[Q] MTP cannot see music (flac, mp3 etc in folder Music) - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I stored some music files (flac and mp3) in folder /sdcard/Music on my nexus 5, but I cannot see these files while connected to PC with MTP. I can see Ringtones, Download (with apk) etc on my PC but empty in the Music folder with music flac and mp3 files.
I tried to connect nexus 5 to fedora 17/20 and Windows 8, and failed in all connections.
In fedora 17 I installed gMTP and simple-mtpfs to access those files on my nexus 5 and I saw no files in Music folder except two ogg files in the Ringtones folder, apk files in Download, and pictures in DCIM.
I check the manual of gMTP and it said it supported flac format.
When in Windows 8 and fedora 20, the situations were the same as that in fedora 17.
So how can I access my file with MTP using USB cable?
because WiFi is forbidden here for some reason, I can not use WiFi to transfer files from nexus 5 to PC.
and because of the data plan, I cannot use dropbox to sync so many files with mobile data connection.
Thanks!

anybody knows?

This may sound very stupid but have you rebooted your phone. I have this same issue with the nexus 4.
A phone reboot forces a rescan and usually my computer picks the files up afterwards

Why can't I see all my files/folders ???

When I connect my phone to my laptop I can't see all files an folders ?? I search the phone on my laptop and can't see everything. I downloaded a movie Step brothers and I transferred it over to my phone and I cannot find the file. Then I put the file in a folder I can see through the phone and laptop. Still I can't see the file in that folder. Same with music. I downloaded music on my laptop. .mp3 format and I wanted to transfer it to my music folder, but when I search the phone through the laptop there is no music folder, but the music folder shows up when I search on my phone. Any suggestions ?

[Q] Music transfer + converting?

Does anyone know of an app that will transfer music files wirelessly, from computer to phone, while at the same time converting it to a different format?
My dream is to scroll through my desktop's music directory on my phone and select music to copy to my phone. I'd like it to then convert the music files from .flac to .mp3 on my desktop and then transfer them to my phone. I would then be able to use any android music player to play the selected files.
Subsonic does this to a certain degree but the files that transfer over don't seem to like to be played in other music players.
TL: DR looking for an app that will transfer music files wirelessly, from computer to phone, while at the same time converting the files to .mp3

[Q] Buy Music on WP7, have on PC later?

Hello,
I have bought Music from Zune before, but I did so using the Zune Software on the PC. There you get an MP3 file and you can of course do what you want with it including syncing it to a WP7.
I am also aware that you cannot redownload DRM free MP3s so you have to keep your copy safe.
How does this work when you buy Music directly on the phone?
Is there any way to get the files on your PC later so that you can play them on the PC? Does the Zune software allow you to copy music from your phone to your PC?
If so, does this affect the quality? I belive that Zune offer 320kbps files, will those files be downloaded to my phone?
You can simply plugin your device into your PC and sync the music you downloaded with it with Zune. Dunno if it happens automatically, but you can simply right click the file and then choose "copy to my collection". I have two files here that I downloaded directly with the device and then synched it to my PC. Both have a 256kBit bitrate.
U can also use WiFi sync by enabling it in the options in Zune.
Unfortunately, Zune suffers from the same memory leak that plagued WMP, my advice is make CD copies of your music. A plus is when I download from Zune, a copy automatically goes to Windows Media Player on the PC.

Thanks it worked as expected and there was no quality change (320kbps on PC).

[Q] music files changing from .mp3 to .3ga when downloading from my computer

Was just wondering if anybody else has had any problems with transferring music files from their pc to their note 10.1 via local network. I have transferred a few albums and they seem to be changing to Samsung's .3ga file format even though they were originally .mp3 or .aac in windows media.
Thanks

Transferring downloaded Music from iTunes to Android

Hi, I have been a lifelong Apple user and recently decided to switch to Android as I pre-ordered the new Samsung Galaxy S10. I am wondering how I can transfer my iTunes Library to Android and have looked on the internet on how to do this.
However, most tutorials only show how you can transfer music which you bought in iTunes to Google Play Music. What I like to know is how I can transfer my music in iTunes (which I downloaded from Youtube in mp3 formats and then manually uploaded to iTunes) to an Android music app such as Musicolet. I like to have the same playlists as in my iTunes, and I have all the music files on my computer. Doing this manually would take ages as I have almost 4000 songs. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

The simplest way is just to copy .mp3 files and playlists directly into /mnt/sdcard/Music and any Android music player should be able to read these files
AirMore
Just look for the directy files of your downloaded music then use this app called AirMore to wirelessly transfer them on your Phone. Using this tool will allow you to selectively choose the files you wish to transfer from PC to your phone and vice versa.
You have all the mp3 files. You can literally connect the S10 to your computer, navigate to the file directory (like how you put a USB in a computer and see all the files), make a folder called music, and drag all the mp3 files to the folder. This is how i've always done it. Every samsung galaxy device has a preinstalled samsung music application, where it allows you to play music. It will automatically pick up all the mp3 files and you will be able to listen to it.
