I have a strage behaviour on my diamon's tf3d music library, I copy my Albuns to Internal Storage/content/music, at first all went fine, the library updated with new files after powering on the device again, but the problem appears when I delete some albums directly with explorer, even after powering off and back on, the music library still shows the deleted albuns ...artists...song...etc related to the files that are no longer on the device, I cant find any library reset or something like that, and the info on the mobile wmp library is correct, so I cant understand where does tf3d music library info comes form.
Anyone ?
I am having the same issue. Any help?

You need to rename the follow file to "AudioManager_Eng.vol.vol"
Device/Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng.vol
Soft Reset . . . . New AudioManager_Eng.vol will be created.

I had that similar problem last time, get advice from SwiftBL and plus few tries . . . The conclusion is:
If Album Art embedded in mp3 songs, u might have problem. What you can do is copy all your mp3 file to InternalStorage/My Documents/My Music/xxx
xxx = Your individual Artist Folder, copy a jpg file(or the album art) rename as folder.jpg
Then do the following steps . . .
You need to rename the follow file to "AudioManager_Eng.vol.vol"
Device/Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng.vol

just one thing, get rid of that tab and use S2P
Hi, when you go into the "media" folder on your tab, is it possible to add more folders there then the stock photo, video, download?
Yes, its possible
And how do you do it?
Use the stock file manager "my files", or download astro file manager or efile from the market.
or use your pc/mac via usb
Using your tab only, click "my files" icon and navigate from there to wherever you want to place your new folder. Then use the context button to reveal the new folder menu, as well as rename and details options.
by the way, you might also be interested in a better media browser than the stock, use quickpic from android market.
also, if you add a blank file (usually a txt file) named .nomedia at the root of a folder which contains some files, the files won't get picked up by the media scanner and stay hidden, but will still be seen by file explorer like My Files.

Just put a full stop in front of folder name

Do you mean change the folder name? But this won't work right since some folders with default name such as "download"

I just rename folders I made like .picture and this will hide it from gallery. If you can't do it in default folders just move the items in your own folders.

Adding a file name .nomedia in the folder will prevent media scan for picture file in that folder, it is working in GB. After upgraded to ics it's not working.

Just make a new folder and put a fullstop infront. Copy your files into that. Simples

hmm, strange, same thing is happening with me, but only for newly added .nomedia files.
i have .nomedia files in loads of folders containing app specific pictures, and they don't appear in the gallery, but if i add a .nomedia file to one of my own folders it seems to be ignored by the default gallery, even though quickpic hides the folder as intended.
have you tried wiping the "media storage" data under application settings?
I have exactly same problem as your. After I cleared gallery and media data, only existing pictures are ignored. If I add new picture, gallery will show up again.
Did you perform factory reset after upgraded to ics?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
i've had ics since the german rom was released, and yes, i did a factory reset afterwards.
i have numerous folders with .nomedia files in them that are constantly being updated with new pictures by apps etc. and the gallery still ignores them, it only seems to be a folder that the gallery has already indexed, when i add a .nomedia file to it, the gallery still shows it.
just did a media storage wipe and the folder i put the .nomedia file into has disappeared as expected after a reboot.
moved another picture into the folder and checked again and it's still hidden from the gallery.
I think this is being caused by a change to the behaviour in ICS that triggers a media scan. I have an issue where just renaming a .nomedia file would trigger a media scan in gingerbread but does not in ICS, hence files in the folder are not shown in the gallery even though the .nomedia file is renamed.
I suspect this is the case here, that adding the new .nomedia does not trigger the media scan.
I am having the same problem, but with mp3 and wav files. I have many that are created by programs like Loopstack, Caustic and Audio Evolution that I don't want appearing in my music player.
What I found works, is if you create the .nomedia file on the phone.
Then connect the phone to a PC via MTP.
Rename the folder (I just add a 1 to the end).
Rename it back to the original folder name.
Disconnect the phone and it rescans and "recognises" the .nomedia file.
HTH,
Rich
I added the .nomedia file to my folder, wiped data from media storage (under applications), rebooted the phone and the files no longer appear in the Gallery.
This method only work for existing media file, subsequent new add media file will be shown up again.

.nomedia with images and music files
I think I've been able to solve this somewhat.... For those who have an audio file and an image(in your music folder) and you don't want the image showing up in the gallery but you do want it showing in your music directory(album art), you will need to go into the folder with the picture-create a folder(i call it 'pic')-put the image in that folder along with a '.nomedia'. Make sure that the music file is not in the new folder but the new folder is within the overall folder.... Confused? Music/U2/The Joshua Tree/Pic/Image and .nomedia file - Hope this helps
you can see images here:
androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/595398-nomedia-your-music-images-showing-gallery
It still shows your image with the music\artist in the media player, but now doesn't show in the gallery. You do not need to rename the music folder(like you would if you were just adding a .nomedia file) because your adding a new folder all together.
just clear cache as someone said and reboot phone.. good enough to have the .nomedia work with existing photos.. As mentioned when you add more you will have to do it again.
I have some jpg photos in this Gallery folder.
Presumably they loaded into the folder Via Google when I was online..
( All the photos were from my blog )
When I try to delete them, these messages appears.
" File type not supported "
" Cannot delete online album files "
File Manager / File Explorer apps do not display this Gallery folder.
Any suggestions how I can solve this problem other than a factory reset ?
Many thanks.
Recently brought a z3 compact after years of samsungs
On my Samsung I used to be able rename a image folder with a full stop infront of it and this would hide the folder and pictures from the gallery and alsothe pictures wouldn't show up to send if you were trying send a photo on WhatsApp/Facebook. If I wanted send a picture from this folder I'd go in the file manager rename the folder and after a few moments the folder and pictures were viewable/sendable again.
Is there a way of doing this on the z3? apart from connecting to a pc? I know my folder is there on my SD card at the minute named .images but it can't be found on the phones file komander to be renamed without the . So it can be viewable. Thanks in advance
just create a file named ".nomedia" without the quotes and put it on the folder that you want to keep out you gallery.
The images be accesible via explorer.
