So an update (just in case other people are having the same problem as I am with AnkiDroid)–it looks like my .media folders are being created, but none of the media itself is being carried over to my phone. I ended up having to manually copy all my audio/visual files and drop it into the folders on my SD card. Most of the cards now work with audio! However there are a few that are still having issues. It’s a big improvement from yesterday.

I know this is kind of an old-ish post, but I am also having this problem.

I keep my Anki files organized in my public Dropbox folder. I go between two computers and an Android phone, all using Anki.

I already went through the steps detailed here on the Anki site to make it compatible with Dropbox, so that’s not a problem. When I import a new deck into an existing deck, the cards themselves carry over, but the media does not. I manually copy and paste the audio files into correct “DecknameHere.media” folder each time. My Anki file (“DecknameHere.anki”) is inside the same folder as the “DecknameHere.media” folder.

However when I am reviewing my cards, my audio does not play back (except on my hiragana deck… which is a little peculiar, but that deck never had anything new imported into it). I am starting to find myself mispronouncing words because I don’t have the audio to help me out, and since I’m still really new I don’t want to put myself at an early disadvantage!
