Has anyone figured out how to get rid of all these non mp3 files from playing on the nexus one music player? I hate skipping a song and hearing the Lets Golf soundfiles that are store on my SD card. Or any other game music files on the SD card. I just want to hear the Mp3.

put a blank notepad file named ".nomedia" (just like that, a dot and nomedia, no extension after it)
the app developer should have done it himself
Should I place this on the folder where these files are store? For instance If I want to get rid on the "Hot Shot Golf" one do I put that in that folder?

yes that should work fine
oh great! i hate when im working out in the gym all pumped up and all of a sudden a sound clip from HAWK comes on n ruins it -_-
Forgive me if my question seems very ignorant but....as the file is called nomedia: would this also work to keep (for instance) album art out of the gallery?
(tried searching for it already, didn't find anything so far)
As a noob to Android as well as the Atrix HD, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether I have to convert the mp4 music file format iTunes uses to mp3 before I use Welcome Home to transfer the music. I'd like to do this in one swell foop if you know what I mean. I also have no idea if I can transfer the ring tones I made in iTunes to this phone and if so, how do I do it? My phone will arrive today and I'm so excited to finally leave Apple and the closed OS ecosystem.
Also if anyone has any tips early on, I'd love to hear them. ATT has some good tutorials and the Atrix manual seems good too.
Thanks.
Have you looked into doubletwist?

Download Google music on your computer and sync with iTunes and boom music.. I have 30gb of music without having one song on my phone

My laptop runs WinXP and I installed Music Manager and it seemed very buggy so I couldn't upload my iTunes. I also installed Double Twist and it easily imported my iTunes music but all the files show the lock (DRM). Are you saying that once Double Twist is installed on my phone that the Atrix running 4.0.4 will play the music without any problems? I was looking at the online manual for the phone and I see that Moto/ATT offer the Welcome Home apps for both PC and phone so that also may be the solution. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to convert the music files in iTunes from mp4 to mp3 so that they will play on the phone.. Any ideas?
Thanks folks.. much appreciated.

Hi, i recently got the s3 mini and after putting some music on my internal 4gb storage in the already created music folder but the stock music player wont show them up, i have done a battery pull with no sucsess, sadly please help
Nothing, no one nada, please guys
Maybe you have a nomedia file in the folder. First check that, then try and see if other players find the music

There's no nomedia file in there also google play music picks up even less on my 2gb sd card, ill get winamp or something asap, just weird that it can't find it seems very weird, I'm running 4.1.2 I think
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..

I'm having the same problem the OP listed. No idea why. Same files my Evo had no problems with.

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...

I have thousands of music files on my SD card. The stock music player seems to only be able to access and read ( when in shuffle mode under tracks ) some of my songs , meaning the ones only under tracks heading in shuffle mode. A little bit of research made me believe that the reason only half of my songs are listed under tracks is that the rest are within sub folders on the SD card and not accessible under tracks to be played via the shuffle method.
Any ideas on what I need to do to make all my songs accessible for shuffle play?

I've just been extracting my albums to the desktop of my cpu. Then dragging and dropping the album folders to the SD card with my n4 plugged in.
if you dont keep your music in folders, then it will be easier for them to be read by all music players..
not very organized, but, at least all your songs are available all the time, with every player..

So basically I would have to dump all music files into one folder. Breaking up all albums and folders?

OK put albums in one folder and not make sub folders within a folder?

Sorry you are having such trouble.
My albums are each in their own folder loose on my SD card. Maybe this pic will help more.
You can see a rom, a pic, and the album folders

just remember, every music player handles files differently, so keep that in mind when you do that..
for me, I just dump it all on my sd card in a directory called music, and always play them randomly anyways, so there is never an issue with any player I use by doing that
