Simple, name one catalog "Music" put some music inside, unmount SD, run music player, mount SD. Player will search music only in this catalog.

You can do that or get a music player which allows you to select music from only a single folder in which you can put all your music. Hope this helps

how do you get them to show up in the music taag on TF3D and videos on the camera tag
thanks for any help
music normally gets scanned by HTC's music player integrated into TF3D. If it doesn't, I suggest using playlist manager application to import playlists. As for pictures and videos, they normally need to appear in Storage Card/DCIM/101Media.
Oh just for reference, I put my music in the Storage Card/My Documents/My Music folder.
Hi,
If I transfer music files to the Desire which are organised into seperate folders (directories) can I browse the music by this folder structure on the music player or can I only browse the music via Album/Artist/Genre tags etc that are embedded in the music files?
Thanks.
It'll probably depend on the app you use to play the music. They either work one way or the other. The basic Sense player sorts it by artist/album etc.
Is it possible with the htc music widget to select in which folder iet should get it's music from?
Cause I got some tunes from my gps software and it also shows those tunes in the music player

Try creating an empty file named .nomedia in the folder you don't want the media player to use, if your using copilot this will be the /sdcard/copilot/ folder, you will also need to reboot after doing this
Thx i will try it immediatly
I have an EVO and had the hero and both phones did this.
My only complaint with the phone is this.
I have my music stored in the media folder of my SD card
But also have my familys music in a different folder in my SD card.
I don't want their music to be shown in my music app, because I never listen to those songs, and it just makes it cluttered, plus some of the songs are kid songs.
Is their anyway to have music (mp3's) on the SD card but hide them from the music player recognizing them so they don't show up.

I had that issue way back with my G1...picked up a trick. Any folder that has audio files that you DONT want the music player to see, view the folder in explorer or some directory viewer and mark the folder as "hidden". You will still be able to see it and it's contents, but the music app will ignore it.
Create a file and rename it to .nomedia and place it in the folder of the music you don't want to see.
cool, thanks guys
I was wondering are the playlists for the stock music player or the google play music player stored in a file that can be edited? I have some playlists on my pc and I was hoping I could open them as flat files and edit them and place them on my phone rather than going in the music player and re-creating all of them on my phone.
