So correct me if Im wrong you go to your music app and you dont see your tracks?
What music player do you use? I use playerpro myself and it is pretty leet. There are options to re scan for media (for adding stuff MTP) and manual scans for media. What media players do this to you? Also, if I am correct you are the one that has SD card issues with some JB roms right? What file system are you using for the SD card? Are you using MTP or Mass storage mode for USB transfers? Have you tried a new SD card? What is your main file format not showing up on your playlist, mp3 or m4b/a, etc. Is there a specific reason you need to do the sd swap like a game or certain app?
I know its a lot of questions but I'm trying to narrow it down a bit. I think it might be your SD card. Can you grab an old one somewhere, reformat it inside android, then do the SD swap and see if your music works then? Might be best to do a clean flash while you are at it. You could also try and download playerpro or the vlc beta and see if it sees it. I personally don't even install the stock music player anymore.
If you need to fix permissions you can do it under CWM/advanced. Let me know how it works out for you, I know how it feels to have that one little itch keeping you from enjoying the hell outta this phone.

well to answer your questions as they were asked 1 Apollo / 2 Paranoid Android ( newest version ) EXT4 / /3 Both ( MTP and MASS ) / 4 this SD card is practically brand new ive reformatted it one time under the windows reformat back into EXT4 with DEFAULT settings and allocation / 5 MP3 and M4A not showing for codec's of music / 6 games and apps and music i love this phone gonna prolly pick up a galaxy S2 / S3 ( the S3 has quad core S4 chip i believe so much much faster ) ive fixed permissions ive re installed busybox to 1.20.2 have done clean flash and re install have downloaded playerpro ( the 4.1.2 had worked flawlessly on the way down to CA from KS on the greyhound so it was working great then and now it's not wanting to c anything for music specifically ) ( i had reformatted and installed 4.1.2 PA about 2 days ago and before the swap it had seen my EXTERNAL MICRO SDHC as EXTERNAL ( NO SWAPPING at the point of reinstall ) but i had swapped it and then nothing so that's were im stuck
I hate Apollo personally. I listen to a lot of audio books and its hard to find a player that never forgets where you pause. It doesnt sound like its your player though... I think it might be your sdcard. I know it works on other roms, but can you try your old card or a different one? Mine cut out like that a few times before I lost everything but only a few times. Also, try to go to CM file explorer and open a folder while the music player is open to see if that jump starts it.
I wasn't aware there was a PA 4.2.1
None the less, put your sdcard in your computer and copy everything off of it
Put sdcard back in phone and got to settings/storage/erase sdcard
reboot phone
plug phone into computer and mount usb storage
copy all your stuff back to the sdcard
reboot to recovery
delete cache and dalvik
fix perms
reboot
open apollo
enjoy your tunes
I get a fc sometimes when switching tracks. I quit using Apollo and use googles app.when in the app you should see your music. As thomas is telling you, I would try what he said, because I've always been able to see my music.

Just format "Fat" not 16 or 32 or NTFS or [email protected] or 4 (format it with windows
You know I have to ask... what format is your music? I remember that you couldn't see your music on 4.1.2 but could on stock and tweaked. Is it because your files are WMA? ...I just came to this realization that not only will JB ROMs not play WMA, they won't even show up in any music player. Just curious.

okay, so i've found myself in a bit of a pickle. Recently I've been running the CM7 nightly's, but today I tried out the RoyalGinger rom and I believe it either corrupted my SD card or it's blocking my SD card from being used/read.
Tried several times to reformat it but each time it said 'checking SD card', but the weird thing is I have an active wireless connection, but I'm not getting texts. I can download from market, get on Facebook, etc, but my texts won't come in until I reboot the phone. A few times I booted it up and it wouldn't allow me to even see my homescreen because it'd pop up with EVERY app force closing (including google services, framework, etc), I was able to get back to my homescreen by clearing by Dalvik Cache luckily, however I'm still unable to do most anything. I went in to wipe/restore but it says cannot find SD card, directory invalid, cannot mount, etc.
Is there a way to reformat my SD card through terminal? If so could I get the code procedure for it? or anyone have any ideas other than picking up a new micro (which isn't a big deal but I'm strapped on money til Friday) but i'd still prefer to know that it's JUST my SD card and not my phone memory. Anyone? Anyone? Beuler? Beuler? Thanks in advance. I'm really sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but c'mon, everyone gets one.
Ok so do u have a stock backup rom? Ide say go to rom manager and go to recovery and whipe etc.. Then install that stock back on it.....And can ur sd card even read at all? Just get any.file manager and check your sd.

