Rescan the media (or just turn off and on the phone)

[q] about the stock music player

Anyone know how to change settings so library only adds files from a certain folder? I have hawx installed which has 500 audio files and the music player has them all listed which is really annoying having to scroll through.

In any folder you do not want scanned by the media scanner for music and video, place a blank file named ".nomedia"

ah ok thanks. Blank file meaning even a document file or something specific?

Glad this was asked. I was curious about the same thing. After installing some games, the music player includes some of the sfx in the playlists. Very annoying. I will try this fix as well.
Thanks for the post.

This works for all nested folders as well. And if you are rooted, you should also check out Rescan Media Root to rescan the sd card on demand. You can disable the startup rescan if you wish and use this as needed. I haven't yet disabled rescan on startup. It doesn't take too long. But if I add the .nomedia to a folder, it's faster to run this app, rather than connecting to a computer, mounting the sdcard and disconnecting to kick off the rescan.

Kies file placement

So I finally got Kies to work on my mac, but when i send movies to the tablet it puts them in the DCIM folder.....is there any way to change the location so I don't have to keep copy/pasting them into the Movies folder?

How did you get it to work?

Have you tried to uninstall and re-install "Google Play Music" from the market?
Otherwise go to Settings > Apps and clear App Data

Tried to do both( uninstall updates and clear data) however is not working

Connect phone to a PC and check for music and artwork cache folders under Android folder.
Remove them, disconnect phone, restart phone and try again.
Is the music on the phone, or in the cloud?

My music is in the storage. Ill try that method when i get home

I think the folders are;
Internal Storage\Android\data\com.google.android.misic
Internal Storage\Android\data\com.android.providers.media\albumthumbs
If you still have issues, then move (not copy) all the Music files to your PC and check the ID3v2 tags in Windows Media Player or iTunes.
Some tag editors may change more than just the album art. Fix them there, then move them back, or get a Google Music account and upload them to the cloud. You can edit the tags in the cloud with a desktop browser as well. I have more than 11,000 songs in the cloud and less issues than when I only kept a small number on my phone.

Also its label .mpga instead of .mp3

Look through your files with a file managing app and move it to a mother music folder. I don't know if you'll even find it because I haven't tried. But I'd like to know a 100 percent legit option too

No luck with that bud

you need to be rooted and need a file browser that can access root folders
got to data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
they don't have proper names or date accessed info so if you have lots of files like me... good luck

You can download google music manager on your pc and download your library. Then copy and paste to your s4. If you look for the songs in root explorer they show up as numbers if I remember right.

Find the song in your music player and click the pin button beside it.
That saves it to your phone. Done.
If you want use an app to make it a ringtone make sure you have root and use root explorer or anything root capable file explorer and navigate to data -> data -> com.google.android.music -> files -> music -> (artist/album)
Copy that file to your default Music folder that doesn't require root and wella any ringtone app should be able to find it.
OR
do as someone else suggested and download it to to your computer from Google Play Music then manually copy it over
