Hello everyone
I bought a note 10.1 2 days back and am loving it except for a very weird problem ...
I downloaded two music files and they show up perfectly then I inserted my phone's sd card and transferred all my music to the internal memory.
Then the weird thing happened ... I rebooted it but none of the files show up in any music app except for Rocket Player ... I tried Many music players but none could find my music... it can be seen by the the manager and individual files can be played... but they dont appear in the music apps...
Ive tried apps like rescan media to force run the media scanner but no luck...
Please help as its driving me mad

What format you using?
Most are .mp3 files... 128 Kbps . Some may be different but as none are being detected I don't think it's the file type problem ...

All shows for me also I'm not rooted
No problem with mp3's.... Dumped on either internal or external storage with no problems.
If someone has put a .nomedia file in the folder with these files then they won't be read. Only thing I can think of as to why they're not being found....
I have all of them in internal memory in a Music folder and checked using the stock file manager es file explorer and also astro file manager to ensure no .nomedia files are present but it still wont work...

Had the same problem a week ago,
I went to application manager in settings,
And cleared the data and cache of media storage, then rebooted.
That seemed to fix the issue

music players cannot access storage
I am having the identical issue, but clearing data/cache of media storage hasn't helped.
I have also put a memory card and moved the music to that, but has the same issue. I have tried the built-in music player and PlayerPro, both are the same. Both players have the option to navigate by folders, but folders are shown. Its as though the music players are unable to access the internal and external storage.
My device is not rooted, updated to latest software available 4.1.2

You could try using Rocket Player? That was the only app that worked when I had this issue...
Thanks, I've downloaded rocket player and is seems to work.
However I first noticed the issue after having a similar issue with a video fx app, as was unable to add music tracks, due to none of the storage folders being available to the app. So was hoping to find a fix.

As per the title, files on my sd card are not showing up in media apps such as music and gallery, though they are still present in the sd card.
Not a rom problem as i just wiped and flashed rom again. And .nomedia is not present on my sd card.
Any ideas?
What's happening when you select these files manually with a file explorer and choose to open with music player (or gallery)?
Maybe the player does recognize them if you do so

Happened to me the other day... Fixed by going to applications - manage applications- media storage. if you clear data and reboot the phone it should re build the media library!

it could be an ics related problem. But I tested both CM9 and Quattro in the last days and had no problems with my media files..
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Alright so for some reason my internal card loads, but apps like my music player and photo gallery don't see files. But when I go into my file manager, everything shows. I'm running on CM9 nightlies 8/08 to be exact. I deleted the apps that I updated today and manually cleared out the caches, and the problem still persists. I don't get why everything shows on the file manager. I JUST WANT MY MUSIC PLEASE HELP ME

Same here, exact problem. Just started today, I got it back but out of nowhere, poof, gone again.
I wonder if it has anything to do with them shutting off Flash support today?

I took a picture and added some music files from my tablet, and they all show up. But nothing that has been on there will show up. THIS IS SO WEIRD.
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda premium
It will be there until you restart then it will be gone again. This is not good. back up your files to your computer asap. I'm guessing our internal cards are about to give up.
Yeah I backed up my pictures already.

There has to be a bad file somewhere on the SD card. It keeps restarted the scan in Storage as I'm watching it every time it hits Misc.

I formatted my internal (by mistake) and its showing pictures I just transferred from my external to internal.
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda premium
so you see the text "scanning media card" or something like that when you first boot? All I see now is "Preparing Media Card". My stuff is back now after clearing data in "media storage" in the app manager and then running the Rescan Media ROOT.apk but I'm sure it will vanish again like last time.
Just try formatting internal if it happens again. It sucked moving all my music back over but nothing has disappeared

I just read on Rootz that it was a ROM Manager mess up and it's been corrected...
"ROM Manager had an update that messed up a .nomedia file which has now been updated again to fix that. Perhaps that is the cause of your gallery issues?"
"Thanks! That was it. I actually had to remove updates to that app, and reinstall the latest to fix it. Great call."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30320286&postcount=2
This fixed it for me. I manually deleted the .nomedia file with a root explorer program, make sure hidden files are viewable if you do this.
Additionally, I had to clear data in Media Storage under settings -> application -> All
Reboot to Recovery and wipe cache partition then reboot phone and everything should be back.
Make sure you update to the latest version of Rom Manager prior to all this.
I'm running SkyICS by Seanzscreams and just ran into the nomedia problem today, so its not an isolated issue CM10
Ok, just today my pictures + videos stopped showing up in MX Player or Gallery. My music shows up after an extensive scan from Poweramp (87 seconds when it normally only takes 10-20 seconds) I can also access storage via a file browsing app with no problems. I've already tried fixing permissions to no avail. Any idea what could be happening? Help?

I deleted the .nomedia file but google music still doesn't see the 5gb of music on my phone when i check the box that says on device only. It gives the me message saying to see my full library to uncheck on device only. I'm running the 8/2 build of JB with the built in kernel on my NS4G.

Did you guys update rom manager? If you're stock, I don't believe there's anything you can do (nothing I've heard of anyway) If you're running a custom ROM, try reflashing the ROM and gapps and they should show up. (Read in another thread that it worked) Rom manager really screwed us over.

this happen to me and i solve it.
del ".nomedia" at the root path of sdcard, and then reboot. the media service will scan you sdcard, after a few minute you will find you media files again.

What I did:
Update Rom Manager -- delete any .nomedia files from your sd card -- clear cache/data on gallery/music/etc -- clear data on media storage --wipe cache/dalvik -- reboot Flashing won't get rid of the .nomedia files on SD
Maybe some unnecessary steps but worked
Found another instance of the .nomedia file. Found it by going in the Android folder then into the Data folder. Deleted it, cleared cash in gallery and music, rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik then rebooted phone. It now sees my music with the on device only box checked.
In my music and gallery app, they both say no media found. I have already searched the rescan apps on the playstore, and tried them all but none of them fix the problem. So what do i do here?
Hi,
Greetings
Open your sdcard from pc/phone explorer and search if their is a file called ".nomedia" in music and galary folder if yes then delet that file and restart your phone. music and galary will be back
If not try to backup your sdcard and format it from phone and try again

Well i did a search through the whole sdcard and it found nothing with name of ".nomedia".
Hi

If you searched from phone explorer you will have enable hidden files to search for".nomedia"

Hey, I had the same problem a week ago. What I did was download an app from the appstore called SDRescan. It's the perfect app for this kind of problem to be honest.

Try to reboot your device
Try to reboot your device and see what happens. I encounter the same problem and decided to reboot. Doing that solves my problem. :angel:
No matter what i do nothing fixes this ****ty problem. So i just formatted everything including sdcard and reinstalled rom.
I have a similar problem, the photos that I upload to outlook, facebook.... now appears duplicated in gallery, when physically not.
I've tried clean /cache, dalvik cache, re-mount sdcard, reboot phone.. but these methods has no effect
I'll try to make a backup of dcim photos in another folder, reboot, then put again the photos.
PD: also I tried to delete the famous .nomedia file, but I don't founded it!

Also: try to copy just one file to the internal SD-card, search it up in the gallery, and then move it back to the external SD. Sometimes this triggers the system to read the files.
If you have tried everything mentioned here, and nothing works: make backup of the SD card and format it. Then move everything back. This should work, but it's the most time consuming so try the other things first
Hope I helped, and have a nice day