I think I have a backup rom of CM6, but not an actual android stock rom. It won't allow me because it says 'must have an SD card inserted' then it says must have clockwork mod recovery installed, which I do, the current version. Now that it says that I'm afraid to boot my phone into recovery, and I can't really tell if my SD card will read. I was able to use my file manager and the entire SD folder is blank.
ten minutes later: still boots into recovery, none of my backups are available on it. I was thinking about downloading a rom from the phone and trying that way, but I don't know if it'd save to the (apparently unreadable) SD card.
Ok try this...... Find out what recovery you use 3.0.0.5 or the normal 2.5.1.4 for froyo then download a rom thats the same recovery as the one u have on it right now...... If its the same as your cyanogenmod 6 then install that from the recovery manually!!!
if its not then download a rom that is and make sure you use a file manager to see if the download sticks in your sdcard. And if it doesnt stick then......your problem sir might be a corrupted sdcard, or a phone that cant read your sd.
Hope its not either or, so give it a shot.....
And ur supposed to have a stock backup as soon as you root and switch roms man Lol makes life easier

It sounds like he doesn't have access to his sdcard. It doesn't matter how many backups you make if that's the case...
If you happen to have a sdcard reader or a microsd usb adapter you could format it in windows, copy the files you need, and start again. Also did you try connecting to your pc and seeing if it's readable that way? You can format the card if your pc recognizes it. If you have adb set up you can push the recovery image to the phone without a sdcard. But once again without a working sdcard you won't be able to flash a new rom.
Hey guys I'm pretty sure it's just my SD card. I tried saving an image, just to test it and it says 'an SD card is required to download images.bin', so I'm HOPING it's just my SD Card, however my notifications are working properly so I can at least deal with it til friday, if it IS my SD card reader in the phone, well... I have a plan for that, however due to already technically breaking that I shouldn't go into it. Thanks to you guys for taking the time to post and if you know anything else that might help me I'd gladly accept it.

Hi, I have a reader on my laptop but not the adapter, so I can't tell and yes, you were right, I can't see any of my backups (which I have my stock, then cm6 and cm7) so I either need to find an adapter or get a new SD card. luckily I pulled all of my camera images off my phone last night when I put the new rom .zip on the phone sd, so I'm not really worried about 'losing' anything as long as I get my phone working back in proper condition.
Well that happened to me before as well.. All i did was replace sd cards lets the phone do its thing flash a different rom like CM6 or CM7 and then once replaced i got the adapter for my old sd card reformatted through windows and put it right back in and it worked.. So try that?
Ill have to. Thanks a lot guys I do appreciate any comments and suggestions and ill be picking up a new sd later thia week to fix it but can amyone recommend a good brand sd to pick up? the apparently failed one was a samsung 8gb

I usually use sandisk so yeah try that?
Something similar happened to me. Your SD card likely has a bad or corrupted file. I used Win7 to copy over what I could to a folder in my PC. The Win7 automatically refused to copy over the corrupted files while carrying over everything else. In XP, your file transfer stops and you have to try again to ensure you have everything that's not corrupted transferred over.
After copying, I just went ahead and formatted the SD to FAT32, transferred everything back, installed on my phone, and voila.
Go into recovery and partition the card. You'll lose everything on it but it should be useable after that

