Just got my Nexus 6 yesterday.
Got it all set up. I usually keep all my music on a micro SD card.
So I was trying to figure out where to pull it but cant seem to find a music folder. I have google searched this and havent come up with anything.
Thanks in advance.
I use explorer by speed software from the play store.... shows you root and storage.. Music folder should be under storage

There are many folders in the storage folder, but all are appear to be empty, and none are labled music.
Can I create a new folder named music and drop the mp3's in it?

That's exactly what you do. It doesn't matter what folder it's under. As long as it's on your phone it'll find the files.

Have you ever been listening to your Britney Spears, Daft Punk or Tupac and suddenly you start hearing files that aren't music (i.e ringtones, notification sounds, etc.)? I find it pretty annoying that there is no current method to hide these files from the music player, until now.
I would like to give credit to Scheff's Blend for this idea, and after tinkering with the the doom game folder on my memory card, I found a file called ".nomedia". Within that same folder was over 100 sound files for the game doom, BUT my music player was not reading that specific folder.
I figured it had to do something with that ".nomedia" file, and coincidentally it DID.
Instructions:
1) Download and unzip nomedia.zip somewhere onto your computer
2) Inside is a file called .nomedia, copy it into the directory of media files you want to hide
3) Reboot your phone
P.S. This also works for pictures and video files, BUT for newly taken pictures and videos, or music files added, a REBOOT is REQUIRED to hide them again.
WARNING: this completely hides the files from the phone, so they become unusable to any application until the .nomedia file is removed, and the phone is restarted. I know Scheff's Blend found a way to use those files while hiding them, yet I haven't. If anyone wants to help me out, feel free to.
I know a lot of people wanted to know how to do this, so sorry to any mod who notices I double posted, but I just realized I should have put it in this forum section to begin with. Feel free to delete the other thread in the "Dream" section.
Right on.
Another option that works is placing files you want hidden inside of a folder that starts with a period, such as ".hiddenfolder" or ".stuffimhiding"
Files and folders that begin with a period are considered hidden files by the Android OS and do not show up in Gallery or the music app
Thanks man..
was looking for a way to do this..

Thanks, thats good to know. But can they be used by lets say the dialer.apk as a ringtone?
I do the same thing with Astro. Like Dave said, keeping a folder with a dot at the front and anything within won't be read unless opened by Astro or renamed. This may not work for the ringtones, but its quicker than having to reboot if you just want to hide photos, documents, videos, etc.
I have problem where videos in folder w/ .nomedia get deleted at each reboot... Now using Cyan 4.1.11.1... Really weird. Each reboot deletes videos in those folders

ok thanks for the help
I have my music in individual folders on the root of my SD card and the music player picked them up on its own.
I created a folder on the root of the SD Card called "Music".
the music player automatically finds them.
I sync my play lists from iTunes using DoubleTwist.
Hello all.
Does anyone know of a way to move the songs that have been purchased from google music onto your sd card? This would enable me to use a different music apk to play and listen to my music.
I know it has the option to make the selections available offline. However, it would be nice to know where those files are kept. Thanks in advance.
better put some water on that ****!
You can download it on your computer then put it on your phone, or use the "avalaible offline" option then you can find the mp3 files on /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music.
The first option is easier.

This idea came to when i found nfs shift music tracks inside its data folder but not showing up in music app.
So you just have to move any media file inside
Android/data/ any folder with name like com.dailymotion......
thats it now check you gallery the file wont be their any more.
Note-Make sure the media scanner runs after moving the file so that it doesnt show up in gallery or music.so use Stock My Files app.
Note 2-dont delete the app in whose folder you have moved your files or else they will get deleted as well

.nomedia is the correct way to do it.
.nomedia folder can be easily opened by anyone if you have enabled show hidden files.but with this method only u know where are the files.no one can randomly reach deep down there

He is not saying about the .nomedia folder
He is saying that you can do that in any folder by pasting a file named .nomedia

didnt know abt that
I successfully transferred the original SD card's content into my 64Gb Sandisk FAT32 using the instructions on https://support.oculus.com/hc/en-us/articles/204363723-Using-Your-Own-microSD-with-the-Samsung-Gear-VR-Innovator-Edition but now all of the video footages that's found within the Oculus folder shows up on my Gallery.
Is there a way to prevent the videos from showing up in my Gallery without interfering with the Gear VR from accessing those files? It's not a big deal but there's 7 folders clustering my Gallery which gets in the way of utilizing my other folders.
Thanks in advance :good:

Try add a .nomedia txt file to the folders
I tried adding it to the Oculus folder and restarted but my gallery still showed the files :\
It needs to be on each folder separate and check if oculus software will still see those folders.

tried it for each individual folder but still no go
not sure what the difference is between the original SD card and my sandisk 64gb ..

What i did i found .nomedia file created by one of the apps and i copy that to folders like trailers, 360videos and more. Now they no longer showing in gallery but they are still accesible from oculus app. I have no idea what is proper format of .nomedia file so i copied existing one
