Forgive me if this is an obvious question, obviously im familiar with how to do all these things in actual windows, but being new to pocket pc windows im stuck with these kinda thing!
I've put my mp3s in a folder on my mini sd card. The standard view is the name of the mp3, then the date, then the size, in a list. Can i change them so it just displays the name and no other information, or so that it shows icon view rather than list view ?
Basically, the way you can in windows xp by clicking view/icons in any folder?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all just some more questions regarding windows mobile.
can i change the default folder that the phone goes to(currently my pictures on My device) when i go to view my pictures within the pictures app in media folder of spb panel? (not when using the media panel)
Is it possible to make it so beamed items are stored in memory card and not defaulted to my device?
I would also really like to know how you guys would recommend to set up your files on the storage card? e.g. would you recommend setting the folders up like they are in my documents as default on the device?
its just that everything seems geared towards storing media on the device itself. but obviously this isnt going to work out when i have alot of media
answers much appreciated, thanks
I messed up my album art in my SD card-based music folder on my Touch HD and have just sorted it out but I can't see an option to clear the previous album art stored somewhere on the phone - it still displays/cycles through the old album art.
Also is there a way to make the phone only display/play music files in a specified folder because it currently also plays the ringtone files also stored on my SD card.
I did do a search across the Blackstone threads but nothing came up with the search words I tried, hence the new thread.
Just a suggestion, try browsing the SD card in a PC while showing hidden files and folders; the old artwork might be hidden. I know Windows Media Player (desktop) does this with album art so if you drop a .jpg in the folder it might be overridden by the hidden one...

Thanks for the suggestion chaosdefinesorder, I found some hidden files on the SD card and deleted them but they must be on the phone somewhere because that didn't sort it out.
I suppose it's another Reset if I can't sort it out
*note to self - stop messing about with the phone so much*
Hi all, i want to copy some pictures over from my old phone, but where do i put them, if i put them in the same folder as the rest, the phone does not display them, and they all then get corrupted, i created a folder called pictures, but the phone still does not see them???
Weird?
Within photos and Videos you have to press "Album" twice and then you will see an overview of all the photos on the device or SD-card. If, for example, you have a directory "pictures" on your sd-card it will display and once pressed, it will open with the photos in it. Then choose MENU - Choose album as favorite and you will see that once you enter the Photos and Videos tab, this album is displayed...
In my thumbnail view the pictures look crappy as well, but once opened they look ok.
edit: keep in mind that the photo's tab will only display the first 99 pictures in a map

Put them in the "My Documents" folder (on the phone, not the storage card) and they'll show up in the lists for selecting ringtones and sounds.
Oh now thats a bit daft?, how do you access the my folders on the phone?
Any way to also stop them showing in music player also?
Anybody? I cant access the My Documents on the phone memory?
What do you mean you can't access it? How are you trying ot do it?
They shouldn't show in your music player if you put them in My Documents.
Well when i connect the phone in disk drive mode all i can see is the mem card, if i connect in active sync, i cant see anything?
Ok connected in sync mode after a reset and i can see the folder you said, put my files in there, but still cant see them in the phone menu?
Fount it Do This
Enable Active Sync
My Mobile Device\Application Data\Sounds
But how do i stop the sounds appearing in the audio player its annoying?
Sorry but a really noob question ..........
Where do I put music and video's so that the default app's find them?
I thought the SD card was 'external_SD' so that's where I put the music folders. But then, when I try to navigate to that on the phone, there's nothing in there. And also, when I open the music app' it doesn't show anything that I've added!!
So can you tell me where you put audio and video files please.
Sorry, I really show know this but it's not something I've done on any of my phones before!
Thanks in advance for you help.
SDCard : Internal Storage ,the 16Gb build in
External SD : The micro SD (T-Flash) you insert into phone
And inside Windows Explorer ,it should be two drives ,say ,Drive E and Drive F ,one is internal ,one is external
Hope this help
I think memory your looking at is the built in memory. I put some video files in the folder marked media and it found them ok. If you want to find the external memory you need to go to settings,wireless and network then usb utilities to connect tovpc. Thenn i just put all my music on there. Again it found them ok.

Right, I've done the music files. I've dumped them in the 'Music' folder in the above screenshot and it appears to have found them. The only annoying thing is that it's sorted each song alphabetically and not by track number!
Now I just need to work out where to put videos.
I also still can't see, from my screenshot of the folder structure above, where my SD card is. If it is that 'external_SD' then why aren't files showing when I explore it on the phone?
And does the Note not play .mov files? I've transferred some across but when trying to open them it states, "No applications can perform this action".

Hi all,
When I connect my Nexus 7 to my Win7 x64 laptop the system doesn't mount the tablet to a drive letter. It's listed a simply "Nexus 7". I can browse to it, but when I show file details it looks like the OS is thinking everything must be some kind of media (like music files) because the explorer window doesn't show the"modification time". It shows instead Track Number, Artist, Album, Year, Duration.
Thinking it might be Windows Explorer I've also tried Free Commander (a file browser) and get the same results.
Anyone know of a way to get Windows to see the files as something other than music files so I can see all the normal file attributes, especially mod time? The reason I want to do this is I have a bunch of epub files on the tablet and when I get new epubs it's easiest to sort by mod time and compare what's on the tablet vs. what's on my PC and copy all the files newer than the newest file on the tablet. This worked great on my Nook Color, and would love to be able to do the same with the Nexus. Right now it's a real challenge to figure out what I need to copy.
Thanks for any help!
UPDATE: After looking around some more I discovered that Windows 7 is seeing the Nexus as a "Portable Media Player", which is probably why it didn't mount the storage to a drive letter and thinks all the files are some kind of media, thus the file attributes Windows Explorer is showing. So now I guess the question is, how can I get Windows to think this is more than just a media player, and I guess mount the storage to a drive letter like you'd do with a USB flash drive or an external hard drive?

Well, I feel a little foolish about being able to get the mod times on the files. I hardly ever use Windows Explorer so I didn't realize I could just click on the header area where it says "Name, Type, Size, etc.." and simply select "Modification Time". I clicked on that and Voila! the mod times were there for me.
But in the midst of my searching I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774556&highlight=portable+media+player
which had an interesting alternative called AirDroid:

It allows you to view the files on your Android device via wifi from any web browser on your PC/MAC/etc. I tried this app out and although the transfers were quite slow it's a pretty nifty way to copy files to/from an Android device, and it showed me the modification times!
