I've been using Music Beta for a while now and it's always annoyed me that on my G2x after installing Music Beta I had two Music apps, the default and the beta, with identical names in the app drawer and identical widgets, playlist shortcuts, etc.
Now that I've rooted I froze the Music app that came with my phone but I'm wondering if there's a way to upgrade the default Music app to Music Beta instead of doing it the way I did it.
You can...you will need to do this after every rom upgrade/reflash.
Unzip the rom replace music, re-zip, then flash, or....
Copy/ paste with rootexplorer, fix permissions, reboot, or...
ADB push music.apk
Music.apk is in system/app folder.

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?
it's a pretty simple question. I have my ringtones (mp3) on my sd-card, now I added some (~4 GB) of music in another folder. All i want now, is a music-player, that excludes the ringtones-folder and only shuffles the music-folder.
I tried "instinctiv" and "music player pro", but both INCLUDE the ringtone folder.
Does anyone know a good player, that plays the music-folder only?
You should try Power Amp, 15 day trial is free in the market. And if you haven't organize things, I have a folder called Media on my SDcard and in there I have Music, Movies, and Audio. I have Notifications and Ringtones inside Audio. Haven't had any problems with ringtones showing up
Sent from my Sensation
With PowerAmp you can choose which folders to scan and which not.

Folder based music player = Mort player
try it, simple and awesome
thanks for answers, gonna try both.
All Good including Player Pro with it's widget.
it has that function too.
PlayerPro has a Folder Browser and you can set the Dir you want scanned for Music. I bought It because I am so used to the way my iPhone used to do music. I couldn't live without it (Genre>Artists>Albums). App is worth every penny!
Using stock music play from sensation. I made a folder called Music and dumped all my mp3s in there. Stock music player didnt play all the ringtones and such. Only the mp3s in the created folder.
in your SD card, create a folder "media", in this one create an other folder "notification" and put your ringtones in it.
i did this since the first day and my ringtones never appear in music player hope it will work for you
You can try MyMusicOn Music Player. Can configure it the setting to browse by folder.
MIUI music player works with folder view too. Not sure about the latest versions though..
Very good and simple player.
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
Hello,
I'm trying to move from folder organized music to playlists, but I would really prefer if I can back them up on cloud etc and modify them on 1 device (PC) then send them across all my devices.
I just have some trouble when I delete a playlist in Z3.
If I delete it from an explorer (SolidExplorer) the Music app (aka Walkman) doesn't forget it. Kill of media services, cache clean, data clean, media rescan with 3rd part app AND hard reboot have no effect on this playlist LOL...
My research showed me Android maybe using a file Music.db in data/data/ as a back up. Which I suppose is the root folder requiring a root access to be opened by browser.
Anyone can confirm this for me, since I never needed a root permission before?
I belive another issue with deleted mp3s persisting in Music app, untill reboot (media rescan wont help >_>) have the same origin.
Any workaround?
How I can clear old (missing) mp3/Playlist shortcuts in Music app without restart?
I have tons of music in a folder located at sdcard/music but my alarm clock app cannot find it nor can Google Music. What gives?

Alarm clock app will pull from SD/alarms, google music pulls from SD/music at least for me.. you looked in music library in google music?
Edit: did you grant google music storage permissions?

Yeah everything has permissions granted.
More backstory: I put a ".nomedia" file in my music folder because I was tired of my gallery being clogged with album art folders. I recently found a way around that so I deleted the nomedia file. I've cleared cache several times and still my alarm clock apps (which previously could find music in that folder) still cannot see any music.

Myabe in the app settings, you could choose your music/ringtone as alarm.
To avoid th art album, go to Android (or Android cache...) and put no media file on it. You can also search your music app cache folder and put a no media file.
