Music/Media issue

[frisco49ers]

I can't play any of my music on my Priv. I have 17 GB of songs on my SD card. I can see all the documents/pictures/ringtones on my SD card but no music is sowing in the folder they are in when I connect to my pc
Any ideas? Settings?

I am pulling out what little hair I have left.

Welcome to Android Central! Which directory on the SD card is the music on? What music app are you using to try to play them?

 

[frisco49ers]

They are in media/music

I have tried es file Explorer, x-file and VLC.

All other media works fine.

It is like the folder is empty

Some were saying there is an issue with the sdcard if not formatted to FAT32. I don't know if this is your issue or not though.

If this was my issue wouldn't none of my files be readable?

Use a file manager app to make sure there aren't any files called ".nomedia" in the music directory or any of its parent directories. You might have to set the file manager to show hidden files.

I have used a file manager and it doesn't show any files at all. Not even the folders that are in the music folder. When I connect phone to the computer all the files are there.

It's possible the SD card itself is problematic. Can you try a different card?

I have ordered a new 128gb card, will see if hat makes a difference.

I couldn't wait for my card, i opted for the reformat. Once formated to fat32 from exFAT32 reloaded card, all worked perfect!
