Hi all.
All my music players seem to be unable to play the songs that I moved from internal storage to external SD card. When I try to play. Play music says "couldn't play the track you requested"
But when I use total commander. The song is there. And when I play from total commander. All the music players were able to play.
I have tried reinstalled the apps but doesn't seem to help. My guess is the music players stored the previous songs' location, and are unable to find them now since I relocated them. (I tried to refresh on the music players list doesn't seem to help either)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks you

Try to clear the app data/cache. Or remove you sd card and put it back in.
Sounds like all you need is to make the music player do a media scan so it recognizes the files from their new location instead of searching for them in their old location...
I've dealt with that before, usually the methods I mentioned above solved the issue right away. Good luck.

Clear the cache. Works like a charm. Thank you!

I am using the AOPK rom along with the latest Harsh kernel. I have music on both internal/external SD cards and at first, things were playing fine.
Recently, some files won't play from the music library. I get the error stating that file cannot be played. But if I go to ES manager, I can play the files individually just fine.
Started out with a few albums, then more became faulty. I even moved from SD to SD and uninstalled/installed Play Music but nothing is helping.

I had been using an ipod to listen to music prior to getting my charge. When i got the charge i coppied music files(mp3) to the data card. Since then i have never been able to get any music player to identify songs correctly with regards to genre.
I've used programs like itag to modify song properties. Also tried modifying properties via windows mass storage. I even tried clearing data from players.
What else can i do?

have you tried Google Play Music or Winamp?
Yup. I've tried both and given up all hope that it'll ever work.

I think a lot of it depends on the info settings for each song. you'll have to edit each song's info. I have read/heard of websites that will clean all of that up for you, but really did not venture too far into that.

I have been trying to get some music on my one s with liquid smooth. I originally put an album on my phone in flac. I loaded it at /sdcard/music/[artist]/[album]/[track#]-[song].flac. I've been trying three different apps, play music, stock music app, and winamp. The files would not show up in any of the apps but I did noticed if I browsed to the files with root explorer and "open with" winamp that they would play within that app but the app showed no recognition of the file other than being able to play and pause it.
Next I decided to convert some albums to ogg and put them on my phone. Still have the same issue as with flac, but notice that all three apps would play them if I opened it through root explorer.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here? Obviously there is support for the file types as I could get them to play, but why will they not show up within the apps?
Btw, my initial goal was to get music to play in zombies, run! Which uses an external music app to play music from what I understand.

You have to clear then data on your media storage which can be found in apps. Open settings/app and find media storage.. It will have an android icon.
Clear the data and cache and reset your phone. This should work. Let me know if it doesn't

do what the guy above said
and check your sd card for ".nomedia" file in your music folders
Took a while before I had a change to try your suggestion, but it worked, thank you! Downloaded "rescan media" and rebooted and now I see the files

I have synced all the music from my itunes to my sd card successfully including the playlists. I use "easy phone sync" available in play store. Give it a try.
Though I have not tried playing music by simply copy pasting into my sd card.
Cheers!!

Try downloading another music player on google play and see if it does detect.
I use MXPlayer, although it is primarily used for playing videos, they added the audio function as well. You can give it a go. Go to settings and check "Use as an audio player", then go back to the list and refresh. All your songs should show up.

Hi just got my new Nexus 5!!eek! It's amazing and when I tried to put all my music on to it, I opened Google play music, all the music was there but when I click on any song, it says music playback error cannot play track. This is really annoying. I have tried a reboot as I did some research (others are having this issue) and also I've tried settings, apps, media storage, clear data, which also has fixed most people's. I use mp3s from my own laptop and don't download them from Google play by the way. Help much appreciated!! Thanks!
