The Music app seems to load every audio file on my internal and sd card memory. How can I make it so that Music will only check my music folders? I tried the .nomedia trick but everything still shows up. I appreciate any help.
Does anybody else have this issue? I have audio books, recorded calls, voice memos, etc showing up in winamp, music, etc
Really? Im the only one here with this problem?
what i have done for every phone i have had is make a music only folder on the sd card and no other files in the folder and it works perfect.
i dont really think winamp and the default music player have folder options but i think power amp does
I do only have music in my music folder. these players are grabbing all audio files, even ones they can't play for some reason (ie: wav), from every folder on both the internal and sd memory. i have put a ".nomedia" file in all other folders besides the one with my music ion it and still no good. i will take a look at this power amp though.
Okay checked out power amp. it does have folder options which totally fixes my issue but it's a paid app... you shouldnt have to pay for this kind of feature.
hmm..that is weird.. I also just created a 'Music' folder on my SD card, and my music player has no problems.. it doesn't see anything else but that folder for music..
I stuck all my ringtones, notifications, alerts on the internal SD like this:
\media\Audio\Alarms
\media\Audio\Notifications
\media\Audio\Ringtones
those do not show up in my music list when I open the music player..
hth...

make a folder on the sd card name My Music, that should work
Not possible Unless someone finds a way to edit it in the manila files. It just searches the storage card for all media. So my suggestion to you would be to have all the other audio on your internal storage or use another player. I don't even use the TF3D player. I used to think it was all awesome, but screw it, S2P and CorePlayer ftw! WMP is good, no doubt. If you want a really good player, buy Conduits Pocket Player

actually that's what i did ..but still ..didn't work
Any work around to this issue?
Yeah does anyone know?
It's picking up the mp3 from my Nimbuzz folder and other program folders, i have a Music folder but it picks everything.
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?
I have searched everywhere, but I know this has to have been listed before.
I have about 4gb of music I'm syncing from my PC, but when I pull up music on phone (no playlist) I see all the music on my device AND the music I synced.
I want to ONLY see the music I add. For photos, there was a reg key I added to set which folders were ignored. Is there a way to do that for music as well?
Ur Own Music
zim 2323 - this drove me cRaZy for a couple of weeks until I downloaded OMarket and got "Nitrogen".
I can click and drag my music from my PC instead of having to sync (if you have already d/l double twist - get rid of it - more pain than it's worth) and the system music files are omitted in Nitrogen.
I did the same thing and it ONLY shows the music I added?! I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to do?! I dont have music on the phone and it only pools what I have on my storage card. When i first loaded music it said it was searching for music and it found everthing I added.

Hey Zim Yes, I think there's a regedit method for this, but the way I do it is to just figure out which folders I need to exclude and then navigate to them in Total Commander, long-press, and choose "properties"...you can then choose to hide the folder just like in regular windows. For me, it turned out that just hiding the "program files" folder on the SD card was enough, but I'm sure you can handle it if there's more you need to hide.
Unfortunately I can't hide program files on the sd card because I have to see the folder for software I use/install.
I also do not want to use 3rd party media players. I want to load music and play natively in sense.
When I goto music TAB it finds every MP3 on ROM nad SD memory. I only want to see music located in \storage card\my documents\music.

No folder that I've hidden this way seems to be invisibile to me or the sys...they still show up in file explorer, and are still directly accessible by apps etc, they just don't get indexed.
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
where in the sdcard can I put the music I have in my pc so it shows correctly in the player in the phone?
Create a folder named music.
Actually, music can be wherever you want it to be, in whatever folder you want. There's a media scanner process that runs every so often that scans your SD card and finds music files wherever they may be. Typically the stock media player can see all media files found by the scanner, but if you're using a third-party player, it might only look certain places for the files.
Off the top of my head, Meridian lets you choose which folders it will look in for media files, whereas doubleTwist appears to be hard-set to only look in certain locations for media files, such as Music and Videos (it seems to ignore any audio files I have in my notifications and alarms folders).
If in doubt, then yeah, just put your music files in a folder called Music.
