Asking this question again to all forum members - Touch HD General

Ok guys, the photo tab in manilla, we can set a folder path as favorites and have only that selected folder show up.... here is the question??????/
can we do the same thing for the music tab!?!?!?! MAN ITS SO ANNOYING having songs on my phone, only to all of a sudden a ringtone come on and ruin it!!!!! is there a way to set a specified folder only to play only music and not add the ringtone folder or other sounds in it?????

yes there is! i am not sure if these are the step cause i 've already done that
go to windows media player-> menu-> library-> menu-> open file-> open the file where ur music is -> menu-> update library
As already said, i am not sire if thats the way. But play around with the mediaplayers settings etc as mentioned above and u will find it
i have the same issue but now i am fine

update library adds all music files to library

** Question is in wrong section. Please put it at right place. **
It will be easy to use playlist to manage this. This is what I do. I create a playlist on my computer using windows media player and then add that to sync. Once added and synced, Music player on htc will update the library (or do a manual update) and then you can select the copied playlist from the library and then all music played will be from that playlist itself.
hope it helps.

Mate, I do not have this kind of problems. I play my music without any ringtone annoying me...
Camarada, aqui não tenho esse problema não. Todas as músicas vêm do cartão de memória e não tem ringtone nenhum no meio...

Nothing to do with development, moved to Blackstone

HD2 + Music on Storage Card

Hey guys, I was wondering if there is anyway of setting only a particular folder to play music from on the storage card. The Sense music player is picking up every audio format e.g. ringtones and playing them???
all i did was create a folder on my mem card called music and my ringtones are on phone mem and music tab didnt find them
Thanks. I thought this was the case, but I have a lot of mp3 ringtones assigned to contacts and moving them all over to the phone memory just wouldn't be viable.
thare are serval discusions on that, around here. actually there is no way from stoping the music tab to play all sondfiles it find on the storage card (or at least only play a single folder). there are serval registry key and stuff but it looks that the music tab is ignoring them and do what it like to do.
mad
you could trim your ring tones or lower the quality of the file depending how many you have and if you can be bothered or just create a playlist and exclude the ringtones that prob the quickest option
Use a file explorer to make all the folders you don't want the Music Player to see, hidden. The phone will still see all of the ringtones etc... but they won't show up in the Media Player. It worked for me.....
sorry for bumping an old thread, I put songs into my SD card in the Music tab, I find WAZE nav sounds ( in mp3), what should I do so the Nav mp3's are not shown in the Music tab?

How to create a custom music playlist in Mediascape..

I have been trying to figure out how to make a custom music playlist in Mediascape on the Xperia X10. I have searched all over the web and came up with only the Media Go option to create playlist from the PC. Anyone know a way to create one from the phone itself?
I think that the playlists do not work in mediascape. I´ve created a playlist in the Media GO aplication and import into the phone but I can´t see them in mediascape...
But if I open for example Meridian player - playlist´s are there and works fine.
See my post >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659893&page=2#13 << about the other media player in the phone, Its quite easy to do and playlists can be created and edited very easily and show in mediascape automaticaly.
Your not alone mate, I posted on this about a week ago.
It's seems that as good as MediaScape is, it doesn't offer the basic ability to create playlists.
Now there are workarounds for creating playlists on the x10 itself which MediaScape will recognise.
1. Install Astro file Manager from the market (free)
- Navigate to your Music folder on SD card
- Locate a track and long press, you should get a "Music Options" button.
- Within Music options you can either set as "ringtone" or "Add to a Playlist". (Please note this only seems to work with certain files i.e MP3)
2. Install Astro file Manager from the market (free)
- Navigate to /System/app
- Locate the sndroid Music player called "Music"
- Long press and select open as
- Select Audio
This will bring you into androids bult-in media player that SE have carefully hidden.
It loads your media library and allows you to create playlists easily, which will be instantly picked up by MediaScape.
You can always create shortcuts to the music app.
Long winded i know, and i'm suprised and disappointed that SE didn't include this facility in the Scape.
Thanks a lot for all the helpful info. So sad that mediascape is handicapped by lacking this feature. Would be nice to just be able to do all this in mediascape.
Any way of creating a link for this on the home screen??... and slightly off topic.. is there a standard android photo viewer hidden away too?
Mediascape detects the .m3u playlists in my music folder though.. Now I just have to find out how to make those playlists.
Hi all - I've sussed this out... download an app called "AnyCut" from the market... in here you can add all sorts of different things.. one of which is under the "activity" option.. called "Music" this is the stock android music app (mentioned by baggyb above).. this way you'll have a link to the music app on your home page which you can then use to create your playlists...

