Can I put my media like music or movies on the external SD and if yeas do I need to put them in a specific folder?
no need. Drop them anywhere you wish. Just for ur simplicity, put it in a single folder for ur easy management.

I noticed that the Gallery will scan the whole sdcard and internal memory.
How to prevent that?
Also, what is the best free app to manage pictures, videos, sounds, and all other media, in one place (app).
Thanks!
No way to prevent it. This is how it works by design.
If you want to prevent showing specific folders - put .nomedia empty file into them. You might need to reboot for this to take effect, or to kill Gallery if it's running, or to unmount and mount SD card.
Any idea what other app should i use to reach my mentioned requirement (without having to put .nomedia empty file to each folder on my sdcard)?
Hey everybody,
im wondering if there is a possibility to get the buildin mp3-player indexing my mp3 files on my external sd as well.
Until now the buildin mp3-player is only indexing the files that are on the internal sdcard, but not any of my files on my external sdcard. Do you have the same problem? or ist it a folder problem?
Thx in advance!
I created a folder on the External SD called Media, then within it a folder called Music, put All my MP3 in it and the media player sees them all just fine.
It should index your sd card.
Can you access the files via the explorer?
Check if its in there correctly.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
it is working out of the box for me
i dumped all my movies and mp3 files into the EXTERNAL SD card and the build in Samsung Music Player plays it just fine.
the only annoying thing is that it needed you to select which songs/album/artist to play.
so after spending a few hours finding another App, i ended up with this "Player" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081) App, you just select the folders you want to play, and it plays everything inside them all
so... very curois. i created a folderstructure like this sdcard\sd\media\Album1, album2, album3.
The buildin Media player is not indexing them.. so i opened my file explorer and navigated to sdcard\sd\media\Album1 and clicked song1. The buildIn Media Player is playing it.
After that i installed the "Player" from Allgamers hint. when i select a folder and want to play the songs within it says that the playlist is empty, sam problem if i only mark 1 mp3-file. "The playlist is empty"
So the only way to play my files on the external sd is to click them, title per title... Very strange. Is that a problem of the indexer? or my sd?
My Phone: XWJM7, rooted an OCLF
Thx for all your fast answers!
So i think my problem is solved!
Because of your hints i reformated my external sd with my phone, and now it works with no problems. All files are indexed, no matter what folder they are saved in!
Thank u all for tipps and hints!
Hi there,
I am having problems transfering music on to my LG Optimus Black.
I am not sure where to create a music folder so the default music player can see the music files.
I have created music folders in Audio and in DCIM and in the main menu and the music is on the phone but the it is not found by the default player.
Any help would be appreciated .
Kind Regards
Kev
You put music files (say .mp3) anywhere in your memory card, your player should detect it automatically. So there should be an error reading the memory card.
Try this : Settings >> SD card & phone storage >> Unmount SD card.
Then mount it again. Once scanning of all media files finishes ( You may be able to see the scanning progress and completion notification on top bar. ) you player should work okay.
Also try downloading different players from market. Do they detect your music files?
I'm not that sure but I think the SD already have a "music" folder? mine those, I put all files there and player automatic detected them, even if I have files at bluetooth>music or download>music folders still detect them with no problem

Well even if there's no music named folder it still works. I directly copied my folders from pc such as metallica and linkin park etc and I put it in "my favourite" folder in root directory and it works perfectly..
hi
I am using CM7 RC5.1
Is there any way for Music player to take songs from a specific folder and not other folders like Ringtone, Alarm etc.
thanks
I have the same rom and i stored my music in sdcard/media..
Music player shows only that files..
Music player detects all the sound format files from the sd card so i don't think there is any other way

You can use alternative Music Player app.
go to notepad in your pc and dont write anything just save the file with name .nomedia (with the starting dot) and save type as all files. then copy that .nomedia file and put in the every folder which you dont want to scanned by media player. restart the phone and check media player. i dont mind anything if you press thanks button
although this app is stable, I can't make a new folder in Music or d&d a new folder to music to rename and drop music into it.
IE: If I make a new folder and call it Luisa Sobral, I can't d&d to Music folder.
The only thing that works is to d&d her whole folder to the phone and delete the songs I don't want.
Any other ideas or methods?
Why not connect to your pc
Open the phone until you have the required file open and then copy/past the music directly into the phones music folder?
Seems like you are trying a bit to hard - unless I'm missing something??
