Music files on SD card not showing in Music app

If I drag and drop music files to the Music folder in the phone storage they show up in the music player app fine.

However, files do not show in the app when I add them to the SD Card.

The SD card has been formatted in the phone. I'm adding files to this folder directory - Card/Android/data/com.google.android.music/files. Is this correct?


I'm new to android phones so I'd appreciate some help, thanks

just move all of your music folders to the top level of Card and you will see all mp3 in recently added list in your music app.

Thanks,
I created a Music folder in the top level of the card and that's done the trick
Cheers
