hook it up via usb to your laptop, pull down the notification bar, hit the usb notification, press mount... after that it should show up as a removable drive in your "my computer" folder... typically windows also uses the autoplay feature so that you can choose what you want to do with the mounted sd card

just drag and drop.how do the files get to the right places.my sd card has partitioned to run a Hero Rom
the phone automatically searches for both music and pictures in your sd card.. you can drag and drop and store them wherever you want... if you're OCD like me, put pictures in the DCIM folder which is where pictures are stored after you take them with the camera or camcorder application... music can pretty much go anywhere

cool,thanks for the help.after all the time in invested in rooting,partitioning,installing Hero rom,didn't think it could be that easy,LOL
I recently had just bought a 32gb Sandisk micro SD card for my HTC Evo. When I hook my phone up to computer, change it to a disk drive and go to transfer music it say it goes on my phone. But when I go to play the songs, they just skip 1 after another after another. And non of them work. I dont know if I need to make a special folder or something on my phone. But then when I load up Astro to look through my files it shows it on my sd card, but that its not actually there. If that makes any sense.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance..
That's strange. I just bought the Wintec 32GB Class 10 and it works fine. I did notice, though, after I load up a bunch of music, that it takes Android a long time to catalog it all. It sits there, screen flashing, popping up the "Updating Media Files" notification for a long time. The songs don't show up in my music player until this process is complete. Does your phone do that as well?
Are the song from itunes? Do they have DRM?
Did you try formatting the SD card?

what music player are you using? I suggest DoubleTwist.
im just using the default media player that came with it. And not from itunes. Im just linking my computer to it, and dragging and dropping into my sd card. normally ill make a folder and name it music. dunno if i need to do anything maybe to the folder?
Try searching for SD card spreed fix.....I had the same problem
HTC EVO
I use poweramp and I usually have to go into the settings and tell it to "rescan folders" and sometimes you can select what folders it looks in. Check for similar settings in your player.
You have been EVOfied.
Have you looked at how large the files are on the SD Card? Making sure they actually contain data (the music)?
Can you play the files from the SD Card when you have the phone mounted to the computer?

Well when the phone is mounted, it cant read anything off the card.. Theres something going wrong from it being on my computer to when it transfers to the SD card and then is un mounted. I just dont know what that is..
Create a folder on the sd card named music and drop them all in there. Then make sure in settings the sd card is mounted. home screen/settings/sd card and storage. I think it causes issues when you just drop them on the root of the sd card. Some don't have a problem but others do.
Do you have a SD card reader you could use to check out the contents of the card not through the phone?
Agree with the post to make a music folder, that's how mine is.

Thats what ive been doing. no bueno. Thats where I get my problems. It works for a few songs normally, then the rest dont workk.. Makes no sense..
I read somewhere in this forum yesterday someone mentioned that when he inserted a SD Card full of pictures, the built-in Picture Gallery in Honeycomb does not display the pictures in the SD Card. He can only open each picture one by one from the File Manager. Further comments from other folks clarified that Asus added/mounted the SD Card reader but Honeycomb native applications do not recognized them yet.
Is this the case for all media files stored in either microSD card or the full SD card? I mean, most people (especially the 16GB owner) surely plan to use the microSD or SD card to expand the storage of the device. But if those media files cannot be recognized by the Honeycomb application, that means we still need to copy to the internal storage for those files?
I do not have the transformer yet but want to know about it. Thanks!

Hopefully this will be addressed as honeycomb matures. You can however access the files using a file explorer app, far from ideal but it will do for now.
From the File Manager, can we copy a folder from the SD card to the internal storage?
Or from the SD Card to an extenal storage like HDD?
(I'm trying to ask if we can copy a bunch of pictures in a SD card (taken from a camera) and store them in the external storage for backup and internal storage for displaying in the tablet).

Yes, you can copy files and folders using the file manager.
I have no problems with any of the few thousand photos or few thousand songs i have on my micro SD. The transformer recognizes everything fine in gallery, music app etc...
16g transformer here.... Hope that helps.
Also, After the recent OTA a few days ago my sd card disappeared, but i just popped it out put back in and back to normal...

And hopefully with the 3.1 update in June can just plug the camera in and move the files across in the file explorer..
Gallery3D is a piece of crap. It doesn't refresh properly

So, if I get it correctly, the issue I mentioned earlier is only with the full SD Card? (not affecting the microSD)?
At least, that's not that bad (as in our smartphone, the Android does recognize all music, pictures stored in the microSD card).

