[Xperia U] Exclude songs in music player library - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

How can I exclude some songs in Xperia U default music player library?
Games songs that are included in music library really bother me.
Thanks for your help.

Put a file named .nomedia in the folder you want to ignore.

Thanks for reply. But, what if I want to exclude folders that I may not rename e.g. games folder?

Create a file named .nomedia and put it there. That's the file name, not the folder name.

Oh sorry, I read too quickly. I'll try it. Thanks.
Btw, does it work on every Android phone?

I'd also kilter to know
Ok, found a way. Use Astro to browse the files in the "Litening Wallpaper" .apk file. You can than copy the wallpaper file you want onto your SD card. It should appear in your gallery, like every other picture.

For some reason, I don't see those hidden/protected folders though I'm rooted.
/system/app/litening_wallpapers.apk
Than browse files, the images are in /res/drawable-hdpi-v4.

UberMusic Ignore Folder

Hello so I have UberMusic v1.1 as my default music player. I would like to know if there is a way for ubermusic to ignore a specific folder or a way to do it. Because I have a game and ubermusic is picking up the game files
Thank You

I would love to know if this is possible as well.
.nomedia file should do the trick
It ignores .nomedia files on my phone.

I just figured it out, and boy is it stupid. The .nomedia files need to be created before the directory is ever scanned and found to have media.
Here is the solution, and here is the relevant bug. I can confirm this finally works with UberMusic.

Sdcard Question?

Does Anyone know how I can determine which app is creating a Folder on my Sdcard? When I click the folder its Empty, so its basically pointless...
Thanks in Advance!
The folder is usually named something similar to the apk, so if you search through your /data/app directory you should see a similar name as the created folder.

Usually when you go in to the folder you might catch a clue of who they are and what app created them.
Many goes by the dev name or software name.

Normally when a software stores in the SD card, it will create a folder with its name or the name of the dev company that made the program.
This is not always the case but its what usually happens, and this way you may have idea of why the (xxx) folder exits

When I open the folders there all Empty, so I can't figure out which app there from? Plus the names aren't a match to any of my apps...

I see what you say, I have that in my SD Card too. Sometimes its in reference to apps I've had in the past, sometimes its just for caching that the apps use it. In some cases I've seen that they where there when I've had another phone and because I've been lazy on cleaning it, it just carries on to the new on.
I would say, that if they are empty, then just leave them there, maybe one day if you start fresh on a new phone or ROM then before you start up to phone just place the SD Card in the PC and delete all the suspect ones, you should have a fresh start without issues then because you'll still be reinstalling the apps and they will create the folders they need.

I delete them they come back. Theyre like spyware or something it seems and I say this because I haven't added any new apps in a long time but I remove these daily.. The newest one I was getting was z7logs which I came to find was from outlook but like I said haven't added any new apps on this phone in months... Keeps me suspicious.. Did you ever find anything out ab the myrecord folder?
Directories myrecord & myalbum
Directories myrecord & myalbum are created by the
"Easy Downloader" app and also the "Pro" variant.
Creating empty files with equal names prevents directory
creation. But uninstalling is the only way to avoid this completely.
Best regards

music apps doesn't detecting songs except poweramp

I am encountering a strange problem.any music player except poweramp doesn't showing my songs.but using any file manager I can able to play songs individually it's annoying me a lot.has any one faced this problem?pls help me
Wait for a while then check again or try rebooting your phone. Btw, what rom are you using?
Moving your songs to a folder named 'music' might work too
Delete the double post too

I tried gtr, oxygen, nightly and all except ics rom but problem is there with me present I'm using perfect peso 2.3.
Songs are in music folder only
Ok!, try to browse using root explorer, and show hidden files, and find ".nomedia" file to the folder where the music files are located and delete it. Now go to dev tools and selext media scanner.. that should do the trick..

hide images in galley

How can i hide some pictures (like album covers) in ICS gallery?
Thanks
In folder where is that pictures make new file with name (.nomedia).
Without ().
Just mew file, not txt, pdf or anything...just file with that name,
Also you can find that nomedia in gameloft games directory so you can copy paste it.

That simple? Just make the file in es and move the pics you don't want shown into it? I assume the only way to see them from then on will be through a file explorer?
