Anyone know what would cause this? And what would fix it without going through 1 by 1?

Are you using a media player or something to sync music to your phone? That's the only time I've ever seen it happen.

I just installed Poweramp (again) butni dont think that would do it

Never had it happen on the 4g but it's happened once on my Skyrocket. Still don't know what the cause was. Every time I rebooted I'd have one more set of songs as well as photo's from the gallery. I ended up just reflashing, but someone over there had this as a suggestion

I think poweramp allows you to see track locations. Long press a song and check where it's located on the sd card, then long press the duplicate and check where that one is. Maybe there are just 2 copies on the sd card, if not then it's a library problem with poweramp. You can always rebuild the library.
If you were using jetplayer it could be because it builds a database and other players like poweramp does that also. If you dont have two actual copies then its because of a database creating two listings in your playlist.
another thing to try is sd maid. It should pick up the duplicates if they are there and allow you to remove them. Not sure if you can remove singly or in groups tho.

Ive got sd maid and I thought about using it actually. Would uninstalling jetAudio fix it?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Maybe if it removes all the db files on uninstall. Is your music saved in the media folder on your sdcard or another folder? I know on older versions of froyo and gb there was a bug that if music wasnt in a folder called media then it would show up twice because media scanner would create a fake media folder and non stock players would see it and duplicate the songs.
Can we get an ETA on when you'll find a solution for this? Trollololol.

What could make my gallery not read my pics. I have to use quikpic. Or even winamp not reading mp3's. I have to use poweramp. Thanks in advance. Tried reformatting sd card once and still didn't work.

Hm, you check the format of the pictures or the music? Sometimes the gallery or media players don't understand some formats.
My pics are jpg and music mp3. Should be read. Thanks for responding.

you tried quickpic and it didnt work?? what i would suggest is removing the sd card from your phone. then saving all of the media (media only!) on the computer. format the sd card on the computer (fat32). then put the sd card back in your phone. format it on the phone. then connect the phone to the computer and copy all of the media back onto it. reboot recovery. clear cache and fix permissions and see if it works.
Thats the thing. It does work with quickpic. And poweramp plays fine. Gallery is useless. Lot of other players wont read mp3. Have reformatted in past on PC too.

go into cwm and fix permissions.
Done that. Doesn't matter which rom I use also. Thanks.

then you are doing something wrong. if quickpic can see the pictures, then it is not a hardware problem. go to setting and manage applications and clear all data, cache and updates to the gallery. then go back and fix permissions.

Did all that and still not working. Took couple of pics and they came out in gallery. Restarted phone and now they cant be found. In quickpic I have to show all hidden for them to show. Might be something about the tags. Don't know.

this one is perplexing. can you try to switch the apk with one from another rom and see if that works?

I'm running Valhalla 1.3.2 and my folder is /DCIM/camera.
**EDIT**
I also have a thumbnails folder in /DCIM
I hope this helps and you resolve your problem.
Dude same was happening with just check your SD Card for errors from your PC...My problem was fixed after this no need to format or change your ROM just check for the errors from your PC.
Ok, quick question, I have duplicate folders showing in my music player, I've looked to see if there actually are duplicates, which there are not but in the location details of the folder both are pointing to the same place, just saying it different... mnt/sdcard/....
sdcard/....
I don't have an external sdcard installed at the moment, for some reason my phone wont read it and says it can't recognize the file system.... how do i fix the duplicate folders issue? And if anyone has any comments on the ext sdcard issue, they're more than welcome share... thanks.

You should be able to fix it if you wipe data for media storage.
That wont erase my music, right?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
No.
Also could be 'media bug'. CM9 and SlimICS don't have it.
Those cached items can be a pain. I had mine after deleting images and leaving thumbnails.
Cleared the data from media storage, and rebooted my phone, duplicate folders were gone but so were all my playlists... restored them with mybackup pro and rebooted only to find it not only restored the playlists but the duplicate folders were back... going to try it again this time without restoring the playlists and see if the dups stay gone... will update.

You can't have it both ways, you know!
I'm having issues with quickpic and was wondering if anyone else had the problem or have a solution. The other day I spent a ton of time "excluding" all the files and folders oF my dropbox and other random files. I open up quickpic and bam! They are all showing again. I haven't flashed a new rom or done anything of the sorts. I just don't understand why it keeps doing it to me and its getting annoying :/ help anyone?
Sent from my Apple pwner using xda premium
Did you try to uninstall and install Quickpic back? I think that should help, however I`ve never had that problem.
Well it stayed the same after I deleted it so lets see in a few days if they stay excluded :/

In stead of excluding folders (sounds very time consuming), just set it to scan certain folders only. It'll be faster, and you do not run by this risk of something showing up by accident. If excluding and you just change a folder name or if a mount point changes, they will show again.
Mine's just watching camera folder, pics, downloads, and movies. Simple, fast, and I'm in control.
An other advice:
In those few "watched" folders, add folders with a .nomedia file inside. Then stick all the sensitive stuff in there. It'll be hidden in your gallery every time you open quickpic, but you can get them to show up with a few buttons press (settings, show hidden)
They will be hidden automatically next time you open quickpic.
Nice if you got sensitive shots of your missus that you wanna keep for your eyes only, or if you got lots of system png's for customising gui, but you don't want them to clutter your gallery..

Somethings gone wrong on my quickpic and the way it handles dropbox photos.
I used to just have one dropbox folder showing, camera uploads, than last week or started showing loads of other folders from dropbox which I didn't want.
I deleted the cache on both apps and now it won't display anything at all from my dropbox account.
Does anyone know how to get quickpic to show dropbox files again?
I keep coming up with little issues...kind of unimportant but still important. I don't know exactly what I changed in my phone to alter this because I've gone throuh so many ROMs,kernels, radios, and modems the past couple weeks but I used to have an option between streaming a video online or downloading it to my SD card. Now I've noticed it only allows me to stream videos online. Anyone know how I can get back to being able to download to my SD card again??
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
OK so I'm trying to change the permissions of /sdcard1 because no boxes are not checked so I'm thinking if I check off at least the "write" box my phone should/could download to the external card and not just stream. A box pops up saying that "some file systems do not allow permission changes." Dont know if this has to do with the rom, kernel, modem...no idea.Feel free to chime in with your opinion or advice. I've searched and found no help. Thanks in advance.

OK, I think I'm at the end of my available resources so I must ask the community. Recently, I've noticed that I can't navigate to any of my music files using Astro, File Explorer, or Root Browser even. I know the files are there, they can be easily seen while plugged in via USB. I've done all of the .nomedia removal and made sure hidden files are shown in the file managers. It's driving me crazy I was trying to share a song last night and couldn't even find it using bluetooth share.
I've cleared data on the media storage app and wiped dalvik. What am I missing here? Again, songs show and play just find in my music player (rocket), they just don't appear in they folder(s) that I know they are in.
Thanks for any help on this.

Hi there! First of all stop using Rocket Player! I used to have a lot of issues with it! Try winamp or google music or buy PlayerPro which is the best player! Also Install Total Commander from play store instead Astro, File Explorer and the rest. If this doesn't help backup your phone apps and all other stuff on google account and do a factory reset. I had the same issue as you have and Factory Reset solved the problem!
Good luck
Will try your recommendations and report back. Thanks

Factory reset will help, had the same issue.
OK, here's what I found. Total commander found the files immediately. I think because the razr has internal storage, the other file managers were defaulting to the internal storage and calling it SD storage. All of my music is on my SD card in a folder with the same name. So I guess this falls under operator error, but total commander easily differentiated between the two locations where the others did not seem to.
Thanks again for the help.
