I've seen other threads pertaining to this but I have more context around my situation that I hope will help. I'm running MiUi 1.11.4 on a Samsung Infuse 4g, and have flashed it after wiping data/cache. I have SetCPU running perfectly so that no UV/OC crashes occur. Everything runs fine until I reboot it for about the 2nd or 3rd time after flashing the ROM. Once that happens, it doesn't recognize the ext_sd card. I watched the music player load all music on both int and ext cards. Once I reboot, I watch the artists/songs/albums numbers dwindle as it fails to recognize them again. Any suggestions why this is happening? I CAN make changes to the ext_sd and can play the music or open files by using the File Manager to navigate to them, but the other apps don't recognize it.
ALSO: I've tried rescanning the music library.. any music app i use locks up and repeatedly force closes and never functions properly again

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?
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Google Music App opens, then closes within 4 to 5 seconds.
If i go to storage, and unmount sd card, the app works fine.
i have tried several roms, such as CM7, evilD, Faux, etc and the issue exists on all roms.
I also tried with a freshly formatted memory card and unless i unmount storage, the app opens and then closes shortly after.
any ideas from the community of how to fix it?
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)
After flashing KingCobra1X I can no longer see any music in the music player or any photos/videos in the gallery. I also tried flashing different roms, nothing. Any way to fix this?
Connect your phone to your computer via USB (disk drive mode) and see if the files show up, and if you can open them.
You might have gotten stung by the "contents of SD got wiped when flashing" bug.
I can still see them on a file explorer as well as on my PC.
I might try going into settings, manage apps, find gallery and clear its cache as well as google play music or what music app your using,
Reboot and test.

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
