Put Music to your SDCard ?

/Music

Hi,

There are the default songs that came with the phone in that folder. And I could see these songs in the music player, but now when opening the music player it says: "No music found"

And after using the eFile Manager app I saw that the songs are on the SD Card so they didn't move anywhere.

This also happened to my whole Gallery now. It says: no photos & videos found



What should I do???

The files are on the SD Card but not in the Gallery. Did unmount and remounted the sdcard several times and used the SDRescan app and everytime I use the Rescan app, the new pictures or movies I take before rescanning,, go away from the Gallery.

Please I really need help on this!!

Is it the standard SD Card that came with the phone?
If not, try a new SD card in there. All music in the sdcard/Music folder should be auto found as said above. If not, it sounds like there's a problem with your card.

Also, are you on stock ROM or rooted? Bought in shop or online?

Check if anywhere from the root of your SD card has this .nomedia file.
This nomedia file tells your gallery/music apps not to detect that part of the SD card.

Had this problem few months ago too

Yes it's a SD card that came with the phone (8gb Samsung) , I bought it online from Asia.
It was perfectly good until I got this problem.

I didn't do much with the phone in terms of changing the software or Rom. So it's the same Rom the phone came with (stock).

Hi!

It worked! Now I have my pictures and music back!

BUT I also took some videos :S

Where are these videos at? :S because they are not in the Video player :S and they are very important videos :S

Please help me with this!

Also how should I get rid of the sounds in my music player use the .nomedia folder then? because I have a lot of sounds from the apps and games playing in the music player while I'm listening to music.
and just having the .nomedia folder empty did hide all my music and picturesa and can't find my videos right now.


Please some help would be appreciated!


Thanks

u just got to place the nomedia right

f.e.
SDCARD
- media
- - music
- - videos
- Android
- - game1
- - game2

in this case u can palce the .nomedia in the game1 and game2 directorys, just not in the root sd folder
.nomedia prevents album&music to scan the directory & all subdirectories from scanning

Many thanks, this is the way to put music and play in DHD.

try remounting your sd card via recovery

Thank for explaining me this!

NOW I know how this nomedia thingy works.

I did it but STILL don't know where those videos went.

and I really need them

Why does that file .nomedia appear?

I had the same issue, and if not for this forum, i wouldn't know what to do.

Don't know how I got it on there. And more serious is, you think anyone else would look or just re-format. I don't know if it is a bug, but pretty serious if the average user has no clue what to do.

I don't know how the hell did the .nomedia file ended up in the root of my two sdcards, but I agree it's a serious problem, I was just preparing myself to do a hardreset and even to send my phone to repair when I found this thread.

I had the same problem 2 days ago and I formatted the SD card and everything worked fine after it.I remember seeing this nomedia thing in most folders but I also recall that some files got deleted (one avi and one flv).could it be a certain app issue?
