Please can anybody give me an idea how to sort the songs inside a album in the right order. I can't find out what order the manila music player use for sorting the songs. All songs are on folders on storage card, sorted by album, on Windows Media Player the albums are sorted in right order, but manila mixed them up....
Thanks for your help!
You have to make a folder with the Artist name and a subfolder with the name of the album. Put all your album songs in that folder.

No use at all. Still messed up.
Use a program like mp3tag to edit the id tags of the files this will put them in the right order for you.
i got all songs in one folder & thay are in the right order. maybe you have to update your album from the right up corner in music tab.
I hate how all my music album covers show up in the gallery, so I put a .nomedia file in the folders to prevent the gallery being cluttered. Well, now my music players won't recognize any music files.
Does anyone know how to make music files appear in the player and have no album covers in the gallery?

Have you tried GalleryExcluder from the Playstore? You can hide any image or set of images with it from the gallery.

It looks like this app is no longer in the play store.
Here you go. I pulled a copy from an old backup.
When I browse albums on music players they will always show the "Music" folder as an album, is there a way to fix this? the problem is at one point there were about 12 albums named "Music". it makes no sense for PlayerPro, or PlayMusic to allow multiple albums with the exact same name to separately exist instead of asking or having an option to merge them into 1 album.
Hi!
installed somes apps, copied some music, etc.
now those images (e.g. albumart / coverart) appear in the album, so it's very bloated with a lot of undesired images.
how can i exclude certain folders from being visible in the album? tried it already with a ".nomedia"-file in those folders, but this doesn't seem to work.
any ideas?
thanks & have a nice day.
There is a .NOMEDIA file in the demovideo folder. Copy that file to the folders you don't want to get indexed, then clear the cache of the album app. Reboot your phone and your set.

thanks for the hint, but unfortunately it didn't work!

sorry, as i didn't find a solution yet...
Use Quickpic app to hide any folders you don't want the album to see. It works fine.

Is it posible that there´s a Problem with the .nomedia file in your xperia z?
Example:
I´ve a .nomedia File in the WhatsApp Media Directory. Right after the creation of that .nomedia file, everything is fine, the Pictures are hidden in the Album app. I´m recieving a Picture in whatsapp, Album app also Shows it, also after reboot!

.nomedia file is created with QuickPic...

USE QUICKPIC please. It is (so far) the only quick solution.
You do not need a .nomedia file under your music directory. You do however need to rename the album/cover art jpg files to AlbumArt.jpg (not cover.jpg or other filename), and Sony's Album app will automatically exclude those images.
You will still need to clear the media cache.

Bravia engine not working with quickpic
I've noticed Bravia Engine doesn't kick in when viewing images with QuickPic. Is there a way it enable it?
As I understand it, the .nomedia file doesn't work with JB 4.2+
Check StudioKuma .nomedia manager on PlayStore

Well, I just downloaded an icon pack and added a single period in front of the name of the unpacked folder. This makes the folder hidden. It no longer shows on my album or my widget for that matter.

use gallery pro
The .nomedia solution works perfectly fine for me. However it will not exclude stuff that is already in the album so you need to clear the data of the Media Storage (Settings --> Apps --> All --> Media Storage) app. It will mean that it will need to rescan your phone however, but it will correctly exclude any directory with the .nomedia file in it.
This works on XZ and it also worked on my old SGS3 running CM10.1 (JB 4.2.2)

Quickpic hides them from both galleries. If they're still in your album after you've hidden them, then you either need to reboot or if you've stopped media scanner you have to scan media to ensure they're no longer shown in album app.
Quick pic works perfectly on Z I use it to hide all my wallpapers from the gallery ;-p
It's a good way of seeing what your pictures REALLY look like without Bravia shenanigans also lol
For some reason I have an album in a folder inside music folder in the external sd card.
The music player is not seeing that folder or music inside?
I have other folders in the music folder and those I see...? Any ideas...
Galaxy S3, DarthStalker ROM & Kinetic Pulse Kernel.. Perfection.
Delete the hidden .nomedia 0 byte file from that folder. Rescan it.
There is no hidden no media file in the folder...but even to make sure I made a new folder, slightly different name, copied only the tracks, and still can't see them?
I even verified the tracks have id3 tags and art work...but for some reason they don't show up? I'm stumped.
