• What type of files? Mp3 or...

Samsung removed support for wma files. Try poweramp from playstore plays everthing.

@dianp Which file types do you have a problem with?

Samsung Music  natively supports these file types:  mp3, m4a, mp4, 3gp, 3ga, ogg, oga, aac, and flac.

See some information here https://www.samsung.com/Files on Samsung Phone Not Recognised 

However a number of apps  such as Poweramp will play a wider variety, VLC for instance is another option.  A review of other apps here https://www.androidauthority.com/best-music-player-apps-for-android

VLC on my S23 Ultra solved this.

All of my albums in wma format ( and backed up on my PC and bought on itunes were inop on Samsung Music.

C'mon Samsung, this is a major oversight!  MIght have made me second guess my purchase if I had known - and would be BIG TIME unhappy if VLC had not been available!!

Did you resolve this please? What is VLC? I've just purchased a Tab A9 and it won't let me play any of the tunes I had on my A8 when I tried to transfer them 😬

Why do they do this, SAMSUNG you need to fix your apps for us loyal fans of your products. I liked the SAMSUNG music app as it was simple easy to use. Now we have to download free apps that are full of Ads.

Does vlc have ads? My s20fe played wma files but my new 'advanced intelligence' s24ultra won't
