ROM won't read SD card music?

[xDC23]

Does anybody else have problems with 4.4 ROMs reading music on SD cards? I like 4.4 ROMs better than 4.3 but music is a big deal breaker for me.

Are you able to access your SD card at all or is it just the music that's giving you trouble?

Just the music. I can access it through file explorers, and it shows its mounted in storage settings

Is it all 4.4.2 ROMs? What music player do you use? Have you tried other players? Is there a setting in your player to select which folders have media? I know this is unfeasible as a fix but can you, through a file explorer, open a music file directly and choose to play with whichever player you use?

I personally haven't had a problem with my music on any of the 4.4.2 ROMs I've tried (Liquid, SlimKat, Danvdh's GPE, Gummy.)

I've tried 4 different players. I'm currently on Liquid.
Yes I can access them through a file explorer, but it won't play the whole song.

All my music is on External SD and can be played without any problems.

I was having this issue as well until I noticed there was a .nomedia file in the music folder of my sd card. Deleting the file solved the issue. I have no idea why it was there in the first place.

I went ahead and formatted the sd card from the phone, and its working well now
Still not sure why it was doing that, but I hope this helps someone else with the same issue.
