I don't think this is carrier specific but I am having a horrible time trying to transfer my music to my phone. I would use Airdroid but I want my music on my 64GB external SD. I also do not have any card readers laying around.
So here's the issue. When I highlight some folders to send over of music (lets say a full discography of a band) the transfer always times out. Eventually it'll ask if I want to quit the transfer or skip the song it is stuck on, however it never fixes itself. It is not a problem with the specific song as it randomly chooses which it doesn't like, and they are all the same formats. Its as if the phone itself has a bug in the OS that is not allowing transfering to happen. My only fix at this time is to upload 5-10 songs at a time. I plan on filling this whole SD card with music, so that is unacceptable.

Copied all my songs onto internal memory, music player says that it cant play the file types, they are all mp3's...however poweramp works fine and plays all of them. Anyone else having this issue?
I don't know why you would put media on the internal memory. I have 8Gb of mp3's on my external sd and have no issues with the stock music player and Power Amp also works well.

It has 16GB internal..what else would you do with 16gb's of space, besides media? Anyhow I rebooted and it started working fine, so I guess I should of tried that before ever posting.
well at least now we know reboot after copying media files to internal memory. lol
I think it has to rescan the media card after all those songs are put into the internal memory. rebooting forces rescanning.
ALSO you guys should download Music PLayer 3.0 beta from Google. It works on Froyo but not on the JVB JVH cappy's hahahaha... its a nice bonus
Having same issues, with a twist.
I like custom ringtones. So, I did what I have done for all previous android phones. I placed two folders (ringtones and notifications) on the 16 gig internal memory partition. I set up my custom ringtone via settings and imported my music. All was well. I tested out the ringtone and had several phones calls. About two hours later though, I looked at my phone and noticed I had some missed calls. That was odd, as the phone was sitting right next to me. I went to settings and none of my custom ringtones would work, just the stock ones. I also tested out music player and it said invalid format for every one of my mp3's. Doubletwist simply said the file could not be found. The only one that would play them was Moboplayer. I rebooted the phone and everything started working again. So, I thought it was a fluke. Turns out, another 6 hours later, same thing happened again. I had added no new files, etc. My custom ringtones and mp3's simply quit working and again, only Moboplayer would play my mp3's. This is all fixed by a reboot though. However, I shouldn't have to reboot every few hours because I'm afraid my ringtones will quit working. Any ideas? Sorry this was so long.
This started doing the exact same thing to me a couple of days ago. All of my music, videos, an customer ringtones stop playing. I have tried several different music players and they all receive an error that they cannot play the music type. Restart the phone, and bam, everything plays normally. Later in the day, it comes right back. Any suggestions?

How do you have your media folder setup?
Hi all,
I'm new and unsure whether this is the right place (I couldn't post on the i9100g develpment section). Apologies if it is not.
I've been living with a very annoying bug I reported over nine months ago on the CyanogenMod forum.
40 seconds or so into a song, the phone freezes, whether the music file is on internal memory or external SD card. Sometimes but less frequently, it also freezes after receiving a phone call or a text message. I tried wiping data & cache partition, flashing new kernel, without the SD card, without headphones, without sound.*I now run the 10.0*stable release.
Once it's frozen, the only option is to shut-off the phone manually (sometimes only taking off the battery will do) and reboot. As you can imagine, this is very tiresome. Nobody has been abmle to help thus far...
I saved the logs of a session before the phone crashed, and I was wondering if anybody would be able to read them and spot the bug. FYI, this log is with the phone playing music with Appolo. At the end of it, the phone blocked:
paste.debian.net/249306/ (can't paste the link to the log, but this is it).
Thanks for your help...

