[Q] Media folder on SD being read by Music app - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have a media folder on my sd card that has a couple ringtones and a few notification sounds and the Asus music player is listing them as music to play. My Galaxy S4 did not, it ignored them. I placed a .nomedia file in the directory but now android ignores that directory and it's sub-directories completely.
Has anyone else run into this?

I actually use a different music player that let me select the music folder.
Now does it happen to you that when you are playing music and you turn the screen on or off there is a little skip of sound?
It has happened to me in the stock music player, poweramp and Pandora.

MP3 Ringtone and Music Playback BUG - Need Help fix/confirm

So I wanted to use my Touch Pro 2 (sprint) as a music player. After trying a few music players, because I did not like touch flo 3d's, I stuck with winvibe. anyways I managed to MESS the ringtone playback up...
So what is happening now is: my phone will not play any mp3 ringtone or choose any mp3 ringtone. if I choose a mp3 file as a ringtone, sound, etc, it will not let me choose it (windows setting will not let me choose it). this doesn't mean mp3s don't work, I can play them fine on windows media player and the music player. it just won't play back as a ringtone in the settings and can't be selected as a ringtone.
These were the last two major things I had done since it was last working properly:
1) I did a file association in WinVibe to all supported files (mp2, mp3, ogg, wma, m4a, wav, wpl).
2) While playing back music, I made a call to my celphone (that was playing music) to see if the ringtone would go off causing the music player to stop.
It was at step 2 where I noticed this bug. since then I can't figure out how to go about fixing the problem.
any one experience this while music playback? what music player did you use and did ringtone function properly or interrupt the music player?
any help, fix, info, or comment will be appreciated.
additional info: I don't think file association is the problem. There are some sound files that are unaffected. it's the very few short alarms (which I think are all wav).
soft restart did not solve problem either..
What "setting" did you use to set your ringtone?
Click into Windows Mobile settings, then go to Personal > Phone, are you able to choose and set your ringtone through that?
doesn't matter, through that, the windows settings > sound & notifications or the manila touchflo 3d, settings > sound. they all don't work.
Most likely its the media player giving you the problem UNINSTALL IT

[Q] Samsung Media Scanner and ID3 Genres

I have been having an issue with my phone and my music. All my music is organized by Genre, Artist, Album. After I sync my music with my phone, the Samsung media scanner starts up and scans my 2 SD cards. I then go and start the stock music player and all of the genres of my music have been changed. I have triple verified that the genres are correct using MP3Tag, Windows Media Player, and Winamp. I have even mounted the SD card to the computer and verified that the genres are correct. It seems that the Samsung Media Scanner is changing the genres. I have tried multiple music apps and none of them except for poweramp recognize the genres of my songs correctly. Poweramp has its own built in media scanner, that is the program itself scans the SD cards and builds its own library. I am not too fond of poweramp and would prefer to use the stock music player. The funny thing is when I stick my SD card into an EVO all of the music genres show up correctly in the stock EVO music player. So the issue must be with Samsung's media scanner reading the songs ID3 tags. Does anyone else have the same issue, and is there a way to fix it? Also, how does everyone sync their playlists on their phones? I currently use windows media player to sync my music. I also tried syncing my music with winamp but that did not work either, even with the winamp app on the phone. I am currently using PhantomHackers Blazer rom, and I had the same issues with the stock rom.

Changed it up a bit, I hope that is clearer. No wonder I was not getting any responses.

I have also noticed and been very annoyed by this. I usually end up using the Google Play Music when I want to listen to my music by genres.... I would love to know if there is a fix for this.

[Q] Change default music folder to extSD for Samsung Music Player?

Hi all,
Just got a new Samsung TV (UA46ES7100), which is one of their smart TVs and supports AllShare. That allows me to stream videos, photos, music, etc from my Note 2 to the TV pretty easily, except for 1 small issue.
The only music it will stream is the music listed in the samsung Music Player app on the phone, which only looks at a single Music folder on the internal storage. No music I put on my microSD appears in the Music Player app, and therefore does not appear in AllShare. I've always used PowerAmp as my music playing app which lets you assign folders to scan so I've never noticed this, but I can't find any options in the samsung Music Player or AllShare that will let me change the music folder it looks at.
Anyone know how to get Music Player to look at the external MicroSD for music instead of its folder on the internal one?
I am having this very same issue.... Except I use spotify and it us really pissing me of that even know my phone is paired with my TV via Bluetooth... It does not recognize spotify
Real big bummer

Optimus g power amp music player

I'm using poweramp as my main music player but I'm having problems because when I install a game the music player adds the sound files to the song list. Is there a way to avoid this problem?
It's really annoying to be listening to some tunes an a car sound suddenly appears

I think poweramp can sort music by folder to avoid your problem
Go into the settings, and manually select the folders you want it to scan for music. By default, it scans the entire /sdcard hierarchy (as you noticed).
