What I'm assuming you mean is that the game music and sound files are showing up in your scrollable list in the music player, and not that the game dev was stupid enough to actually force the music files to be installed in the same physical folder your music is.
If that's the case there's a relatively easy fix. Create a blank file called .nomedia and place that file into the folder where the games music is located. You'll just have to mount and search the SD card storage to find where this is.
Once you do this the media scanner will skip that folder when figuring out what video/audio media to index on your phone.
Can I do the same to a cut scene in my videos folder?

Hello,
My quetion is, how do I change a default app? I want to use power amp, but the built in music player always starts. I tried clearing the cache (even used titanium backup as I have root) but no luck. Im fairly new to android but love this phone over my old iphone
Thanks for any help!

Try going to Settings > Applications. Then click the "All" tab and find music and clear defaults for that program.
Tried it. Same result its actually grayed out now

Freeze or uninstall original music app?
Sent from WinBorg 4G using XDA Premium App
Are you using a custom launcher? It might be that you just have a shortcut pointing to the default Music player.
No custom launcher. Im worried if I uninstall that the phone will no longer update. I read on this forum that the update performs a check on apps installed in the system folder. Can anyone confirm this? I would love to uninstall lol.

The default music player always starts when you do what? Click the music player icon?
Since you have Titanium Backup, look for Music and freeze it. Then reboot your phone. The music icon will be gone in the app drawer and it will be impossible to start the default app. If you ever need it again, unfreeze it with Titanium Backup.
Don't uninstall any system apps with Titanium Backup. As you said, problems might arise when it comes time to update. Freezing is fine because you can unfreeze.
If you're talking about the music icon on the home screens, press and hold the icon, you should be able to change what app it opens.
As an example, if I manually click on an mp3 I want poweramp to open but the default does. If I double tap home, the default player opens etc.

Lol now it says unable to open filetype after I froze the music app....WTF

Weird, so you're talking about clicking in an mp3 from the Files app right? For me it was also defaulting to Music. After I went to Application Settings and cleared defaults for Music, when I clicked on an mp3 again it popped up a dialog asking whether I wanted to open Doubletwist or Music.
Don't you get that choice?

Negative. I know, very strange

Maybe it's a problem with Poweramp not properly broadcasting itself as a music player. I just realized I have Cubed on my system and it didn't offer that as an option either. Maybe test it out using another app? Doubletwist works for sure. Use the demo to test whether it's an app problem or something else?

I just looked up some directions online, and someone, who also used PowerAmp, said they simply cleared the default and force closed the stock music app, then in the file manager clicked on an mp3 and the phone asked them to select a music player to use... None of my apps have the default selected currently, but I also can't make PowerAmp open when I select an mp3. Weird...
Lol I just installed doubletwist and it now auto launches this instead of poweramp. I reinstalled poweramp, same result. Funny thing is when poweramp is the only player, the icons next to mp3s match poweramp yet it still says unable to open file type..... WTF is going on???

I think it just sounds like a problem with PowerAmp then...I remember being able to see the Poweramp logo next to my mp3's in the file app, but the guy a few posts above said he had that and it still didn't work. But either way, when I want to listen to music I don't usually open the file app and go look for the mp3 files on my SD card anyway so...so maybe it doesn't matter. Unless maybe the auto headset settings get screwed up if Poweramp isn't default?
Yeah I had the icon but it just doesn't want to load poweramp. My problem is that I want poweramp to replace functions such as the music button in car mode instead of having to add another shortcut for example. Or doubletap home....

I'm looking for a music player that won't scan for music & use its own browser software... I want one that will allow you to manually browse the folders on your sd card for music.
Can someone recommend one?
oh schnap y0'z!!!!!... I actually found something that's as close as its gonna get(apparently)... its called Folder Player incase anyone else is interested.

cool beans. I like Folder Player more for its simplicity, but this definitly comes in 2nd.
MortPlayer is also a good one
They're really getting in the way of all the real music I downloaded so the question is if I delete the UI sounds from the music player, will they still be heard in the UI?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
Out of curiosity i wanted to see if it holds true. It does....... Im using the sony walkman apk as my player. I deleted a ui sound and checked in root explorer and it was gone. There are some players, miui for example that allow the user to set a size limit for audio files and wont add any under 800kb to the apps music library.

They release a new phone. Promise updates and support. Don't update and release a new phone 6 months later. Rinse. Repeat. Updates come when they've made enough money and are bored. Its just the way big company's roll.

Create a file called ".nomedia" where your UI sounds are stored. This should cause files in those folders to be excluded from the TW music player.

It will also exclude them from the system's Media Scanner. Everything stock related to media in Android uses the Media Scanner's database. Ringtone/notification chooser and almost all media players as well.
This is the exact reason why I refuse to use any media player that doesn't support Folders. I can tell it to look exclusively in a folder or folders for music, and it will ignore anything that's not in those folder(s).
Hi all,
Wondering if I could get some help please. I am having problems with my music on omega's Rom. I use the stock music app to play music across to my cars headunit but sometimes the app is unable to find all my music.
I have tried places the mp3s into the /media/music folder and also into the /music folder. It will find music that is in the downloads folder and will find system sounds but not the large collection I have placed on the internal memory.
Now this is not always the case as I have had the music app find all the music in the past but I have no idea what I am changing to lose them this time. Any ideas?
Also is there a way of stopping the stock app from finding all the system sounds or only reading from one directory so as to find only my music collection?
Cheers in advance.
