[Q] Full music list not showing on sdcard2

Good morning,
I have really ben enjoying my TnT Lite 4.24 g Tab. However, I am having problems accessing all of my music on the sdcard2. I am sure it is user error, so hopefully someone can help me out.
All of my music was synced directly to the card on my Windows 7 laptop through Windows Media Player. All of the music is on the card. I then installed the card into the G Tab and turned it on, giving the G Tab a few minutes to scan the card (I think it does that) I start the Music app, but only a couple albums are avaialble. Why would this be?
Using ES Explorer, I see all the albums are there and can even play the music from ES Explorer, but not the Music app.
Any idea on what I may have one incorrectly getting the music onto the card, or how to fix this?
Thanks or any help!

I finally gave up storing music on the external sdcard. I have the best luck when I put all of my music and videos on the internal card. And the problems existed with the built in music app, and winamp.
Music Problems too
Hello,
I am also having problems with music files...my albums all show, however, some of the albums have songs appearing from completely different artists/albums...it's as if some index is corrupt or not properly compiled.
I'm running TnT Lite 4.4 and I've copied all of my music to the internal SD card. I've downloaded the WinAmp app and have the same problem as with the stock music player installed with the ROM.
Is there a way to rebuild the index? Or does such a thing exist?
Any ideas?
TIA...

It isn't stored on your SD card, it is stored as Cache for the app itself. If you want the music to be on your SD card, then you will have to use the physical program on the computer call Google Music Manager to download them to your computer and then transfer them to your SD card

I've had this problem with Google Music not seeing my music on the SD card. My solution has been to go into settings - apps, google music app and clear data and cache. Then fire up google music again and it should see your SD card's music.

[Q] Google Play Music - Music Playback Error??

Hello,
I recently upgraded to ICS and am having trouble using Google's Music Player to play my music. Note that I'm trying to play music from my SD card; I have no music uploaded to Google's Music Player. It worked fine in Gingerbread.
For some reason any time I click on a song an error pops up saying "Music Playback Error - unable to play song" or something similar. Not to mention I have duplicate playlists (3 of the same playlist) in my Playlist list.
Anyone know of a fix for this? I like the layout of the default Music Player but should I just switch to another player? Any suggestions?

i just experienced this error also just few hours ago & until now i cant play my favorite music . shall we transfer all music files in SD?
Im having the same problem. i tried formatting both sd cards but everytime i go back into google play the music is still there and is unplayable. in my other music player the same problem. im on the stock ics build unrooted. i also cleared cache in settings and in stock recovery as well. im about to root and flash a custom rom but would rather not have to do all that. any suggestions?

also i have not set up cloud storage so it should not be related to that either
Work around google play music
I found a work around- not a solution to the issue with the app...but I'm playing my music!
Open a web browser on your phone to music.google.com
When I do that all my music is right there. It plays fine. I guess its what the ipad/ipod/iphone peeps use to creep onto the Google music cloud. Ironic...
-Running a Droid X
I was told to move music to internal. Its running fine so far, but time will tell

Found a solution to my problem
Just wanted to chime in on how I found my fix, although it was for issues playing off the cloud, when I originally copied songs to SD then deleted off.
My Google Music would play music and gave me a playback error message. But I figured it was due to songs that I had originally copied to the external SD, and recently deleted. Playing those songs from the cloud gave me the error, while songs I never copied to SD played just fine.
So my thoughts were that the phone probably still thinks its playing those songs from the SD when it shouldn't because I deleted them.
My solution: turn off data and wifi, set google music to show only what was on device (because it still thinks songs were still stored in the phone), and deleted every single song one-by-one, a tedious process.
Then go manage apps and cleared app cache, uninstalled the app, reboot, reinstall, turn on wifi+data... and voila, those songs are playing off the cloud again.
If that didn't work then I would've factory reset.
I would think that this would work too for songs that were on SD card, but when I had problems with external SD music, I just cleared app cache, unmount SD and reboot.
Hope this helps for anyone else that runs into this problem.
Have u tried using another music app vincom jb mod has no music player I prefer player pro its very nice and has many options compared to stock

Clearing Google Play Music Cache and wiping Data would have been enough.
Solved my problem this way!
Google play error
I have a rooted Asus Nexus 7
I had a problem with Google play music
It would stop playing part way through songs
But I found a solution to the problem
Uninstall the factory installed app with titanium backup
Then go to Google app store and search for google play and reinstall the app
It now works fine for me it has been functioning for 3 days with out problems
As much as google support wanted me to unroot my device or they wouldn't help me with my issue I hope this helps everyone out
A small solution that worked for me.
I just received a error meesgae when I trued to listen to my music on android tablet. I found a solution that worked for me. I removed my SD card and then placed it back into my tablet. Then I went to setting>storage and set storage to SD card. I went back to Google music player to make sure my device was looking for music from the sd card. My music is saved on my device so of course there was no music to be found. Then I went back to storage settings and selected device for storage. Went back to music player there was all music and they all played fine.

[Q] Managing music on TF300 MicroSD

I have my music saved on a 32GB MicroSD card to play on my TF300. My issue is that I have more than 32GB of music on my computer and haven't found a good way to load and manage the music on my computer onto the MicroSD card.
I've tried Winamp but wasn't successful in easily choosing the music I wanted and had a hard time syncing to my tablet for some reason..
Any good apps or software out there to help me sync my music between my computer and SD card?
You could always copy/ paste what u want

I use Media Go to manage music on my devices. You can create custom lists and sync them with the device (even if it is a flash drive or a non-Sony device).
If you upload your music to Google Music, it has the option to sync/download to your device when you open the webpage player.

I have synced all the music from my itunes to my sd card successfully including the playlists. I use "easy phone sync" available in play store. Give it a try.
Though I have not tried playing music by simply copy pasting into my sd card.
Cheers!!

Try downloading another music player on google play and see if it does detect.
I use MXPlayer, although it is primarily used for playing videos, they added the audio function as well. You can give it a go. Go to settings and check "Use as an audio player", then go back to the list and refresh. All your songs should show up.
