Yep, I had to uninstall and reinstall it, and now it picks up my music on my SD card! YAY!

I have a Galaxy J5 2017. It is only picking up my ringtones (on my internal storage) - which is annoying. Grrhh.
I followed your advice and uninstalled, restarted the phone, and re-installed v24.0.16.
After an hour;
It still doesn't see the mp3s and flacs on my SDCard.
Any ideas please....

How long are you leaving JRiver for Android open? I found I had to leave the phone on and the app actively running for about an hour for it to import all my files on my phone.

Hello Awesome Donkey, After an hour; It still doesn't see the mp3s and flacs on my SDCard.

In fact its been up and running all morning today.
Just to test, I copied a few Hendrix tracks onto the int storage and it found them pretty quick.
But my precious music collection (pbthal sourced!) remains unfound, grrhh.

I saw something similar.  Files didn't show up right away.

Huh, that's odd. Do you know the path that your SD card is mapped to internally? Maybe it's something different than MC expects for external storage?

my precious music collection (pbthal sourced!)

Good stuff indeed.

Try putting a file in the Music folder on the microSD.

[MusicBringer]

Try putting a file in the Music folder on the microSD.

Hooray that Works. I renamed my folder Music and my files were found readily

So THE next thing, the MUST HAVE, is the ability to play my precious PlayLists. Please.
I hope I will be able to use BOTH m3u's and m3u8.

[JimH]

Playlists should work now.

[MusicBringer]

That's good news.
How does JRiver for Android v25.0.16 see my preprepared .m3u Playlists?

v25.0.16 sees my music library. Hooray.
In the same Music folder are my precious Playlists (in a folder called m3u) - it fails to find any of them Grrhh.

[JimH]

Try putting them in the Playlists folder.  It might work.

[MusicBringer]

It might work.

It might not.

I have copied all my precious Playlists (m3u's) into folder(s) called Playlists.
There is one copy IN the Music Folder on the SDCard.
There is another in the Root of the SDCard.
A third is on the device drive.
JR4A finds the music flacs in the Music Folder on the SDCard, yet fails to display the Playlists - no matter where they are located.

I will admit the bare names of the playlists can be seen in a well spread out grid in "Imported Playlists", just the name, no ext, no icon, very sparse looking - and fail to respond.

Come on this has got to work, I am happy to help.

[JimH]

Could you try an mpl playlist? 

[MusicBringer]

Sorry to say its made no difference.
I put a mpl in the device Playlists folder.
And a copy in the SDCard Playlists folder.

Both fail to show - let me double check in case its now found it.....

If you're seeing the playlists, but they're empty, it's importing the playlist but it can't find the files in the playlist. The file paths in the playlist probably need to be changed.

[MusicBringer]

That's a good thought BradATIMA.
These same playlists are also used by other music players on the device, without a problem.
The file path in the playlist is neutral.

When we say I can see them, it is just a bare name, no extension, no icon, no nothing.

Brad, where is JR4A looking for the Playlists, ha, I expect you will say in the folder called Playlists.
I have one copy on the device internal storage, another on the SDCard next to my Music folder.

[BradATIMA]

JRiver for Android will look for playlists in any folder named 'Playlists'. It will also look in any folder it's trying to import from, such as 'Music' or 'Media'.

If the playlist is using file paths that are relative to the playlist itself, moving the playlist will could make the paths wrong. The same goes for moving the music files. Renaming the folder that the music files were in could make the file paths in the playlists wrong.
