Rhythmbox can't find music on my android device

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – Rhythmbox actually shows my smartphone on the devices list but it's unable to find any music on it, I installed mtp and mtpfs and also enabled the mtp plugin in Rhythmbox. I also added a .is_audio_player file with this content: audio_folders=Music/ folder_depth=2 output_formats=audio/mpeg But no luck, the device is actually mounted fine and I'm able to browse through the files (using gphoto2) but if I try to play the flies directly through the device they won't play either. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance! EDIT: BTW I'm using arch linux. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Rhythmbox can't find music on my android device

I have set Rhythmbox as my default music player through System Settings > Details, but when I browse and play music from the Unity dash, Banshee opens up and plays the music. How can I have Rhythmbox take care of this job?

Music is a way of life for a lot of people, and their music collections often reflect that to a massive degree. We all enjoy our music, and should be able to keep tabs with what music we have.

I stopped using rhythmbox years ago because I thought banshee was better, now I would say as far as the 2 players go rhythmbox seems to be much less buggy, (no this isn't a which player is better thread so lets not go there) anyway I use bash scripts to control banshee after login, to get it to start in the background and play music automatically, I want to switch to rhythmbox but can't seem to fi

i run ubuntu 11.10 with gnome-shell 3.2 on a mbp as a 3rd partition. my music folder is stored in snow leopard which is from the linux perspective this dir:

/media/hdd\ 10.6/Users/Username/Music/

to browse my mac partition(s) from within linux i need root access.

I have recently purchased the new Walkman Z from Sony. I can transfer music by mounting it as a drive, but I would prefer to use Rhythmbox to do so. My other Android devices and MP3 players from the past have always just shown up without any tweaking.

Using Nautilus to transfer the files is possible but for some reason Nautilus still makes a trash folder on removable drives.

Does anyone else have a problem with getting their N4 to see music that you have added manually to the device? In google music or amazonplayer that i use both say i have no music on the device when i have. Oddly, i can play it via the file manager but only as a clip rather than through the player applications themselves with all their functionality.

It says:

"Plug in your PSP, iPod, MP3 player and use Rhythmbox to download, store, buy and play music.

Share playlists with your friends.

Access Last.fm directly through Rhythmbox to stream your favourite music.

Stream and play video from YouTube, BBC and others."

Rhythmbox, an integrated music management application, originally inspired by Apple's iTunes and designed to work well under the GNOME desktop environment, is now at version 2.98.

Rhythmbox 2.98 brings us a little closer to the 3.x branch, but the suspense continues as the developers release another update in the 2.x branch.

Hi,

I'm fairly new with the S3, Google Play and Android in general. I purchased an album via the Play store and am using Google Play Music to play it. I have downloaded it to my device using the 'Keep on Device' option but am not able to find the files in the phone in the sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music folder.
