Hi all

I have an lg g3 and put a load of music onto an sd card earlier. However now it's only seeing 12 albums not the 70 i loaded

They are not showing in file manager but if i take the card out And check on a pc all the albums are there

Any ideas what the issue is and how i can get my music back!

Thanks

    Is your music player set to look for music in all folders or only in specific folders?

    Lost dir is where damaged / corrupt files are placed .
    Usually after a read/ write error or pulling the USB to quickly .
