hi, someone knows how to disable folder from adding o audio manager?
like .nomedia on android, or something else.
because i have all ringtones, and phone records on the list.
Good question.
Found this:
"Do not use the "Update Library" function in Windows Media Player on your Windows Mobile Device. This will add all sorts of audio files and sound effects to your media library from both your main device and storage card."
and this:
"Mobile Windows Media Player, when launched, defaults to showing the "My Device" library. You probably want it to open the "Storage Card" library by default. You can remove the "My Device" library listing option completely by deleting the following file: "Mobile Device\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\XMEMediaLibrary.mlb." This way, only the files in your Storage Card library will show up in Windows Media Player Mobile."

check here,
the registry trick does not work for everybody - maybe depends on the ROM version(?)
Simply hide the folders / files you don't want using Resco File Explorer or similar.
I was able to attch my HD2 to my pc and use windows file system properties to make the file folders hidden on my sd card that i do not want audio pulled from.

All my mp3 files are not being recognized within file explorer?? Properties still shows them as MP3s but I can't play them therefore they are not recognized as ringtones or songs
It started when I tried Nitrogen player but did not like it so I took it off and now all my mp3 files will not play. If I go through media player or S2P I can play them but my phone will not recognize any of these so it will not play them as ringtones anymore... I reinstalled Nitrogen and they can play through file explorer BUT still no ringtones... What the ... did I do?
I did a reg restore and and I removed all of Nitrogen through SK files search but still no go... Ahy ideas
Edit: I changed all my mp3s in the system to wmas and its working. i dont get it.
My guess would be that its screwed up the file associations on the uninstall. To re-associate, go to an MP3 file in file manager and open the context menu (either press & hold on the file on screen or hold your dpad button). You should get a menu with an "Open With Program..." option. Select that, choose "Windows Media" and tick the "Associate selected program with this file type" box.

Some versions of WinMo/File Explorer dont appear to have the "Open With" option. In this case you should be able to use an external file association program such as BadSchwii's

My HD2 just searches all storage card for any music files and puts them into library.
Some of them are ringtones and other useless stuff. So I don't want them to be in my music library
Is there a way to choose folder where audio manager should search ?
I'm not sure why your library is showing ringtones. None of mine ever end up in the library.
I had Fring and Talkonout installed on storage card. I both have mp3 files for ringtones.
I deleted them both from storage card and files disappeared but that is not a solution :/
Is there a way to choose music folder ?

i got the same problem. all music files show in my music library when i pressed update library. +1 on how to choose music folder and disregard the rest.
mine does the same. My HD2 came preinstalled with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game. The manila audio manager displays all the acc music files that came preinstalled... what a pain....
you can make HTC album to ignore some folders. Do the following:
Go to HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignore
and add a sting value with a name (choose whatever you want) and string (here you put the location of a particular folder)
So if I want HTC album to ignore My Music folder on my Storage card, I will add a new string value: name-My Music and string-\Storage Card\My Music
hope this helps
ah forgot to mention soft reset after that
Am I doing something wrong? I did a soft reset and still no exclusion from the folders I specified here:
Ignore not Ignored
Oh, should I rename that folder to ignore? Because my HD2's registry came like that with that folder called ingnored.
Maybe the TMOUS HD2 has the d added? Not sure why they would have done that.

Tap Library - Playlist - New playlist (for example playlist 1)
Tap playlist 1 - Add songs - All songs (on bottom of screen) - select all songs you need - Done
Tap 1 song in playlist 1. Music player will play that song and library will update to playlist 1.
I'm sorry about my English, I'm Vietnamese.
Good English! I understood great.
But, I did what you said about adding a playlist & adding songs and it seemed to work great, but then later I went back to play the playlist & nothing played at all. It is strange that this default player doesn't work anymore since I tried the playlist trick. In fact, when I try to find anything to play, the "Music Tab" just hangs and never populates with MP3s at all. I think I bricked my Music Tab of my HD2 (I don't know if I said that right but it sounded good ). Well, at least I didn't brick the entire phone! Now I am forced to use Windows Media Player for all music, which I don't mind at all, but it was nice to use the other player while on the road.
I may end up trying what they say here:

