HTC EVO 4G :: Music To SD Card Keeps Disappearing
Nov 3, 2010
I got a evo and I have songs on itunes and I just upgraded my sd card to a 32gb. I have been trying to transfer my music from the folders to the sd card (made the folder and named it "Music".It will show for a lil while and when i go back into the folder in the sd, says it empty.I also downloaded the doubleTwist program, the files transfers okay, and then the same thing again.I have already formatted the new sd card and also factory reset the phone but it keeps on doing the same thing.

Can I ask how you put music on your HTC Desire? I will just quickly explain how I do it:
-Plug in the HTC Desire with the supplied lead (the one that also enables you to charge the phone via the mains plug)
-Select the Disk Drive (mount as disk drive) option, when I do this a window automatically appears on the screen of my laptop, and the option I click on is "Open folder to view files (it says "using windows explorer" underneath this option)
-Another window then opens up which is the contents of my phone (Comes up as Removeable Disk (F )
-From here I open my music folder on my laptop, position each window side by side, and drag'n'drop the music I want into my phone (displayed as Removeable Disk (F )
-I then go back to my phone, select "charge only", and a message briefly appears in the notification bar at the top of the phone which says "preparing SD Card"
-When I go into my music player it will either say "no music found" or (As I have done this countless times now!) it will show the music I have put on the phone with a message that says "unable to play this type of file", even though it is an MP3.
So my question is how do you all put your music on your HTC Desire? Is there anything I must do to ensure the music will play, or even stay on the phone?

I'm using a Gemini Devices Gem1031BK 16GB tablet running Android 4.1.1 and Nova Launcher. I have 2 main problems.
Problem 1, if I move my photos to the SD card I can no longer view them on the tablet. It is as though they no longer exist, but the tablet will run Apps stored on card.
Problem 2. I keep getting "App Not Installed" messages although the icon is still present on the desktop. This happens with various apps, Candy Crush Saga, BBC iPlayer, BBC Media Player etc. The only thing I can do then is reload the app from the Play Store.

I recently changed the storage location on my Incredible's camera from Phone Storage to Storage Card (i.e., my SD card). Yesterday I decided to move the previsouly taken photos "IMAG*.jpg" from the phone storage to the SD card and used the Astro app to perform this move. I made the mistake of using "move" rather than "copy-paste". Something went wrong and somehow none of the "imag*.jpg" that were previously on my phone's internal storage are neither there nor on the SD card.
Where could these files have disappeared to? Is there a "Trash" folder in Android like in Windows where these jpg files could be still hidden? Anyway to recover them? Using the search feature on Astro didn't reveal any of the newly disappeared jpg files.
Here's what I did using the Astro app:
step 1: navigated to /emmc/DCIM/100MEDIA
step 2: clicked on multi and selected all the jpg files there (about 15 or so), i.e., all file names turned orange.
step 3: clicked on Edit, selected Move.
step 4: navigated to /sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA which already had a few images that I had taken since changing the default storage location in my camera.
step 5: clicked on EDIT, selected Paste.
That's when I got a message saying "unable to move" or some such error - I don't recall the exact words and I had to click ok only for the same error to appear again some 15 more times. I guess it appeared once per image.
I went back to /emmc/DCIM/100MEDIA (the phone storage location) and to /sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA (SD card location) but the files aren't there in either location. Please note that I'm a noob to Android having only used Windows Mobile OS phones in the past. I appreciate any help and insight in this matter so that I don't loose files more important than some randomly taken pics.

I downloaded the leaked google music app from ICS, and it works great.
My only caveat is that when I choose to make something available offline, it goes straight to my internal storage (Motorola Atrix).
I have a 32gb microSD card with a dedicated folder for music. Is there a way I can get the offline songs onto there?
I currently use PlayerPro from the market, and I wanted to use the Google cloud for "wirelessly syncing" my music.

I use doubletwist for listening to new music that is stored on my SD card. I use Google Music for streaming my favorite tracks that I have uploaded. The problem is Google Music automatically searches my SD card and displays all the music stored on my phone along with the artists/playlists/etc. that I have stored on the cloud, which makes it confusing when browsing the library. Can I prevent Google Music from searching and displaying what's on the SD card, but still allow doubletwist to see it?

