I just purchased a 64gb sandisk ultra microsd. I moved my music into system/mnt/exSdCard, but the default music app will not pick up any of the music. I tried winamp app as well. Then I decided to start from scratch and just re-format the SD card. I created a directory called Music again within /exSdcard subfolder. No luck.

I am using airdroid to dump the files onto my note 2, when uploading music using the music icon within the web interface. I am seeing that it is being dumped into /sdcard/music. Not sure how to force the default music card to search the external card.

I looked for that file .nomedia file within the root. did not find it.

 

had to SHUT DOWN the device completely and when it rebooted. It recognized that directory. Strange since MX Player recognized the videos I placed in there earlier without the reboot.

 

Another issue :

Everytime I load music onto this device, in order for it to see it. I have to manually power cycle the device and then music player would see it. I tried killing off the music app and it still did not see it. Is there another process I can kill ? I am going to try to restore this phone back to factory default and see if that helps.

 

perhaps I will try power amp app and see a force re-caching option.


Currently using Airdrop and their "MUSIC" folder icon it only dumps to the default location /sdcard/music, not really sure where this points to.

I have to use the file manager folder within AirDrop UI to dump it into the mnt folder which the external sd card is mounted to.
