Play music from SD card on Android
- Your Android music is usually recognized directly in the music player. It doesn't matter whether the music is on the internal memory or on the SD card.
- If there are problems, the cause is usually the wrong location. Connect the SD card to a computer and open it.
- The folder with the music files must have the name "Music". The folder is either in the main directory or in the "Android" subfolder.

- If the SD card was previously used in another cell phone, formatting the SD card can help. Then Android should recognize the music folder. Make a backup of all important files beforehand.
- If the songs are in an incompatible format, Android cannot play the music either. If it is not a common format, just convert the songs to MP3 format. Numerous free tools such as the Freemake Audio Converter will help you with this.
