I've converted some books to epub and sent them to the Nook with Calibre, but I'd like them to show up in my library. Any idea where they should go? I don't want to have to store all my books on the Nook itself and would imagine that the ability to increase storage on an external card would allow for them to show up in the library.
Thanks!
I use adobe digital editions and drag them to the root of my memory card. then I add them to the favorites shelf in my library.
Mine are in sdcard/my files/books and they show up in the library.
What I have found is that if the files get to the SD card via a network download do not show up 100% in the library. You can select them from my files, read them, but can not place them on a shelf nor will your place be saved until the nook indexes the SD Card.
I am not entirely sure what causes this to happen but you can force it to happen 1 of 2 ways: 1) Reboot, 2) Take the SD Card out and put it back in.

Don't feel too bad. I have similar problems with BlackBerries. Besides new files, they also don't like updating the media library after you've deleted files either.
Thanks! Copying them from the folder that's automatically created for them, at the root of the SD Card, to the Books folder in My Files, worked. I was even able to keep them in the "author" folders and they still showed up as individual books in my Library, which is pretty cool.

Hey everybody,
im wondering if there is a possibility to get the buildin mp3-player indexing my mp3 files on my external sd as well.
Until now the buildin mp3-player is only indexing the files that are on the internal sdcard, but not any of my files on my external sdcard. Do you have the same problem? or ist it a folder problem?
Thx in advance!
I created a folder on the External SD called Media, then within it a folder called Music, put All my MP3 in it and the media player sees them all just fine.
It should index your sd card.
Can you access the files via the explorer?
Check if its in there correctly.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
it is working out of the box for me
i dumped all my movies and mp3 files into the EXTERNAL SD card and the build in Samsung Music Player plays it just fine.
the only annoying thing is that it needed you to select which songs/album/artist to play.
so after spending a few hours finding another App, i ended up with this "Player" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081) App, you just select the folders you want to play, and it plays everything inside them all
so... very curois. i created a folderstructure like this sdcard\sd\media\Album1, album2, album3.
The buildin Media player is not indexing them.. so i opened my file explorer and navigated to sdcard\sd\media\Album1 and clicked song1. The buildIn Media Player is playing it.
After that i installed the "Player" from Allgamers hint. when i select a folder and want to play the songs within it says that the playlist is empty, sam problem if i only mark 1 mp3-file. "The playlist is empty"
So the only way to play my files on the external sd is to click them, title per title... Very strange. Is that a problem of the indexer? or my sd?
My Phone: XWJM7, rooted an OCLF
Thx for all your fast answers!
So i think my problem is solved!
Because of your hints i reformated my external sd with my phone, and now it works with no problems. All files are indexed, no matter what folder they are saved in!
Thank u all for tipps and hints!
The SDCard shows fine in Win7. I loaded some books and music onto it, then disconnected it and went to set up WinAmp. No problem, music played fine (such as it is on the teerrible speakers).
I had loaded a bunch of books at the same time, and wanted to read one. But I can't find it. The "Books" directory is empty. And so is the "Music" one. The directory where I put 5 gigs of music, music that is playing via winamp as I search, is empty.
Any idea's?
Update. The SDCard directory structure doesn't show correctly. I created 2 directories, called Muzic and Bookz (to make sure I recognized them) on the SDCard through Win7 while the Nook was hooked to the computer. I had to turn off USB debugging to get the Nook drives to show in Win7. After they were showing, I made the 2 new directories and populated them. I then ejected the 2 drives through Win7 and opened Root Explorer on the Nook. Neither of those 2 directories were there. Also does not show from the generic File Explorer.
The music still plays through WinAmp!
Files are viewable via Win7 while connecting via B&N data cable.
Solved? The actual SDCard is listed as "emmc" and is mounted as a regular directory on the internal Nook memory structure. The SDCard is actually a partition of the main card. Weird.
I have the P880G (apparently a Canadian AWS/Band IV variant), and I store my music files on my external SD card. Being in Canada, I can't use Google's cloud music service, but the Google Play Music app is still pretty darn good for playing local music files.
The trouble is, every time the external SD is remounted (such as when the phone reboots), my playlists and "thumbs up" list are wiped. The playlists are still shown in the list of playlists, but they're all empty with 0 songs.
Before this phone I had the Nexus S, using only internal storage, so this wasn't an issue, except that there was barely room for the music files I wanted to have with me. I'd really like to use the external SD now that it's an option.
From searching around xda, the closest I could find to this issue was a problem with having the cloud-based music sync to the external SD (it apparently goes to internal storage by default). A solution is posted here, and I tried that on my phone, but it didn't solve my particular issue.
So does anyone have any insight or experience with this?

Would love to know if anyone has any resolve for this. Having the same issue on my GS3 running CM10.1.
Thanks.
Well, sorry to say I never found a fix, but my solution was to sign up for Google Play Music's cloud service in a roundabout manner. So now my playlists are synced and never get deleted from the phone.
A workaround is better than constantly re-adding songs. Thanks!
Same problem
I'm having the same problem with my playlists being wiped. I didn't know what was causing it until I read this post.
When I was using V20A firmware until last week, I discovered that LG 4x's media scanner, at every boot, deleted all .M3U files on SD card. To solve this issue, I was obliged to disable the integrated media scanner (using an app with root grants) and eventually copying all .M3U files from a unscanned folder to main music folder on SD card.
The a/m issue was not present in all previous V1xx firmwares.

What app did you use to disable the media scanner?

Rescan Media ROOT ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot ).
All media files got deleted on both internal and external sd card. Other files seems safe though.
If I open my gallery app no items are displayed. I can't really say that the phone got formatted I think its more like the phone's media scanner deleted all my media files. The only ones left are my manga images which was not deleted. My best guess is that it was inside a ".nomedia" folder. All the folders where my media deleted were, are retained.
Simply put, all files that were identified by the mediascanner were deleted. .jpg, gif, png, mkv, mp4. The only once save where the media files under ".nomedia" folders.
Any way to recover this files? Seached everywhere but no issue same as mine. Thanks!
Side question. Might be related to my problem:
What is the "storage" folder for? Can be found when plugged on pc under Internal Storage->"storage"
The files appear to be demos and trailers. All I am using the Gear for is my own movies and perhaps some games.
I have 8GB free on my card, so would rather just put a few movies on it and swap out as I watch them rather than load all this stuff on it.
Though have a 128gb card, it is already loaded with my music, pictures, home vids and a bunch of emulator roms.
Just follow the directory structure for thr oculus folder and put the porn in the my videos folder.
The SD card contents are not required. If you want the content you can copy it to your other card. I did this and it worked fine. If you don't care about having the videos and images and such that are included, then you don't have to move anything over and it will still work fine.

Nah, my wife would see the smile on my face and bust me
I figured it out. Ended up getting rid of almost all of it.
Added: Almost all of it is not needed unless you want the demos and trailers.
