hey guys, im running ARHD 6.5.1 XE and i'm having problems with the included play music (formerly google music) app. i can access all my cloud music but i've got about 5 gb of music on the sdcard which play music isn't able to detect. ubermusic and the htc music app all see it though.

i've looked in settings and there's nothing that seems to be hampering it. can someone tell me how to fix it?

thanks!

It isn't stored on your SD card, it is stored as Cache for the app itself. If you want the music to be on your SD card, then you will have to use the physical program on the computer call Google Music Manager to download them to your computer and then transfer them to your SD card

I've had this problem with Google Music not seeing my music on the SD card. My solution has been to go into settings - apps, google music app and clear data and cache. Then fire up google music again and it should see your SD card's music.

This happened to me before I just played music in another player then play music detected my music or try to manually play a song on your sd card with play music.
