So, been downloading a bunch of sounds for my notification and ringtone sounds from the HTC Themes store. Annoyingly these were added to the list of folders included in Google Play Music app and I cannot exclude them so that I do not see them everytime I open Music. Please help me? How do I make it so that Music only looks for songs in my "Music" folder only?

That should not happen...
Alright, normally inside your storage you should have 3 folders: alarms, ringtones, and notifications. Every time you download a soundtrack from HTC Theme, it will create a folder "theme" (depends on its category) under these 3 folders.
Please make sure you have these folders. If not, maybe, I mean maybe, HTC Theme app cannot identify the correct folder and put the downloads into the "music" folder.

Everything is in its place, but those folders seem to be included in Play Music

That's weird. These soundtracks of theme, are they in (.ogg) format?

That's why. You have to format them into (.ogg).

Uninstalling just removes updates. I do not believe this. Why am I the only one with this problem? You do not have it? Others do not have it? But, why? I just downloaded these ringtones just like all the others.

I had already tried that before posting here. Doesn't work on Android 6, it seems.
OK, I found out that these files I am talking about are stored in the "System" folder under "Media". And I cannot cut the media files in them to another folder nor create ".nomedia" file in the media folder so that it doesn't try to find media in it (talking about Google Music). What do I do now? Why is Google Play Music scanning my System files ????

Copying the ringtones into the SD card folder enables the files to show up in the ringtones selection, they don't actually produce any sound. Seems like our phones don't like the .ogg file type, as my phone takes custom mp3 files just fine.

If you guys are viewing mediafire from your phone, use Google Chrome and switch to request desktop view and it will show.

Get foobar and Lame encoder - then drag the files into the foobar window and then right click on the files (select all), convert (to mp3), and walk through the prompts (you need to download LAME too - try free codecs dot com).

Just went through them and you might be dissapointed though - I've seen a lot better sounds on most custom roms...

Is this for the UI and if it isn't then how would I be able to install them on my phone? Thanks

hey
you have to extract the file on another route. Now you have to copy and move. for example if you are going to move ringtone move it to this route. /system/media/audio/ringtones. Notifications /system/media/audio/notifications. Alarms /system/media/audio/alarms. and ui is the same but do not quite understand yet that I have little in this. when finished reboot and then go to settings and you will see in the sounds. sorry I do not understand much English.

OK well I have the ringtones part done and I've copied and pasted the UI sounds in /system/media/audio/UI. Then I rebooted and didn't work. Did I do something wrong.

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?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
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.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
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
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
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

Put a .nomedia file in the Whatsapp audio folder and reboot.
Then profit.

No, you'll still be able to play the audios from within whatsapp.
They won't appear in the music player, though. That's what you want.

Try to download file manager app like ES File Explorer or Astro. You should find a create file option there.

If you asked me this looks very odd. But when I attempt to copy some music albums from my PC down to my Galaxy Nexus, something strange happens. No matter what I do all the musics get moved to the root of the Music folder although they are originally stored in separate folders.
I even tried to copy the files into a very different folder completely apart from the default Music folder but the same thing happens every time.
I wonder why is this happening?
I'm using an Ubuntu powered box.

MTP is known for it's buggy implementation. I recommend using adb for file transfers (see the link in my signature).

It doesn't really seem like a bug to me. It's more like someone's put it there intentionally.

Why don't you just sync your music files with your WMP to your phone? It's always working perfect for me. Regards

Because WMP supposedly doesn't run very well on Ubuntu.

Petrovski80 is right. WMP is not currently an option on ubuntu. I guess I just have to stick with command line for now.
So I added some songs to my sdcard under the default music folder and nothing is showing up. I've rebooted and tried Play Music, Now Playing, and a few others but nothing. Any ideas?
