I have many folders in my gallery of pics such as album art, game pics, splash screens etc which I don't want in my gallery. Is there an app or way to stop the gallery from watching certain folders. Also have the same problem with music and video where game music and videos show up.
Thanks alot

Create a blank file named .nomedia and put it in each folder. Everything in the folder and any folder below should be hidden.
Is there a way to that on my phone or do I have to do on my comp which is at home?

Check JustPictures app from market
A lot faster and more options than standard Gallery app

Its not really a lot faster but it does have options, its significantly slower though since it shows higher resolution/quality images.

you can stop the media scanner by command or by app (search in dev section)
I have a similar issue and I am going mad with my 1000s of media art showing on gallery. There should be a way to manually assign afolder for indexing.

Right, i like opt-in more as well, but nowadays it is opt-out everywhere.
What i did was putting empty .nomedia file in all main folders so media scan is fast now. Gallery and MP3 Player are of course empty now, but since i use QuickPic and PowerAmp as alternatives that allow opt-in, i do not care.
Before that i used Rescan Media Root to disable media scanning completely, but this had the bad side effect of loosing custom ring tones after reboot.
Hi, this is my first post.
Have my HTC One and I love it.
Use N7 music player and have come up with a problem. I still have 12GB of space left to store the actual music on my phone but when I uploaded a Korn album to be read bu N7 it is not showing up when I scan the relevant folder.
The only thing I can think of is that when you use N7 player and are looking at the name part of the album section there is no more room on the screen.
Could this be it?
Pinch and zoom to view the album view does no good either.
Can anyone help?
Cheers, Ste.
hey guys, just wanna know if im the only one feeling this way
i personally think walkman feels like an unfinished music player
no folder playing, no repeat option, no sorting playlist.
the infinte view and light effects are good, and thats the thing that makes still using it.
if we use other music player, will the light effect still play?
Press on the album art to show repeat option

Use Poweramp Bro.. No one can beat that.. Look is not a matter.. Performance is the real matter. Poweramp wins there

I've found the Walkman player to have the BEST quality sound.
if u click on album art then u find repeat button,shuffle button,favorate,button and fb like button

i'm totally agree with you :good:
thanks for all the reply.
i agree sony walkman has the best sound. the reason im not trying to use other msic player is because usually they have their own equalizer, and not all support the phone's stock sound effect.
manually sorting is way to tedious, i was thinking of having a sort button that ask how will u sort it, by artist name, by song title etc.

no, i mean in my playlist.
when i first create a playlist, i tick the songs alphabetically, but when the playlist is created, the song list was jumbled up, not like the way i added it 1st time. what i mean is, i cannot find a sort button to sort the music list in my playlist. there is only a shuffle button, and in the dropdown menu, edit playlist there is no auto sort, i'll have to manually sort it, n its kind of tedious.
thats why i hope there will be an update for walkman that can play folder so i dont need to create another playlist whatsoever.

well, dunno, maybe im too demanding
but im so used to having a folder playing option on my previous custom music player (on galaxy gio) so im a bit annoyed its not a standard on all music player
Hi people, I Am very dissapointed from Walkman for these two reasons: No folder choosing and no genre choosing for every mood that you are in a moment. Ihave Power metal folders, Rap, Drum'n'bass, Classic and when open Walkman its like one big chaos. What I'm do for that?
First make a new Playlist with name of wanted genre, after that I'm use other player with folder play option and put all folder in desired playlist. And after 5 min of work the chaos in Walkman is ignored and choose to play only that playlist with currend mood.
P. S. Sorry for my english, I am selflerner in third world country.
I'm not sure what you mean by "put all folder in desired playlist", but for me sorting genres as playlists worked. No need to copy any files anywhere. Just create a new playlist and add songs. I suggest doing it on computer using Sony's Media go software. It'll be a lot faster.

When you're on the main now playing screen, is there any way of accessing the rest of an album? Like on an iPod you can click on the album art and it brings up the other tracks you have in that album. I know you can go to search and then find the album, just wondered if there was a quicker way? I think pressing the album art in Walkman just brings up favourite, add to or the button that links to the song on Youtube.
Also, is it normal that when clicking on an artist in My Library, it takes a fair few seconds for their albums and songs to come up? Shouldn't this be instant?
Click the Queue button top right (next to the album title).

If you're using an SD card it may be a slow card. Get a class 10 card (minimum 10mB/s non-fragmented sequential write speed)
Try NexMusic. Best music app I've come across so far. You just swipe to the left on album art to get to the song list.

Hey, I really like the walkman app but I seem to have a problem. After syncing with Media Go (or transferring the music files manually), I noticed that some of my albums are not displaying their album art properly. I used a third party tag-editor software on my PC to make sure that all the files have the proper album art, but the Walkman app simply does not show them.
Media Go and Windows Media Player has no issues. Shows everything properly. Is this a problem with the app? Is there anyway to fix other than using a tag-editor software?
EDIT:
Force stopping the app and/or clearing the cache solves the problem. Now my collection is just as it should be.
Hi guys. Is there a setting for the Album app to capture only 1 album source (like DCIM)? Default setting is like all image files are shown like everything from screenshots to album arts from mp3s. It would be nice to select what folders to capture and show on the app. Is there a possibility of doing this or should I just use other apps?

Well, a workaround would be to use Quickpic and exclude all folders except the DCIM folder
Thanks biggie. I already got quickpic. But i really like album. I wish ony would make this a feature.