Hey guys, I have looked all over and cant find an answer...
I am running the most current (4/23) version of the cm9 rom, but i cant get my infuse to "recognize/or/find" my external 32gb sd card... it finds my internal 16 gb no problem, i have also swapped it out for my 16gb card and its still a no-go...
what do i have to do / change to get it to show up? im needing to get to my music because my daily drives of 14+ hours are getting a bit tedious...
if you could in full detail tell me where the file to edit is and what needs to be changed it would be awesome!
thanks in advance and if this has been posted i apologize i must have missed seeing it...
also running 4/23 built and it reads mine no problems,, bad flash?
I'm thinking its possably something to do with a lib file as both clicking on external SD and internal SD both go to the internal SD... using astro file manager I can see both fine... but not when I use a stock app... *shrug* I also can't afford to try and reinstall it as I'm no where near home for the next 5 days either and if I screw up I'm without a phone...

you can try flashing it over and see if that helps, this time use fix permission and it could also be a bad download, what i would do is re-download, go back to phone stock , and while you're there factory reset the phone( back up all your other data ) , flash kernels to get red cmw ( entropy DD ) and then flash latest cm9
I recently installed a 64gb. I had to go back to stock to get it recognized. Then when I reinstalled CM9, I found it under /mnt/emmc.

Go to the themes and apps forum - See Axiomkids mods and tweaks for this build. Go to number 5 in the OP. Although it says it won't recognize the external sd it does for my phone . I only have an 8 gb card, don't know if that makes a difference. Hope this helps. Edit- Here's the link. I used the1.1.4 version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375
Thanks... phone can find it now... but music and video apps still don't "see" it..
Is there a "string" (?) command i can use in the terminal console to change where its looking...
seems to be finding the "external SD" folder but not the actual card...
Seems very odd to me cause both when i flashed back, googles' stock apps found it, and as well as the cm 7.2.0 release found the external sd card in the right spot.
Now flashing cm 9.0 (05/02/12) it finds the external sd folder on the internal sd, but still doesn't find the external sd...

If the files are there, but you can't access them, it means that the partition isn't mounted. If you can't mount it, you'll need to go into CWM, format your sdcard partition, and sync your media back on to the phone.
Yes the files are there, i'm sure bcs the memory is used. But it doesnt show in gallery neither in my pc.
How to mount it btw ? Thanks for ur respond

well i used alllll the jell bean roms pretty much. and currently im using paranoid android. and my various music apps like the play music and th cm9/10 music app the gallery. nothing finds my sd card. could it be because its called sdcard1 and sd card1?? instead on internal or external.(the names when i use astro)
Connect the phone to your computer, make sure you have show hidden files, go to the folders with your stuff and delete .nomedia files.
so i did that and then i went into my gallerey and the two photos that were showing up is now gone
Now restart your device

Hey guys, there is a strange issue that I found out about just today.
My Co-Ed has a Sensation with official ICS update on it - no root, no hacked apps, nothing related to unofficial.
So the problem is that almost every pic she has on her device and every tracks is beign displayed twice in the gallery and the stock music player.
The file manager doesn't show two of the same files, so maybe it's a problem with SD card. The thing is - if she deletes one track - both of the displayed ones dissappear.
Whay could be the problem and how can it be solved? Should she change hee SD card, reinstall the ROM or try a factory reset? Hope you can help me (and her)

Thanks, we'll try that. Any other suggestions on how to fix this bug?
It only appeared recently, probably because the internal storage/SD card is almost full and there's no space left, or am I wrong?
/bump
When you format your SD card it will erase everything on it so you can restore from computer only what you want restored. So essentially you start with a new fresh card. Or if you want more space buy another SD with more space transfer what you saved on computer and do it that way. Best wishes. FYI Amazon has 64 class 10 on sale pretty cheap. I got one. It works perfectly! You have to format through recovery first to get device to recognise it. You do this by putting card in slot, pulling battery, put battery back in, press volume power at same time, boot into boot loader, press recovery, power for yes, then in recovery press format SD card. You have to get in recovery like this because UN formatted SD will prevent the usual way. Once formatted you're good to go. Device will then detect the card perfectly. It's been running perfectly in mine ever since. I got a great deal on the San disk. Take a look you will be surprised how cheap the 64 class 10 is. Also I tested the SD and yes it's truly the class 10.running exactly as it should. Hope this helps you out. Best wishes
