I am running /e/OS 0.9-2020070161107 on my Fairphone 3.
The stock /e/OS Music app is not detecting my music (mostly MP3 files, but also some AAC and OGG) stored in a “music” folder on my external SD card. In the past, when I used LineageOS on my Fairphone 2, the stock Music app can detect the same files on the same SD card. The /e/OS stock Camera app and the Simple Gallery app can also detect images stored on this SD card so I don’t think it’s an issue of apps not having access to the SD card. Oh and VLC can detect and play those music files with no problem
What might be causing this problem and how do I fix it?
Well curl my whiskers and paint them green! I uninstalled a bunch of rarely used apps and the music app is working again. I have no idea if any particular app was responsible.
Strange! Unfortunately I don’t want to uninstall any of my apps just for “fixing” the stock Music app. Oh well.
