Hi,
I reset my phone because after 5.1.1 update my phone battery was poor so i reset my phone copied songs from my PC to nexus 5 when i open Google play music it is unable to detect those transferred songs. when i went to ES Explorer i can able to see all the songs i copied. what should i do? one more reset? is there any way to say google play music about songs presence?
P.S i already deleted cache, cleared data of that app no use
Play music only sees music files under /sdcard/Music, I believe

Did you reboot the device after pushing music files to /sdcard/Music?

yes rebooted many times,deleted cache, deleted app data,uninstalled its update,disable it,again enable it etc etc.I don't know why this is happening but when i create new folder in root folder and copy few songs over there Google play music is detecting those songs, and to be more surprise when i delete all my songs from Music folder and copied again its detecting songs now.

I have some music files I copied to the "Music" directory of my Note. The stock player won't find them. They are all MP3 files. I downloaded a trial of PowerAmp and that won't find them either. I have the card (a 64GB) formatted as FAT32. If I use root explorer I can find and play them manually. Is there a music app I can download that will open and list them normally or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
Silly question but did you put a .nomedia file into the directory these songs reside. If there is a .nomedia file then the music players won't see anything in there no matter what, neither will any other media app, video or pictures won't be found by their respective apps until you use a file explorer to oen them manually...
You may need to go to settings in your file manager and allow to see hidden files....

Thanks for your response!
Yes I saw when searching for a solution that some apps might install such a file but it's not there. I'm rooted and use Root Explorer and made sure that hidden files are viewable. Interesting also that RockPlayer does see and play the files. Any other suggestions? I did also use CWM recovery to clear the Davlik Cache, and also cleared data from media storage in app settings and rebooted without luck. Thanks.
Hi,
I recently updated my Sensation to newest ARHD (7.0) without wipe and my ringtones and music is gone. Also for many of apps if I open them, I'm getting FC, but in this case if I delete data for that app, the problem is gone, but I don't know what I should do in case of lost ringtones and music? When I'm trying to select ringtone all I got is empty list.
Pawel
Unzip the attachment and copy and paste it into system folder in the root of your phone. And try to set the ringtone again from setting. See what will happen.

There was other problem. The sound files were present, but system couldn't see them, but I've fixed this and other problems by fixing permissions via recovery.
But thanks anyway!

I just downloaded this app called Gaana. It's an Indian music app that allows you to download and listen to music. I want to play music downloaded from this app with other music apps (shuttle+). But I can't find the directory where it is saving all the songs. Can someone tell me where this app is saving all the music?
Songs caching on Gaana
When you download songs on Gaana app, they are stored on the device but are DRM protected so they are accessible only from Gaana application. You cannot take them out of Gaana app.

There is no way around this?
Do This.....
Gaana allow us to play the downloaded songs in their app only...But we can change this and can get downloaded files
Open ES File Explorer and enable Show hidden files ON ....
go to ANDROID/data/com.gaana
U will find one folder files open that
They are your downloaded files .........
Select one file by long holding ,,then mark all by using select all(top right coener tick mark) option and tap RENAME(below) in that select "rename extension name" type .mp3 and hit OK and u can move all these files to a folder wherever u want
now you can play this files in ur default player ..
But the problem is in ur player u wont see the names and album arts for these songs n it'll be PIUA I hope I helped u:angel::good:
Theres an app by Airtel called Wynk Music which you should also check out for listening free, they seem to have whatever I search for (and not just Hindi)
But you cannot download songs unless you purchase which I haven't tried. If you are on Airtel you can make a song your hello tune too.

Hi,
the location is accurate. this is where it used to be. but i think they have now upgraded the app and changed the location.
i tried searching all the folders but i could not find the files now.
has any one else been successful getting the files then please share the location.
how to identify drm files in wynk app, I think I have the location but I am not able to copy or rename any of the file.
Any updates guys?
Need Rooted Now
Now file are in root folder. All you need is rooted device and app call "root explorer". Go on youtube and get your device rooted. Files are in root-data-data-com.gaana-files
These files are saved in the form of numeric numbers. Copy them on your pc or just play on your device using player. Solid drawback is you need to rename all song names because numbers are given to the files.
Im using upgraded only

FOUND SUCCESSFULLY (IN MY ROOTED DEVICE).!
GET UR DEVICE ROOTED. OPEN ES FILE EXPLORER & GET THE ROOT PERMISSION (i.e. turn on the root access) & ALSO TURN ON THE 'SHOW HIDDEN FILES ' OPTION. NOW GO TO SDCARD->ANDROID ->DATA-> COM.GAANA->FILES. THAT'S IT!!!! THERE YOU WILL FIND ALL THE SONGS WHICH ARE ONLY NUMBERED :victory:

Hi,
yeah the root option is perfect.

and you are good to go.

I tried it and there is nothing in that folder. Gave it roote permission and hidden files and still nothing there.
can location be set to external sd card?
This works fine. Found the files. could rename and play on device media player.
But this app eats up internal memory. Is there any way to move the storage to External SD card?
memory usage app

I had the same issue for my MOTO G.
My problem was, I downloaded around 250mb of songs through the app but could not play it in the music player other than the app!
Solution:
Download an app named "Memory Usage" and see which folder is consuming big size. Open it and see each file size ( normally 4-6 mb) to confirm its the same folder used by the app for songs storage
>>find your folder and extract it through es explorer.
Just follow the other user's comments for extraction
Thanks
Thanks for the help. Did find the file in Android/ Data/ com.gana/files with help of EZ exlporer.

thanks buddy... my phone is not rooted still found the files here...
Android/ Data/ com.gana/files
with the help of "es explorer" ofcourse... In ES explorer, setting choose "show hidden files"... than it finds the file numbered files there...
To find it via PC cable though you have to rename the ".gaana" folder to "gaana" folder via "es explorer" only.... thanks hope this helps
Hi guys! I have an Xperia Z3 D6633 running on official Android version 6.0.1 with build number 23.5.a.1.291 rooted.My problem is that almost 5.0 GB of my internal storage is consumed by ".thumbnails" folder which I want to delete. I have searched some solutions and found out that normally people get some free space till these files reappear and in the mean time they can make this space useful but the case is different here. I have tried to delete this folder and all the containing files but even though the folder disappears for some time, I still don't get any free space even for a short time and the files start to reappear after some time. I don't have any Gallery other than the Album app and as it cannot be deleted, I have tried disabling but the problem still remains. I have also tried creating a new folder with the same name but the system would rename it to ".thumbnails 1" and another folder with the name ".thumbnails" would reappear . I had the same problem also with Lollipop on this device. I use FILE KOMMANDER, it is the system app.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Try MiXplorer from XDA (file commander isnt so good) then delete the .thumbs folder
Try Ccleaner from play store
Try SD Maid from play store
Try clearing data from Settings - apps - Media Storage (all your media will appear to be gone. It is still there but the phone wont see it until you reboot / download and run Media.re.scan from play store)
I wouldn't really know what else to suggest other than a clean install of your ROM even if it is stock as this seems like a bug

thumbnails folder store preview for all of your photos that you see on your gallery app (taken w camera or from whatsapp), if you want a smaller folder, transfer some pics to your pc or go cloud with google photos

FYI .thumbnails folder will always exist to make android media work properly, easiest method is delete those folder (.thumbnails) then create file named .thumbnails
In my case I'm using es file explorer, best file manager ever for me
You should accept all consequences, app that using photo preview from Android Media will not show or buggy (ie. Instagram, Facebook)
