Help Adding music to SD card without saving to phone first?

[butterflykym]

Bought a new HTC one m8 yesterday, bought a nice new shiny 128gb sandisk SD card.

I mounted the sd card to computer, created a music folder, added 10gb music into it, unmounted. Mounted into phone... "no music found"

What am I doing wrong? I had no issue with my two previous HTC phones. What is the correct file path? Can they be in folders? Please advise. I would rather not root if possible. Thank you!

Additional notes: I had sent them to my phone first, then tried moving them all to my SD card, but this was ridiculously slow. I would rather place them directly onto the sd card.

10gb is a lot, to wait until its all moved into the SD card. Instead of putting these music files in a "created folder", could you try to locate the folder where the music that play are located or inside another folder, just not a new one.Then copy-paste these new ones in there.
You should also check these 10gb file with your anti-virus to see whether there are any malwares or corrupted files.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. After two hours of trawling the net the fix was actually much simpler (only found and tested within the last 10 minutes). It is as simple as reformatting the sd card from my phone and not laptop. That was it! Can't believe it really was that easy and it had something to do with kitkat and its security measures? I got lost in all the details. But thank you once again for answering so quickly!
