im trying to put movie files on my 16gb card and were wanting to know were i put the video files so they work and misic files, ive also downloaded the htchd2 converter, but wanted to know, is it easier to place them on the sd card or use the converter. and how to place the music file so you can see the cover with the artist. please can somebody help! thanks:
My music is just in a folder on my storage card named "Music" & the sense player automatically finds it. I have the album cover in each albums folder & it's named "folder.jpg" & that pulls up for the cover art (same for WMP on the PC).
I'm guessing for videos you could probably put it in a folder named "Videos". If you use WMP on your phone you may have to have it update the library to find all the new files.

Have you ever been listening to your Britney Spears, Daft Punk or Tupac and suddenly you start hearing files that aren't music (i.e ringtones, notification sounds, etc.)? I find it pretty annoying that there is no current method to hide these files from the music player, until now.
I would like to give credit to Scheff's Blend for this idea, and after tinkering with the the doom game folder on my memory card, I found a file called ".nomedia". Within that same folder was over 100 sound files for the game doom, BUT my music player was not reading that specific folder.
I figured it had to do something with that ".nomedia" file, and coincidentally it DID.
Instructions:
1) Download and unzip nomedia.zip somewhere onto your computer
2) Inside is a file called .nomedia, copy it into the directory of media files you want to hide
3) Reboot your phone
P.S. This also works for pictures and video files, BUT for newly taken pictures and videos, or music files added, a REBOOT is REQUIRED to hide them again.
Thanks. Works perfectly! I have just hidden all my MP3s
so now people with naughty pics can hide them.
nice
I've been hiding certain pics since I got the phone. You can also just make a new folder with a "." in front of it and it will make the folder hidden.
Example: /sdcard/.data/all your ringtones, naughty pics, etc. here
Yeah, I just make a folder name it to whatever, go into astro and rename the folder to .xxxxx or whatever. Windows wont allow you (at least me) to add a . in front of folder name. But astro will.
Either way it works, but its the period that does the trick.
Even quicker, if you're a terminal kind of a person CD to the directory you want and type:
touch .nomedia
should work
Is there any way to hide it JUST from the gallery? I have tons of folder art with my mp3s that I love having in the music player but would rather not have it shown in the gallery.
You can change a name to:
Naughty.jpg.HIDE
Or name a folder
Naughtypics.hide
My ? is how do you find all the files that are not suppose to be in the Music library to rename them or move them
Most of them are named just numbers. I don't know where they are at.
Hi:
Whenever I load my album app, folders appear where my pics are categorized.
The problems is that I see a huge list of folders, incluiding album art of all my music, and thumbnails of other apps. So as you can imagine, a pretty long list which takes a while to load each time.
Is there any way to choose what folder to see?
I will like to see: Cam pictures, dowload pictures and video. NO MORE.
I can´t get all the other sillion of folders out!!!
Any suggestion or idea?
Thanks in advance.
I also would like to know how to do this.
Do you have your Music in the folder sdcard/mp3/ ???
You must do that, then it works well.

Hi,
'
Does it matter if the folder is sdcard/MP3?
Is it case sensitive?
EDIT I change de folder name from sdcard/MP3 to sdcard/mp3, turn off the phone, turn it on, and the same thing happens...any other suggestions?
Thanks
Simply create a file and name it ".nomedia" (without quotes). Put it in every folder you don't want to be listed in Albums (or Player)

I´ve connected my hero to my PC, enter the SD Card, enter in the folder where a I have my MP3 sdcard/mp3 an created there, with the note creator, an empty .nomedia file. But it didn´t work....do I hacve to this for all my MP3 folders? Which programs should I use to create de .nomedia file?
Thanks.
I didn't create it myself, found somewhere on android forums. I've attached this file (extract it to desired folder). It worked for me
Excellent!!! It worked!!!
Thanks.
EDIT. .nomedia inside my mp3 folder means no infinite list of album art in the image gallery, but it also meant NO MUSIC DETECTED IN MY SD CARD!!!!!!
SO...there is no way to have both working!!!!!
??????????????
Question
Does it works also in subfolders? 'Cause otherwise it's hard to copy this file everywhere....
You do not need the album art image (jpg) to display a cover in the Musik player at all. The htc music player supports the album art as a tag in the mp3 file. That means you need an mp3tag program to add your cover.jpg (or folder.jpg) to the mp3 file directly. Afterwards you can delete the cover.jpg. Then you have clean folders with mp3 files only in it meaning that the HTC Album does not show the covers anymore but the Music player does.
A great free program for this job can be found here: http://www.mp3tag.de/
The page is german, though;-)
Cheers
Hi,
how can i put my own image on the music album?
i don't want to use Gracenote.
Thanks

