I have a weird problem: On my OP3t, LOS 15.1, music apps do not find all my music files. E.g. I have a folder (within the folder "music") for an artist. Within that folder there are three subfolders, each for one album, each filled with .m4a audio files. Only one album of this artist is shown (no matter if I use the files app (audio), the music app, nor e.g. double twist. The files are tagged, the folders contain only the audios and one jpg (cover). The only difference is, that the not shown files have a higher bitrate. I have no google apps, no google services etc.
Is the bitrate for audio files under LOS limited?
Any other hints?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If I transfer music files to the Desire which are organised into seperate folders (directories) can I browse the music by this folder structure on the music player or can I only browse the music via Album/Artist/Genre tags etc that are embedded in the music files?
Thanks.
It'll probably depend on the app you use to play the music. They either work one way or the other. The basic Sense player sorts it by artist/album etc.
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 want to prevent all my audiobooks and other miscellaneous audio files from showing up in Google's Play Music app.
I've read about putting a .nomedia file in directories you don't want Media Scanner to index, but after giving it a try (both my audiobook main directory and in specific audiobook folders) I still see the audiobooks showing up in my list of artists, albums, etc.

Did you reboot afterwards? May sound dumb, but people do forget to...
Yeah I did reboot and Play Music still saw the audiobooks. Then I tried it an hour later (after posting that message) and they were gone. It seems like either media scanner doesn't run immediately on boot (I recall in stock versions it would run after boot but now with CM9 I don't see it) or perhaps Play Music has its own index that is based on media scanner and takes a while to update.
And I can confirm that putting a .nomedia file in a directory will remove its subdirectories as well.
I have a bunch of FLACs loaded in my foobar and that's how I listen them. I haven't found any easy way convert/upload the files into some cloud storage. I can convert the files to mp3 and then upload to Google Music, but it's a major pita. I want something that works on the fly. Anything like that exists?
You don't need to convert them, the Google music uploader will do that for you.
Or select them in foobar, choose convert and choose a folder in Dropbox/box/copy as the output folder.
Edit: typos.
I believe google music uploader automatically converts flac files to 320kbps mp3 files
This issue has bugged me for ages. Poweramp and Neutron both scan and find my whole collection with NO issues, why do most music apps, and Android, fail this simple task?
I just tried re-naming and moving some albums from a parent directory to the main Music directory. BAM! They show up in a simple music app now. So, you have your Music folder and only store individual albums within. Don't use artist folders with album sub directories. So simple a solution but nobody ever told me that when it's been mentioned on forums
