Music File Mirroring in ICS - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The ICS system seems to show duplicates of my music files, I first noticed this using my long time player Poweramp where I would see 2 of each file - in the Poweramp folder manager I will see my music folder in several locations, specifically in 5 places:
/mnt/sdcard
/emmc
/mnt/
/sdcard
/mnt/emmc
Not sure why the PowerAmp file system shows my music files in all these locations (I have a 32GB external MicroSD), but it does, and then why doesn't it show 5 duplicate files in PowerAmp instead of just 2? I have tried deleting the music folders from some of these locations and have lost the music files in the other places, so they are all linked instead of being duplicates.
What's strange is that if I look at my file system using Root Explorer (or similar file manager), I don't see duplicates of my music files?
Whilst I can resolve this in Poweramp's music folder selection tool, it isn't the case with other music players.
Anyone got some ideas on how to resolve this as it's a royal PITA if let's say I wanted to try MIUI - the stock player doesn't have the same folder selection ability that PowerAmp does, so I see 2 of everything.

I've got the same problem, i changed to meridian player because it lets you select the folders that it gets your music from. I didn't have this problem with Passion, only on Docs when i updated the other day. The stock player worked when i wasn't using DSP manager but when i applied some effects everytime i tried to open the music app it just rebooted the phone. So if you run Docs ROM maybe reflash and disable DSP manager.

[Q] Having a ringtone issue!

So Here's my issue:
I'm trying to put the awesone sound pack that came with the AOSPish rom posted a week or so ago onto my phone, which is now running a different rom (Nero's gingerbread look alike)
I don't want to put the tones on internal sd because I use the phone as my primary portable music player, and it's very annoying to have that stuff show up in the music player or DoubleTwist.
So when I place the files in /System/Media/Audio/*insert respective folder here* and reboot, the tones show up in the list for ringtones/notifications, but do not have spaces, do not play if selected, and do not play if I try to access them through ASTRO. The stock tones, however, do play through astro.
Now, I thought that this was an issue with the fact that I have a mac, and was getting file forks in there messing up the sound files. after zipping the audio files and unzipping with astro on the phone, This is not the case. the files play fine on internal sd until I transfer them to the system audio folder.
so my question is this: is there some ringtone manifest some where that tells the phone what ringtones are actually ringtones or something?
Thanks.

Looking for a music player with stock-like folder view

The stock music player in ICS had folder view, but it was unlike any other apps I've tried (PlayerPro, n7, Rocket Player, GoneMAD, jetAudio).
The folder view automatically showed every folder unlike others: in every app I've tried I get the "sdcard" folder, in which are then multiple folders. Since my music isn't in one folder or one place (especially because I have it on both external and internal card), it's a pretty annoying way of finding my music through folders, while at the stock player I had every single folder with music listed at once.
Now I'd like to get either a stock ICS player that would work on Jelly Bean ROM (Sentinels) or a music player that works similar to stock one. Thanks.

Try PowerAMP...it's the best,and it has folder view...you can even select which folders to select music from.

How can I get my phone to recognize ALL of my music and not just some?

I recently added all my music (roughly 90GB of music) to a Sandisk 128 GB Class 10 microSD. I put this microSD into my phone and my music players were unable to locate all the music. I don't know how, but at one point, all my music was finally scrollable. After some tinkering with the ".nomedia" file, all my album artwork showed up in my gallery. I've since then installed QuickPic to deal with that annoyance. However, I have been unable to look at all my music again. The majority of my music are in one big folder with no name in the stock music player. In Shuttle, every song in it is called "null - null". If I click on the album, Shuttle crashes. When I go to the songs tab, they're all there and playable, but are still under null-null and makes it very difficult to browse and select the music I want to listen to. When using file explorer (ES File Explorer), I can see all the artist folders in my Music folder perfectly fine. How can I restore my phone's ability to view my entire library of music?
I've yet to try deleting everything off the card, and then retransferring, but that's a real pain in the butt that will take forever and I would rather do that as a final option (though I don't know if that would even help).
I have tried deleting my music players' data and uninstalling/reinstalling them. I have tried restarting my phone and unmounting/mounting my SD card, but still no luck.
Oh, and I am rooted on QF6 Hybrid Nougat ROM on T-Mobile S7.
Have you tried another music apps besides shuttle to work with, eg. Poweramp, black player?
Any possibilities your sdcard is corrupted or something, I mean like incompatible file system, fat, fat32, exfat, ntfs that maybe not compatible with your current roms kernel?

Music on SDcard

I have a bunch of music on an sdcard and it was working fine, but I got tired of seeing all the album art in the gallery, so I used the app called Explorer to put a .nomedia file in the music folder, and the album art disappeared from the gallery, but then the music wouldn't show in the music app either. So I deleted the .nomedia file but the music still won't show in the music app. Since deleting .nomedia I've cleared cache and data in the music apps, rebooted, all that stuff. What to do?? I can still play the music with the music app if I go thru Explorer. If I have to I'll just rdelete the music folder and reload it from my hard drive...
So if I add the music back to the card from the hard drive it shows back up in the music app. Hassle but at least it works
I noticed the same thing with my photos, after deleting .nomedia they did not come back but any new photos added to the folder showed up fine.
Many aftermarket media players will let you set your music directory directly and ignore the .nomedia file, Poweramp for example. You can then use the nomedia file and still have your music.

Which file program did you use to create the .nomedia file? I use Explorer which is the non root version of Root Explorer, so I was wondering if that app kind of messes up your files if you add a .nomedia file.
first of all, if you are listening to any 44.1khz pcm file, you should not use the stock LG music player. It upsamples all 44.1khz pcm to 48khz pcm and creates audible artifacts. Neutron will work for you and ignore .nomedia. What it will not do yet is correctly unfold .mqa files and play DSD256 files. You should also consider using a photo viewer program that lets you choose where your pictures are located so that you do not have to bother with .nomedia at all.

I did it from a PC, I use solid explorer but it did not seem to work creating the nomedia file from that.

Extracting music files from Wynk Music

I use Wynk music app frequently but the app is very power hungry and lags a lot.
Is there ANYWAY at all to get the mp3 files from wynk so I can play them in another player?
I checked other sources and threads but they all seem either abandoned or not working.
I checked the app files and found what I think are the music folders ( each folder about 3-4 mb and the folder has the same no of items as all my downloaded songs ) but the folders have so many files named like (segment1... ) which don't have an extension (like .mp3) they just end like that and the system shows file type as "file". The files located in Android>data>com.bsbportal.music>cache>audio_cache
I'm thinking some app might be able to grab the Audio file as it is being played, assuming the audio has to be in an mp3 format while being played.
Or even some app that records the songs as they play and save them automatically with their name somewhere.
I have Android 5.1 rooted with magisk.
