so my dad just started using his vibrant for music, and it annoys the both of us that all of the ringtones show up. I tried the .nomedia file, and that did work for the music player,
but it also made picking the ringtone for the phone impossible.
so is there anyway to do this?

place an empty file called .nomedia in the directories where the ringtones, notifications are.
I do as follow on the linux box
Code:
touch .nomedia
adb push .nomedia /sdcard/media/ringtones/
And so on

apparently you didn't read my post. I didn't use adb, but i created a .nomedia file, and put it in those folders. And it did work, they didn't show up in the music player.
however, it ALSO removed all those files from the entire system. If i go to pick my ringtone, they don't show up, not in the stock picker, or rings extended.
anyone have any ideas?
Back in the days...i had the same issue with the G1.....

I doubt if there is a solution to this, unless someone is hiding it from us. I also only know about the .nomedia file, but it does totally eliminate it from the system and not just from the player. The same thing with the picture Gallery - it shows all the icons and folder.jpg files also = VERY annoying.
As far as I know, it has always been an issue which I only have to live with. - any updates will be appreciated, please.

I use an appacalled ES File Explorer to do any file management.
the .nomedia files appear to hide files from the gallery, music player and video player apps when that "media search" occurs upon disconnecting USB or powering up. Doesn't seem to remove them from the system.
Using the file explorer above I can very simply navigate to and play/view any such media in with whatever player I wish to. Suggesting trying ES file explorer out.

interesting, i'll give this a shot. I know manually adding the .nomedia file through windows or astro kills it from the entire system, except obviously for file managers.
well i tried creating a .nomedia file there, same thing.
but i really do like the UI of that app, so i guess the best thing to do now is just put .nomedia files everywhere and use that app to find my ringtone.
The album covers can all be hidden from gallery by calling the files AlbumArt.jpg - Im still looking for answer to hide music from player

AS The thread title really.I have some audio books on my sd card which are picked up by the music player.
on my last Motorola phone it was simple to force the music player to exclude folders but I cannot d find a way in this one
Any suggestions?
Create an empty document with Notepad on your computer, then rename it to ".nomedia" and put this file in the folder you want to exclude.
If you do this it should not pick up any media from those folders.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it hasn't worked.
Should I delete all of the music from the library first? And if so how do I do it? Do I have to delete the Music from the SD card?
EDIT: Nope tried all of that and the audio books are still showing up!
Intetested in this as well...
Hi all, is there a way to have the HTC player read only the mp3 files in my "my music" folder instead if playing all my music and wav files that I have on my phone? I added a bunch of music from my library to my "my music" folder and it seems like a pain in the rear to add a playlist to only those files since I have to add them all manually. 300+ songs...ya right! If the player can read only files in a certain folder that would be great.

use itunes to make the playlist. right click on it and export as an m3u file, drag it to your music folder and use the all playlist
you can put them in a .music folder that would be hidden i believe from the player
Create a folder named. Nomedia add it where the files you don't want to show up like ringtones etc

Hi..
I am using Total Recall recording app's latest version right now.. All recorded clips are shown in stock music player as well as in any other music app I install.. Although there is a file named .nomedia in the folder existed all clips are shown still in stock music player..
I ever set the folder to hidden, yet clips are shown.. Is there any way they won't show up in stock music player or anywhere and considered to be hidden..
Thanks.
Create a file named '.nomedia' in that folder. It shouldn't show up after that.

It's explained in my op that there is a already a file named .nomedia in that folder yet they are showing everywhere..
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.
