Music says unsupported file type even though its mp3

Okay so I have a galaxy s4 and i have a lot of music that i put on my SD card. The only problem is it keeps saying that the file type is unsupported. I've formatted my SD card a million times now, but when I put the music back on half of it works and the rest still says unsupported file type and wont play. Some of the files just dont even show up at all! its frustrating. Never had this problem with my previous s4!

Welcome to Android Central! The card could be defective or counterfeit. Can you try a different card?

You can also Unmount the current card (in Settings>Storage), remove it, and insert it into your computer. Backup all of the data first, then run chkdsk to look for bad sectors. You can also check the validity of the card in the phone by running SD Insight.
