I have been using it for a while now and the only problem that i face is that the Play Music app does not recognize music from the phone. It keeps saying Ways to add music connect usb and transfer music to phone.

I have transferred all the music in the Music folder in SDcard. I have made 3 folders in Music folder and those folders contain the music.
Previously when i was on ICS i didnt face this problem, but after JB i am having it. I installed PlayerPro and it also does not show any music, and even i cannot put the music folder in it.
Another problem is that now i have two sd card directories, on in direct phone with name sd card and other in storage then sdcard0
Is this a problem? what shall i do about it?
Ive got exactly the same problem
I tried flashing the new bootloader like someone suggested
I tried a super clean install
I tried the factory image directly from google.
But i still got this problem......
I got it solved! I am gonna share it with you too
There was a .nomedia file, I deleted it first. Then I removed the Music folder and then cleared the data of media storage from apps settings,
then rebooted the phone and a new Music folder created. I put all my songs in it and then open the Music player and all files appeared in stock as well as PowerPro
I had the same issue, had both SDcard and SDcard0, music showed on both in file explorer but not detected in play music. I deleted USB storage in Settings>storage, remounted USB storage, rebooted, made new music folder in SDCard and copied music from PC, all working
I have 50gigs of crap on my SD card. it would LITERALLY take the entire stinking day to move everything off the card format it and move everything back again (freaking MTP crap)
is there a better solution? for now I just moved the music folder into the download folder (the only folder player pro can see for some reason)
Found a solution that did not require whacking everything
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.humanrobot.scanmedia
install and run that. now the "Music" folder is visible in player pro again (MAN I HATE database driven access wish it would just see the stinking folders and use those)

Known issue that may or may not be fixed with the next TnT update. You can try to make it better by putting a empty file named .nomedia into the folder where your stuff that vanishes is located. I haven't tried it but it may help. I don't remember if your music player will be able to see the files anymore though. May have to look in a file explorer to see them.

There are lots of issues with TnT 4.0.. Roebeet recently pulled it because of them. Your issue could be from the dataloop thing in TnT 4 or something else. I would recommend clearing data, and flashing back to TnT 3.1

See Bottom of attached image
I believe 4 was based off of this unofficial update
Hi All,
I am struggling to access my transformer files using my PC.
I have used the SDK tools and can get the device ID, so i know that bit works
USB Debugging is on
USB cable is new
I am using ICS Nightlies v24, the latest Gapps and TestyMeh v1.0 kernal
i can access the files in androids file explorer
my issue is odd, i connect my transformer to my pc and i hear the connection tone, it then shows up in my windows explorer (see picture 1). I click on it and it opens (Picture 2). then when i click on any of the files it goes to a blank window, and at the bottom it says "0 files" (Picture 3). if i try to drop a file it says it is going to root of storage and nothing happens (picture 4)
any idea why i cant see them?

I have same issue (but not that severe). I nailed it down to the .nomedia flags. Recently, the TF is connected to the PC as a media-device, so I think that .nomedia flag will play its role.
If you have the flag in the root --> whole drive is hidden.
If you have the flag in the root of a folder --> whole folder may appears empty. I just remove the flags to see the contents. But then the multimedia apps make pick up all the junks and add them to their library.
Currently I switch to a wireless connection (using some apps like Samba) to get around.

Samba seems to allow me to access the internal and external SD card, but it isn't the .nomedia issue. I guess this will work for now, but i would still like to get it sorted..........
thanks anyway, anyone else got an ideas?

Hi Guys, is there a way to force Google Play Music or any other music player for that matter to read and list the music files from a flash drive connected to the OTG interface? I would like a way to list the music from the portable drive in the library of the music player.
Anything? Nobody plays music through OTG?
A file manager perhaps like ES or RE? And guess the quality LOL

ill throw some music on my sd card with a meenova otg card reader and see what power amp does with it
will report back
Update: power amp doesn't have a problem with reading it. Though do note that I'm using a kernel that supports auto mounting it (chaos kernel on latest omni build) instead of an app like stick mount

A file manager is not exactly I'm looking for. I use stick mount to mount the flash drive and can access the contents through any of the File managers as you said. But what I'm looking for, is a music player that scans the flash drive like any other folder for possible music files and includes them in the library on the go.

