Are there any music apps out there that let you pick by folder for your mp3s?
I love the pick by folder feature in the desktop version of WinAmp but have tried serveral apps for Android and none of them have the folder feature, not even our WinAmp version.
PowerAMP lets you view your music by folders...

I can't find it! Anyone can help?
The main list can only be viewed that way but you can make a play list and then change the order of the songs to whatever you want it to be
change the music app and get a decent music player (PowerAmp sounds like a good candidate) + extras!
In google music application chose folder instead of recent, etc...

What folder does my music need to be in? No music on my SD card shows up on my music player

Create a folder named music and put it in there. It should show up. If not, make a folder named media, then open that and make a folder inside media named music, and put your files in there.

What music player are using?
I'm using the stock music player "my music" I put my music on my internal and it wasn't on my music player so I rebooted and then they showed up

As long as there isn't a file called .nomedia in it, your phone should find music in pretty much any folder. That being said, if you're using the stock music player on ICS, make sure that MotoCast process isn't frozen. The stock music player is dependent on it for some reason, even though it doesn't appear to be the same as the MotoCast program that can be downloaded from the Play Store.
I have had all three versions of the EVO and have always been able to download free mixtapes with my phone and use a file explorer to transfer the files to my music folder and they were instantly in my player. With the HTC One I can download them and move them and even play them from e'sfile explorer but my music player never sees them. If I connect phone HTC one to my computer and put the same songs in my music folder they show up instantly... What the hell is going on? No SD card problem?
Appreciate the help in advance
You need to rescan the phone for media. There are apps for that. I think one is even called rescan media

If you are downloading legal music via mixtapes etc why not just go to mixtapetorrent.com and use the utorrent app to download the music. You can use utorrent to direct the music to the spot you want it on your phone. Thus no need for the file explorer etc.
Are you serious that this amazing phone requires a 3rd party app to recognize mp3's in the music folder? I can do that but it really doesn't click with how advanced this thing is. My old HTC phones didn't need that.
I have no issues with the Music player seeing music in the music folder..

No, it doesn't need another app to recognize the apps. It's just not triggering the operating system to rescan for media files. Android scans the entire storage on boot or between mounting the storage for new media files (pictures, audio, video, etc) and then adds them to the libraries they belong to. Certain actions can bypass this scanning for new media. This app I suggested manually tells the system to scan for these files. It's nearly instantaneous when you do it. I've had to use it before on other devices, you literally open the app and you're done.
For some crazy reason I can not get any of four albums to show up. Rebooted phone, ran rescan media. Even pulled one song out of it's sub-folder and put it straight into the music folder.

Do the file names have periods in the name such as in place of a space? What file type are the files?

Example: 08 Orianthi - Another You.mp3
10-orianthi-highly_strung.mp3
01 Lights Of Manos.mp3
From 3 albums that worked on my OG Evo this morning.
I had the same problem and after getting the music player to play the song it said the format wasn't supported. And these were songs I played on my galaxy nexus fine. And astro file explorer plays them fine too...

When i take songs from bluetooth , those songs r saved in bluetooth folder, when i move them to the songs folder they r not updated in the music app when i go to folders tab in music player , there is a folder named bluetooth which has songs but can't play them. And the new folder which i have made that is not present there either
So is there a way to trigger media scanner again??
In G.B it was automatic after every file edit or if we move or delete a file. But in J.B its not automatic. It only triggers after reboot.

There are widgets that do this. Or you can use widgetsoid to make them.

Is there a way to exclude music album art from the stock Sony photo app (Xperia T running 4.3)? Album covers currently flood my photo library.
Thanks

Doesn't this hide the actual mp3 files from apps such as Google Play Music?

Yes, it does hide all mp3 files also; not a solution.
As far as I know, there is no solution. I just use Quickpic and remove the in-built gallery/album app (or just don't use it, if you don't want to remove it). With Quickpic you can pick which folders you want to include, or pick which folders you want to exclude, or hide. A lot more versatile than the default Android app, and 10 times faster.
