It does not show up on MM folder search though the attached SD card does. I can browse the disk from the file browser, choose the track and ask mediamonkey to play it - that works just fine but is not the point. I want MM to scan the HDD like my PC version does. . I also have xbmc installed and this reads the disk just fine though its music cataloging sucks. Can this issue get fixed please?

Loaded Poweramp last night. It was scanning in the data before I even figured out how to open settings. No prob. Of course, there's no intrinsic tagging for WAV files. So I now have an unknown album with 6500 genreless tracks. The other 6000 FLACS are properly tagged.

I'm not sure that MMA would do any different, if it worked. My hope for MMA when it came out was that it would be a relatively simple case of transferring the MM.db to android, redirecting the path to external HDD, and playlists and tagging etc would be the same as on my music server. To me syncing is useless as I'm dealing with 500 Gb of data. Part of MM reputation is it's ability to handle huge libraries, yet this android app seems more focused on syncing a handful of songs to your Iphone. If this app does not support transference of its Windows counterpart, there's no benefit to it for me.

I can't get MMA Pro to read the music files on my HDD. The drive is mounted and displays properly through /My Files. I can play any one album on MMA through /My Files as well. Options are checked for internal sd card and extstorage. Library shows sd card files but not HDD. Rescanning does nothing. Tried 2 HDD's - no luck.

System is : Rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1, 4.0.4 Android, OTG cable to USB, 500Gb HDD (full) in FLAC and WAV, Superuser status granted to Paragon to allow NTFS recognition.
Any ideas?
Cheers, phendriks

So build 214 now recognizes the USB connected HD, great.

The next issue that I now encounter is that MMA does not add the music files that are stored on the HD into the music library.
The only way I have found to play the music on the HD is to use the "Folders" option on the start page and then click myself to each individual music file. Pressing any other option like for example "Albums" generates a null/empty content. This despite having used the option "Choose library folders" under "options" and there of course included the music folders that are on the HD.
I'm just guessing now, but there might be a link between this problem and the choice of library folders.
There is a list of 3 "SD cards" to choose from (the MINIX have an internal and an external SD card), the 2 SD cards and the HD.
In the case of the SD cards, it is possible to click down into the folder structure to select a folder further down in the tree. In the case of the "SD card" HD, only the top level is selectable which is incorrect because what comes up is the volume name rather than the folder structure and it is not possible to click down into its folder structure.

Hi.
I have done it once if you look at my reply to Bhiefer the 24/12.
I'll do it again. The log id is: Z7W27W3QK9
I would imagine that this problem shouldn't be that difficult to recreate since it is persistent and other people also report that they have found the same problem.

Hi. Thank you for your logs. But I need more help. Because of some connection error, I didn't receive first log. In second log, MMA was unfortunately running for long time on your device without need of refresh of storage settings. It was very unlikely but it can happen . To be sure that I will see what I need, please send logs once again by following these steps:

1. unplug USB HDD
2. restart device
3. start MMA
4. plug in USB HDD
5. send logs in Options-> Send logs

Thank you!