Will be really helpful if you could check. I'll happily buy the player on the store if you can confirm this.
EDIT: Wow, thanx! That should do it. I'm on ElementalX and use Stick Mount, so that shouldn't be a problem. But its really annoying that most players including the GoogleMusic Player do not support this functionality. Anyways, thanx for your quick reply and help! :good:
Time to buy poweramp I guess!

edited my original post with screenshots with my findings
Hi
My phone keeps saying its full. Its not. Going through my installed apps it just doesn't amount to around 12GB.
Checking the properties of the Android folder including data and obb only amounts to 5GB.
It seems the phone thinks files in Pocket Casts on the SD and other SD based files like Here Maps data reside on the internal when they dont!
Anyone clarify this or figure out a fix?
Update: deleting app data of Pocket Casts and Here Maps didn't change anything..
There's still something not right as I went through and checked folder sizes of everything on internal and give or tale a MB here and there, there's nothing else other than the 5.1GB of data. Where is the other 5GB??
Do you happen to have Google Play Music downloaded locally and saved to SD?
Indeed I do...

Clear that cache and stored music. Use Google MusicManager for PC to download your music, that way you will not reach your 2 download limit, as it does not count against that limit according to Google when using the manager.
That way you can copy that music to your SD card and it will be in MP3 format.
No, that's not the issue. It only had 40MB of data. I'm literally stumped as to where this hidden few gigs are!
Highlighting all files including hidden on Windows or with File Commander on the phone only shows 3.9GB, but the phone thinks 9GB is used!
One of my work mates had something similar, was told to factory reset and start again and it did actually fix the problem
Did you try the clear cache option in storage settings? It clears for all apps.
Yes. Cleared everything. No joy. Factory reset in the end and that sorted it as its now back as it was with 7GB free. Assume it may have been some oddity from flashing UK generic over O2 rom? Only thing I can think it was.
Ah I didn't see you replied to this. Anyway, I noticed that Google play music does a funny thing where if you have saved music (not cached music) stored on the external SD, the space counts against your internal SD as well. Again, this is not cached music, but music that you've indicated you want saved to device.
So I'm getting a really frustrating issue happening with my phone wherein any .mp3 files stored on my external SD card are removed from their playlists whenever I restart my phone. Any music stored on the internal phone storage still remains in the playlists but everything else gets cleared out of them. I've taken a look into the Media Store's SQL logs and found this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Basically, I cleared the Media Store's data to reset the Android media database, then I rebooted. On the first reboot, all my playlists displayed perfectly (external SD music AND internal SD music). This produced the 3 log lines above the highlighted line in the image. Then I restarted my phone again and once again all the music on the external SD card was erased from my playlists. Restarting gave the log lines below and including the highlighted line. What seems to be happening is Android is removing any reference to files stored on my external SD from the Media Store database at reboot, then it rescans when the phone starts, but it generates the playlists BEFORE it scans the external SD for media, so it just thinks there's loads of missing media in the playlists and removes any reference to external SD music. Then it scans the external SD for music and finds all my media there.
So in the end I can still access all the music stored on my external SD and my phone sees it just fine, it's just that it's never maintained in any playlists. If anyone has any method of fixing this or any advice at all, I'd really appreciate it! I don't have enough room on my internal SD to store all my music.
Thanks!
(I'm on a Google Play Edition Galaxy S4 running Android 5.1)
EDIT:
After more experimentation, I've made a breakthrough. Ultimately, this all happens cause Android's Media Scanner will scan the internal SD for media at startup. When it finds Playlist files it attempts to import them into the system database but because the SD card takes a while to mount at startup and is temporarily unreadable for a while at boottime, when it tries to follow the path back to the music on the SD card it can't find the music since the SD card is still mounting. Instead of, yknow, doing anything logical like waiting for the SD to mount, it just erases the entries from the playlist. So to get around this stupid flaw in the system, you need to move all your playlists (.m3u/.pla/etc files) from the internal SD to the external SD card.
By moving the playlist files to the SD card, it ensures that they only ever get read once the SD card has finished mounting and the Media Scanner then attempts to scan the external SD for media. At this point it finds the playlists and follows their mp3 file paths back to the finally loaded Music folder on the external SD.
I had that happen to me
