Android System ain't recognizing new Music and Photos folders

Hi Folks,
This is a strangest strange problem "Android System ain't recognizing new Music and Photos folders"
I've created a couple of new folders one for music and other for photos.
Looks like android system core isn't scanning these newly added folders
What am I looking for? Solution (A new core 'd resolve the issue not sure)
Currently I'm using
PowerAMP as ma music app-- PoweAMP app relies on the android sys to maintain the music library so I can't see my newly added mp3s no surprise, but you can always seek your files in Folders
JustPictures as ma Gallery app-- This is pretty good app does the work cleanly..
No prob whatsoever
Guys if you're facing the same issue fill in your default music and photo app replacements
Thanks,

What rom are you using? I had the same problem with orangepot cm6. Reflashed and it fixed it.

Install SDrescan from market and run it

Had a similar problem, just try unmount/remount of your SD.

I also had that problem before..Just backup all files in your sd and reformat your sd card and it will work again..

[APP] SGS3 Music Player + Beats Audio

Have come across a beautiful SGS3 Music Player ported for SGS2. It works fine in our device.
FULL CREDIT GOES TO THE BELOW ORIGINAL POST
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726776&highlight=ported
[CWM flashable zip for SGR is available in 3rd post below ].
Beats Audio
After flashing the latest beats audio libs (attached), the music quality in headset has certainly been improved. It doesn't add any Bass to the music but indeed it adds quality to the music.
[TESTED ONLY IN STOCK 4.0.4 DEODEXED]. I have no idea about other ROMs. Please keep the CWM backup ready .
Don't forget to Thank the developer in the original thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
[Update]
For the music lovers who wants the right music player (besides Poweramp) that uses beats audio libraries here you go.
MIUI Player with Beats audio rocks. Unlike SGS3 ported player, MIUI has equalizers. Though it doesn't have predefined effects option to choose (that supports all the effects of beats) but still it rocks and it is the best player that uses beats audio as of now.
If I find any DSP manager modded with beats that really supports all the beats music effects and works fine with SGR, will keep you informed.
Please Hit THANKS if you like my work and it is totally free

Can you check if the below files exists and their permissions as well.
Inside /system/app folder - MusicPlayer.apk
/system/lib - libmusicsquarelib.so
The permissions should be rw-r--r--

Cwm zip seems to be perfectly fine. I removed the files manually and then flashed the zip file. Got the files back and everything working fine.
Can you check the free space of system lib folder.
If you have experience in moving files to system folder you can extract the zip file and manually move the files inside system folder.

I tried & now successful. you can also. then let me know. cause if its working for me then can work for you as well..try it out buddy:victory:

Keeps fcing for me. Tried installing through Cwm, putting the files manually through root explorer, wiping dalvik cache, but still to no avail.
EDIT: I tried installing the apk file and it works! Anyway, does the in app equalizer work? I tried changing the equalizer but didn't hear any difference. And what is music square for?

try music Equalizer app for the same. its amazing.:angel:

Attached Beats Audio libs in the first post. Tested and music quality in headset has certainly improved.
Can anyone mod DSP manager to use beats audio for SGR.
SGS3 Music Player + DSP Manager + Beats Audio would be a dream come true for me :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:

Are you sure that the music is in a format supported by the player, files not corrupted, etc.?

I can play em but not thru music app but by navigating to the sd card n selecting the songs nd the details of the song are displayed as null null null

Stock rooted ICS OTA & Class 6 SD (but yet SD can get corrupted) so two misnomers out of the way. You mentioned Play Music so what is the stock music player separately you mention (did you install the apk later after sourcing from XDA?)
Post some screenshots for better understanding. Try reformatting your card and recopying the music tracks on the SD & check.

Feel free to hit the thanks button
Though the matter is resolved, on my stock rom OTA ICS upgrade I have only Play music app only which replaced the original GB Moto music app but which I later reinstalled using apk from XDA and now both co-exist.

Song details being shown as null...may mean that the song metadata i.e. ID3 tags need fixing. Any media player on your PC should be able to do that or you could download specialised software for that.
Have you tried another media player on your phone?