Well a lot of people noticed a problem with HTC Music tab. Library shows not only music but ring tones and other sounds. One way to stop it is to hide offending folders. One problem with that is if you hide for example ring tone folder you can not select your ring tones as they are hidden as well.
What I did is as goes. I have music on SD card, also there is tomtom, copilot and some other apps. I have hidden all of the apps that might have sounds so they do not show up in library. Obviously left folder with music not hidden.
That will take care of SD card.
For My Device sounds do steps below:
1. Start from removing your card and then going to music tab so it rescans and states no music found. (Skip to step 3 if you are starting from clean rom)
2. Go to registry editor of your choice and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng (for german it will be AudioManager_Ger)\Information
Delete all items in that folder. You will not be able to delete Information it self.
If you are on clean rom you will not even have that folder it is created 1st time when music tab finds music.
3. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config
In there change:
"device_scan_path_path" from what ever there is to \Windows
"device_scan_path_path_0" from what ever there is to \Windows
"ring_tone_path" from what ever there is to \Windows
What this will do is exclude all files in windows folder. If you have any files in my documents they will show up. I assume if you just put "\" instead of "\Windows" it will exclude entire my device but did not test it.
4. Soft reset, insert your SD card and enjoy.

I didn't want to do it that way, but it looks as if I may have to. I liked the first way better (...HTCAlbum > Ignored...)
(I removed "Music" from my Home Screen Tabs as there was no reason to have it there anymore)
I just create playlist and do nothing else. I needn't edit registry.

What phone and version of WM do you have?
I'm guessing that the 200+ files belong to apps that you installed on your SD card? If so, you need to use Total Commander to navigate to the /storage card/program files folder, and mark it as "hidden"...you'll still be able to see/use the folder (and run apps that are in it), but the music player won't index it anymore.
have u done these? click on menu - open files(choose folder) - queue up
btw, try using audio manager, nitrogen, or coreplayer. They are more user friendly

I am using HD2 WM6.5 rom 1.66.707.1(76641)WWE
The files is taking about >80mb, thats why i installed them in my SD.
I tried making them hidden but the player still had them added.

I've added some custom ringtones to the ringtones folder, but it's also showing up in my media player and it's annoying. Is there a way to fix this?

I just change the tags for artist and album to ringtone. At least it keeps them grouped together.
I just came across this from androidforums.com, posted by user keredini.
Get a File Manager (like Astro), mount the drives to your windows machine, or use the 'My Files' application to do the following:
Remember you have your internal SD card (the 16GB one that comes with the phone, it is located in the file system on the phone as \sdcard), and your external (removable) SD card that you provided (it is located in the file system on the phone as \sdcard\sd)
you need to create a folder on the internal SD card for your ringtones.
Create the following directory:
\sdcard\media\audio\ringtones
more than likely there will be a notifications folder in the same place, just create the new folder there. Move all your ringtones into that folder. Once the file(s) are moved, media scanner should run.
From there the ringtones will no longer show in the default media player (mine were also removed from cubed which is the player i use), but are still accessible when selecting 'Phone Ringtone' when assigning ringtones.

Sounds like the solution we were all looking for. Thanks to the OP!
Edit: I just tried it out, looks like it didn't work for me
I put mine in sdcard\media\ringtones and Music Player doesn't see them.

this worked for me!!!
backup the ringtone >
open music player and delete it from there >
convert ringtone to .wav (not .ogg) >
transfer it to phone >
you may need to open a file explorer and
manually open each sound to get them
to register in menus
reset your ringtones and notifications
***don't forget to reset sms notification
via: Messaging > menu > settings >
select ringtone
All I did was copy one of my nomedia files to my ringtones folder and they don't show in media player. With extended rings it doesn't interfer with setting it as a ringtone

I have tried the built in media player, doubletwist and also 'MixZing' I can't seem to figure out how to navigate to a particular folder to play an .mp3. What am I missing here?
I do not know how to do this from the player but here is what work:
Open File Manager (My Files)
Navigate to the folder
Double click the first mp3 file in the folder
File manager will offer a list of music players to play the file. The player will then proceed to play the files from the folder
In general, it seems like the use of tags in MP3 files is the way to go though.
Great tip! I never thought to use "My Files" since I normally use ES File manager, but that works great! Thank you.
So I am not doing anything wrong, these options are just not part of these players?
Im not sure I understand the question. Whatever files i have on my sd card show up in Video player/ Music Player, or whatever files the player is capable of playing, no matter where they are on the sd card.
The built in player doesn't have a file explorer
The built in player doesn't have a file explorer, but it should have all your compatible files indexed. It has an ok search function that you can use to find what you are looking for after you enter the app. click on the search touch button on the bottom right of your phone.
