Try a Google search on sound problems. I found some discussion on Nvidia's forum.

And I'm just asking how. No, I can't simply plug in a USB stick. My USB port is taken up by the external 14 TB drive which is mounted and working to record TV shows from my HDHomerun.
JRiver won't even import a file I copied from the external drive to the internal storage. It sees those files, it just won't import them. Kodi sees all these files and plays them just fine. Other than JRiver for Android, my NVIDIA Shield is working great. So I'm not sure why you assume this problem is my Shield. Basic troubleshooting points to JRiver for Android not working properly. Please explain why my reasoning is faulty?
BTW, I can navigate my Shield's storage by connecting over my network because I have enabled 'Transfer files over local network'. So from my laptop, I can use Windows Explorer to manipulate all of the files.

I'm sorry but I don't know what the problem is. I'm just trying to narrow down the possibilities. Is it a problem associated with reading the drive or with playback or ... ?
You said it worked before. What changed?
Importing 14TB of files would take a while.

Do they play on Windows? What happens if you play them from there to the Shield, using DLNA?

What changed? I don't know. I'm guessing it was an update to the app. It was working fine about a week ago. Normally, I have to load the external library that's running on my PC. That takes a little while but when it's finished, I was able to play everything from that (main) library. Now it doesn't. It won't load libraries or import audio files. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. Still won't work.
No, I can read the drive with other apps like Kodi or the HDHomerun player (which reads and writes recordings to this external drive).
It's a 14 TB drive. I'm not importing that much. From my laptop, using Windows Explorer, I copied a couple of album folders over the network to my Shield.
Anyhow, thanks for responding.

Using Windows Explorer on my laptop with \\Shield open, I can play any of the audio files over the network with MC or Windows Media Player.
