Is there away to hide certain albums in the gallery?
It found folders for a theme so it is showing a lot of unnecessary albums.
Is there something in the play store that is better than the stock gallery?

You can add a .nomedia file (empty) to the parent directory of your music; the covers then won't show but also some music apps won't scan for music. You can search the Play store for Quickpic that lets you hide folders from view without affecting other apps.

I use isyncr to get music from my iTunes onto my gnex. Worked fine at first, then suddenly no music app except spotify will see my local music. Even after wiping media storage data, wiping phone itself, and changing Roms. Anyone have a clue what's going on?

I'm having the same issue only with Pictures... they wont show up in my Gallery. No answer to this yet, huh?
Make sure there is not a .nomedia file in those directories.

Just checked, there isn't. If I take a new picture it shows up, any prior pictures which are definitely in the same directory do not show up.
Have you tried Google Music Import from the Market?
I don't have a problem myself for music since I use Google Music but I have had that problem with the Gallery. I think it's a bug with the stock Gallery app, and the pictures show up fine using a third-party one like QuickPic. Not an elegant solution but it works.

After quite a bit of troubleshooting. (Clearing Caches, wiping gallery data, wiping media storage data, etc...) I've come to the conclusion that the stock gallery just does not scan for existing media. Not sure why, but it is what it is.
Is there any way to make to picture to not show up in gallery???
Theoretically you can put .nomedia files into folders that you don't want to show up in media apps (for images, sound files and videos) but the stock gallery app is very buggy when it comes to refreshing the folder lists properly. I would use a third-party app like QuickPic instead. That app also has an option to hide folders inside the app itself.

it might help if we had a little more information like which music app and what rom? I think if you put .nomedia file in the root of your picture folder will solve this but not sure if that will stop the gallery from reading it.
Sorry running on stock jb rom rooted and its the Samsung music player

Ive had that problem on 3 different android phones. Used a few different players. Only happens on podcasts I download from the web. /shrug

Does anyone have the problem where the music player pulls all audio files including ringtones and notification tones and displays them in the list? I find it frustrating that it does this. Does anyone know a way to get around this?

No just plays music from my music folder try putting all ur music in a music folder. Before u do that force close the player then erase data for it and the media storage then make ur folder.

mine pulls it from downloads folder too, so anything in there also gets put on mine, also it will use pictures in the download folder as album art, had a pciture of my fractured swollen foot for a while as pantera album art since they were in same download folder till i figured it out
In the gallery app there is an option to view photos from online sources, but the only two options I am given are picasa and facebook. is there a way to get other websites and cloud storage in this app, like from skydrive etc.
thanks
You can have Picassa, facebook, Twitter and play memories. There is no way to add something on your own.
