I just recently flashed Oxygen Rom and restored afterwards with Titanium Backup. Now i have notification sounds and ringers in my music player (stock google music app).
Can i just delete these out of the music player without having them disappear completely, so my phone can still use those notification tones & ringtones? Or is there a better way to remove them out of the music player.
I do have another question, when i restored with Titanium backup and then updated the Google Music app (icon is headphones), now i have 2 stock music players: 1 with headphones as an icon, 2 with the blue speaker as an icon. I don't remember it doing this with stock rom, it just replaced my "blue speaker" icon with the "headphones" icon.
Thanks for the help!

bump....any help on this? thanks
If you are talking about the custom ringtones, put an empty file called .nomedia inside the ringtone folder. I'm not sure about system's default ringtones, I've never seen them appear in the Music App before.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my question....unfortunately, yes its the systems sounds and notifications, not just ringtones, that are all showing up in my Music App.
It's just annoying to have all those sounds in your songlist.....thanks.
Anyone else had this problem before?

I am running AOKP build 39 on my skyrocket. The only issue I am having is all the system sounds, i.e. ringtones notifications, etc are appearing in any music player I download. I have place .nomedia files in everywhere I can find. I reboot, they are gone for a minute and the reappear. Help please.
Thank you.
I'm assuming you were on skyics earlier? Since you are using AOKP now, you don't need the systemui sounds on your external sd card anymore. You can delete sdcard/media/audio/ui. If that's NOT the case and the music player is reading those files from /system/media, then I can't answer your question. I already got myself into a world of sht trying to figure out how to get the music player to read what I want it to earlier today.
Also, if that IS the case, after you delete the external media audio, before reboot, go to manage apps and clear data for the music player and the media storage.
Hoping someone can help me get my head around using these .nomedia files for audio in ICS - I have a bunch of ringtones etc. sitting in the media/audio/.. folders with a .nomedia file at the top level so these audio files don't show up in my music player, but by having that file there, I can no longer set them as my ringtone/alarm/notification. How can I have audio files show up in the sound choosers, but not the music app?

I'm not sure if this will be applicable to you. In my phone, all the ringtones are stored in the folder /sdcard/ringtones and these ringtones won't get read by the music app that I'm using, which my case is Google's Music Player. My songs are all stored in the folder /sdcard/music, the songs in it show up in the music app.
Thanks wlteh, I'll give that a try and see how it goes I'd read somewhere that additional ringtones were supposed to go in the /sdcard/media/audio/.. folder, but maybe that changed with ICS?
Do you have separate folders for ringtones, alarms, notifications in the /sdcard/ringtones folder?
Hi all,
i can't add a notification sound neither mp3 or ogg.
I put files in many folders and can play it directly with file explorer but i can't set in "default notification sound" because the music app didn't see the file.
I've read many forums where they say to turn off filters in music app but i can't figure out how.
My phone is a xiami mi4 with miui 4.10.17.
Thanks in advance.
On the stock lg music app every audio file is displayed and played and thats the problem. I have a lot of games with audio files that show up in the music app and I don't want them disrupting the vibe (I also have my ringtones in a separate folder from music) so is there any way to hide those files and take them away from the music app (preferably without creating a .nomedia file) I am rooted
I had a similar problem with the music player and Gallery apps was pulling in the cover art as well.
Easiest would be to probably be to use a 3rd party app that allows you to specify which folders to search. It would likely be just /sdcard/Music and maybe /sdcard/Downloads. PowerAmp does this, I know.
Cool I downloaded Poweramp and it hides thing from the stock app too but I have a separate folder that I put my ringtones in and those are still visible and Poweramp doesn't detect it as a folder
I'm just setting up my MI 5S Plus and I'm used to using a custom ringtone that I always put in my music file. When I go to set the ringtone, I click the + at the bottom and what looks like some of my music MP3s come up but the one I want as a ringtone isn't listed. It's listed in the music app where I can search for it but I can'[t set it as my ringtone from there. When I try and add it from settings there is no search function that I can see and it isn't listed in my music. In the file explorer app I can search for it and find it easy but I don't see any way to set it as my ringtone. Suggestions?
Well I answered my own question. I couldn't set the MP3 as my ringtone from the music or file app that comes with the phone so I installed ES File Explorer, found the file, opened it with the ES Media Player that is part of the app, and there was the option to set as ringtone. So if anyone else has this problem this was the way I finally was able to do it.
