What is format of SD Card? What is format of songs. I have a large amount of music on removable SD card and music app sees it all. Try exploring music and select a song on removable card to play. should open player, which might help.
I also have this issue and more..

I have the keyboard and the sd card is using the standard 32bit format. music is in the media folder copied from my hts desire, same as pictures and movies.
All of which work on the desire but are not visable through any of the default installed apps, I have also installed various free apps which again do not show the files.
I can play them seperatly via file explorer and they play properly but do not stay in the history.
Contacted Asus who suggested that I clear the apps cache via settinges/ applications etc.
Tried that several times including reboot before opening apps and no joy.
Also having the issues with google maps downloaded and cached maps. only work on internal memory.
Not rooted yet but depending on these issues will either root or return.
The media services will only recognize internal memory and /mnt/sdcard.
You have to move any music/videos/pictures manually into internal memory or sd card.
The Music app and gallery find the stuff on my Micro SD without a problem.
How do I use it besides from roms and such? I can't play music, video or emulator roms off of it.
Not sure what you mean, all my music and videos are stored on my 32gb microsd, and I have no problem playing them without transfering them to the main memory.
When I add new music to it, the stock music player picks up the new tracks automatically, and mobo, which I use for video allows you to set the default directory to search for files it can use. Just select the file icon from the main menu and press the back soft key until you see the external sd listed.

I'm gonna have to recheck because it couldn't find anything on my sdcard before. Thanks.
should be pretty simple
Your external SD is located at /mnt/external_SD - i either use a external microsd reader or ES file explorer to copy files to my MicroSD - after copy you may need to reboot your a500 to have apps pick up on the files. I use a free great app called "SDRescan" - free from the market, no supported ads or anything like that - it will force a rescan of your media without the need to reboot.
Hope this helps - i keep my music and my camera/video recorder files on external SD and have no problems accessing them from any app I use.
Problems solved. The app I was using wouldn't allow it to scan anything besides sdcard instead of ext_sd (or whatever it is).
Is there any way to cut and paste (in ES File Explorer) between the two? It fails every time I try.
Using es file explorer
Cut/paste to the microSD card fails every time.
Work around - copy/paste - then delete files from the source after confirming copy was successful. Works fine for me

+1 for SDRescan. It took a couple of attempts before my media showed in the music player though. Kinda annoying, but bearable
Glad i could help
SDRescan is a must have tool for me - much faster to run it and force rescan then wait for a full system reboot. I usually find waiting for 10~ seconds after running/closing it works like a charm.
Just bought a 64gb Samsung evo Micro Sd card for my Stock unrooted 32gb Pure on MM.Just wondering are most of you guys running your Sd cards as internal or external????If I'm correctI heard Google play music has trouble reading music that's on the external. I currently have about 10gb available of my 32gb after using it for a month.
I'm using a 128GB card as external storage because I need to move large files between multiple apps. Internal storage is probably better if you're running multi-gigabyte games.
If this is your first microSD card: Google hates microSD cards because they compete with their online apps that provide continuous marketing data. Google crippled microSD cards in KitKat 4.4, forcing users to root or return their new phones. Lollipop introduced an ugly-as hell file browser that can, in a very obscure and unreliable way, grant an application permission to access the microSD card. Marshmallow allows you to semi-merge a microSD card, with warnings that you're slowing down your phone, or stay with the Lollipop permission method. Also in Marshmallow, microSD storage has a new file path that changes whenever the card is reformatted or replaced.
Yeah, I've replaced the ****ty Google apps with offline apps. Thank you Moto!
"If I'm correct I heard Google play music has trouble reading music that's on the external."
If this is the case I'm curious if this also is the same with Rhapsody, Spotify, etc., . . .?

Google play music will at random delete your downloaded play music on an external card. Happened a few times to me.
Thanks just trying to figure out if I should use card as internal or just keep it external, since my phone is 32gb and I don't use to many large apps
Do not convert to Adaptive Storage. That feature is so full of bugs. Just look at the threads on this forum.

Answering my own question . . . on my phone, with the SD card set to external, under Advanced Settings \ 'Choose music download location' , Rhapsody gives me two recommended options. The first option, /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.rhapsody.files didn't work. The second option, /storage/0000-0000/Android/data/com.rhapsody.files does work. The downloaded music files show up there and play in Rhapsody on the phone without issues. If this continues as I add more and more music I'll be a really happy camper . . . up to 128GB of downloaded music at 320kbps . . .
For the Oculus Gear VR, how can I see my own movies on the SD card? I assume I need to create a folder?
I have the same problem. I downloaded the Samsung VR Gallery app and that allows you to see your videos on the SDCard and play them.
Hi Guys, also had this problem.
What i figured out. Oculus for some reason cant find them on your SD card but can on you phone internal memory.
Just load your movies in the video folder, if you don't have one create it on your phone memory.
Guys,
Works fine for me on SD, so here is the file structure you need.
Create the folders on your SD as below
Oculus\360Videos
Oculus\360Photos
Oculus\Movies\My Videos
Oculus\Movies\My Videos\3D
Oculus\Multiscreen
Oculus\Trailers
Just dump your own videos in folder - Oculus\Movies\My Videos unless they are 3D, then put in folder - Oculus\Movies\My Videos\3D
All my movies are mp4 and work fine, but not sure what other formats are supported.
