External HD and music?

[Beerninjaxiii]

I can browse my external hard drive no problem, I can move music onto my tablet no problem, the only problem I have is I can't get my music player to read the music from my external HD. I have over 200gb of music on my external and would like to just play randomly from the HD instead of having to pick and choose what music I move onto my tablet.

So my question is what am I doing wrong, I have tried everything I can think of. I have looked at every setting with no luck.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

I thought about this breifly, and realized that this is the ultimate portable machine, why would I want to tie it anywhere by having my drive attached? Google Music solved this for me. Now my drive sits only connected to my laptop.
