is there a way to have it only list my music in my music directory? On default, it show ALL music/sound files. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
see the "sticky" up top (hints and tips), Im sure it tells you the registry entry to edit to sort that out.......i think....
When I did a search I must've missed that one entry.
"create a folder with your favourites, and set it to "favourite", in the menu.
only the pictures in this folder will shown in the gallery till now.
for music, just create a playlist with the songs you want, and start the first of it, on the playlist. this playlist is active for later on playing."
That's so stupid. I was wondering how I get it to play playlists.. You have to click on one file 1st then it'll show it on the main sense screen

I have created some play playlists in the music tab.
Now I want to delete a playlist, but I can't find a way to delete.
In the menu, there is only "new" and "play".
What is the right way to delete a playlist?
There must be an easy way to do this... but I can't figure out how to
I found this tread in the diamond forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405545&highlight=delete+playlist
Go to your playlist tab, and press the 'down' hard-key. This should highlight a playlist.
Menu > Delete
this schoul work fine on the diamond, but damn... there is nog 'down' hard-key on the HD. Anyone a suggestion.
You know I thought it was me being a complete idiot not been able figure this out
It seems to me they left that out
I've been looking for a way to clear the "now playing" list so I can use mine for a couple of days now....
Also trying to work out how to get the Album pics on with the music
Anything else work other than windoze media play for us Linux users?
Go into the list of playlists (library->playlists), select a playlist so you can see all the tracks, then don't pick a track, go straight to the 'menu' option, and choose delete.
works for you?

But that is deleting a "created" playlist not the ones shown in "Now playing" eg what you see on the main Music tab. Try removing/clearing the current "now playing"
Hi,
Ive got a folder on my touch hd, witch contains top40 songs. I'd like to add those from 40 to 1 to a playlist (in manila music player) but cant quite figure out how to do this. When adding songs to a playlist it shows or songs that are in the same album, or all songs in the same list. It would take ages to locate all 40 songs in that large list. So how can i easily add a folder of songs to a playlist?
greetings.
edit: lol i have already found it out altough its a bit non logical.
Go into WMP, hit menu > library > menu > open file, go to the folder of songs, press and hold that folder (else it'll open it) and choose play. Now hit now playing > menu > save playlist.
If all goes well the playlist shows up in manila aswell. If anyone knows an easier way to achieve this, please tell
Goodness!!! Finally found a solution!!!! Thanks dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol, i had the same problem when i first started using the Touch HD and i gave up. Just installed a 3rd party music player which doesn't require kung-fu hustle to play certain songs you pick
I have this issue where my music seems to be in a great mess. Is it possible to somehow set the media player to view music folder by folder?
Perhaps you need to tag it properly? Mp3tag is a good program for that, if that is indeed the problem...
Erm...are there any guides for tagging? Because I have no idea what that is. Even though I placed the songs I wanted to together into the same album, I ended up with multiple albums with different songs but same album name,
Well
Computers are like me, anal perfectionists. The name "This is an album" and "This Is An Album" an "This is an album" are 3 totally different things. If they are not correctly tagged, with EXACTLY the same name, they are not the same as far as the phone is concerned.
Tagging is simple, use mp3 tag, loads your songs and fill in the form fields (album, arsits, title ,etc then save. Make sure they are identical for each song by same artist/in same album.
To help make sure, select all similar tracks of the same artist or album together before you fill in that field, that way you ensure the exact same data is input in all of them.
Although it makes little to no difference to WM player I also sort my music into folders.
Music +
......|
......|
......+Artist1+
......|.......|
......|.......|
......|.......+Album1
......|.......+Album2
......|
......+Artist2+
..............|
..............|
..............+Album1
..............+Album2
..............+Album3
It's just good housekeeping more than anything and keeps things tidy and simple. Besides, some other program (S2P)actually sort by folder in their library view.
P.S. I also recommend mp3tag, it's pretty close to perfect.
Ah...wait...you mean for the music to be in the same album, the artist must be the same? So exactly what are the factors that determine the music being in the same folder? (It goes by artists? Not by albums? And you mentioned titles. How can the titles be the same for all the music?)
Oh and despite the fact that I changed the tags for the albums, it somehow remains the same in itunes and the Media XPerience Panel. Oh and this is how I change tags. I highlight the whole set of music I want to place in the same album. I right click and press "extended tags". I then edit from there. Is that right? What do things like export/convert etc. do? (Oh and I do save.)
Only if you group them that way, of course if the artists are different just make sure the Album is exactly thesame on each track. I for example keep all compliation/etc albums in an artist called "Various".
That's the issue! I have edited the songs I want together by placing them into the same album by using "extend tag". And yet, The album cannot be found on the Media Xperiance and the Itunes.
No need
You shouldn't need to use the advanced tags, in fact I removed everything from advanced tags that was non standard leaving only album, artist, title, genre and maybe year. I also found that if I edited them directly on the card it didn't work. They aren't updated. I moved them to the PC, edited, deleted any files related to library on the phone then moved the music back.
I don't understand very well your question, because if you choose Menu - Open File - and then select your folder, but don't open it, click on "Read", it reads the files that are in the folder you selected.
But I recommend you doing playlists from your PC with Windows Media Player and synchronize them with your phone. Or there is a nice freeware, MPlayListManager which can create playlists directly on your phone.
Anyone have a Mac solution to this? I use iTunes as my library manager but it seems to me the music information isn't edited by iTunes.
Hello.
Does someone know a way of hidding the album covers showing up in the gallery app? I know the way of putting a ".nomedia" file inside the music folder but that prevents the music from showing up in the music app.
Thank you for your help.
I would also like to know if there is any answer for this? It is irritating to go into gallery and sort through a couple of hundred pictures of my albums.
Embed the art into the mp3 files themselves so you con remove the JPG art files.
There is only one way I know off to stop this and it means going through your music comprehensively.
You need to edit the music files in iTunes or similar, and assign the album art to the individual music tracks rather than just copying a .jpg to the folder.
If you right click on the music file or files (you can edit more than one track at a time) and then click on 'albumart'.
you then find the file you wish to use and click okay.
EACH track then has an assigned album art picture embedded.
It takes time though, I've done 120Gb of my 300Gb of Music!!
21000 tracks and counting so far.................
Personally, I use TagRunner. Downloads the tags and art automatically (and embeds it).
IMO Weak workarounds.
Pisses me off the Gallery wont let you select specific folders.
I once dled a sign language App only to suddenly have 100+ pics in my gallery.
Id you .hide them...the App wont see them either.
Terrible setup by Android , no idea why this hasnt been addressed.
Super noob question,I can't figure out how to add music to my n1.I hooked it up to my PC,do I need software to sync up to? Thanks

