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!

its good if it always like this:
and i want (if its possible) program put automaticaly good image in music i have, without image.
thanks in advance
Dont know about doing it automatically but if you download the cover art off the internet and then rename and/or edit it to "folder.jpg", then place this image in the album's folder then the sense music player will use it as the cover art for all tracks in that album folder.
there is an update album art in the menu when looking at the music player. tends to work best when connected to wi-fi. has worked for all my albums.
Mike
my problem its i have lot of music alone, its not from album, its just one music from singer, and already try update in menu , even with wi-fi and dont work good!
it does give you the option to update song now playing - have you tried that?

U can do it on pc or instal this app on hd2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687830&highlight=Mp3+tag+editor
Use Media Monkey 3 or Tidy Songs. There not free, but they have a trial for both products. I used Media Monkey cuz its cheap, $15 for Gold. You load your file of MP3, to the right click search Web for Info.. sure enough it finds all the albums to that artist. select right one if the label mp3 was unclear. now it fills in all the details and replaces mistyped. Sometime you even get a choice what quality art work you want to attach inside the tag. I had completed 1,500 songs. It cleaned up my album so an artist wasn't misspelled and in 4 separate folders in my sense player.
I use Mp3 tag, you can set all the album art and embedd it into the mp3 file, you can do albums at a time, but it does take a while. Once youve done it though, you will never have the problem again
MP3 tag its good option, but give little work to do. but already start!
thanks ★
aoakes With Media Monkey 3 and Tidy Songs update the music i have, or just its possible download from there with good info?
tidy songs i already try one time, but in few songs put wrong image and info.
thanks for help too!
negawolf mp3 tag editor surch automatically info and images for music?

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

Try wiping its data through the application settings and retry.
Maybe a silly question but is this worth installing outside the US? That is, is the player worth installing as a standalone bearing in mind I couldn't use the Google Music service?

Under Settings, have you selected a Google account to bind to Music?
The ugliest music player ever.
It's cool to try out, nothing compelling about it. No Equalizer, but playlist functions are nice. I'm sure it'll get better when it officially comes out.
Thanks for the info! But not working on my Phone!
Hm, i don't like this Player.
Meh. Still ugly. The original froyo aosp player was better and simpler. HTC Music player is also better.
what theme is that?
Thanx
Thanx my friend!!!! Works fine on my Sensation!!!
oh.. why can't used beats audio.........
Hmm weird. Phone says cannot open file. I downloaded via QR code over wifi, so I'm kinda boggled.
Ok after installing Music from my phone, I can install this. However, I get this message:
What is that "SJ" there for?

Yeah it consume a lot of data but if you r unlimited it doesnt matter. There is also option that you can save some song on your sd card and listen them offline.

Has this been updated so thdt offline music is stores on sd instead of internal? Its been my biggest complaint since it first came out and i stopped using it.
Sent from my R800a using XDA
The older version (just "Google Music" app) has been able to store to the SD card for offline storage for quite some time.
Thanks for this.

Is anyone having issues with the screen rotation after installing this amazing app?

Ok, so where should I extract these files?

You can you only require HotShiled to fake your location in the US and upload a song then uninstall hotshield done but you cant buy from the store .
Thank you so very much for this!
Any official changelog anywhere? I'm coming from 4.1.512 and don't notice any huge changes.
Using Google Music on my Zenithink C71 7" Chinese tablet produces a lot of "Process has stopped" messages, although music keeps playing no problem with this latest version. On my DesireZ no probs what so ever.
I can concur: Europe (home of truly unlimited data plans) thanks you!
nice an smooth on both my devices (as a simple music player)...gratitude
I have the stock Jelly Bean JRO03E which i got from here

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)
