Samsung music player.

Having transferred my mp3 music from my laptop to my A35 5G. Using Samsung music app. Many of the track's just skip through. Until a random unselected track starts playing. 

 I've tried loading to devices internal memory. And it's external SD card. Using a card reader & a wired connection. The only message displayed is, Failed to play track. Is this a format issue? Or possibly corrupt file's? 

[Robin999]

Could be both. Next time it skips a track, try to make a note of which one and check its format and location in storage. Are these music files contained within a separate folder?

[Teknafobe]

I have 9 folder's. Of which only 3 are playable. Thanks.

[Robin999]

Check their formats. What happens when you try to play one direct from the folder? If they still don't play and they are of a format that's compatible with Samsung Music player, then it's possible they became corrupted during the xfer. Try the xfer again (maybe use a different method) or re aquire them directly from the phone.
I tend to have all my tracks stored individually (no folders) in the same directory. Internal storage/Music

Could of been a copy issue with the card reader

[Teknafobe]

Apart from 3 folder's, they all skip. I'll try your suggestion.

If the originals are still on the laptop. I would try again depending on file size don't copy to many at one time as could crash

[Teknafobe]

Thanks. I did upload all the album file's in one go. I'll delete the file's that won't play. Then upload separately.

[Robin999]

Thanks. As said too, they may have become corrupted in the xfer. Try xfer again, maybe use a different method too.

@Teknafobe  yes check the affected files definitely are mp3's or another supported file format, though could be folder issue/corruption.  Due to changes in codec  support policy  WMA/WMV  codecs are no longer supported in new products from 2021 onwards.

Samsung Music  natively supports these file types:  mp3, m4a, mp4, 3gp, 3ga, ogg, oga, aac, and flac. some other Music players support a wider variety such as Poweramp and VLC.
