Hey Everyone,
Been looking around on the Android Forums for a while and not been able to find a similar problem; was hoping someone out there could help.
Simply put, the Music Players in my Galaxy S won't find most of the music files that I've loaded onto the Internal SD Card. It doesn't seem to be related to the file types; both the files it has found and those it hasn't contain a mix of mp3s and m4as.
If I bring them up manually in file manager, the files will play in all three of the music players I have installed (Winamp, DoubleTwist and default Music Player), but the artists do not appear up in the artist list of the player (same for albums etc...). I can only play most of the tracks one at a time, by selecting them in their folder.
I've loaded the files onto the Galaxy S by syncing; first with Winamp, then with DoubleTwist, as I wanted to use the iTunes playlist I used to use for my iPod. Oddly, I had the same problem of the players not finding certain artists, but it was different artists for the two syncs. Syncing with Winamp gave abut 1/10 of the artists, whereas syncing with DoubleTwist has put 12 songs (out of over a thousand) into the media players.
Most of my problem is that I'm completely new to the Android format; I don't even know where to start. I can't seem to find a function in any of the players that will scan the phone for music, as you get on a PC. Is there a similar, central function on the Galaxy S?
Hope someone can help. Thank you in advance!
Jack
