音楽プレーヤーが私のオーディオファイルを見つけることができないのはなぜですか？ -- cyanogenmod フィールド と internal-storage フィールド と music-player フィールド と nexus-4 フィールド と mp3 フィールド android 関連 問題

On my Nexus 4, there's a folder called /sdcard/Music/ (or just /Music when browsing the phone's storage; Windows 7 calls it Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music) and I've put a lot of songs in there but the music player doesn't see any of my songs. Why can one app (the file manager, and e.g. Dropbox) see the files, but not another app (Play Music, Apollo, Jukefox)?

Notes:

• LG Nexus 4 16GB, unlocked, with CyanogenMod 10.1
  (nightly build 20130212 because nothing more stable is available but there are no crashes.)
• The songs are stored in the path format /sdcard/Music/Artist/Album/Song title.mp3 (simply because that's how they're stored on my media drive).
  • Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music\Eagles\On the Border\1 Already Gone.mp3
  • Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music\Kashmir\The Good Life\10 Kiss me goodbye.mp3
  • Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music\Christina Stxe7x9cx89rmer\Freier Fall\1 Geh nicht wenn du kommst.mp3
    (yes there's a Chinese character in there and I don't know why; it's a German xc3xbc (umlaut u) on my original Windows media drive)
• I know that the songs are present and that they work because the CyanogenMod File Manager shows them and I can play them individually. They do exist!
• Running Rescan SD as suggested below didn't make the files appear in any of the player apps.
• I'm fairly certain there are no .nomedia files: The CyanogenMod File Manager doesn't display files that begin with a . (I renamed an existing TXT file and it promptly disappeared :)) but I used the Root Browser Lite to look through /Music and subfolders -- the only match I found was the one I had renamed, and I have deleted that now.
• My Windows pc at work couldn't see the files either, but after unplugging/replugging the USB it now can see+open+play the files. (I've now revised this question to remove the Windows part.)
• I'm still mystified by the fact that file-browser apps see the files but music-player apps don't.

Seeing a file name like Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music\Christina Stxe7x9cx89rmer\Freier Fall\1 Geh nicht wenn du kommst.mp3 points to a special problem with "special characters" (such as German Umlauts) which got messed up on data transfer: While Windoze uses its own character set (MS-ANSI or wone of the WIN-12xx, depending on configuration), Android expects UTF-8 -- which is why it's a good custom to use only 7-bit ASCII characters in file names.

Due to this mismatch and the "unidentifyable character", the media scanner most likely has crashed. Which resulted in the media database not being populated, from which follows: The players think "no media files there".

Proposed actions

I'd suggest to either temporarily delete or at least rename all affected files, so that no file with "special characters" in its name remains. Then have the media scanner run again (e.g. triggering it with Rescan SD). Once that's finished, I'm pretty sure your media player(s) will find something to play (with).

That being approved, you know what to look for in the future. As said before, I strongly recommend to restict characters in file names to 7-bit ASCII -- that avoids a lot of problems, though some names might look a little strange ;)

In the stock ROM the Nexus 4 default music player should be "Play Music" with an icon that looks like yellow headphones, never heard of Apollo but it's possible this is something your custom ROM's changed.

Most music players on Android get their "media library" from the built-in media scanner service, this should pick up MP3 files stored in any user-accessible storage location on your phone and add them to the scanner's library. Sometimes the media scanner doesn't "notice" new files you've just added and needs to be told to do a rescan, there are apps on the store that can do this, such as Rescan SD, you can find a selection of them with a search of the Play Store if you run one of those and wait a couple of minutes all of your media should be picked up.

It's unlikely from what you're saying, but it's also possible that a hidden .nomedia file may be sitting in your Music folder, or one of it's parent/child folders. The presence of this file tells the media scanner to ignore the contents of that folder and it's child-folders. If you find that file somewhere in your Music folder's hierarchy, delete it.

Neither the pre-installed android music app nor Apollo music player could see the files I side-loaded until I flattened the directory hierarchy to one-level. For example, Music/Band/song.ogg works, Music/Band/Album/song.ogg does not. If only music players could see through those shallow id3 tags and get back to basics!

Had the same problem on Android 4.4.2. My solution:

1. move sdcard/Music to sdcard/media/Music
2. reboot to recovery mode
3. wipe cache (system cache, not the dalvik one)
4. reboot system

enjoy with Google Play Music! ^_^

move sdcard/Music to sdcard/Media/Music reboot opo. All files showed up on players.

Delete the .nomedia found on your music folder. Internal and external sd card music folder. Install player pro media player. Go to settings and point it to where your music folder at on your external sd card. Once your songs showed up, it will show on your stock music player too. Good luck

Your music library might not be set up to scan even the /sdcard0/Music/ folder.

Connect your android phone the your computer and active "USB Mode"

On your computer access the SD card on your phone over the USB cable. So on windows it might look like "F:\Music\" as a drive letter.

So, in this instance my issue looked like this "F:\Music\Music_aa\" I renamed it to "F:\Music\Music_ab\"

The Android USB helper service on the phone automatically starts a new scan for all media inside /sdcard/Music/Music_ab on the phone once you disconnect from USB mode.

Hope this helps.

Ok guys.... Last night out of the blue my stock android media apps album and music player could not find any of the photos or songs that were actually in my sd card. After escaping a stroke by a little....and four hours letter after readind a lot of forums I found a solution:

For the music player I used an app called "Next music" which could actually see the songs. I went to an option called scan by hitting the refresh button, did a full scan and magically my songs were readable by every other app including the stock player. Without any rebooting

For the photos I used quickpick. It was the only one that could actually see the photos. I opened each folder in my album then by pressing the hard menu key there was an option called" Fix Date". Did that for every folder and tbey appeared on my stock album app. Without rebooting

Ps :deleting every .nomedia I found did absolutely nothing...

I had this problem and I found the solution, when you go to your phones "file manager", disable "show hidden files". Then the installed players will not recognize your mp3 files. So make sure the hidden files are hidden in the file manager.

I experienced the same thing on my Samsung Galaxy S3 mini.
I just used Rescan SD/Rescan (used them both because I wasn't sure where my music was SD card/Internal SD)
After that - it just worked and my Samsung stock music player worked!!

I had the same problem with the Samsung Galaxy s5 running cyanogenmod. Here is what i did. I put the music into my internal storage and it was working fine. Then i copyed the files over to sd\media\Music, if you dont have these folders, create them. Then test and see if the file shows up by deleting one of the songs in the internal storage. if it doesnt pop up, then unmount and remount the sd card.

Rename the folder or move your files to Some new folder like (Music/). It will automatically fetch your mp3 files.

Create folder media/Music. Put all your media folders and files. Make readdressing and rescanning in your player (I use VLC) Problem should be resolved.(LinageOS 15.1 on Nexus 5X)

.nomedia - I had 2 of them files on phone and one on sd - deleted all three and Hay Presto Music player now sees all songs on SD card and phone - all good thanks - using Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 lite - had tried reformatting SD - reboots of phone - different media players - but by deleting all .nomedia files was the only solution that worked - worked a treat - didn't even have to reboot phone - just a quick rescan from media player

I mounted and un mounted my sd card and all apps recognized the files again
