Have you plugged the phone into your computer and copy pasted the file over?
I am not sure where to start, how new are you to smartphones?

I am pretty new. I have not pasted the file over. I guess mainly I am just wanting to know what directory I need to put the file in? Do I need to create a directory? I have Droid Explorer working, and Root Explorer installed on the phone.
Ringtones:
path /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
ringtones. note, they must be of a certain size, I cant remember what, but it will tell you at the time of assignment
Notifications:
path /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
ditto to the ringtones.
NOTE:
/sdcard is what android sees it as.
When you mount it in to your computer, it will just be /media/audio/ringtones.
I'd also like to suggest Free application RingDroid http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ringdroid for on-phone editing of ringtones from sound files. Very useful, very friendly, works quite well.
The file directory is:
sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
You should be fine using the default My Files app and not Root Explorer. Make sure to convert the MP3 to a WAV file.

DO you have to use WAV? I use mp3s for my ringtones and they work just fine..
mp3s are fine. and no size restriction. i've used up to 5meg files. it only plays the first 30 seconds, but it doesn't seem to have a size restriction.
if you want a specific part of the song, i recommend Audacity. easy free audio editor
ok, I created a folder /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
I then dropped a 1MB MP3 into that folder, I then noticed in the notification bar that the media scanner had started. But when I go to the sound and display menu and look under voice call ringtones, the mp3 I put in there isnt in the list. How do I get android to add it to the list?
Edit: Nevermind. I found out what was going on. Android browser had downloaded the mp3 and for some reason gave it the file extension of .mpga Once I renamed it from *.mpga to *.mp3 it worked fine.
You do not need to create /sdcard, it is the main directory. I also recommend converting the MP3 to WAV.
why do you recommend it? there isn't any need to convert the file...is it just personal preference?

THE free trial version of audacity now overlays a "Voice Logo" on any file you use it to create - basically every 5 seconds you hear "AVS Media Demo"
i tried using it last night to edit the mp3 file from that samsung promotional video
ended up downloading adobe audtion 3, you get full use of the program, free for 30 days with no logo overlay
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.
Hey there, I have a problem with the play music, I want to set a time limit to the Audie files, because now it shows on the playlist call records for some reason.
Any idea how to fix it?

Play music is unspecific when it comes scanning device and it selects all files associated to be shown in the play music. Play music scans entire phone, versus some third party players which can be set to scan a single music folder for files. Since you have call recordings that are audio files and play music scans it, it will appear in playlist. To overcome this, you need a file explorer to separate the recordings and place .nomedia file in the folder so the phone skips them when scanning for the audio files. To create the file, go to file explorer, place all call recordings in folder (if not already in one), option to create file, name .nomedia, and that should work next time the play music goes to scan the folder to skip it. Make sure to close completely the play music before all this so it resets the playlists to not include them. If .nomedia doesn't work, you'll have to archive the recordings so the phone cannot scan them.
If you decide to use the .nomedia method then just know that you will only be able to access those files via file explorer.
Very annoying, tnx anyway.
Hello,
I have a few questions, I hope some one can answer them.
I would like to know if it is possible to set a video folder that is on a network or a web site. I have all my DVDs copied onto my server and would like to access them from my devices.
When I try to add a folder, via settings, it will not show me a network. If I go to Network stream I have to type in the complete url to the file its self for it to play.
Example: 13.125.44.133:4040/movies/61/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob
I would like to be able to see the directory with the list of folders that the movies are in and then select the folder and have the app play the movie.
Example:
Movies/
61
2012
After Earth
....
Maybe the only way to access to this folders its using a file explorer with the capabilities of accessing to network folders.
I was able to locate the file, like you suggested. I am using ES File Explore, it allowed me to save the path and also associate the vob files with MX Player. So now I have one more question. When I ripped my DVD's, they are just like on the DVD. There is 4 or 5 vob files numbered 1, 2, 3... When I select the first vob file and it plays to the end it goes back to the ES File Explore app and does not continue on to the second vob file. Is there a switch so that it will do this or will it just not do this?
MX Player currently has no built-in SMB share support. External apps like ES File Explorer only pass 1 file URI at a time to MX.
This has been previously requested before. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/nYpihpAVJq0/discussion
It's already on the feature requests list. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297
i see that there is a "back to list" i uncheck this and it went to the next file, seam to work.
Interesting, I didn't think that they would have changed so quickly to passing all the URIs in the folder. Well, good to see that you found a solution.
Related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/bug-report-video-button-lan-mounted-t2967882
An amendment to what I said above; MX still doesn't receive all the URIs, but rather does predictive requests based on filename, as a quickfix to this issue.
I use ES file explorer to do this, you can 'save' the location as a shortcut to the desktop of your device (long press on the folder, select save to desktop)
There are currently a few bugs with this in the latest version which i have my own thread about, subtitles dont load and some videos require software playback to prevent audio going out of sync but it works and works well in general.
Anyone using this feature could tell me how it works when there are 2 files - video and subtitles?

If the directory listing is enabled on the host, MX Player can get the list of files. So, it will automatically load the subtitle as we. Else, MX Player will try to get the subtitle by assumption (by just replacing video extension with subtitle extensions). But, it doesn't work everywhere.
So, it's better to enable directory listing if you are using a local server.
Hi ... I notice all my music / audio files are all in one place . If I open the Files folder and select Audio everything that is audio is listed, its nice and all but when I want to just listen to music I also get audio files which aren't music playing too. Is there application or program I can install which will separate music from plain audio files ? I know I can create a play list but I'm just curious if there a program I can use to do such? Thanks
using 3rd party music players like black player or poweramp have the option to filter songs from size or length

Soo put your audio files in a separate folder .
(Ex: Let it be like this "Folder" - "My-Audios) .. Move all the audio recordings to My-Audios folder . now open the same folder and create a new file and rename it to .nomedia (no capslock) ..)
Once done , all the audios in the folder won't be listed in any music player .
When u need them , open the folder and play each manually from file explorer . it's better to use Es file Explorer

This is what I thought I could do but it isn't the case . I already have my music with folder from the artist but once I try using their player all my music and audio files show up and I don't even see these folder, its all in one

Then 3rd party music players are what you need. The ones with the option to filter out other audio formats.

Yeah, but u should create a .nomedia file in the audios (an empty text file with .nomedia as name : dot nomedia) ... Later ur audio files will not show up in music player .
Poweramp has a different kind of sorting ,where u can filter to now show up which is less than 500kb ,1mb, 2mb soo on . u can try this too
