Hi,
when I navigate to ext. SD via file manager and force an mp3 to load in playerpro, then it plays that one file. but that navigation is extremely inconvenient. Unfortunately all the music players do not see the external SD card. Is there another solution?
according to developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html there should be no problem when using the "new" API.
so how come no music player does that?
Any hint would be great. Best wishes!
btw: my razr i is not getting anywhere near android 5 thanks to motorola

Hi, i would like to notice you that the integrated music player in G build cannot play MP3 file. I used ASTRO file manager to access the music folder /sdcard/Music in the SD, then when i click on mp3 file the device says that "impossible to reproduce this file"... Is it a bug or there is another way to let play mp3 files?? thanks in advance...
i tried to flash back the H version and with the same SD card tha music player can play the music...that's all
I've been using this build and listening to mp3's on my new stereo bluetooth headphones with no trouble at all. I wish i could give you more help with your problem. Anyone else?
Good morning,
I have really ben enjoying my TnT Lite 4.24 g Tab. However, I am having problems accessing all of my music on the sdcard2. I am sure it is user error, so hopefully someone can help me out.
All of my music was synced directly to the card on my Windows 7 laptop through Windows Media Player. All of the music is on the card. I then installed the card into the G Tab and turned it on, giving the G Tab a few minutes to scan the card (I think it does that) I start the Music app, but only a couple albums are avaialble. Why would this be?
Using ES Explorer, I see all the albums are there and can even play the music from ES Explorer, but not the Music app.
Any idea on what I may have one incorrectly getting the music onto the card, or how to fix this?
Thanks or any help!

I finally gave up storing music on the external sdcard. I have the best luck when I put all of my music and videos on the internal card. And the problems existed with the built in music app, and winamp.
Music Problems too
Hello,
I am also having problems with music files...my albums all show, however, some of the albums have songs appearing from completely different artists/albums...it's as if some index is corrupt or not properly compiled.
I'm running TnT Lite 4.4 and I've copied all of my music to the internal SD card. I've downloaded the WinAmp app and have the same problem as with the stock music player installed with the ROM.
Is there a way to rebuild the index? Or does such a thing exist?
Any ideas?
TIA...
Hello,
yes, I'm new to this forum. And yes, I right away have a really special problem
I have ripped my 2000+ CD's onto a harddisk. Now I've bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 which has the USB host feature which works without problems.
When I use the stock music player, I can't remove the USB harddisk with the large MP3 library because when I do, the automatic media scanning removes all files from the database, and when I connect the harddisk again, all files are scanned anew which lasts an eternity
So I looked for a music player which maintains its own database independent from the Android one. After a REALLY long search I found TTpod which works well - when I remove the USB harddisk, the TTpod library remains unmodified and doesn't get rescanned when connecting again, just like I wanted it. The music folder on the harddisk got a ".nomedia" file so it's invisible to the Android media scanner.
BUT (!), and that's why I'm asking here for help:
TTpod doesn't have a search function! (The stock player and some others have.)
But I need one! Often I have to search for something like "Err... there was this piano prelude by Brahms...", and in other players it's easy: I type "brahms piano prelude" into the search box, and voilà - there are all matching files listed. But with TTpod it's very awkward to find something in a larger collection!
So, my question in short:
Is there any media player
1) which has an own independent media library with search function
2) which can use a folder on a USB device as root folder
3) whose library remains unaltered when the storage medium is disconnected
4) which can index this folder in spite of a ".nomedia" file in it?
Or is there any other possibility to solve my problem and maintain a huge MP3 library with my SGS2 comfortably?
Thanks in advance,
best wishes,

Try PowerAmp,
You can turn off system media scanning and i believe it keeps its own database.
I'm sorry, but PowerAmp uses the built-in Android library.
AND it can't use a folder on an external USB device.
*sigh*

Try power player..
Do you mean "Power Music Player"? There's one app named Power Player but that's for streaming...
Power Music Player doesn't work. Shows empty Library tab; I can't choose any folders.
I don't want to be impolite, but please suggest an app ONLY if you tested it yourself, otherwise this thread will be filled with suggestions like "Try Mixzing...", "Try PlayerPro..." I REALLY have tested MANY apps myself already, otherwise I wouldn't ask here!
Thanks!

Hi
If I root and installed stick mount, does external players (eg. MX player and google play music) recognise the files on the sd card? In other words am I able to stream directly on 3rd party apps without nexus media importer?
I'm pretty sure it's like a regular USB.
If the files that you're transferring as long as they're compatible like MP3s and img files would be fine.
Yes. I've been using the exact same product since I got my nexus. I use it exclusively to listen to music and have tested it on Google music and power amp, both load up the SD card immediately. Decent solution for expanding the memory

I have one and can confirm that it works perfectly.
I have the weirdest MP3 issues. I buy all my MP3 (yes I buy my music) from Amazon MP3 app. I move all the files from the amazon mp3 folder on the internal card into the Music folder on my SD card.
Any music player I use finds the songs without issue, even the Amazon MP3 app. My typical app is the Samsung Music app. All the songs I move it finds without issue. If I don't move the files, it'll find them inside the amazon_mp3 folder on the internal card where Amazon downloads them to.
It works flawlessly. Except for the following issue. If I move this one Album (Lorde - Pure Heroin) to the external card, it isn't found by any music app. But if I leave it in the original Amazon folder it can be found without issue. It only seems to happen to this one album. I can't understand what is the deal. I move all my other downloaded MP3 from the internal card to the external card and they are all found.
I have a Galaxy S4 Tmobile.
Any ideas?
