Music Player Issue

[rgm1266]

I'm running SC 2.9.1. When I try to listen to music, the music players don't locate or show up in the play list. When I try the stock player, I get a Vcast error "Would you like to down music"? When I try the music player that comes on SC 2.9.1, nothing shows up in the view. The same thing happens when I use WinAmp. I've renamed the music folder a few times and still no luck.

Should I reinstall SC 2.9 and then 2.9.1 update? Or has anyone else had this problem and solved it?

This is driving me crazy!!!

Thanks

what program are you using to put music on your phone? did you do a data and cache wipe?

I found the solution. It's happened to a few users. There's a file on the SF called .nomedia that will cause the media scan not to locate or bypass pics, videos, and media files. The file is located in the music folder (if that's the name of your media folder). You just need to delete the .nomedia file, then reboot. The player should work. I've had an instance where the file reproduced itself.

It comes from 2 things. 1) People who want to disable the media scan and 2) when removing the memory card, it has been corrupted.

Hopefully this info helps.

Thanks

Update....

After I deleted the .nomedia file and rebooted the SF, I was able to see and play the music files. But then I rebooted the SF, the .nomedia files comes back. It keeps doing this everytime I reboot the phone, so this doesn't allow me to play media files. I have to delete the .nomedia files everytime after I reboot to play media files.

Is there an application that will remove .nomedia? Does anyone know a way to remove the file permanantly?

My bad....

Thanks
