This app forces the Android Media Scanner to run.
I do this whenever I see duplicates in the music list, or when I manually add and media to the device over USB.
It works with the newer phones including 4.0 ICS/Ice Cream Sandwich and 4.1 JB/Jelly bean, and now 4.2.
To test the media scanner or to clean out the media cache:
Go to settings.
Click All Applications tab.
Click Media Storage.
Click Clear Data.
Click OK.
Now run Force Media Scanner and click the Scan button.
It will take a long time the first time you do this, as it has to read and process each video, and music file on the device.
Afterwards, runs will be much faster, and it's just updating the media store.
It's new, so if you have any issues, please email me.

V3> Looks like media scanning on 4.2 doesn't work now that the insertion event is ignored. Updates to support external SDCards on 4.2. Yay! Works now for me!

For some reason my phone stopped indexing media files after the last time I had to reset it. Subsequent resets didn't help. This app got it kickstarted.

Works perfectly for me and ensured all the ringtones & notification tones I've added or modified become available for selection from the systems list again when personalising my phone. I prefer to keep the app running in the foreground so I can see the s

No change to music player after. Never said anything bad about an app but this doesn't work. For people with problems with music not showing use ID3Fixer. Solved all my problems. Just fix your music with UTF-8 (Unicode) and your done.
