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 do I exclude folder on the stock Vibrant's music player?
I believe you can put a period at the beginning of a folder to hide it from being indexed from the Gallery or Music applications. (So a folder called ".Music" would be hidden.)

This is true. I tried this when I wanted to hide my custom ringtones from the music player, but when I did it hides the folder from the entire system. The result was I could no longer choose (see) custom ringtones from the system settings. I wonder if there's a way to hide files/folders from the media player while still keeping them available to the system sounds settings. On my mt3g, the media player ignores files in the directory sdcard/media/ringtones. On the Vibrant, the player shows all media files no matter where they are placed. Anyone?

I got around it by renaming my ringtones from .mp3 to .mid, seems the music player ignores .mid files.
But since the stock music player doesn't have a homescreen widget, i went ahead and bought MixZing, which lets you select what folders to play music from.

Thanks. I'll try that if I repurchase the Vibrant after Samsung fixes the GPS/Compass.

...and the .nomedia file it recommends placing does the same thing as putting a period in front of the folder title, thus hiding its contents from the system settings.
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.
On my SGP 4.2 I noticed that both the stock Samsung music player and Poweramp seem to "eat" m3u playlist.
This is what has been happening. I would put together a playlist (m3u) file then put that file into a folder called playlist at the root of the ext.SD and as soon as I disconnect from the PC and launch either players the playlist (the physical m3u file) will disappear.
In the case of the SamSung player the playlist will show up under playlist even though the m3u file is no longer there. In the case of Poweramp the playlist will show up briefly and then it playlist will show that it is empty and vanish alltogether.
The work-around I found was to use pls files instead of m3u files and the stock Samsung music player sees and works with the pls file without making it vanish. I stopped using Poweramp due to other bugs so I have no idea if Poweramp behaves the same way around pls files.
Question: does anyone one know where and how the stock Samsung music player store it's playlist (one that was created within the program) ?
Knowing that will give me more options when manipulating playlists.
Thanks!
I need help and this has been driving me nuts for the past hour of two. I placed 2 new music albums to my internal SD card (/storage/sdcard0/Music) and for some reason my music player cannot detect them. What I did is I checked the entire Music folder for any .nomedia but there is none. I downloaded a SD scan app and still the same.
The last resort i did is i deleted everything from my music folder and transferred everything again from PC to the S3. Now after doing that, the new albums appeared BUT one of the older albums is not showing! I checked the folder via Root Explorer and MyFiles and the album and songs are in my internal SD card. Like I said in my first statement, these albums/songs are located in just one folder.
Same result if I use the stock music app or a third party app like N7.
I am now frustrated and lost
I am currently using LI8.
Try clearing data in "MediaScanner" in the applications manager, and then rebooting. Give it a little while as it can take a few minutes to scan the entire phone.

Try putting the music somewhere else on your SD, before deleting caches and data... If that doesn't work, you can always just delete the cache of your music player, that usually works, but try not to delete the Media Scanner's Cache, that means it will take longer to boot and get to the launcher...
If you want, you could also just download Google Play Music, it's better than Samsung's Music player (Because Music Player leaves a second out of the music..) and Play Music is much smoother than Sammy's..
Try one of those and if it still doesn't work, do the Media Scanner Cache.
Anyways, hope I could help you!
You can also decrease the scanning times by using the SD watcher mod here:

Thanks! I'll try all the options provided and will let everyone know the results.

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?
