I'm guessing it's either a bug or there's some hidden setting that is preventing this. I've contacted the Samsung UK help desk but they are taking an age to get back to me.

OK, the mystery deepens. I have just taken a photo and saved it to the SD card. And there it is, visible in the gallery. Obviously everything is working as it should but, for some unknown reason, not my music tracks.

It is a Sandisk 64 Gb card. The one that came from my previous Galaxy Ace was a Sandisk 32 Gb card. There is a message on the pull-down from my start-up screen that says 'SD Card. Tap here to transfer media files'. When tapped this takes me to the files on the SD card where I can find my music files. The problem is that none of the music players can see them.
In my earlier reply to BenMcr I noted that photos saved to the SD card are all present and correct. It's all a mystery to me.

Are the music files in regular mp3 format?
Have you tried other music players like, Musicolet?
