[Q] Music App: Custom music folder selection - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have total recall working on phone and it stores call conversations on phone, the problem is the music player also adds them in available songs
is there any way to restrict music player to look under specific folders only for songs?

or, if there is anyway I Total Recall can store files that cannot be seen by Music app (media scanner)?

To select a certain music folder yourll need a non-stock music player from the market like PowerAmp or something like that.Stock players dont give you much choice.My ROM has a call recorder but it goes where it goes so not much to say there sorry.

Ubermusic supports folder playing;-)

Music player playing mp3 ringstone.

so annoying that music player put mp3 ringstone on playerlist and playing them with other mp3 songs. even though, I put mp3 ringstone in ringstone folder.
is there away to fix that?
Which Music player are you using ?
All mobile media player do the same thing. You shuold create a playlist for all your MP3songs (without your MP3 Ringtones) and save that play list. next time just simply play that play list. for WM Mobile when you cold start the app ( the app is not already running in the background of your system "check your task manager") there aren't songs on the playlist. From here your can create your playlist at this time, then play them.
Hope that cuold help you.
There's no real solution to this.
Some will suggest changing the properties of any music file you don't want to appear in the sense music player list to 'hidden', but that also means it wont be seen by other apps (I hid my ringtones and they no longer appeared in the list of chooseable ringtones when setting a ringtone).
The best solution I came up with was re-tagging my mp3 ringtones as artist 'ringtone' and album 'ringtone', so at least they were confined to one artist/album.
thanks for reply.
start doing playlist now.
how to hide your ringtones?

[Q] Managing/editing songs and playlists.

Hi, I would like to know if there is any way I can manage and edit playlists and songs info on my galaxy s2. I have tried using Samsung Kies but it dosen't have the ability to edit song info and playlists that are created with the stock music player in my phone. Recently after connecting my phone to the computer, songs added in my playlist have been disappearing and songs info are removed(like the ablum art,artist info etc etc), I used apps downloaded from the market to edit the info of the songs . So I would like to be able to save my playlist and song info on my computer somehow. My phone is also rooted but I don't think it is the cause of this bug.

You could actually. I'm using PowerAMP Player. You could also try it.
Thanks for the suggestion. However, do you think it would be possible to create a m3u playlist on my phone and import it into the stock music player.

That I do not know because when I create a playlist, I stick to whatever music player I am using.

Try creating playlists in Windows Media Player & then use it to sync with your phone. Works for Cowon Android media players, might work with the SGS2. This assumes you're using the stock music app, obviously; most other music apps allow you to create playlists (Neutron doesn't, but you can create Poweramp playlists & point Neutron to those to get them working).
Edit - This method works with Cowon D2/D3, might be worth a try if you're going to keep using the stock music app (would be easier to buy another app from Google Play tho).
"Player Pro" is another music app you can create playlists. It's a grate music player as well. once you create a playlist most music players can use it (according to my knowledge)

[Q] How to play offline music in default player NOT Google Play Music

Okay I purchased music using google play music. I can listen to the music offline with Google Play music, but my default OEM/factory Galaxy music player doesn't detect the music I purchased. Also I found out Google stores the files here:
/mnt/sdcard/android/data/com.google.music/files/music
When I went to that dictory I noticed the MP3 file was named 724.mp3 I'am able to point poweramp to that folder and play it but with the galaxy I don't see any options to force it to point to any directories. I like using the Samsung OEM player. Is it possible to get my default player to play this?
Funny thing is when I use root explorer to play the song it uses the Galaxy music player to play it but when I goto the Galaxy music player it doesn't detect the song.

if you use the play website rather then the app you can download it a certain number of times, just as MP3s. You may have to do that on the computer. You can allow download the music manager on your computer and it will download your whole library without it counting against your download limit... But you do have to download the whole thing, then add what ever album you want to your phone. I prefer to just get a big SD card and go this route. I just download and manage my own music, and think of the online copy as a backup.
Not a perfect answer, but at least a version of what your trying to do, if you were unaware.
GMusicFS is an option, but probably won't do exactly what you're asking either.

[Q] Some questions about how Google Music works

Hi,
I have a few questions about Goole Play Music All Access. Hopefully this is the right place to ask. Just to calrify, I have a lot of music from other MP3 providers, or from my CD collection on my device. I plan on keeping it that way, because I don,t want to lose the ability to play songs with different players.:
Does your choice of Thumbs up/Thumbs down affect Radio play, if the files are on your device and not on the cloud?
When you choose Radio Play, does it mix songs from your personal library (assuming they only exist on your device)and the cloud?
I have set up my Thumbs up list do automatically download songs to my device. If I "Thumbs up" a song that I have added from my library to my device, and the same song exists on the Google Servers, what happens?
Does the choice of High/Medium/Low quality affect the quality of the song saved to my device? If so, is ther a way to listen in Normal when not on Wi-Fi but to download high quality files to the device?
I would like to have the Thumbs Up/Down control on the lock screen. Is this possible?
I find the qality of sound of the Google Play Music app to be lacking (compared to PowerAmp, for example). What other apps will give me the same access to the Google Play Music All Access?
Is it possible, when playing songs on the device only, to skip certain songs altogether when using "I feel lucky?" For example, I have a lot of spoken word, or music backtracks that I don't want to hear in my shuffled songs. In other players I just put them in a separate folder and tell the player to ignor that folder, but that concept doesn't seem to exist in Google Play Music. Unless I'm wrong?
Thanks,
L

FLAC support default music player

Hi!
I can play FLAC files from within a file manager (EZ File Manager and Root Explorer). I get asked to use "Music" or "Google Play Music". Both work, but only a small music player opens!
But I can't get the FLAC files in the stock music player (in the list of music). Any ideas?
The FLAC songs are on external SD, but so are a lot of other songs.
Regards, Hode

You should probably download some other music player from Google Play.
Any recommandation?
I must say that stock music player is very good. Also tried google music with no luck
