Yeah, bummer. I usually load up my SD card with music and play it from my phone, but in KitKat the music player won't "see" a file it didn't create. I did find a workaround: X-plore will show the path to the folder, and Poweramp player can be directed to the folder, as can DoubleTwist player.

My HTC One M8 also offers an option to store movies and photos on the SD card. I use it, SD cards are cheap.

Thank heavens for my 64GB iPhone where the storage is usable, secure and I don't have to think about it!

The complaint with KitKat's use of the SD card isn't that the cards are now less functional than storage in iOS; it's that they used to be more useful than iOS, and now they are not. An Android phone with 32GB internal and 64GB on SD still has 96GB of storage. An Android user can put a 128GB SD card in her phone, load it up with movies from Google Play or Amazon, and still have all the internal storage available.

The only difference is that it doesn't work the way it used to. But it still works.
