Hi, I dont know if anyone else is facing this same issue. The music player seems to recognize all media files including video mp4 files, it happens on stock rom and also on custom roms i ran. It also includes other junk files like ringtones and so on. is there any way to limit the music player to recognize only valid mp3 files or play files only from a certain folder? ive also downloaded a few music players like Apollo and playerpro and they are also facing the same issue. Thanks for your help

your Music Player will show every playable file in your phone.
atleast I don't know If there is anyway to limit music player to only show mp3 files..
The Alternate way I can suggest u that
place all unwanted ringtones in a folder and create a file
Named as ".nomedia"(without quotes) in the same folder.
This can tell the music player that the folder having ringtones have no playable files in it.
And the player will not show these ringtones.
u can do the same for mp4 files.

I installed the Asphalt game from the market and now there are close to 180 ogg files named raw* in my music player list. Is there anyway to get rid of them without unistalling the game?
I don't want to use some other music player since I like the default one's widget
Create a file with notepad and give it no name and the extention .nomedia place this in the directory that contains the items you don't want to be displayed in your media player and your problem is solved.
So you will end up this: ".nomedia" it's totaly empty but this is the way 2 go.
Worked perfectly.. Thanks!
Is there a similar approach to sorting images? The albums they show up in seem to be quite random. I'd like to define only certain folders to grab images from for the albums. I just can't figure out to manage photo albums at all.
i did it and worked at first but now i see them in music player. they are scanned again
edit: a restart fixed the issue and now they don't appear
Does it work with video files too? also wondering if it is anyhow possible to hide applications in program listing?
tried this, as my audio book files showed up in the music player, and it works...but...it also removes the audio book files from the audio book player! So I had to remove the .nomedia file again to be able to listen to my books
thanks! worked
I downloaded fun game called sniper vs sniper, which i really like. However It seems all my media players including the default one are picking up the ingame sounds as songs =/.
Does anyone know a workaround for this? I would like to keep the ingame sounds just not have the media player recognize them.
what media player are u using? i use Mixzing and it allows u to choose what folders to add musics or media to it from
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.mixzing.basic works better for me then htc or android player see if that helps u might like it better too
Place a file called ".nomedia" in the directories you dont want your media player/gallery app to index
I forgot about the .noindex trick but I prefer Mixzing anyway.

This does not seem to work with HTCs gallery and media player. Anyone else concur or am I doing something wrong?
Works for me with the stock media player and gallery, I hide my 'Audiobooks' directory that way which has both images and mp3's.
hello
i have defy running android 2.1 and he can't open any song !!! i don't know why
if i open song >>> There are no playable songs on this playlist
in the original music app and in the other
please help me
Where do you have copied your songs?
Which format did they have?
Stored mine /sdcard/mobile/music/actor/album/song.mp3. I have only mp3-files
all music i have mp3
and i have 3 files
file 1 bs album
file 2 gaga album
file 3 justin bieber album
where i should put it ???
On the sdcard in any directory. The original player should find the files in any directory, except in the directory is an empty file named ".nomedia".
I also have this issue, noticed it by missing several alarms, found that only built-in alarm tones work, as mp3 sounds are not played by any alarm clock, any media player (songbird, default media player, ...). If anyone has any idea why this happens, please send me a note, I'd be grateful.
Hello everyone! I'm having problems playing some music on the phone. I've used googles music app from market, default htc music app, and cubed player. They all seem to skip over all the songs. However, finding the music in root explorer will play it from there! They are mp3 320 bitrate... I assume not variable quality. Anyone else experience this? I'm on skyraider 1.3 btw. Thanks!
all the music players i've used work fine with my mp3 files. are the songs that get skipped in the same folder as the other files that work? the only thing i can think of is a .nomedia file is placed in their folder, which makes any media invisible to any media player, pics included.
try moving the music that isn't recognized to a different location and check again.
hi guys,
I'm on AOKP B31 with Franco r130 kernel
For some reason my music files will not show up in any of my music apps (google play or songbird.
I know the files are there and the only way I can get the music to play is to manually open the file through es file explorer and use the es music player. If I try to manually open the file and try using google play or songbird both apps will crash.
I've already deleted the one .nomedia file I saw in my music folder and rebooted the phone and I get the same problems.
If you need more info please let me know but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!
*Forgot to mention that I've also tried reinstalling the music apps as well with no success.
**I fixed it. Not sure what was going on, but i took my music files out of the music folder, deleted the music folder, then created a new music folder, transferred music back in, cleared data for both music apps, and now it works. Not sure what was going on....
Try rebooting your device. If that doesn't work install winamp or poweramp to see if the problem exists there to.
Note: m4v or other apple produced media files will not be added to play music or google based music apps. Poweramp and winamp do!
If you love google play music make the music folder on your computer stream it's media to google play online using music manager and play it on your phone from the cloud.
If you like to convert your media to mp3, ogg or flac (best supported on android)
Use a free program called foobar. I like it because it allowes me to batch edit music tags in most formats, batch convert them and because it's free without needing to sign up for anything.

Thank you very much for your suggestions but I've already fixed the issue.
As I stated in my updated post above, it was strange because I had to delete the music folder and create a new one to load the files back into. After that it worked as normal. Never ran into that problem before and I never expected to fix the issue with what I had to do.
Again, thanks though for your suggestions!
