   I am assuming it was done that way because there might be some lag if music was sourced from the microsSD whereas there wouldn't be any lag when sourced from the internal storage, an approach adopted phones when the CPU is not that powerful and has already got to carrying other items in its main basket.

   So what you are saying the Nokia 8110 cant handle the music bitrate?? Altought the Nokia 3310 can !!!. If so it really sounds very weird or it must be a bug.

  I agree. It must be a bug. Can you try another sd card? How about putting the sd card in. Format it in the phone. Then put your music into the card. Please advise how you get on

  I have tried the micro sd card without a problem. I opend the music app and select dected files.

  
  

   Try to format it on the nokia and then copy the music to the sd card. And maybe tried putting in a folder call "music" see if that help. 

  
  

  Also how much GB card is it?

  
  

  Beacuse on the box it stated max 32 GB but on the website 64 GB. 

  
  

  Also if you got 64GB it could be formatted as exfat or NTFS, it could be not reading it right.

  
  

  If this solved your problem post it back.

  You comment "I have tried the micro sd card without a problem. I opened the music app and select detected files." clearly shows that the problem of this case is not the handphone nor  OS but the mirco SD card being used.

  
  

  Well done!

   Yup, I can back this up: my 64GB card was not recognized in the phone.

   I too had the same problem. Using V12 OS.

  If, under the storage settings you scroll down you can change the default media position from internal to external.

  If you do this, the music app then sees the music files.

  I fixed the problem by formatting the microSD card using the phone. Once format is done copy back music files to the microSD card. The phone is now able to detect the music files.

  Enoughly on the same topic (I hope), I am trying to format my microSD HC 32 GB from the 8110. Nokia website says to go on Settings->Device->Storage->More->Format.

  
  

  My problem is that either after a formating on my macbookair on FAT32, either on exFAT, my card is never recognized... Thus I can not of course read any music.

  
  

  Can anybody relate ?

  
  

  Cheers !

  Once I format the microSD card using the phone it can now detect music files that are copied to the card. THe problem now is that if I remove the card and let my computer read it then it will not detect the music files stored. I tried to format the card using the computer (FAT32) then copy music to it. The computer can read it. The problem now is that when the card is placed back to the phone the music app cannt detect the music files.

  
  

  Does this man that I have to get a dedicated microSD card for the phone alone?

  I've got the same problem.  The card works OK because I used it to transfer contacts across.  I've made sure that the media files are MP3.  I've put some in the root directory of the card in case the phone doesn't understand directories.  If I look in the storage settings it shows 3GB of Music, but when I go to the player it says that there are no media files.  

  
  

  Any help would be gratefully received.

  
  

  Amy.

   I've fixed mine, but I'm not sure how.  Here's what I did.

  
  

  1- format the card on the phone

  2 - put one MP3 file on the card - not in a directory.

  3  - put card in phone and the phone found the media.

  4 - put the rest of the media files on the card

  5 - put the card back in the phone.

  
  

  The phone found the media, but there's still a bug where sometimes it says it can't find it.

  
  

  Note that I had to do steps 1 to 5 three times before it worked.

  Thanks, my solution is similar to yours:
  
  

  1- format the card on the phone

  2- send a music file via Bluetooth
  
  3 - start music app, let it find the file
  
  4- take out the card, put in a computer, navigate where it saved the files sent via bt
  
  6- copy all music to that folder
  
  7- put it back to phone and wait... it is mounting very slowly

  From the above, a clue to this issue is probably the make  of the microSD card used. For comparison, I use a 8GB SanDisk. The Nokia vendor helped insert it immediately upon buying it. There was no need to format the card. All I did after that was simply attached a cable from the handphone to the desktop computer, create among others, a "Music" folder, copy and paste several .mp3 files from the computer into that folder and every song can be played.

  I managed to get a 64GB SD card (Samsung EVO+) to work by splitting it into two separate volumes (e.g. partitions) of 32GB. The phone only detects one of them. Somehow it did not detect my 8GB. Once the phone detects an SD card, it will show a pop-up, and it will list the SD card as a separate storage device under settings -> storage -> media (the formatting option is at the bottom if the SD card is detected)

  The same problem here, I have 3 sd cards, 16 GB class 10.16 GB standard, and 2 GB standard, the same three can not detect songs, with the copy method from PC, for example: the phone can only detect 3 out of 10 the song was random sometimes,
  One more problem is not only on external storage, I copy 1 song in mp3 format with a duration of about 1 hour, so it is played to save the song in both storage, the question is that the two problems occur because of the OS or specifications of the phone? because there is no problem with the SD card, I tried my old phone based on Symbian to play the song no problem, besides the WhatsApp application that has been waiting for a lot from the users of this phone, I think it is necessary to add an equalizer application

  i am from Saudi Arabia and i'm really disappointed with this phone,. i just bought it yesterday and the reason why i get this is because of the good reviews from the users.
  3310 is better than this unit at least no expectations in 3310 compare to this.
  -there is no update,
  -no downloadable social applications.
  -cannot read my MP3 musics
  -the keypad is hard, it will give you calluses
  -not price worthy
  -cannot edit shortcuts
  -left/right/up/down is useless when on Home screen wish they can edit too as shortcut

  I also encountered this problemI but I was able to make a 128 gig micro sd card work and was able to make the music work. I believe the size of the micro SD card is not the problem or limitation of the phone because it was able to properly recognize the storage and was able to see all the songs the issue is more on the file format of the storage which should be FAT32 and you should let the Nokia software do the formatting hence the capacity of the Nokia 8110 4G is more than 128 gig. The trick is you will use a third party Windows app named  Fat32 Format in order to make micro SD cards to fat32 then reformat it again using the phone than make a music folder and put all your mp3's there. There will be a slight delay in detection but surely it will recognize the mp3 files. I hope it helps.

  BTW I'm  using Samsung 128 gig EVO micro SD works flawlessly. It was a headache at first but now it works like a charm. All 119 gig of formatted space properly detected.

  The only problem that I see in this Phone's music software is the inability to create music playlist which is a basic feature of every MP3 player. I hope HMD global recognize this and fix it in the next software update. I'm in version 16 by the way.
