I like the ringtone in the app "Touch" chat app.
How to extract it?

I don't know that app, but doesn't it stores it files on your SD?
If so, you could copy paste the ringtone
The app was known as PingChat, i searched my SD for any files but nothing.

Maybe it installs itself on your phone memory, you could try a file manager to find it and copy paste?
Some apps store them at the phone memory, using weird names, but just surf to the app folder and keep looking for clues on anything similar to ringtones. Happened the same to me but managed my way.

Hi all, just got a captivate glide, my first Android phone, and I have absolutely no clue how to get my music on it from the PC? All I can find in google is people talking about which file types it accepts.
Try double twist, that's what I use.

Thanks for the post, but it's just an example of what was confusing me so much when googling. People suggesting all sorts of programs, but I don't need a program, I just need to drag and drop my music, I just didn't know to what folder.
I eventually found out you can just create your own music folder and drop it there. So problem solved. Thanks anyway.
Yep, android will scan the entire device for media, so anywhere you like works fine. The only exception to this is if a folder has a file named .nomedia then it'll skip anything in it.
I mean, who doesn't put a folder for their music

Im currently on the Rooted Stock FC09 rom and ive been having a problem with my music players not recognizing any music on the EX SD.. I also noticed on reboot that media scanner is not reading the EX SD.. Ive checked for the " nomedia" folder and did not see one..
Ive searched several posts, and havent found anything to help yet..
This happened to me once before.... basically your phone does not ever scan for media on sd card right? I don't think I found a way to actually "fix" it but I was told to try an app called media scanner (or something like that). It didn't help me but you can try it. If it doesn't work I think u may need a new rom or reflash.

The .nomedia can be a hidden file. Make sure your file explorer is set to see hidden files. View it on a computer if possible.

Hi, I recently noticed a .enref file that is 7kb big on the root of my sd card. I just flashed a rom to my EVO 4G as well, Digital Karma V8 Reincarnation. I formatted my sd card before installing the rom, so I know it is not from the rom itself. I opened up the file in a text editor, and in plain text the word "android" was displayed in it. Should I be worried about this file at all? What is it for?
Also, using es file explorer on my phone, I do not find the file on the root of my SD card. I will check again on my computer to see if it appears there and tell you guys.

Alright well I just checked, I can see it on ny Windows pc but not on my phone using es file explorer. Does anyone have a clue at all what this file is for?

Anyone?

A Google search doesn't turn up anything, so I'd either leave it and not stress over a 7KB file or rename it .enref.old, reboot and see if anything doesn't work. If so, you can always rename it back
Alright thank you for the information.

This is an old thread, but just in case anyone finds this thread through Google like I did, the .enref file is created by Evernote Food and can be safely deleted.

any audio recognised by walkman in sdcard will appear in list.... android has no option to exclude folders in galler walkman etc is a shame still... only ways to getrid of it from walkman app is to make real race data folder hidden(put dot infront of folder name), or delete that audio...but i'm not sure if you do that whether race app can access it?
find the folder it's in using a file explorer. in that folder create a new file and name it
.nomedia

So, apparently none of the stock music players give any option to add local files/folders?
WHAT THE **** is the reason for this? Have to purchase every track from HTC or Google play to listen on my device?
Added songs to device in standard mp3 format. Can not figure out anyway to play them without downloading some ****ty third party file manager, navigating through the cluster **** android folder tree and selecting them each time I want to play.
Please help before I dig out my UT starcom PPC because it's more user friendly than the 'best phone you can buy'
I hope I'm a total noob idiot and there is something preposterously easy I missed. Please help.

I put it in the /sdcard/music folder and it's detected automatically... Though I don't think it even needs to be in that folder for Android to detect it. Not sure where you're going wrong.

What format files are you putting on the phone?
My Sprint version finds all my local music (in MP3 format) on the SD card fine with both Google Music and HTC Music Apps.
I just created a 'music' directory on my sd card and filled it up. I have a mix of mp3 and flac in there. Music player found it and played.... you don't have to buy from Google.
For that sh** you want Apple.

How did you add them? If you are using a wireless transfer like ftp or one of the apps out there, it may not work. Let me know how you added and i'll tell you how to fix.
Downloaded rar from Google drive. Extracted files into
/downloads

Fixed. Thanks. There is something wrong with my folder tree. Will only recognize files if they are in /music. Problem is that third party 'file manager' can't read the storage on my phone properly, created/displaying 3 to 4 copies of diff folders, sd cards (im only using internal storage), etc. Had to try 4 diff /music folders to find the right one.
Is there a native file Explorer that I missed? I've noticed that some programs are in the phone without having icons in launcher. 'Voice recorder' is one. I can open it with google now voice, but it shows up nowhere in my launchers.

Simply use a file manager and move everything you downloaded to another directory and move it back. When you extracted the files, the system never implemented them like if you were to transfer using windows or aft on a mac or htc sync. The system doesn't actually know they are there. If this does not work, dowload that rar on your computer and manually move music to the device, it will pick them up automatically

What format are the music files in?
Are you sure you actually extracted them?
I wouldn't keep music in "Downloads" that seems like an awkward place to keep it and might be treated specially.
I consider downloads a "Temp" folder that I can wipe any time because it fills up with junk over time.
Also are you rooted? There are issues of 3rd party apps accessing the external SD Card.
You may have two /downloads one on external SD card and one on internal SD card.

That's nonsense. That sounds like you never really extracted them. And when you "copy" them you are actually extracting them.
Once extracted they should be EXACTLY like you copied them there. If you are doing it right.
Some compression formats and browsers make it look like they are extracted, but they are not. You are just browsing within the RAR or ZIP file.
You need to explicitly "Extract" to somewhere else.
The best test is. Delete the RAR file. If you still see the files then they are extracted and no need to copy them back and forth.
But again. I think downloads is a bad place to keep your music.
Still ridiculous to not allow me to manage my own library.
Let Apple dumb it down for everyone. We aren't buying their products for a reason, and this is it.

They were definitely extracted and moved to several locations. Each time (before I found the 'correct /music) I could use a file manager to force open them in a media player, but they were never added to the library until copied into the magic music folder.

You can get poweramp if you want to manually manage directories. There is no magic music folder btw, stock app picks up any folder but i'm glad you got it working.
If you do get PowerAmp, make sure you untick everything except your Music folder (under Settings>Folders & Library), or you'll have ringtones and notifications show up, too.