drag and drop after you mount your sd card
Um, you guys know that you can just drop a file called .nomedia in any directory and the music/picture/video finder won't index it, right?
Yes that was discussed. but if the album art is in the same folder as the music, you dont get to listen to the music. And if you put that file in the albumthumbs folder, then the music player wont show it either.
OP is looking to eliminate it from the gallery only.
Are the music files and artwork in the same folder?
If they are you can't do anything about it.
Properly tag the files folks...
Now if the artwork is in another folder you can make a 1 byte file with the name ".nomedia" and place it in the folder.
None of the Media Scan routines will process the folder; this means in the folder images *AND* music will be ignored.
Placing the .nomedia file in whatever folder has the images (music folder or albumthumbs) will most likely prevent the album are from being seen in the music player as well.
I agree that properly tagging the music is really the best way around this. I use mediamonkey for my media management and tagging on my desktop.

I'm doing this, when I rename the file, it vanishes. Is this right? If I try make it again, it says it can't as a file with that name exists, so I guess that's how it should be.
When I go to album, these folders are still there though. Is there a way to make it refresh?
EDIT: Okay, I rebooted and this worked
I have been trying for a while to do this but no solution, I want to load all my music files into one big playlist and play randomly, random i can do but i dont seem to be able to add all my files, is there a search function in mortplayer, can you add a folder or just individual files ???????
D.
quite easy, as long as you have all your music under one big folder, let's say \Storage Card\Music, like me.
Make your favourite that folder, byt going to Open>Manage Favourites, and you're done, after that you just need to select your Music folder that will automatically appear on the Open menu, and press Select right after that. Be sure to activate Shuffle in the play dialogue.
If it helps I use the Steel skin (or a name like that) which in my opinion is the cleanest one.
cheers !
you the man !
