My Music Won't Appear on my OnePlus One On my OnePlus One, which is currently running Android version 5.1.1 and Cyanogen OS version 12.1, isn't finding music on my device. I got the music onto my phone with my Chromebook, a HP 14, and simply moving the files to my phones "Music" folder. Once disconnected from my laptop, the music won't appear in the "Play Music" app. I know the files are on my phone, since they appear when I look in my file manager.

I've tried hitting the "refresh" button on both the music app and file manager, in addition to clearing the cache on both the applications. I've also rebooted my phone numerous times, and tried using a SD re-scanner with no avail. 

This problem has happened on my phone before, and I solved it by clearing all the music data and putting it all back on my device. Still, I would really prefer not to do this, since it is kind of a pain.

Thank you so much!
An Android Central thread discusses this issue and has several things to try:


Force stop Google Play Music and clear its data before reopening it. This may lose some data such as playlists but hopefully not the music itself.
Uninstall and reinstall all the updates to Google Play Music.
Ensure that the folder that the music is stored in or any parent folders don't have .nomedia files in them. You may need to enable hidden files in your file manager to see these files.


Unfortunately, some of these solutions seem temporary but it may be worth a try.
