I have this exact same problem...i looked all over for ananswer and found a few tips but nothing helped. One tip said to clear the music cache in settings but that made things worse, I lost all my ringtones, notification tones, alarms, etc.
I eventually downloaded "Museek" player from the market and it sees all my music. Not my favorite player, but at least it is seeing all the music. Oh, and after I loaded that on I was able to bring back my ringtones, etc.

Ok, I've had my HD since feb and always found the touchflo3d music player a little buggy but after getting a couple of problems which i put down to having over 700 tracks in my music folder, I decided to delete all of my music, delete the wmdrms folder and started from scratch. I only put about 50 tracks on and when i go to the music player it searches for some time and says no music found. i tried updating the library in the windows media player app but although this states that it has found hundreds of music files the app crashes while searching. every time i go to look at the library from the TF3D music player, all the info is for the music I had before I deleted it all from the card!?
Any ideas peeps?
Sorted!
deleted the HTC audio manager files and rebooted.
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.

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!!

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 :/
Havin a real weird problem with my music player, need some help.
I've put my ringtones and notifications in all the different locations that the media player is supposed to ignore, though not all at the same time
/sdcard/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/sd/ringtones
/sdcard/sd/media/ringtones
etc, same for notifications
No matter where I place them, though the media player still is picking them up. I would put a .nomedia in the folder, but prevents them from showing in the ringtone/notification lists in Settings.
Is there any way to stop this from happening? I first noticed this behavior after rooting, but would just installing SU and busybox really cause music player to read these folders that are supposedly hidden to it?
This is driving me nuts when I'm listening to music and suddenly my ringtone starts playing and I think I'm getting a call!
Thanks.

this problem has been driving me nuts too. but you putting it into words just gave me an idea, try the no media thing, so it prevents them from showing up in the settings lists, but then try going "oldschool" (lol) and using rings extended from the market. it was an app first released for the g1 to see and select ringtones on the sd card that the settings lists weren't picking up.
00000
where exactly did you put the .nomedia? and what kind of file was it? or was it the name of a file or folder?
i'm down to help figure this one out ucz this music player is starting to piss me off with it's badass look yet completely lacking in options.
ps: another good feature of the stock android music player was that if you hit the context menu while a song was playing, it had a "delete" option. this was great for someone like me who dumped tons of new music i just wanted to have on the phone, and when i party shuffled, i could be like, "WTF is this unworthy for mobile listening sh!t? *delete". haha miss that option so...
yep...this is bugging me too...i just download a game and all the SFX shows on my albums list...and the ringtones that i have download from zedge...however a easy solution for me is was creating playlists...i really like this phone and it getting better and better...specially now that i found out that there's a equalizer in the music player...excellent.
Hopefully there will be solutions for this little bugs...i'm still keeping my phone the way it is.
Playlists works too, except I have like 3gb of music on my card, it takes a long time to go through and individually add all the songs to a playlist.
I found out that the music player ignores .mid files, so I just renamed all my .mp3 files to .mid. Phone still picks them up for use as ringtones/notifications.
I tried both a .nomedia file (just create a new file on your computer named whatever.nomedia, copy it to your phone and use Astro or Files to rename it to .nomedia) and naming the folder .media, but in both cases none of the ringtone files showed up in the ringtones list.

thanks for the .mid tip. hoping something more substantial comes up, as i have tons of my own ringtones i made haha. let's keep on this as it could be included in a custom rom hopefully
there's something messed up with my music player. for some reason it won't list all of the songs on my phone. some songs are listed, but not all. this error happened only after i installed SetCPU and once set the max frequence to 67 mhz to conserve battery. my ringtone was a song in my music player list and now even that has vanished from the list, but it is still there on the SD card.
Now my default ringtone is some loud annoying ringtone.
if i try to open a song not listed in the music player using sound player (not music player) and set the ringtone from there, it doesn't work. the ringtone is still the default ringtone. i can't even set it going to the settings > sound > ringtone because all the songs are not there on the list.
moreover, all my songs don't play in a queue. so this kind of sucks.
any ideas / help other than to restore factory settings or format my phone or flash a new custom ROM?
btw, i'm using 2.2. no custom ROM.
Okay, so I even tried doing a factory reset, clearing cache, flashing a new ROM but it didn't help. The songs still don't get listed in the music player.
Then I tried transferring the songs through KIES and now they do show up in the music player list.
But most (not all) songs that I download a song off the internet, or 4shared or receive it via whatsapp it still won't get listed in the music player list. Can someone help me out with this?
Did you tried scan folders with you music player? Thats should help

Just recently I made the switch from Google Play Music to a third party player and put all my music onto the phone. Everything seemed to work fine until I realized random songs here and there aren't being detected by any music player I have, or they are detected but are shown with some crazy length (sometimes even negative) and will just sit at the 0:00 mark. I've verified the files are formatted as MP3s and all so I have no clue what the issue might be.
I have a similar issue. The default tones in the "Notifications" or "Ringtones" folders will show in Google Play Music. No other music in any other folders show up.
Basically, I can listen to all the default notifications and Ringtones in any music app, no other music in any other folders (or even the defaults for notifications and ringtones) show in any music app, and I've tried many. I can view and play them using Root Browser even though I don't have root, but I can't play them in a music app at all.