I don't have unlimited data, so I prefer using Play Music's download feature to store music to my phone so I can listen to it on the go without using up my data. Specifically, I have a class 10 32GB micro SD card that I have the app use for the storage.
The problem is, every time I download songs, when I play them, they're all messed up. They frequently have clipping, distortion, etc., and it's borderline unlistenable. And it's not just a few songs, it's every single one. Basically, they sound like they would if you were to stream them and happened to be on a pretty poor connection. But they're not being streamed...
I've tried clearing the cache and data on the app, I've uninstalled and reinstalled and redownloaded the songs, and the issue persists.
Any fix for this? Thanks in advance.
As a small "update", I decided to try a little test, to see if perhaps my memory card was the problem. I downloaded some songs to the card, listened to them to hear them mess up (they did), then I cleared all my downloaded music and switched the storage space to my phone's internal memory, downloaded songs again and listened to them to see if they'd mess up, and once again, they did. So whatever the problem is, it doesn't seem like it has to do with the memory card.
I don't know what else to do, though... My home Internet is fine and works well with all my other devices, so I don't think it's a matter of having a bad connection for downloading. This is so frustrating, and I don't know what else to do...
Edit: Another update... In my searches for info, I saw someone mention something about having issues with music when headphones are plugged into the jack. So I tried downloading some songs and playing them on my phone's speaker, sans anything plugged into the jack, and lo and behold, I don't hear any issues with the music. That's extremely bizarre... There has to be a fix for this, right? Maybe? I hope...?
Searched XDA but found nothing.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 from Sprint. In about a month, my plan is to replace it with the Sprint LG G3, and I'm thinking this problem will follow me there.
I have one perfectly functioning external 32GB SD card and a few Galaxy S3's. If I'm flashing something to my secondary phone to test it, I'll unmount and pull the SD card to use it. Every time I do that and re-mount it to my primary device, my playlists revert to what looks to be about 12 songs stored on my internal device. I have to go through and set up all my play lists again, and a few of them are big. Problem!
I'm currently using CM11 use Apollo music player, but I've used Fusion and others. The problem with my play lists disappearing happens on all the roms and players I've tried. I have no other issues related to my SD card, so I'm thinking this is not a card problem, but rather a file storage problem. But, I could definitely be wrong!
My music file is so big, I can't store them internally. Is there a fix for storing my playlists somewhere or in the settings so this doesn't happen every time?
Thanks!
So last week the tornadoes hit my hometown in Western Kentucky. If you watch TV, then you have seen it. 75% of the town is wiped out.. I have (should I say had) amazing video from that along with the destruction, the fear, there aren't really words for it all.. several friends are having issues with insurance and looting. I'm hoping some of their belongings are on my videos so police can prosecute the looters. (Totally not cool to steal from people who just lost everything.) Here's my dilemma
A couple days prior I changed My settings in my phone to record straight to sd card so I didn't have to move files to it. It's a SDHC. 1024GB MICRO SD. It was formatted because I've been using it for a while... just moving photos over to it from my gallery, no problem. Later that day I went to show the video and when I opened gallery I watched every video I had disappear and be replaced with the grey box and white exclamation. Photos I took are fine... eventually it has now greyed out 95% of my video.
I've tried playing on pc, with vlc, media player, Samsung video player, "unrecognizable file format " They are mp4. Here's what I noticed interesting.
I checked the SD card and it says healthy, no bad sectors.
The time length on each video says 0.00
The size of the file is different from the size shown in my explorer on my phone, pc, and what's shown by a file explorer/recovery program
I changed my settings back to record to the internal memory but still nothing.
I'm guessing headers or something didn't transfer or or hell who knows
I've changed the file extension and name. Nothing
I've tried converting but the file type isn't recognized.
Help! Here's photos of what I see
The last time I saw something like this, there was an issue with the card, not the phone. That doesn't necessarily mean that's your issue. But it's highly probably.
I agree it's the most likely scenario. Best thing to do is take a few similar test videos and replicate what you did on a new or different microsd card and see how it turns out. If it works and retains it then it's the original card. If not then it's an issue with the phone/ hardware itself.
I actually ended up copying the card and put it back in... the recordings I made next were fine! No settings were changed, and it's only the one Day they messed up... could it be because there was zero cell signal in town? Nothing could upload to the cloud.... I know moving files or even recording straight to sd will leave file pieces and signal most definitely should not affect storage on a device. I did get this data off one video though. Any ideas?
I've never heard of a data connection messing with storage of a device unless that device is separate and not directly connected. Again, doesn't mean it can't happen. But the most likely problem is still the card. You said you copied everything back on, what is happening to new content?
