Hi everyone!
I have a little trouble with my navigation system sounds on Xperia Arc S.
I'm using iGO Primo and this app is using sounds in *.mp3 format, so these sounds are automatically added to the Walkman application.
The question is : Can i somehow make the folder with these sound hidden for Walkman? Or any other solutions for this issue?
Thanks everyone!

create .nosound file in a folder with these mp3 files then clean data for walkman and media scanner and reboot. You don't have to clean data but it will take a while for these files to disappear from walkman app.
.nomedia file is a file that tells android media scanner to not scan this directory and its a plain text file named ".nomedia" without an txt extension. If you cant create this file then you can copy it from "android" folder in you sdcard.

Did everything as u've adviced (coppied the file from android folder and put in every sound directory) ; unfortunately didn't work (
If walkman is using media scanner then there is no way this cant work. Maybe you have to wait for these files to be deleted from app.

Yes. just create a file entitled ".nomedia" and copy to those folders you want to exclude. As far as I remember, you have to reboot to make it work. That's all!

Create a blank text file called .nomedia then stick a copy of this in all the folders you DON'T want to appear in the music player.
That's how I understand it anyway, haven't tried it so I might be wrong!

Yes. An empty .nomedia file should be in every directory on your SD card which you don't want to include in your music player/photo viewer.
I attached a zip file with the .nomedia if you want it. Just extract it to necessary folders.

You could also install a player that allow you to specify directories that hold music. Mortplayer is such a player. Available from Marked.
I prefer to use the stock music player because I like to use the widget but
having to add a file to all directories is a bit of a pain ,
So I just downloaded mortplayer , and it works fine but you would think
you would be able to play only music from the mp3 folder by default or at least
given an option by the htc music player

Hi fellas,
I have a good amount of musics, and they are all equipped with albumart.
When I open gallery / gallery 3D, all those unnecessary folders with albumart on each of it showed up. How do I remove or hide these albumart/folder from gallery ?
I wanted gallery to only show my pictures... not albumarts...
Please, any help would be appreciated..
Have you tried putting a nomedia file in the folders that you don't want to show images in the gallery? I've attached the file in a rar, try downloading it and placing one in each folder that you don't want to show it's image content in the gallery.
how did you get those files? these are amazing! did you made it?

you just create a blank file called .nomedia, also try nomedia from the market, it lets you create and manage your .nomedia files
Rename your folder with the album art....
You just need to rename the folder with the album art and precede it with a .
eg:
.albumart
By default the OS ignores anything with a . in front as it uses these for system files, your picture/media viewer will ignore any folders with a . in front
Hope it works....
Also been looking for this!
Thanks!
Wow, great tip! I've been wondering about this too! I'm going to finally be able to hide JuicePlotter cache images! All is good in the world now.
Am I being dumb here??
I've just downloaded nomedia as my Gallery app was loading every image on my phone. I've run it and selected the folders I don't want to see in Gallery. I can see a new .nomedia file appear in the chosen folders but still Gallery shows them.
Please help as per the other users this has been bugging me for ages.

I seems to have trouble finding the actual folders location. I have folders such as "newdesign" "zimly" and stuffs, but when I look up to them at sd card root.. Can't seems to find them. I also tried to find inside subdirectories, still can't find. Gallery 3D does not tell you information where do those particular folders are hiding at. How do I find them?
can anybody else help?

when I try to rename the folder with . from windows, it always show error message:
"you must type a file name"
How do you rename it ?
Run "cmd" and go to the directory which contains the folders you want to rename ( "cd .." to go back one dir. and cd "example" to go to a further directory from the dir you are). Then, for example, type "ren abcd .abcd".
I hope the instructions are clear

for the 2nd time, download nomedia manager off the market, its an app that will let you create and manage your .nomedia files lol
I have a HTC Desire with 2.2 stock and unrooted. I just noticed that have a directory called NewDesign in my gallery and I can't find it or get rid of it. I think it appeared after the Android update last night. Anyone know how to get rid of it?

Well.. I agree.. nomedia seems to work great... too great in fact...
I found this thread while "searching for a way to keep album art from showing in the picture/movie Gallery" (the basic Gallery app built into my Samsung Fascinate).
So, I tried nomedia... re-scanned Media Card... well.. it worked, only folders with pictures I want show up.
HOWEVER.. I assume nomedia truly means no media at all will show up in any media application.. ie: Now, when I launch Music Player... it too is obeying the nomedia file, and all of my Music mp3s are no longer visible at all (only the ones in the ringtones folder, which I currently do not have a .nomedia file in).
Is there any way to get rid of album art from the photo Gallery.. AND maintain access to the mp3's and the Album art via the Music Player app?
Thanks in advance for any assistance or knowledge anyone has on this subject.

After a bit more digging, I realized that the Art that was showing up in the Gallery were some files named .....AlbumArt....small/large.jpg.. In other words.. I had all the "folder.jpg" files.. AND other files not named "folder.jpg" .. it was the 2nd group of files that was showing up in the Gallery. Thus, I mounted my SDCard from PC... searched for all "*AlbumArt*jpg" files, and deleted them... allowing only the "folder.jpg" files to remain.
This now allows Media player to see the folder.jpg files for album art... while keeping the "other" file's from showing up in the photo/movie Gallery.
In hindsight, this is pretty obvious.. but, when I was posting above, I didn't realize that I had both sets of "folder.jpg" and "other files".. ..
Obviously, I disabled the ".nomedia" for "My Music" folder, allowing it to be scanned, ... and allowing the Gallery to ignore the "folder.jpg" files.
Thanks to all for your responses....

Where did you copy this instagramm folder? Try renaming it or moving it to another path on the memory. Also check out if there is a .nomedia file somewhere in the folder or in the folders above (depending on what file browser you use, you maybe have to turn on "Show hidden files"). If you find a .nomedia file, just delete it so that the media scanner is allowed to search for pictures in this folder and all the subfolders..
Setting > App > All > Media Storage
Clear data and cache.
Media rescan.
Settle.

Τhank you so much!! that was the answer!! I found a.nomedia file in the folder of pictures, so i suppose that was the reason why it didn'd show me the files edited after the update.. Thanks again..

I read... alot! And every time I download an EPub book it puts the cover art into my gallary as a new folder. I have over 200 in there now! Is there a way to put them into a separate folder and keep the main gallary folder for just my photos - still have them work as far as displaying the art and download to the new folder?? Or perhaps have my photos go to a specific folder?

Create a .nomedia file in your ebook folder and it will skip that folder for scans.
I had to do that for quite a few locations to skip them.

I appreciate it but how would I go about doing that? Not a complete newb, just a partial one.
I use an app called es file explorer for all sort of file/folder related tasks.
I browse to the folder on my internal or external card and hit new to create file in that folder and name that file .nomedia

Idk if my subject line is misleading or not but I downloaded some music for a ladie friend of mine on my phone and I put them all in a folder using es file explorer but the drag is they show up in my music player. Is there anyway other than transferring with the usb to my pc to block or lock the folder so my music player won't play them?
