G'day.
So I have just begun using aDownloader on my phone, thanks to a rather generous data allowance App seems to work sweet and downloads happen as they should.
Since I have been dl'ing a bit of music lately, I thought I'd also make use of one of the stock music apps. As soon as I opened one of them, I found all the music I had dl'd had loaded automatically into the playlists, which was great...
I have now dl'd some more music, but it's not being picked up by the music app...I have looked for an "import" type function and even created a "Music" folder on my SD to store everything in the hope the music app would see that and draw from it.
So...how do I get my music (or anything) from aDownloader to where I want it to be? I have Root Explorer and ES File Explorer, so I can move things around if required...
Cheers.
You can move it with astro but use SD rescan to fix file paths

hi all
i bought a DHD few days ago and flashed the core droid 2.2 rom and loving it! i would like to know if there is a way to manage the music app in such a way that it only displays files from a particular filder and not each and every music file that is there on the phone for e.g. sound files from various applications are also present in my music area which is very annoying and the same goes for the gallery which shows each and every image and video file present on the phone.
i would like to know if i can define a particular folder to the music and gallery app to use.
nevermind i figured it out!! but i really wish that i could tell android to only scan my 'music' folder for the music app or the 'pictures' folder for the gallery app.
Just download a nomedia app from the market, put a .nomedia file in all folders except the ones you have music/pictures/videos in, job done

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:
hi guys,
I'm on AOKP B31 with Franco r130 kernel
For some reason my music files will not show up in any of my music apps (google play or songbird.
I know the files are there and the only way I can get the music to play is to manually open the file through es file explorer and use the es music player. If I try to manually open the file and try using google play or songbird both apps will crash.
I've already deleted the one .nomedia file I saw in my music folder and rebooted the phone and I get the same problems.
If you need more info please let me know but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!
*Forgot to mention that I've also tried reinstalling the music apps as well with no success.
**I fixed it. Not sure what was going on, but i took my music files out of the music folder, deleted the music folder, then created a new music folder, transferred music back in, cleared data for both music apps, and now it works. Not sure what was going on....
Try rebooting your device. If that doesn't work install winamp or poweramp to see if the problem exists there to.
Note: m4v or other apple produced media files will not be added to play music or google based music apps. Poweramp and winamp do!
If you love google play music make the music folder on your computer stream it's media to google play online using music manager and play it on your phone from the cloud.
If you like to convert your media to mp3, ogg or flac (best supported on android)
Use a free program called foobar. I like it because it allowes me to batch edit music tags in most formats, batch convert them and because it's free without needing to sign up for anything.

Thank you very much for your suggestions but I've already fixed the issue.
As I stated in my updated post above, it was strange because I had to delete the music folder and create a new one to load the files back into. After that it worked as normal. Never ran into that problem before and I never expected to fix the issue with what I had to do.
Again, thanks though for your suggestions!
Hey, I have had a problem with no matter what android phone I have. This has been doing it for quite some time but I dealt with it but last night I lost 12 GB of music so here it is:
Whenever I move music in these situations, it will erase all ID3 Tag information (Artist, Album, etc) and all it has is the file name. I had 2000 songs with artist names and all, but when moved it all became unknown artist. Here are the situations:
Galaxy S3: Moving Music from one folder to another (Like from a Download folder to my music folder on external SD). Or from moving music from internal to external or vice versa.
Optimus G: Moving music from one folder to another on the internal storage (Again, like from a download to music folder).
Evo 4G: Just moving from folder to folder.
All this is done with ES. File explorer. I tried other but they do it too. It can not be device specific because it happens on almost any android. All songs are in MP4/MP3 format and maybe some .wma.
Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. Please don't comment saying "Just use google play cloud" or anything, because I do not like cloud storage's. Thanks in advance. Really need help.
If you a file explorer that doesn't do that, what is it?
I always use Root Explorer, I've never lost anything, even when I transfer from internal to external and vice versa. I'm not a big fan of streaming from the cloud either so I can understand your frustration. Try Root Explorer.

Hey there folks. I'm in need of some assistance with trying to crack into Pandora further than it already has been hacked. You see, I have this newest version of the Pandora One music app that I got from a friend and it's great. This hacked version allows you to sign in and run Pandora like you bought Pandora One and updates like the OEM version does without any issues. This version also allows you to stream the audio quality in 320 kbps, do unlimited skips, it has no ads, and DOES allow you to use it more like Spotify... via favoriting songs as a Playlist and downloading the songs directly to your phone. When you click on the "like" button, it also gives you an option to download the currently playing song to your phone (which downloads in about 10 seconds or less at full 320 kbps quality).
*Here's the tricky part*
When the songs download, they get automatically downloaded to your phone's internal SD card memory and stored into a folder named for the style of genre/station you were listening to. So if you were listening to your self-created station based on a particular artist such as "Thievery Corporation Radio" or you were listening to any of the automatically-provided stations such as "Dubstep Radio"... songs would be stored in the approriately-named folder in your internal SD card "Music" folder via the following path below.
..... /storage/emulated/0/Music/Dubstep Radio
So now that it is known that songs are stored in your phone's internal SD card's "Music" folder location, does anyone know if there's a way to change this and force Pandora's downloads to be stored in a particular folder you created within your external SD card instead... exactly like in the "Save To" directory settings on the hacked "OG YouTube" app??
I have uploaded the hacked Pandora .apk to this thread, so if anyone can figure this out... have at it and please repost to this thread with the edited .apk to install. I have no idea how to hack/crack apps and add options that the original app would never give you/have access to. My main purpose with this is to take out the step of moving songs from my internal to external SD card.
Thank you.

Not good...using cracked/edited app is illegal and with my small knowledge of this great forum XDA moderators/admins will not tolerate/entertain these activities...You can be barred from this forum for uploading or spreading cracked apps...
Peace....

It's not that serious bro.... the guy just had a simple question. You take things too serious. Maybe you should mind your business. Because he simply asked a question about how you can change the storage location. He didn't ask u if it's ok and legal to use a cracked app.
Obv it's illegal but they got modified everything. Remember when rooting was taboo? Smh. If you ain't gonna answer a question... keep ya 2 cents buddy.
No need to reply to this. Your response is not wanted.

Hey buddy. I know this an old post. I'm wondering the same thing. Did u ever find a solution??
Viviana
Nah, no one has helped since my original post was made back then. To this day, I still use the "modified" Pandora (One) and I still have not found a way to change the storage location route it automatically takes by default to save music files.
To anyone interested in taking a crack at it with the app, PM me for further "discussions."
