The best way I've found is to create a .nomedia file and place it in the game's folder. Open notepad, hit save as, choose all files from the drop-down box, then input .nomedia as a the filename. Then copy that file to the folders that you don't want the media player to access.

How to sync playlists with MediMonkey for TF3D-Music?

I use MediaMonkey to organize my MP3s.
Syncing my Music to the HD is no problem.
The MP3s get copied to \<microSD>\Music\Artist\Album\xxx.mp3
AlbumArt does also work with TF3D-Music Player.
But who do I sync/copy playlists with MediaMonkey to the hd?
MediMonkey copies the selected playlist to \<microSD>\playlists\ wich is correct for WMP.
But the TF3D-Music Player searches in \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists\ for playlists.
And MediaMonkey canot copy the playlist there.
1. I connected the HD as "File Mode" via USB (not "ActiveSync" or "Modem"). So there is no access to this path.
2. If I would connect the HD via "Active Sync", MediMonkey would not know to copy the playlists to that path and to correct the relative path in the playlist.
I although couldn't find any Reg-key to change the playlist-folder of TF3D-Music.
I hope you understand what I am saying.
And maybe can give me a solution.
btw: No, I dont want to use Windows Media Player to sync my MP3s.

Windows Media Player Albumart issue.

How do I get the albumart to show up for all of the albums?
Are you syncing a playlist using your PC? Or as you just dropping files on the phone?
I sync a playlist to mine, and the album art transfers over to both WMP and TF3D2's AudioManager.

I use Windows Media Player(on the computer), hook up my phone, click the Sync tab in Media Player(on pc), then I add my music to the sync list, click sync. Smooth as butter. All my info and album art is transferred.

This is what I do also. I just created a quick and dirty "Phone Mix" playlist, and sync it to my phone. Putting it in Disk Mode makes the sync run a lot faster.
I guess thats my issue. I use itunes, I never use WMP.
Thanks guys

Tip: Deleting Playlist from Mediascape

Some of you may be having problems with deleting playlist folder from mediascape. When you delete a playlist from Media-Go the mediascape retains an empty folder. Two solutions:
i. Go to Settings >>> Applications >>> Manage Applications >>> Media Storage >>> Clear All Data>>> Restart the phone
This will clear the playlists. Problem is it will clear all media data, be it music or video. While all your media will still be in the SD card you will not be able to retain/view it on x10 unless you erase them via Media-Go and re-upload them. A painstaking task. Nonetheless working one.
ii. When you delete a playlist from Media-Go it only deletes the folder in Media-Go. The X10 retains an empty folder and that is because the songs in that folder are not deleted from x10. Go back to Media-Go>>> X10 (or whatever name you have given to your device)>>> Music - and carefully delete the songs that are/were suppose to be in the now empty playlist folder >>> Restart the phone
I am not too sure about the success of the 2nd step. I stumbled upon it accidentally. I noticed that duplicate songs existed from the playlist I had deleted previously and decided to delete them manually - one by one. When I restarted the phone I found that the empty playlist folder was now gone.
If someone does this and my accidental experiment works do inform.
Notification alerts
I did this and cleared the data and the phone has no tones for any alerts including SD Card, sms, mms etc. Trying to change them just comes up with an empty list.
Restart the phone and it will link the folders up again, just means you need to reset the alerts you want for each notificaation type ie sms, email etc

Trying to get Doubletwist to work

Hi All
New to Android and looking for the best way to sync my music to the honor 8. Downloaded doubletwist and it won't recognise my phone. Keeps saying to mount it and on the phone via notifications, I select files but has no option to mount the device.
Android file transfer works but want a sync function for better functionality. Alternatively tried just connecting my SD card however doubletwist won't sync FLAC / ALAC files, can it onyl sync MP3?
Thanks
How about using a free cloud service like Drive, Mega or Dropbox?
Just use a PC folder with the songs, have the cloud client installed and syncing that folder. At the phone side, point the music library folder as the synced folder and you don't have to worry about what type of files you are using.

Music playlist empty when viewing on PC?

I created a playlist on the Music app, and when I transfer the playlist file to my PC the file is 0kb and is empty. When browsing files on my phone, the playlist file called "playlist.pla" and the details display it as 0kb. But the playlist still shows and plays songs correctly.
Can someone help me get my playlist from my phone into a readable state on my PC?