i've had that problem with album arts.....after many programs used i'm now using a program called Mp3Tag Editor.......it's soooo great and you can add the album art of your choice with no complications....you can download it from its site [Sorry, as a new member i'm not allowed to post links to other sites] just search google for [ mp3tag editor ]....
you just need to modify a little bit in the settings......so here is what to do :
after completing installation open the prog --> click on the [Tools] tab and then choose [Options] then modify the [Mpeg] setting just like what you see in the attached image......
have fun adding your album arts to your favorite music...
i hope that will help you......
I use media monkey as it works very similar to itunes, which I'm used to. Can add any artwork to any music files, and you don't even have to resize the artwork first
There are several methods.
You can embed artwork in the music files themselves, using a pc application as described above (Media Monkey, Mp3Tag...).
Or you can simply copy your album cover image to the folder where the music files are and rename it to 'folder.jpg'. This can be done using the phone's own file explorer, so no need for a pc.
Thanks to everyone.
i did it.
Best regards,

I tried the folder.jpg in the same folder as my music file but it didn't work?
I am using the same folder structure as the HTC pre supplied music files and I can view the jpg in the PDA editor
Any ideas? I prefer the simple (less software) approach rather than loading software like mp3tag and mediamonkey etc
I don't remember the folder structure of the pre-supplied music, but my music is arranged like this: "Storage Card\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\". In each folder, I have all the mp3's for that specific album, along with its own "folder.jpg". I assume it's the same in your case.
It could take a while before you actually see it. Try playing each of the album's tracks (just skipping through them should be enough), then load another album, then go back to the first. You should start seeing the folder image this way.
If that doesn't work, you could check the album folder to see if there's a file with a name that starts with "~hTC_". This is the Music Player's own cover image, made from whatever cover you supplied. If such a file already exists, you could try deleting it and then repeat the above steps to force the Player to recreate the cover image.
how can i play lossless music (wav) ? use hd2 wp7
This is not easiest way but I did get this to work in playing wma lossless music on my HD2 Winmo 7.5.
First create WMA lossless files with spec of 16bit 44.1K.
This is where you will go off-road..
Find a link on web on how to turn the winmo phone into a usb drive.
i found a link on wpcentral.
Goto the usb drive'd Winmo 7.5 phone and look for folder named Music.
Inside create the folder you wish and copy those wma lossless files you want.
These files will show up in the phone as "Various Artists", so they won't catalog properly.
So, go back to the usb drive'd winmo phone. Go back to the Music folder where you copied those wma files. Right Mouse click on one of those wma files. A choice to create Playlist should be there. Create one.
Rename the playlist as you please. Then right click on the file and goto properties. Then goto "references" tab. Select all the wma file names and "drag" them into the "references" tab. You may have to rearrange the order of the songs, but there are buttons allowing you to do this.
After everything looks right save this file.
Then, look for folder called PLAYLIST. MOVE the .pla (playlist) file you created into this folder.
unplug the winmo phone and you should be able to play this "playlist" full of wma lossless files.
there maybe easier way to do this... but I have not found a method on the web..
The way i do it is, first of all, convert the wavs to wma lossless with a converter. I use dbpoweramp.
If you have wav\ape\flac\cue files, get a virtual drive emulator like daemon tools and load the cue file in that, then get dbpoweramp or zune software to convert.
I then sync the music with the zune software to the phone. Done.
There is a minor bug. This happens on a few builds of wp7 ive tried.
music skips when trying to play from phone speaker.
If you use headphones or an external speaker the music does not skip.
personally, the audio quality of the phone is not as good as a real zune hd. I would convert to mp3 instead.
check the size of those files you transferred using zune.. i have tried your method.. however, even when the files are only "sync'd" not convertered, they were fraction of the original files..
the sync problem seems random to me. try to transfer one album at a time and check that theyre synced before continuing
Hi Community,
I've had a good rummage around the forum and can't find what im looking for.
Problem: Samsung won't detect my MP3 files (in either stock music player or winamp).
What I've tried:
Drag and drop to my external SD.
Syncing with winamp.
Formatting the SD card in the phone and dragging music over.
Using mediafix.
Placing music on internal card (still not detected).
Retagging mp3's (all are on ID3 V1.x)
Nothing works. The music is on the SD card but no app will find it. All tagged correctly and working on my spare HTC desire.
Test make folder called Songs on External SD card drab & drop one MP3 in it .
Open stock music player .
jje
Did you make sure you did not dump your files into a folder that also has the little file called ".nomedia" ?
Solved
Hi
i found the solution.. the download service I had used to get my mp3's has prefixed each file name with a full stop i.e ".makeyoufeelmylove.mp3".
I didn't know this but anything prefixed with a full stop tells linux to hide that file. This media scanner was not detecting the music.
Hope this helps someone in future.
