.
I am on a stock ROM, not rooted. On a galaxy s2 LTE (Canada Rogers variant)
just try reformatting the sd card again - hilarious.
no seriously that isnt a terribly clear question, sounds like your having all sorts of issues,
you could try
1. resest to factory defaults - if it was working fine when you got it
2. install a custom rom - if its been happening since you got it
Thanks for your reply , but I think it happened after I installed a certain app. I will see if this problem occurs again. (Stopped it with clearing data from media storage again)
I don't think this is carrier specific but I am having a horrible time trying to transfer my music to my phone. I would use Airdroid but I want my music on my 64GB external SD. I also do not have any card readers laying around.
So here's the issue. When I highlight some folders to send over of music (lets say a full discography of a band) the transfer always times out. Eventually it'll ask if I want to quit the transfer or skip the song it is stuck on, however it never fixes itself. It is not a problem with the specific song as it randomly chooses which it doesn't like, and they are all the same formats. Its as if the phone itself has a bug in the OS that is not allowing transfering to happen. My only fix at this time is to upload 5-10 songs at a time. I plan on filling this whole SD card with music, so that is unacceptable.
Hi there, i have one little problem,i recently flashed new custom rom, so im running omni rom 4.4 kitkat... everything is fine, just all of my music players are driving me crazy because when i play any song it skips to another one like every 2 seconds. I tried built-in player and Poweramp, two situations always occur:
1.) player is working properly but songs are skipping, like... it still shows the same song, but it starts to play song number 2 for few seconds, then number xxx, then number yyy, then back to 1 and so one...
or
2.) songs are not skipping but after 3-4 songs music player freezes and i have to turn it off manually through settings...
im going to add one more information cause i think it could be related to the one above (im not 100% sure), when i copy files from SD card to internal memory, it freezes (sometimes after few files, sometimes immediately), the same occurs when i connect phone to USB on computer, it recognises the device but after some time it disappears - and if i even success to try to transfer some files it just freezes down.
my conclusion would be that there is a problem with internal storage, but im not a pro so i would like to hear your oppinions... cheers
okay so update:
i tried to flash stock rom which is JB 4.1.2 and few situations happened... i copied my music to both internal memory and sdcard and tried to play it with and without headphones....
- when using internal memory with headphones, it keeps skipping
- when using internal memory without headphones, it keeps skipping
- when using memory card without headphones, everything is allright
- when using memory card with headphones, everything is OK but it happened maybe twice that it started to skip again
im starting to think that its some internal memory issue....
i saw some guides how to do a bad sectors check using terminal so im gonna give that a go, then i will try to flash 4.4 back again and we'll see whats gonna happen
I don't have unlimited data, so I prefer using Play Music's download feature to store music to my phone so I can listen to it on the go without using up my data. Specifically, I have a class 10 32GB micro SD card that I have the app use for the storage.
The problem is, every time I download songs, when I play them, they're all messed up. They frequently have clipping, distortion, etc., and it's borderline unlistenable. And it's not just a few songs, it's every single one. Basically, they sound like they would if you were to stream them and happened to be on a pretty poor connection. But they're not being streamed...
I've tried clearing the cache and data on the app, I've uninstalled and reinstalled and redownloaded the songs, and the issue persists.
Any fix for this? Thanks in advance.
As a small "update", I decided to try a little test, to see if perhaps my memory card was the problem. I downloaded some songs to the card, listened to them to hear them mess up (they did), then I cleared all my downloaded music and switched the storage space to my phone's internal memory, downloaded songs again and listened to them to see if they'd mess up, and once again, they did. So whatever the problem is, it doesn't seem like it has to do with the memory card.
I don't know what else to do, though... My home Internet is fine and works well with all my other devices, so I don't think it's a matter of having a bad connection for downloading. This is so frustrating, and I don't know what else to do...
Edit: Another update... In my searches for info, I saw someone mention something about having issues with music when headphones are plugged into the jack. So I tried downloading some songs and playing them on my phone's speaker, sans anything plugged into the jack, and lo and behold, I don't hear any issues with the music. That's extremely bizarre... There has to be a fix for this, right? Maybe? I hope...?
