Hi @MadMe86!! I had the same issue as you, media app didn't showed music from my encrypted sd card, but the same was happening with Gallery app: it didn't showed images. I used tracker index to solve it:

tracker index -f /run/media/nemo/<card_name>/*

To encrypt music is dangerous except if you have music that nobody else has. It is a basic rule NEVER encrypt something that everybody could get her hands on. If you have a Madona song encrypted and with whatever means the attacker knows that or guesses it, then when you know what is the result of the decryption is, then is just a matter of time to get the encryption keys. Cracking Enigma is a good example of this. the allied knew that: - A encryption rule was that character could never have the same encrypted result - A signal operator due to lazyness and inattention crypted twice exactly the same text with a missallignement in the coding wheels -> bletchey house discovered it and it was the door open for "easy" cracking. - The weather forecast for the nothern Atlantic where redacted on the basis of a kriegsmarine Handbook that felt in allied hands as they could save it from a sinking U-boot. Added to the fact that the forecast where allways made on the same coordinate quadrant system, it was an "easy" Game to get it. Turing helped also a bit :=)

So you've been warned: compress text before encrypting, if you have to relay text ( erratum data) put some additional recognisable rubbish in it or paraphrase it. It is basic!!!! and frankly encrypt music what is the use just wasting cpu-time
