Seen this asked about in a couple different threads so throught I'd drop a quick answer to this issue that I discovered.
If you are using a third party music player on your PPC, like Pocket Music, and allow it to associate file types .wma and/or .mpg with itself, then custom ringtones stop working with the phone. You can still select the tones from the drop down menu in the phone cpl but will not be able to test them and the phone will default to a standard tone when you exit the cpl. You will have to unassociate them through the music player app setings and soft reset, thrn everything should work fine.
Hope this helps.

I know this is a hell of an old post but thanks. I came across this post when I was like after installing mortplayer and my custom ringtones were screwing up.

Greetings people.
Since my storage card is full with over 700 mp3's, audiobooks and stand up comedy shows, naturally when I navigate to the TF3D music player it lags. A lot!
It takes about 10-15 seconds just to load the music files, and another 10 seconds from the moment I hit play/pause/next till it actually starts/pauses/changes a song. Plus it loads all my audiobook tracks as well.
Is there a way to make the TF3D Music tab search under -only one- folder? For example Storage Card/My Documents/My TF3D Music?
I tried the solution posted here but it doesn't work.
Thank you in advance!
I love the net.
On December, I was searching for over a week for a solution and found nothing.
Yesterday, I searched for a minute and voila, solution found!
Quick note: Total Commander did not make sub-directories hidden as well. I had to mount my sd on my pc and manually set any folder I wanted as hidden.
It all works flawlessly now
Seems a bit excessive but I guess if it works?
I don't think I've ever had to do that with the ROM in my sig but if you aren't up for flashing a custom ROM, then perhaps this is a better solution.
I have one issue that turns into multiple ones: I've used the default [google?] music player and a half dozen others [currently TTPod] and despite is ugly playback, only the default Music Player recognizes all of my stash. the others all miss from 25% to 70% or so of my files.
why is that? if it matters the handset is a LG P509, runs well, is rooted, running modified stock Froyo.
I don't get my music the usual 'store' way: I'm a musician and fan of live sound, so I rip from various sources a lot of live music, render them as MP3's. The players will typically pickup the same bunches and miss the same from one to other, with the exception that none of them handle audiobooks well, or collections of voice/reading/spoken::; examples are I have two versions of Bible audio loaded and a couple of longish books on Audio: player-depending, some will ignore a lot but not all of these files [no pattern] and others will do various things like renaming/numbering the files, leaving them nameless [unknown - track 1, etc] picking up duplicates, identifying individual tracks as albums [again, some, not all, seemingly at random] and elsewise.
???? makes me miss my ipod.

what happens if u select a song(from the ones that dont appear) from a file manager? does it promp you to play the song with whatever player you have? or the file manager doesnt find them either?

Have to tried fixing permissions in rom manager?
Sent from my SGS2 LTE
you were one step ahead of me. i had not thought of that particular function but I was on the hunt for a good file manager and picked up ES File Explorer. [good app] Anyway, prior to that I went back to market and found a trial of a paid player called PlayerPro. it does the trick. found everything, and was clever enough to obfuscate empty folders. "Folder" view is not the default, but its not hidden either, so using that View everything was quite orderly. so that issue is solved.
I'm still puzzled, however, by the underlying technicals of why this occurs. it would be non-mysterious if there was some consistency, for instance, NO audiobook-type track would be mishandled as an "album", instead of "some are... most are not". And stranger still - CD's that I have ripped directly using a PC based tool have a fairly ordinary file structure [unlike ripping from streams or youtube, or audio tracks from vids] - those genre/album based products completely miss those altogether even though they are in subfolders under "Music".

