Why won't my Lumia 625 recognize music on my sd card?

Lumia 625 won't recognise music on sd card

I have an sd card in the phone, it used to work but then I formated it and put new music on it and now it doesn't recognise any of the files on it. It says that there are files there, It just doesn't show them in music.

Any help is appreciated.

Can you see the music on there in the files app?
In the Music app.. Check to see whether 'Show all music' is selected.

1)http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/files/762e837f-461d-4847-8399-3526f54fc25e
This file app.
2) Go to Music app.. Go to songs.
In top left there is text "Showing: All Music/On my phone/On my SD" Check whether its showing all music or not.
3) Chillax.. We'll sort it out.

every time after copying songs just connect the phone to pc and open the windowsphone app in pc.......if the app detects the music then it'll be available in ur music app

The music player is set to all. Also I cannot download file app. I have 6.2 GB of system data taking up space. I have almost no apps and no other media and yet have 3mb free

6.2 GB! Have you considered a hard reset?