I can only speak for myself but that is the case for me.
I am having the same problem. I tried putting a few cd's onto both the sd and mcsd and still nothing. I cannot get the songs to play in the music player. I can however access pictures but cannot find any of the songs. Anyone else have this problem?
Most people said as soon as they plug in the card the TF automatically recognizes the songs and plays. Mine does not and I cannot find them anywhere even with an explorer app installed? I am also a Android novice!
No problems with pictures..
Regarding music, Have you tried going into settings >manage Apps and delete/clear the cache for the music player? That worked for me.

I had the same problem, until I removed the Music from my internal storage.
Now the music app sees everything on the MicroSD.
I've not had much luck with them seeing stuff on the dock mounted SD cards though.
That did it!!!!!! WOoooohooooooo! Thanks man. Jeez why should that be so damn difficult?! Thanks a ton man,

pictures work just fine. as people have said, music can be iffy, just clear the data and it'll work.
one thing though, anything plugged into the USB ports or SD slot on the dock WON'T load in any of the default apps. at least not on the 3 USB drives i've tried. you can still open everything from the file manager without any issues, but they won't show up.
Make sure your sdcard is formatted using fat32
You are welcome
How do you get the camera to save images to removable storage?
I have no issues with default music app and playerpro seeing all my music on my microsd card.

I don't think that matters - Transformer can read/write external USB hard drives formatted to NTFS; there's no reason why it shouldn't read NTFS cards, either (not that I've tried, as it's kinda rare to have one).
Samsung Galaxy S I9100
I have always had assigned its own ringtones for certain contacts or groups, but have the problem on my Samsung Galaxy S ii i9100 that they disappear and all of a sudden turn "stand ringtone" also I define for receiving SMS can suddenly change.
Others with the problem and possible. a solution.
With 4 cell phones in the house is nice to hear the difference
Hi,
maybe this helps:
Create a folder 'media' on your INTERNAL SD Card
Create a folder 'audio' in the folder media
Create the folders 'ringtones', 'notifications' and 'alarms' in the folder audio
Put the MP3s or whatever in the folder you like
Choose the tone
Ready
Worked fine for me
Bye

I have already. My ringtones are already on the external memory card, but I go under my contacts, and select one of these ringtones, then deletes phone them at a time and bring them all back to default ring tone. That is what is my problem.
As I said: They should be on the INTERNAL card...

I've got a similar problem.
My ringtones used to work fine, but now I can only use the standard ones for some reason. I've put my own mp3 ringtone into both /sdcard/ringtones (which used to work), and also in /sdcard/media/ringtones, but it no longer shows up on the list of ringtones to select when I go into settings/sound/phone ringtone.
Anyone else got this or know how to fix it?
Thanks.

I actually have 2 folders named: "ringtones" and "notifications" on the external sd card and all the sounds in those folders can be selected as ringtones, notifications or alarm sounds.

Thanks for that - it worked. I thought the "ringtones" folder had to be on the internal SD card. Maybe there's some setting somewhere I don't know about that tells it whether too look on the internal or external card.

I'm a complete android noob, as S2 is my first android device. I had to google info about setting custom mp3 ringtones and everybody said the folder must be on the internal sd. I already had the folders named like that in my HTC Touch HD sd card and surprise... when i put the sd card in the S2 i could set the ringtones. So the folders can be on external sd card too. Doubt the OS has a default option of looking on internal or external sd. It probably searches those folders anywhere, be it internal or external.

Well the strange thing is it used to work with a "ringtones" folder on the internal SD card. Then it stopped working for no reason, but now works with the same folder and mp3 on the external SD card.
Anyway I don't really mind now that I've got my custom ringtone back.
Sorry but a really noob question ..........
Where do I put music and video's so that the default app's find them?
I thought the SD card was 'external_SD' so that's where I put the music folders. But then, when I try to navigate to that on the phone, there's nothing in there. And also, when I open the music app' it doesn't show anything that I've added!!
So can you tell me where you put audio and video files please.
Sorry, I really show know this but it's not something I've done on any of my phones before!
Thanks in advance for you help.
SDCard : Internal Storage ,the 16Gb build in
External SD : The micro SD (T-Flash) you insert into phone
And inside Windows Explorer ,it should be two drives ,say ,Drive E and Drive F ,one is internal ,one is external
Hope this help
I think memory your looking at is the built in memory. I put some video files in the folder marked media and it found them ok. If you want to find the external memory you need to go to settings,wireless and network then usb utilities to connect tovpc. Thenn i just put all my music on there. Again it found them ok.

Right, I've done the music files. I've dumped them in the 'Music' folder in the above screenshot and it appears to have found them. The only annoying thing is that it's sorted each song alphabetically and not by track number!
Now I just need to work out where to put videos.
I also still can't see, from my screenshot of the folder structure above, where my SD card is. If it is that 'external_SD' then why aren't files showing when I explore it on the phone?
And does the Note not play .mov files? I've transferred some across but when trying to open them it states, "No applications can perform this action".