Hey guys,
I've got an odd problem with samsung stock music player on my note 10.1.
Every playlist I add to the device is (dis)played upside down. At first i suspected isyncr, which i use to sync my Itunes with the note, to be the problem - but it turned out it is not.
I already did the following:
checked the m3u playlist isyncr generates with a text editor - everything fine
cleared data of stock music player
cleared data of "media storage"
created a playlist with a 3rd party player (amazon) => reverse order in samsung player, correct order in poweramp, player pro
created a playlist with samsung player => reverse order in 3rd party players (amazon, poweramp, player pro)
searched the internet and xda
asked samsung support for help - twice
Internet knows a similar problem with samsung fascinate without any solution, here on xda i found an old thread which i suspect describes the same problem on a different device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404735), but also without a solution or idea.
I can hardly believe there is such a bug in the stock music app and hardly anyone steps into it. I also find it hard to believe that samsung had this bug in Fascinate's music player, fixed it in the Galaxy S2's (which i also own and doesn't have this problem), just to re-integrate it in the Note 10.1.
Samsung support is not able to give any qualified answers and rather tries to force me to use kies (which I even tried, but despite its poor performance cannot help me with this problem). I will, however, try to ask them a 3rd time.
The Problem existed in ICS ROM as well as in Jelly Bean, which arrived about 2 weeks ago (XXBLJ9).
Any Ideas what I could try next?
If you read this and don't know an answer either, you can still help me by verifying the problem on your note 10.1 - just create a playlist with for example amazon mp3 (playlist, not album) and open it with samsung stock music player. Would be great, thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Oliver
Okay...seems like nobody has an idea how to solve this...no problem.
You can, however, also help me by just trying it out, takes about 1 minute of your time...is nobody using the stock music player and any other player?
As Internet isn't full of complaints, i suspect that it could be a configuration specific problem with my note. I am willing to wipe it in that case, but as it is not rooted i've got to restore its current state manually after that - which might take some hours So I just want to make sure that there's a chance that wiping helps me with my problem.
Anyone? Can (or can't) you confirm my problem?
Thanks and Greetings,
Oliver
Same issue on Samsung Droid Charge

Hi,
I have had my Samsung Charge since it came out. That problem has always persisted on my device. I find it extremely frustrating as the point of a smart phone is that it is multiple devices. I would like this to be my main music player as well since it has an external 32gb SD card and so can hold quite a bit of music.
I am not a developer (I do do technical support), just decided I am trying to figure out - AGAIN - why it does this. I just downloaded a trial of PowerAmp. Don't know if this might help you figure out the problem. Power Amp shows my synced playlists from Windows Media Player not as a Playlist but as a music folder under folders. So far I have synced just one playlist as a test. In the folder in powerAmp, it is in the correct order. In the stock music player it is in reversed order.
I paused in typing, and after syncing multiple playlists at one shot, the list in Poweramp is garbled. The first try created a single folder with all the songs from the playlist in correct order. Now with the sync of multiple lists, I do have a couple like above but the rest either didn't come across or the music came across but not the playlist. The stock music player also has just some not all of the playlists I synced. The music is all in reverse order.
To me this suggest that problem is with the implementation of the sync on the device itself, given you have the same issue. My guess is it reads and writes the playlist from bottom up. I think there is also a burrering problem since it never seems to bring all my lists over and if that happens only some of the music.
Hope this helps, would like very much to know if you find a solution. Samsung is close to losing me as a customer over this. I care less about browsing and connectivity and more about multi functionality. A music player that works is important to me, and am considering an HTC or maybe even an IPhone (!!!) next time around just because of this - and my next upgrade is in 60 days. I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS SAMSUNG!!!

