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

I like the ringtone in the app "Touch" chat app.
How to extract it?
Sent from my Xperia arc using XDA App
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, I have cleared data for "media store" app in app manager, now the music app is showing no media.
Why I did it, because I could not find some music files in music app after the 1.29. update though they were still there as mp3 files in the storage (also I have PowerAmp and it has no issues) I have restarted the device, but it did not help, also tried by activating USB mode to disc drive then back to storage again considering with this could work as mount/unmount and does the trick, but no success. I do not want to do a hardreset if it is avoidable as well.
Is there a way to force HTC music app to rescan storage for media files?

Download extended controls and you can have a toggle that forces a media scan.

You might also find a dedicated app in the market.. search for 'media rescan' and use the one that works best for you.

have tried with 4 different apps from market but none of them solved the matter. There is not a such option in the music app, actually no "settings" at all.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
There's no command that I know of in the menus. You might need root to run it? But I doubt that.
Android should rescan every now and then.
You could also try clearing the media players cache.
also.. Power amp has this feature buildt in

I know, hv been using Poweramp since earlier, it is awesome, no any such issues with it. Also hv tried with clearing cache and data for music app too, no success. More interestingly, have also applied reset to factory settings, but still same. I think the only thing left to do, hard reset from boot menu, it will wipe everything.
Any other suggestion? before doing that are more than welcome.

just a thought, how about moving your mp3s to another folder using a file manager on the phone and reboot, it may pick them up that way
Yes, it did the trick.. not renaming the music folder or moving to another place using folder explorer app in the phone but created a brand new folder when connected to windows pc as storage and moved all my mp3s into this new folder, and finally it worked, thanks for the tip mate, it was so easy

even creating a new folder didnt solve the problem for me. seriously guys any way to solve this issue?
I am having an issue probably not rom related where my music player wont find any songs. I accidently deleted the Music folder on my android. I quickly replace it with the same exact name Music in the same exact spot and added my music back into it. Now it wont appear.
In application manager clear data and force stop. Then open the app again. It should rescan for your music.

Didnt work man. Still same old songs and no new ones being added. Ive tried all the sd rescan apps still nothing. About to do a full restore really getting annoyed.
reset. wipe everything.
Two other things you can try first. Find Media Storage in app manager and clear data there.
Try putting the music folder elsewhere and rename it music2 or something. May scan the new folder...
Otherwise, yeah, probably factory reset is the best bet.

One question do you have a sdcard ?
If so make a folder called music on your sdcard from your computer and place the music files in there and you should see your files then.

I have doubles, triples and quadruples of ringtones on my phone. A ton of these won't play at all. Is there an app or a PC program that can filter thru these for me? I hate to delete the entire folder because I have some I like. Thanks guys!

Have your flashed a new ROM on top of another one? Perhaps, old folders from another ROM is still on your phone which has ringtones from a different sub-folder? Try reflashing the ROM again with a simple cache/dalvik cache wipe.
I do clean installs on all the roms I flash. I guess I'm going to have to save the ones I like and delete the rest.

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.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.
