Music not showing up - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All my downloaded music used to work just fine but now some files are not showing up at all. I downloaded a few new albums and they don't show up on any media player. The files are still there and they work fine if I play them through a file browser but not with any media player. Has anyone else had this problem?

I think I figured out the problem. For some reason the album's that weren't showing up had a .nomedia file in them. I have no idea how that happens.

Has anyone had issues w their music player on gingerbread? I HAVE

Hey guys,
After updating to gingerbread, lots of my songs wont play. They're mp3's that worked just fine before. I also have my music organized by album and now instead of one album w all of the songs, the albums show up 4 or 5 times with a few songs separated in each folder. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
Thank you guys!

Weird, I had an issue where the id3 tags were showing unknown artist but they could play
Interesting, I don't have that issue, they're all labeled correctly but they're totally rearranged in tons of different folders. It really sucks :'(

[Q] Video player requesting WiFi

Aftering rooting with Stock, my video player is requesting that I open WiFi in order to play a movie from my sd card.
Has anyone else had this issue and what was done to correct it?
Thank you in advance
Sounds like you are using the connected media app on your phone instead of the gallery or watch (it maybe videos, im running bamf gingerbread). I just tested mine, and when using the connected media app and selecting videos, I get a prompt asking me to connect to wifi.

Do you mean a connected media like VLC?
No, I believe all sense roms have an app called connected media. Try looking for it in your app drawer.

Roger...Got it. I down loaded MoboPlayer app and now I am using it
excursively as media play (movie player). Do you have any other suggestions for media player apps?
Thank you again!
I use v player. Simple to use and has all the standard screen ratios. Rockplayer lite irritated me with the damn pop up everytime I tried to use it.
Ok, I will play around with V player again. Thank you very much!

Music - genre

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.

local music files not showing up

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

Try the APP "rescan SD" or sth like this.

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

Poweramp problem

So I like to use Poweramp but the problem is that it also plays my videos and memos that I recorded on my phone. Is there a way to disable this?
Thanks!

Use the poweramp scanner to exclude locations where you don't have music files