I recently bought an SD card for my Samsung Galaxy Centura, mainly so I could store music on it without taking up much of the memory. The odd thing is, when i went to play some music using the music player, only about a quarter of the songs showed up. When I used Android File Manage to check the SD card, they were all there and playable. All the songs are MP3 format. how I can get the songs to work on the music player?

Got my Incredible a couple of weeks ago, and I'm very happy with my purchase. I'm an experienced smart phone user(4 generations of Treo's, Blackberry, Moto Droid), but I've encountered an issue that has me perplexed.I loaded about 20 mp3's in a folder I created on my SD card.I immediately checked the default music player and was happy to find that it found and played all 20 songs.I went back to use the music player a day or so later and found it listed all of the newly loaded songs twice.In looking at the details of the songs, I found that somehow a process on my Incredible copied all 20 songs to the internal memory! I was hoping to eventually load about 10GB of music to my SD card with the assumption that I could play those songs directly from the card.But until I figure this out, that obviously is not going to happen.I'm hoping the collective brilliance of this group will explain this unusual behavior and solve this problem.

what is the best way to transfer all the music from my Blackberry's SD card to the EVO? The pictures I am not so concerned about but it is just the songs. Do i take the old card out of the BB and insert in the EVO or is there a way to just transfer the songs?

I put in a 32GB sd card. I formatted it (FAT 32) and simply copied the files from my original that came with the phone. I had over 1500 music files, but while they are on the 32 GB card, only 100 are showing up in the music player. I deleted everything and recopied the original card

Is this normal for Android devices? When I store MP3s on my SD card, the phone won't play the music ("can't play the format" or something like that). When I store the exact same MP3s on the internal phone memory, the songs play.(choking)

Kind of a strange issue, and I'm not sure if this is an Evo issue, android issue, or if I have a weird SD card. On my SD card, when I put my music on, it takes up 5GB, but it doesn't take up nearly as much space on my iPod Touch? Is this due to the way iTunes pulls songs from CDs (where most of my music comes from)? Or am I doing something wrong?

I am using Double Twist and it seems the music I drag and drop onto my Hero are being save to the internal memory and not the SD card. How do you get them on the SD card?

I've changed my 4GB card for a 32GB one, and now everything works except playing music. Seeing as that was the main reason for getting the bigger card, I'm a little disappointed.I use a Mac, and copied a load of MP3 files onto the new card while mounting the phone as a USB drive, the same way I did for the original card. I've tried the built in Music app as well as MixZing and MoodAgent, but none of them are able to open the files, which I can see with Astro.I've tried reformatting the card (using the phone) which has made no difference.

How are you guys syncing your music for your phone?I tried doubleTwist but it autoloads every picture and video and music file on my computer onto the program and I only want a selected few. Am I doing something wrong? I need something like iTunes where I can drag my computer files and put them onto iTunes-->Phone.I am currently creating folders in my sd drive for music. I'm glad it can read different folders and files inside them! But there has to be an easier solution..

Worked great for a while, got all my songs and other media loaded up and my phone went on the fritz. I was able to exchange the phone and I've reloaded my apps and gotten my contacts all back in play. Now I've tried to download my music onto my SD card and it's telling me the SD card is unavailable. Any ideas on what's going on here? I would like to re-format and start over again but that doesn't seem to be an option on my phone.

I'm getting my new lg mytouch in a couple days and i'd like to have some music to listen to. I know how to create folders, etc., but i have a question. In all the guides i looked up, people said to use a usb cable and "mount" the device, then transfer the music. My computer has a microSD card slot built in, so I can put the memory card right in the computer and transfer files to it. Will this work to listen to music?

Scenario:
Phone: HTC Incredible still ten days from my hands.
Microittybitty SD card: came in today's mail.
Computer OS: Vista
Music: On iTunes.
Downloaded: doubleTwist
My general media skills: Sucky.
Ok, here goes. So I have this fear that I won't be able to get all my lovely music from my computer to my Incredible. This is not an irrational fear, as I am notoriously bad with any kind of file management. And device management. And getting devices to talk nicely to each other.
(You may heckle me all you want. Yes, I am in over my head here. This will be an adventure.)
If I could figure out how to copy my music files to my SD card, could I then just put the card in the phone and have the stock music player recognize them and all that? Or would I end up down some dead-end street by myself in the middle of the night, drunk and dazed?
I want the music to go to the SD card anyway, whether I wait for the phone to get here or not. I'm just trying to skip a step. Will it work?
