Is there any way that I can keep the HTC Audio Manager from adding files from a specific folder to the music library?
I listen to a lot of spoken word stuff and prefer to use Core Player for that, to keep Audio Manager just for music. But whenever I add the spoken word stuff to my storage card, Audio Manager automatically updates the library with those files.
Any way around this? Appreciate any help...
HI, I found out that the music player also plays my audio notes files (recorded calls) !!!! and no way to exclude folders from scanning mp3 files...
IN the meanwhile, the only way is to play playlists only
There is a setting regarding the device scan path in the registry in HKLM/Software/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/Config.
You could put all your music into \My Documents\My Music and set the device_scan_path_path setting to \My Documents\My Music. That way ringtones and stuff which is also in your My Documents folder wouldn't get scanned. I didn't try it, but you might want to give it a shot. You may have to soft-reset the device after changing the scan path.
Thanks Kork,
But afraid this doesn't work. It seems nobody (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345887&page=3) seems to know what's going on with this.
I previously tried hiding the folder - didn't make a difference.
There surely must be an answer?! Someone who's much cleverer than me - help!
yea, i like my TP2 and all, but the finger friendly audio player is quickly getting on my nerves with its filterless "pull every audio file in existence" search criteria. Not to mention the fact that its throwing songs Every which way because some of them dont have proper embedded information, which, i am not sure how to edit outside of Winamp. Their also doesn't seem to be any way to Remove any files in the playlist. Media player will at least let you do that, problem is it isnt too finger friendly.
As a workaround you can rename all "talk.mp3" to "talk.mpa", then the manager will not find it, but other players will
Totalcommander can rename multiple files in one operation.
teemo, you're a GENIUS! MANY many thanks for this.
(what a stupid flaw in the Audio Manager program though eh!)
Delighted, thanks...

on the jas jar., i've hundreds of tunes loaded on a storage card.
i can see them all on the card using file explorer but can only ever play them one at a time?
i can highlight them all but i can't seem to find any option to 'play all' or anything similar?
i can see a repeat and shuffle feature which hints it can be done but how do i get the tunes in to start 'shuffling' ?
please help
thanks in advance
im windows media, do a scan and it'll put all tracks into the library, you can then skip through using the previous and next track buttons
Or get a better media player. I've given up on Windows Media as I think the file handling is horrible (playlists etc.) I have been using TCPMP - The Core Pocket Media Player and I think it's much better. Even though I think people primarily get it for it's video capabilities, I mainly just use it for the audio. It's officially free, but if you like it you can make a donation to them.

I do not have the Jasjar with me but as far as I remember in WM you go to menu choose open file and then the folder and start playing the first tune.
Then it continues playing what ever is in the folder. You can also skip what you don't want to listen

I find the process of creating and modifying playlist rather slow and cumbersome, in the TF3D music player and in window media player. In the former, you need to individually bring a long and add to a playlist. In the later, I need to individually delete unwanted ringtones and sound files from the library.
So, I wish there is a software that list all the sound files in the device but simply let my uncheck on the checkbox to select my song, then save it as a playlist.
Anyone uses such a software?
Found this:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-playlist-manager-build-103006.html
It works exactly as I wanted. However, only for Window Media Player.
Is there one similar for TF3D music player? Alternatively, is there a way to convert this playlist to be used by TF3D music player?
edit: found this:
http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=PlaylistMgr&platform=ppc
Going to try it out.
Edit: Yap, it works. Problem solved. You can now very efficiently create any playlist!
LOL Thanks again, I am just going to follow your posts and everything will get fixed for me!
I can't get it to work. I can create a playlist but when I go to the HTC playlists it's not there, what am I doing wrong?
Ah, soft reset fixed it.
I installed the Asphalt game from the market and now there are close to 180 ogg files named raw* in my music player list. Is there anyway to get rid of them without unistalling the game?
I don't want to use some other music player since I like the default one's widget
Create a file with notepad and give it no name and the extention .nomedia place this in the directory that contains the items you don't want to be displayed in your media player and your problem is solved.
So you will end up this: ".nomedia" it's totaly empty but this is the way 2 go.
Worked perfectly.. Thanks!
Is there a similar approach to sorting images? The albums they show up in seem to be quite random. I'd like to define only certain folders to grab images from for the albums. I just can't figure out to manage photo albums at all.
i did it and worked at first but now i see them in music player. they are scanned again
edit: a restart fixed the issue and now they don't appear
Does it work with video files too? also wondering if it is anyhow possible to hide applications in program listing?
tried this, as my audio book files showed up in the music player, and it works...but...it also removes the audio book files from the audio book player! So I had to remove the .nomedia file again to be able to listen to my books
thanks! worked
Hello, guys.
Today I decided to delete all my music from my mobile and move it back again from my computer because I fixed a lot of the mp3 tags etc. What can I say? I'm a perfectionist. The problem is that the Music player -- even though it appears to be reindexing -- updates nothing other than the album pictures that I had embedded in the mp3s. The genres etc are still wrong which led me to believe that it does not really reindex.
I tried all the usual stuff and also tried this weird idea: unmounted the memory card, used Advanced Task Killer to complete shut the music player, went to Settings->Applications and cleared the music player's data (size was only 8kb though), remounted the SD card, but the Music Player still indexed the files with the old tags.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks in advance,
Louis.
That's an odd problem. Have you tried testing it on an alternative music player application?

Actually, after a quick search I've found that many people have the same problem. From what I had read, changing a Media Player wouldn't fix it for them either (even Media Players with the built-in option to actually reindex the music). I tried something that at the very least sounded like a stupid idea and it was fixed though. Haha! Moving the files to a different directory than the one that the previous files were in causes the Media Player to completely reindex the files (mp3 tags, album covers etc).
I guess the logic behind it is: The music index file keeps a path to the mp3 together with something like comma separated values for the mp3 tags. Since the updated files I had moved from the PC to the memory card had the exact same filename and only altered mp3 tags, the phone completely ignored the mp3 tags assuming that it was the same file. By moving the music to a different directory you cause the index file to be updated (or even recreated) because the path to the new mp3s is not listed in the index file.
Hi guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place.
So i have an Xperia Play(Duh), but i am sick and tired of music saying 'Unknown-Tinie Tempah feat Eric Turner-Written in the Stars' for some tracks. That was just an example of that specific song by the way, they don't all say that...
I want to know if there is a way to manually edit the name and art work of the tracks without the use of a PC, but if necessary, i will use a PC. I've downloaded several different Apps from the app store that are supposed to change the names of them but when i change them and save, it doesn't change anything.
Any suggestions would be appreciated since it's getting on my nerves >.<
Cheers.
I tried a lot of music apps and this is the best music app in the store, it lets you rename tracs, edit tags, add albums, search for lyrucs... etc PlayerPro Music Player
For PC, I use this great software TagScanner to edit music
iTag worked for me.
Doing it via phone is possible as evidenced by other users, but that's too much hassle for me so I always use a PC. PowerAmp can do it, but still I don't find it efficient.
I use AudioShell ID3 Tag Editor. It allows you to edit Track Title, Contributing Artist, Album, Year, Track, and Album Art among many many many many others.
It's a shell extension by the way so you have to right click your music files and edit the tags under AudioShell Tab.