Hi Oliver,
Just discovered that my Amazon MP3 cloud player has all my playlists I just synced (except one) and the songs are all in the correct order. This is confounding to me as I previously had the same reversed order issue in this player. Not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that I went into the file system dorectly and deleted all the contents from themusic related folders before doing the sync for that one then multiple lists. Not sure what happened with that one list, might be related to the fact that it is a custom CD mix ( old school club music, I need the beats for running!). Am going to try syncing that list as I really like the music that's on it. This would seem to contradict my thinking above though. Seems the issue is with the Samsung stock music itself, not the sync. HTC/Apple here I come...
Galaxy stock mp3 Player
I have Samsung Fascinate and it has the same problem with stock mp3 music player. Songs on playlist are reversed. I also tried a few other players but they are not convenient.
So as previous says we can use Amazon mp3 player and widget. It works good for me. It remembers when I paused and even after reboot. So decided use it. It doesn't interfere with other programs (I use in my car navigation app - Navigon). So its very convenient listen music and have navigation.
I'm running LolliGPE and was wondering if there's a way to get the ringtone trimmer back. I found "HtcRingtoneTrimmer.apk" on some download sites, but they all require security permissions that make me think they are spyware or something.
Anyone have a legit HTC Ringtone Trimmer APK that will work on Lollipop?
Do you have access to a computer? There are many ringtone makers/trimmers on the Play Store, but Audacity is a free (open source?) program that will let you trim mp3 files (among other things, it's quite powerful). What makes it so good is that you can find the starting point, and get real precise on the waveform exactly where you want it to start, so it's just right, and then set the length (30 seconds is good). And then you can apply effects, like have a fade-in, so your phone doesn't just start blasting your ringtone.
All of a sudden my sms notification sound doesn't work anymore. I try to look into it, finding out that the file is still in the Notifications folder and evetything, only to discover that in Play Music all my music library is also gone! Simply vanished! Of course, all the files are still on the device, accessible and playable through the file explorer (even with Play Music), but in the library they're nowhere to be found. None of them. Also, when selecting a notification sound in the (default, preinstalled) messaging app, I just don't see the 3 files that I myself have put in the Notifications folder.
I've tried re-copying the files to the device and nothing happens. Play music keeps telling me to copy music on my device via USB ..
I'm running Cyanogen OS 12, all stock, but this happend in medias res, so to speak, I've been using the OS since it finally came out. I've been looking for an in-call sound recorder though the other day and tried a few (none of them working properly), tried different settings in them. Might this have been the cause of my troubles? Also, please someone help me how to sort this out, it's driving me crazy!
Edit: I have now tried to reinstall Play Music and the BS Player, in hope that maybe I will have some drivers reinstalled and everything will turn out right. Well, it didn't.
This afternoon I found out that not only my audio files, but also my pictures and videos are not recognized by any gallery-software. Not the Cyanogen Gallery, nor the Google Photos app. Nor the camera app. I can still see all the files on the device (I have tons of photos) in the File explorer, but not in the designated apps.

Workaround/Solution:
1. Delete instances of .nomedia files in the root of your sd card
2. Go to Music folder-----Create another folder in the Music Folder----Move ur songs into this folder . Now the files would appear in the multimedia player and play just fine.
3. Similarly create another folder under DCIM/Camera and move ur pics into the new folder. They will now appear in the gallery app.
======
The above is at best a workaround and I still dont know why the stock media players and gallery wouldn't recognise files in the stock directories.
I hope some senior dev or enthusiast may like to shed some light on this issue.

Thank you so much for answering! I was almost set that I'd have to re-flash the rom .. which would be rather inconvenient, as it's my exam period and I really don't have much time.
Anyway, I was thinking - Cyanogen OS 12.1 OTA is just about to be rolled out. Maybe if I wait for it to come out, it would fix my base problem? I know it's not a clean flash, but still..

Do you think it would possible to somehow "reset" the existing .nomedia files? Or if I just deleted them, would they be (properly) reset even if I don't move my media files?
Just thinking Also, would you happen to know where I should look for the .nomedia files in my root? I wouldn't want to miss any.
Hi, I am on different phone and came here for searching same problem. Well in particular your problem, as suggested above, deleting .nomedia files will do the trick.
Download es file explorer and search for ".nomedia" and delete all. Then again perform deeper search and delete them.
Sometimes clearing data of media storage also help(settings >apps>all>media storage>force stop>clear data)
What problem I am facing is, the no media files are keep coming upon restarts. Very annoying and doesn't go even after restored to earlier back up...
Anyone who knows solution for this, his help will be greatly appreciated.
