Music Player App Stopped Working

[MyPoorAndy]

Hello. I use Oto Player music app and after years of enjoyment from it, last night it stopped working. I had uploaded some music from my computer to my phone with a new playlist and everything seemed to be going normally until I went to download an album cover image for one of my playlists. After I downloaded the image, I noticed that all my playlists were no longer in the player and I got a strange error message that said "Playlist shared by other apps via Android's media storage framework." However, I don't even know what that means.

Also, I checked My Files app and my Google Files SD card app and most of my music files are no longer there. None of this makes sense and I was wondering if anyone has any idea about what is going on with this.

I've never heard of this particular music app, and have no idea what that error might be? But were the music files on the SD card or your device's internal storage. If the former, could be the SD card has become corrupt and unreadable?

I'm not familiar with the app either but was thinking it might need to be updated if it is still supported.

Hello, all. I fixed the problem by taking out the SD card and blowing on it a bit and then putting it back in and now everything is running normally. Also, thanks for all the feedback. 😊👍

Like all electronics you can have it safe with a cloth instead of spit, any amount of spit can ruin your SD card.