Hide Certain Music Files

Hey i have downloaded the Gps Navi/Cop Tracker app "Waze V. 1.8" and I think once this app catches on and there are more users it will be a fantastic application.. especially with future releases making it run smoother...
This is a turn by turn navi, so basically it saved all the "sounds" from that app onto my storage card... Unfortunately this makes the sounds show up in my Sense Music player... This is something that i simply cannot allow...
My question is there a way where i can make all those music files hidden?? so that they don't show up in the music player anymore?? i remember i did something along those lines with a wallpaper picture... i had to use a registry editor and i changed the properties of that photo to hidden.. and then it didn't show up on my albums anymore.. Has anyone sucessfully done what i am talking about?? or am i the only person who downloaded waze... or i'm the only person that has an issue with the app sounds showing up in my music folder... and i honestly don't want to make a playlist either and not include the sounds...i have one library of music.. and i play all of them.. no playlists.. ever...
sp yea.. i'm sure you guys by now, get a handle on what i'm talking about and what i'm seeking to accomplish.. so any help would be greatly appreciated... any tips, suggestions or workarounds.. thanks guys
+1 on that, Music Player lists all my Ringtones which I don't want to be listed there.
Your post has just made me realize where all those mp3's have come from.
Having recently installed Waze, I hadn't noticed them until I installed the recent HTC Music Player update and assumed that had caused all the unwanted files to show up in the player.
Having looked a little closer at the offending files, they are definitely from the Waze install.
I have co-pilot installed on my SD card but none of it's sound files show up in the music player. I'm assuming they are also mp3's and if so how do they remain hidden and the Waze files are not??

I used Total Commander to go to Program Files> Waze > Sound
Then select File>Properties
Next tick the Hidden System and Change check boxes and click the Now button.
Waze sound files no longer show in the Music player!

Good to hear you are now sorted.
Oddly I didn't need to soft reset, but as long as you get the end result it's all good

I tried this method after installing the HTC Music update, but now it takes over 30 seconds for music to open and show the now playing screen with the album covers.
For the first three times i tried to open Music, I kept getting a "filesys.exe" error, tried to send the error report and the phone froze (like it always does when I try to send any report) so i had to soft reset about 4 times in a row.
Now it plays but is really slow and laggy.
None of this happened when i had all my tunes as individual tracks, no folders! All i wanted to do was get rid of the Waze sounds files and now i can't even play any music!!
OS Version 5.2.21869

Did hiding the folder affect the voice turn by turn? Waze especially?
Edit: I did my own testing. Hiding the sounds folder in Waze did not affect voice turn by turn so if you have Waze, go ahead and hide those annoying sounds which appears in the music folder.
For the ringtones, if you don't have many, I suggest putting them in \Windows\Rings and for alerts put them in \Windows. This is because the music player sees the tones if you put them in \My Documents\My Ringtones (and as the previous poster found out, hiding them makes them inaccessible to all programs.
I tried hiding a folder I had on my storage card that contained my ringtones: whilst it hid them from the music player (once it rescanned), it also meant that the phone was unable to see the ringtones and thus failed to list them in the ringtone lists.
I gave up trying to find a registry setting for it and just changed the ID3 tags for all ringtones to say that they were by an artist called 'ringtone' in an album called 'ringtone'.
Contacting HTC Support suggested I create a playlist with all the songs I want in it -___-

same problem here, I need them as ringtones so hiding them is not an option
btw how can I add the music player to my startup list so it scans for the music when the phone starts? I can't remember the name of the file that was doing that, read it here somewhere but can't find it anymore :/

Samsung Playlists

Does anyone know how to sync a playlist file that the stock Vibrant Music play can actually read? I've tried everything I can think of such as:
1. Doubletwist
2. Samsung Kies
3. Sailing
4. Tunes Agent
5. Media Monkey
6. Windows Media Player
The default music player is not reading any playlist file formats created by those options. I've spoken with Samsung and TMobile and they couldn't offer an advice. This is terrible frustrating to me as the stock player is rather good.
I believe that the stock music player is only reading playlist files from a partition that we can't access as none that I've created are visible.
Thanks for the help.

