Put a .nomedia file in the Whatsapp audio folder and reboot.
Then profit.

Will this mean that whatsapp notifications won't have any audio ever?

No, you'll still be able to play the audios from within whatsapp.
They won't appear in the music player, though. That's what you want.

Try to download file manager app like ES File Explorer or Astro. You should find a create file option there.

Hi!
Dedicate Android media scanning only to selected folders, for example "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Music/"... is there an app for that?
greetings
Good idea, we need such a thing. Scanning of large space is really a long lasting thing.
I looked once on the market and found something like that, but i don;t remember the name. I use the .nomedia method. In each folder you want to be avoided scan, create an empty file with the name .nomedia; that's all
Just create a file named ".nomedia" in the folders you want to skip ;-)

I use Tone Picker from Play... (starting to get used to that name)
Unless you use a third party app or custom ROM with additional options, I think the only way to do it is to save the song(s) you want to use in the Ringtones folder on your phone. That's where I always save my custom ringtones, and they always show up in the list to pick from when selecting a ringtone in the settings.

Can just use one of many 3rd party apps. Or simply connect to a computer and drag-n-drop the files into the "Ringtones" folder.
SGS3 Media Files
Included Files:
-Alarms
-Ringtones
-Notifications
-UI Sounds

P.S: Don't forget to hit thanks
thanks man!
Gonna grab those UI sounds!
Thanks, mate!

Copying the ringtones into the SD card folder enables the files to show up in the ringtones selection, they don't actually produce any sound. Seems like our phones don't like the .ogg file type, as my phone takes custom mp3 files just fine.

If you guys are viewing mediafire from your phone, use Google Chrome and switch to request desktop view and it will show.

Get foobar and Lame encoder - then drag the files into the foobar window and then right click on the files (select all), convert (to mp3), and walk through the prompts (you need to download LAME too - try free codecs dot com).

Just went through them and you might be dissapointed though - I've seen a lot better sounds on most custom roms...

Is this for the UI and if it isn't then how would I be able to install them on my phone? Thanks

hey
you have to extract the file on another route. Now you have to copy and move. for example if you are going to move ringtone move it to this route. /system/media/audio/ringtones. Notifications /system/media/audio/notifications. Alarms /system/media/audio/alarms. and ui is the same but do not quite understand yet that I have little in this. when finished reboot and then go to settings and you will see in the sounds. sorry I do not understand much English.

OK well I have the ringtones part done and I've copied and pasted the UI sounds in /system/media/audio/UI. Then I rebooted and didn't work. Did I do something wrong.

Well you yourself said it was a dumb question. Honestly I figured stock would have read your SD card partition and would show you the mp3 as an option or if you had a file browser like es file manager then you could have used that to navigate to the mp3. Don't take me for a douche bag

drop the MP3's in the "Ringtones" folder via pc.
So, been downloading a bunch of sounds for my notification and ringtone sounds from the HTC Themes store. Annoyingly these were added to the list of folders included in Google Play Music app and I cannot exclude them so that I do not see them everytime I open Music. Please help me? How do I make it so that Music only looks for songs in my "Music" folder only?

That should not happen...
Alright, normally inside your storage you should have 3 folders: alarms, ringtones, and notifications. Every time you download a soundtrack from HTC Theme, it will create a folder "theme" (depends on its category) under these 3 folders.
Please make sure you have these folders. If not, maybe, I mean maybe, HTC Theme app cannot identify the correct folder and put the downloads into the "music" folder.

Everything is in its place, but those folders seem to be included in Play Music

That's weird. These soundtracks of theme, are they in (.ogg) format?

That's why. You have to format them into (.ogg).

Uninstalling just removes updates. I do not believe this. Why am I the only one with this problem? You do not have it? Others do not have it? But, why? I just downloaded these ringtones just like all the others.

I had already tried that before posting here. Doesn't work on Android 6, it seems.
OK, I found out that these files I am talking about are stored in the "System" folder under "Media". And I cannot cut the media files in them to another folder nor create ".nomedia" file in the media folder so that it doesn't try to find media in it (talking about Google Music). What do I do now? Why is Google Play Music scanning my System files ????
