I keep all my music on my SD card but the Gear app appears to only see the music folder in the internal memory. Any way around this without rooting the phone and creating a symlink?
Thanks!

Hello XDA Friends!
Device: SCH-I535 16GB
Stock Rooted ICS 4.0.4.
32GB SanDisk Ultra HC 1
This is the problem i have run into.
At first i had my music on the internal memory but its only 16GB so i had to move my music to the External memory. When the music was on the Internal Google Play Music read all my music. Now it doesn't recognize my music.
I have tried refreshing the music in the Play Music settings, i restarted my phone searched google and forums i even had Google give me a call to try to fix it but they walked me through all the steps i have already went through.
Is anyone else experienced this problem and-or have a solution?
Thank You in advance

I have no problem i do have music on external sdcard have it in /mnt/extSdcard/media/audio/music
not sure if dir matters
have you tried to clear data and or cache?
if not even try to uninstall and reboot re install
hope that helps
All of my music is on the ext SD card and, for me at least, things work w/o any problems. However my stuff didn't start out on the internal SD card.
Does the stock music player work since you've moved the music to the ext SD card?
Have you tried going into the app mgmt and clearing the Google Play Music settings to see if that helps?
Thanx for the help but i tried all of that and it still didnt work im going to flash CleanROM 1.2 hopefully that works

the music player works with all my online music but it wont pickup the music on the phone unless its in the internal memory
Hi.
If anyone in future has this issue, first step of troubleshooting is go into settings->storage and check the SD card appears there.
Second step is again in settings, open apps & find the app called Google Play or Google Play Services, open it and press "clear data"
after doing this, the next time you open Google Play it should have picked up any music you have on your SD card.
I have the same exact problem, except Google Music starts off seeing all my albums on the external card, but if I try to add new ones they aren't seen. I've tried clearing the data in Google Play services, and used a couple different "refresh SD" apps. Nothing works. It's so frustrating. Anyone got any other suggestions? The old school android music app doesn't pick up new additions either.

had this issue with the Google play music player for a long time. The thing is whenever you add new music or make changes to your playlist etc - it takes Google play music awhile to recognize and take effect. For example last week I added about 30 or 40 new songs to my phone I had to wait at least an hour or more (not sure because I didn't really time it) until I saw the changes in my Google play music. Even in the Google play music market comments you can see a lot of comments that speak to the same issue.
Hello
I have a decent music collection which takes up 1GB on the SD card. The only problem is that My SD partition has barely any space left (PS1, N64, and Gameboy ROMs take up a LOT of space). My internal partition on the other hand, has 1.68 GB free which is perfect for my needs. So my question is, How can i store music on the internal partition and get music apps to recognize it. I have a T-mobile One S with hboot 1.06 (bought on launch day ) running the latest Cyanogenmod nightly and use the Apollo app for music
I wonder if you could use es explorer to move the games to a folder in your root? Not sure though if it will have any adverse.

You should be able to move the games from the sd to internal vis the android app manager.
I already moved all the apps to Internal storage and using a root explorer i am able to move the music but Apollo doesnt recognize it
I've had my GS3 for awhile now, I've been through a gamut of roms, but I've always been in love with Cyanogenmod, which is what I'm currently using.
My only issue is, why does nothing utilize the SD card? I just resorted to deleting all of my photos to make room for my Spotify cache, but I shouldn't have to when I have a 32GB SD card in there, with all 32GB free.
I've tried flashing a camera mod that enables storing images on the SD Card, but doing this causes the video to force close the app, thus making video pointless. I'm now restoring from a nandroid backup so I can record video.
Spotify is the other big hog. I tried a method I read about yesterday that creates a syslink to the SD card for Spotify's cache, but the only thing that did was cause me to redownload 6GB of music to my internal SD card. I'm not sure why Spotify doesn't allow it's cache to be stored on the SD card natively anyway...
So I guess what I'm asking is, is there a rom out there that is as good as Cyanogenmon that can actually utilize the SD card? I'd rather not have to remove photos from my phone periodically, and not caching Spotify music is not an option as I get no service on my morning commute in the subway! Maybe what I need isn't a new rom but a mod or app that can help alleviate my issue?
Here is the method I used to syslink my Spotify: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Mob...on-the-external-SD-card-on-andriod/td-p/84023
I'm using CleanROM 5.5.1 and then this trick to load all my apps to my external SD card

The TW camera has an option to save to extSDcard, so any TW-based ROM would allow that. As for Spotify, no idea.
At start, sorry it this threatd was made before.
I just wonder is it only my note or is it standard that preinstalled multimedia apps [gallery, music player, video player] don't see multimedia from external sd card? this is so stupid i cant even imagine how's that possible.
Is there any solution for that [except using other apps]?
You are doing something wrong .
I have Videos on EXT b and Music on EXT .
Check your apps settings and folder locations .

Sounds like a corrupted sdcard to me or a bad sdcard reader..
Try the card on something else to see if its readable.. If you have another sdcard try that card in your note..

other sd card worked fine...simplest solution was best,
BUT problem was only with native multimedia apps, I found apps that haven't this problem with failure sd card.
I deleted music and photos and uploaded to old sd card again, it works ok now.

Thanks for Your help
Is there any mod, custom rom or method to move APPS to the external SD? I could do that in my Galaxy S2 but in the stock rom in my Razr HD is not possible, and i have games that eat like 2 gigs of the internal memory, while my external sd only store music and photos.
Any luck with that?