MediaMonkey (tree view)
Edit > New Playlist > drag songs to playlist
Right click playlist > Send to > select SD card drive
Open doubleTwist > Playlists > select playlist
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure that the OP means creating a playlist that will then show up *as a playlist* in the Music Player app on the phone when it is synced with the music. Or for that matter just copied to the drive.
If someone has an answer, I'd be very interested, as I have a ton of different playlists I've created out of my collection that I'd prefer not to have to recreate on the phone from scratch.
I'm planning on using Banshee (in Fedora) to sync my music to the phone, I don't know if it will get any playlists across or not, but it doesn't sound like it.

I, too, am very interested in this. Creating playlists on my Vibrant is a pain. I want to be able to create them on my computer and then move/copy/something them into my Vibrant.
Playlists with iTunes
I not an apple fan but I do like iTunes as my music manager so this what I am currently doing. I have tried iSyncr and it works except it cost $2.99 and doesn't grab all the tags the way doubleTwist does. This method seems do do the same job as iSyncr except more manual work and time is required including not grabbing all the tag information so I guess I need to find a way to fix that someday :-( Nothing is ever easy.
Apps Needed:
iTunes Export http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/itunesexport/#Download
iTunes
Steps (Note you have to repeat the steps for each playlist):
Remove all media listed under the built-in playlist Recently Added in Samsung Music Player
Mount the phone to my computer
Run iTunes Export and select ( the ctrl or command key depending on OS to multiselect iTunes Playlists but with my method I do one at a time you will see why as you read on). I set the output to the mount that is the internal storage of my phone in a folder named MusicLib (name it to whatever you want). I also select Copy iTunes Structure under the Copy Files pull-down menu and all files under the File Types pull-down menu. Playlist is just m3u but I delete that file from the phone.
While it is running you may think the app crashed, but it hasn't just be patient. It will show a screen saying Playlist Exported when it is done.
Now eject the media from your computer and wait for the media scanner to finish
Open the Samsung Music Player and go the the Playlist Recently added, press menu -> "add to playlist" then "select all" -> "add"
Now you are at window that wants to create new playlist do it and finally select the playlist you just made and all the music you selected above will go into the playlist
This sucks I know but it is free and it works.
I discovered a way to get MediaMonkey to sync playlists with the Vibrant:

sync music via zune

Hi there ..
I have a problem with my device. Actually i dont really know if its because of my device or my fault.
I have a mp3 playlist on my computer. Its synced via dropbox to my work computer.
When i try to use my playlist at work, the file never works. Its because the playlist also stores the exact location info,
Not only "be my lover.mp3" it stores as "c:/be my lover.mp3" format.
So my work computer does not have a be my lover mp3 in its C, it never playes.
I remember that in the beginning of mp3 times, i did save playlist files and they always worked in other folders, i could move my albums as folders and i had no problem with that. Now if i move my album folder, the playlist would not work because of false references..
BTW when i try to sync "be my lover.mp3" format (no exact location info) playlist, my hd2 wont accept it..
Is there a way to make my playlists work somehow?
How are you guys doing this??
What format are you using for zune playlists..
I only have 2 playlists on the locations that i'm defining on my zune, bu unfortunately zune never recognises one of them.
I'm using Aimp
Hope this helps..

just tested working fine
under Collection - Music select songs, right click - Add to Playlist, select name of Playlist... sync...

If i do my playlist this way, i will lose all my playlists on my computer when i format it.
And it will be impossible for me recover them anyhow.
I am creating my playlists using AIMP (winamp-like player).
I'll tell you how i do it.
I'm going to settings, collection, i press manage for the music folders to be synced..
And selectioning my new folder that i have just prepared with its playlist exported via AIMP.
Right now i have 4 folders marked over there.
My music, public music (which actually are not important at all), playlist1 and playlist2.
My zune starts to process the files inside the folders and then in my collection i can see that playlist1 is in the playlist tab..
Playlist2 is not recognized.. so that i cannot drag and drop it to my device...
Playlist1 is drag and droppable! if ıyu want to delete the playlist including the songs all you have to do is unselect the playlist1 in your settings, collection, manage option..
Why??? i have no idea..
For external playlist support please look here
I tried both PLS, M3U and AIMPPL...
There should be a way.
OK folks, i've just found the way..
And thats easy one...
I'm gonne post a new tutorial for that later
It would seem to be a little "exploring Americas the second time" but i'm so much sure of that a lot of you guys dont know it...
