You can't add files to a playlist if the player app doesn't recognize them.
How did you add them, by copying them to the Music folder on your device? I sybc them to the device using Windows Media Player and have zero problems.
i had an issue with my first captivate deleting my music files too.
returned it and havent had an issue since
BUT that first phone was running rogers 2.2 stock. DID you just update to 2.2 stock?
i run custom now only

Hi,
I have a problem, when i try to update my library on media player it finds them all the trys to add them and it just gets stuck half way through?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jason
delete a hidden file
Sometimes the library gets corrupted. Try this
1. quit media player
2. open file explorer, and check "Show All Files" menu option
3. Locate and delete the folder MSMETADATA from the root (mine is in the root of the Storage Card)
4. Restart media player, and rebuild your library.

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
Soft Reset . . . . New AudioManager_Eng.vol will be created.
just one thing, get rid of that tab and use S2P
Hi all !
OK, first, don't ask me why I want to do this... because I want to do it ! I like to have things in the right places ! lol
I've created a directory in my internal storage in \Stockage interne\My Documents\Ma musique in order to put my music files instead of that's stupid Music directory in the root of the internal storage.
Everything goes fine with WMP and I can listen to those files. It founds all the files in its library.
But the TouchFlow Player cannot find them and always try to search for files when I go on the player tab.
I've found and changed some keys in the registry which seems to work with this player, but that doesn't work at all.
Here are the keys I have found and changed to my new directory :
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_scan_path_path
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_scan_path_path0
Any idea is welcome...
EDIT :
I've found something. Its the second key that matches the directory to search your files from.
Now I've the HTC Player Library with the music files and can play it, but there are some double entries for the same file.
I think the reason is the number of try.
Does anyone knows where the library database is stored in order to delete it and let the player rebuild it ?
Thanks...
had the same problem
i solved it this way:
opening library->all songs->start one song
after this i had all songs in the touchplayer...
it seems that its just showing the playlist, not the whole library

Is that what you want?
Thanks.
It was very helpful.
I deleted the database in Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng.vol
Also modified the registry.
If you set the same directory in these two keys, you have two time your songs in the library !
If you try to delete one, it is automatically created when you softreset the device.
so I have also modified the registry keys like this :
- HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_s can_path_path : /Stockage interne/Ma Musique
- HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_s can_path_path0 : /Stockage interne/My Documents/Ma Musique
As I have no files in the first directory, seems to work correctly now...
YOU'RE THE BEST; it's working NOW 'comme un charme'.
Thank's a lot.
Gallery still display pictures from the directory even though it has the file .nomedia.
I have cleared data from media and gallery, then reboot still has problem.

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"
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
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
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
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.
Hello,
my Xperia Z3 Compact doesn't recignize any music files in my internal memory (I don't have a memory card). I found out that as my phone suddenly stop ringing (I had some mp3 file as a ringtone). When I go to settings>sound>ringtone - I choose app I can pick the file through and when I choose walkman or any media player, there are no files to be chosen. When I pick the file via some file manager (I go to music folder and pick my song) I see all my music but when I pick some, nothing change.
When I start walkman I cannot play any of my music files - the app doesn't recognize music folder.
Firmware 4.4.4
Thanks for any help.
Did you try to reboot the phone? Other two steps i would try: 1. to install any other music player. 2 Reinstall phones firmware
