thanks for the feedback.

I'm looking for the same advice but for external USB hard drives. I can open File Manager and play an mp3 but I don't know how to get any player to add the drive to the library. Any ideas?

I think you have to force the device to scan for new media. There are a few apps on the market for this but I have not tested them.

Thanks curti.nogg
do you know any worth a try?
I would like to leave an external USB hard drive in my car, connect the dock (via usb), and use the headphone jack to play mp3s.
Thanks for your help

USB mp3 folder select
I think I got what I need out of MortPlayer. After adding the re-occuring folder name /Removable/USBdisk1 to the 'Folder and tag reading' 'Main folder' MortPlayer found the folders of albums. I was able to remove the screen from the dock and reattach it. The widget was able to begin playing again with the same library folders.
So I think I could keep a large external USB harddrive in my car, connect it USB to the dock and take the tablet with me when I leave the car. Upon returning to the car, I should be able to dock it and retain the library info.
I suppose the only missing piece is whether the external would be better running off a 12 to 5V supply than using the Asus's USB connection.
Thanks again

Music application for Docked iPod

Hi, I want to plug my ipod into the USB on my dock so that I can play the music on it... from some sort of catalogue. The Music on an iPod is stored in random folders for example ipod_control\music\b0\ and the file names are random within that directory. Does anyone know of a play app that will scan an external drive for music and make it available to play in some for of interface that will group all the correct songs back into their albums? For example winamp on the PC will do this for you. I have tried winamp for android, but it does not do this
Thanks

[Q] Music player with own database for very large library?

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!

External USB drive not recognizing by music player?

Hey guys
I'm connecting my USB drives via the OTG cables...
My s5 seems to recognize the drive and I can open all the folders and files
However, my music player doesn't recognize the drive (it only scans the internal phone drive, along with the MicroSD (extSDcard), and not the USB that i plugged in via OTG cable
Is there a way I can make my music player recognize the drive? I tried 3 music player, Winamp, rocketplayer, n7player
Basically.... if there a way to allow the systems to show rooted audio folders

If you use a file manager like Root Explorer, you can navigate to the USB drive and tap when you tap the music file, it should ask you what to use to play the file. AFAIK, it won't play the whole folder though.

I tried that... like you said, it only allows me to play one file and not the whole album/folder... however, if I told the folder and click settings and then play, it does play the whole folder but it uses the "ES file explorer music player instead of my rocketplayer

[Q] OTG USB and Music Player

Hello, just received my Meegan OTG USB Micro adapter, moved my Music to the msdcard, but now, when I launched the music Player Pro app, there is no music file except the one that is in the internal storage Samsung folder. Tried to force in the music player app settings to search in the external sd but no luck. If I go thru Astro File Explorer, I can see the external sd and all the music, but the Player Pro app only open the song that I selected and not continues playing the other songs.
Any recommendation?
(EDIT) Tried with VLC player and now I am able to play more than one song...

PowerAmp work good with otg

Neutron also works once you point it to the file location on the OTG.
Neutron is audiophile quality listening...
