Sometime when u booted up, your external card wasn't mounted. I can't find a solution other then performing a reboot.
Check under Settings -> SD card & phone storage, if your external card is available or unavailable.
It´s available 14,83 GB free ! Should the music files stores under music folder or just under external mem ? Must i transfer the files with LG suite IV or just drag/drop to external mem ?

Hmm it shouldn't matter where actually but I don't use Stock Music app so cannot confirm. I use PowerAMP. - my music files in ext sdcard.
If I remember correctly, I believe the stock music player only looks in the SD/media folder and all subfolders contained within. Can you locate the files using a file explorer program to verify they transfered correctly?
I think it doesn't matter which folder it is in. I have all my songs in a folder which I named "My Songs". And there's some more nested folders further down. They all gets recognised without any intervention from me. But the first scan took quite some time. Subsequent scans take only a couple of seconds.
Two ways media scanner will skip your folders.......
1. When your files in folder with folder name starting with "."
example, /.music <----- this folder will be skipped from scanning
2. When you have a ".nomedia" file inside a folder
I have solved it, thanks ! I am a noob, find out that _externalSD is not the real externalSD it is still on the phone, at last i find the 16gb external memory !!

touchXplorer lets you into the device, not sd due to secure format.
THIS is the closest thing i have found to access your SD card. I have tried and it works but its not the best as it relies on zune. so i can add office files, pics and music but thats it. anything else i add to the card does not show up from within the phone.
I have 2 Gb sd card, but in Win7 I can't see it, when I used touchXplorer.
Way?
Do anybody know why I cant transfer any mp3 to nexus s internal memory? I used Astro file manager , because want use some mp3 like ringtone melody, but my mda doesnt see it when it is saved on sd card. Any help or telephone must be unlocked for thi operation? THX
Pretty sure you need to be unlocked to access outside the sd card. You could try an app like ringdroid to create one of your mp3
Sent from the bowels of hell
does android support that file type natively, if it does on your SD card make folders media/ringtones or media /notifications
thx for help, second answer works

They are hidden to prevent you from being able to just copy the apks. Not sure where they are hidden but sure someone else will know more

Hi There,
I updated yesterday to KitKat (Commercial And Journalists version).
Since then I noticed that on the external storage Android creates folders such as Android/data, Android/obb and fills them up with several root folders for apps though they are not used. Within those root folders KitKat creates then a files, cache or files/cache folder which remains empty. In the obb section the root folder remains empty. Same is with DCIM which I don't need as I use internal storage for my photos.
Our XZ has enough internal storage which I use for all such things and I don't need to fill up my sd cards, which usually have media on it. If I use that card later in another device such as in my car I have that silly folders appearing...
Is there any chance to get rid of those empty directories and prevent Android doing so as it was no issue up to 4.3?
Thx for help!
Best Regards,
Andreas

Interesting idea... but it does not work. The app fc and only starts once I moved the obb part from external to internal.
If anyone has more ideas. (-:

App FC means the obb not found(sometimes the app say need to download bla bla...) So you should put them is internal memory.
If you installed any apps or games so Try delete all files and folders in android/data in your external card. After that if you see any of your apps is back as you installed them first time (means data wiped) so the apps data path is now in your external card
If you tried to put the OBB in the both external and internal and the app didnt worked so that means there is something wrong in your rom...

oh, it works if the obb is in internal memory... but not external. This was in reply to your idea.
If I delete all folders (and there are only folders but no files in it) the system recreates them by time...

Thats really strange problem but flash your rom or try another ftf that all what i can say now:cyclops:
Any chance that you may have found a fix for this in the past year? My i9100 does the exact same thing and I've scoured the web to try and fix it. Cyanogenmod 12 / 5.1.1 and I have completely the same problem, every app creates an empty folder under Android/data or Android/obb on my external sd. For no discernible reason I can see.
So,a problem my friend has on his i9000 antique .
First of all,hello everybody.
So,the thing is : He told me ,that recently he found he has much more internal memory free then on his SD card. So he decided to transfer all of his music to internal memory.
The thing is,not one of the music players recognise songs on his internal memory . He says that only poweramp recognises ,but he doesn't want it . The file explorer sees the files in internal memory thought. Conundrum it is .
Someone know whats the deal ? Thanks in advance guys .:fingers-crossed:

You should creat new folder name Music and move all songs to that folder. It work for me
