Hi,
I have the HTC Desire HD and downloaded some games. Now most of the sounds from the games and apps are played in the music player.
I saw on other posts that you can hide the folders or something like that, but those answers were for other phones and I don't know how to fix this problem on the DHD.
Please help me, since I don't want all these sounds to be playing when listening to music.
(I don't have any knowledge of android so step by step instructions on how to fix the problem would be appreciated)
THx!

after you put a .nomedia file in a folder, you must reboot before it disapears from the media player
Now I have another problem. I went to download the app but when I went to play a game today on the DHD the phone froze (I think because of the bad game I just downloaded) and it was a bit laggy and then I restarted the phone and deleted the game.
After doing so, I went to the Music player and it says: "No Music Found"
but I do have a lot of music on my SD card.
The problems has nothing to do with the app I downloaded because I still didn't open the app and everything happened before I downloaded the app.
SO now I don't have any music in the player to choose which one to hide.
I already restarted the phone 5 times and removed the SD card to see if that's the problem, but still the same.
Please if you can help me, let me know! or if this has to be moved to a new Thread or topic let me know.

That is strange. I had also some pictures of a game in the gallery.
So I created a .nomedia.txt file and put it on my sd card.
Then I renamed it with ES File explorer to .nomedia and put it into the folder the pictures are. Now the gallery doesn't search in this folder but my game is still working.
Edit: Maybe you created the .nomedia File in the wrong folder.
Hi,
I didn't use the app yet. So now there is nothing in my Gallery it says" no photos or video found and it says the same in the Music player.
Please someone help me.
Should I open a new thread?
Or can you guys help me in here also?
Let me know asap!

is your sd card working fine?, i mean are the files all threre? maybe your card is corrupt
All the files are there :S
If I use the eFile Manager App, I can see all the music picture and videos on the sd card and play the music only one by one when using the eFile Manager app. But otherwise I think the gallery is not scanning my phone to see all the music, videos and pictures on the phone or it stopped scanning.
What should I do?

Hi all,
I’ve googled my problem but cant find a solution sadly.
I am using PDAViet.net’s DVH_V25_NoBS and when I try to add my music to Windows Media Player, it finds all the tracks but then freezes at the ‘Adding files..’ part.
I’ve resetting and so on but it will never get pass that stage. Right now I always have to listen to my music via Menu > Open File.
All help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Jason
i had this also. i dont know were it comes, any special mark or something but i format my card new and now it works.
Use HTC Audio manager. For me its much better. I dont use WMP for music.
delete the hidden folder on your sd card msmetadata, i think you can only do it from the phone itself
then update your library again, you may want to plug it into power and walk away for like 10mins.
i agree with using audio manager but media player can save your playlists on the card rather than the phone
thanks for the replies.
which HTC audio player are you guys using which is hassle free.
mind posting the .cab?
many thanks in advance
(BTW, where should one go to look for files like this on the forum? is it in a sticky?)

File Explorer->View Options->View All Files (or View Hidden Files).
Then delete the Storage Card->MSMETADATA directory (yes, the entire thing).
Then you can Update Library from WMP and all songs should add.
I have music in my "Music" folder, but I also have some mp3 snippets I use for notifications/ring-tones that are in another folder (downloads folder). The problem is when I am listening to music it will sometimes play these snippets. I don't want this to happen... so is there anyway to have the music player only play mp3s from the "Music" folder?
no one else has experienced this?

I have this issue with Voicemails but I just delete those as I go. I would move the snippets to the same place as the actual ringtones/notification sounds that are on the phone, they shouldnt get picked up there...

Yes, and it has been covered MANY times before if you would have searched.
Create a file called ".nomedia" without the quotes and put it in any folder you dont want the stock music player to pick up on.
YPlease help,
I recently flashed the 1227 build of cm7, and as I just went to the music app, it thinks I have no music on my sdcard when I know I do.
Music is inside the 'music' folder on my sdcard, yet no program recognizes my music anymore. The rescan media app won't work either. what do I do to fix this and get my music to show back up in my music app?
Edit : there was a .nomedia file on the root of my sdcard. Removed it, good to go. Ill leave this on here just in case it could help someone else.
Legend!!! This has been annoying me for about a week now. All of my music disappeared off my phone for no reason (I still don't know what caused it) but I had a load of .nomedia files in my MP3 folders, removed these and it's all working now!!
Thanks so much x
Thank u so much it does the trick and helped my friends too :good: :laugh:
I recently did a clean install of MOAR v8.0 from v6.1 and have noticed that all the System .ui sounds ( .ogg ) are in the music folder in the My Files app., which means that they are also sent to the Music Player app. So when I was driving home yesterday and streaming the music through BT, all the system sounds like Alert_on_call.....Cam_Stop and all the others....plus all the sucky music like Birdsong, Fairy Fountain and such will start playing.
I have tried to delete them from the Music Player and the My Files apps, but they will not delete. I have also tried to move the files from the My File app to another folder, but they will still remain in the Music File.
Also, in the Astro File Manager, when I select the Music folder....none of the system files show up.
I have read and searched through the MOAR thread, but can't find an answer and I can't post there asking this, but How do I move the sound files ( .ogg ) so that they will not play in the Music Player app?
Well after 3 more downloads and clean installs.....it seemed to work itself out....I do still have the 'hangout' sounds in there. I can deal wit that for now though. :cyclops:

If you download a music player from play store like poweramp etc you can specify your music folders to play from and then you wont get system sounds

Yeah hangouts itself puts it in there, not much you can do about that
If you delete it, it will just keep coming back, but you can make a ".nomedia" file in there (without quotes of course) and it won't show up when you go to play your music (basically tells the media scanner to skip that folder)

Yea....I tried several different players but they all played the System Sounds. I did move my playlist to the external card and n7 player worked fine. Thanks

Haha....I didn't even think about .nomedia.
I read soooooooooooo many threads, posts and different topics on a lot of different forums that my head spins. LOL
So far I haven't heard the hangouts beeps, but if I do it's fine........I mainly wanted all the stupid samsung crappy songs/ringtones out of there.
I just ordered an AN-21 U about 2 hours ago, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528349 ...... so hopefully I won't need to use my phone for music after next week. :fingers-crossed:
OhYea......THANKS for all you have contributed to MOAR !!!!
So I have the HTC one m9 and it's not showing all my music that I have on the phone using the included music app. I thought it could be a compatibility issue but if I find the music using a file explorer it will play.
Any know what is causing this and hoe to fix it? Even tried moving music to a different folder.
Stock music player is pants. Have you tried another player? Had similar problems in the past but a different player like JetAudio allows you to select folders to read from.
Did you check inside those "missing" folders - for '.nomedia' file ? Is it there?

Yes it was there...I removed some to see if that helps didn't seem to change anything...
Remove all .nomedia files inside the missing music folders as well as from the one level up common folder - if such exists.. then reboot the device and give couple minutes to rescan your music library..
