This is driving me crazy. Does anyone know how to get rid of the ringtones from Google music without deleting the files from my phone?? Thanks
What folder do you have them in on your Internal Storage?

I had them in ringtones. I tried moving them to notifications and it was of no help.
what file extension are you using for your ringtones?

In my experience, Android always ignored the Ringtones and Notifications folders as music. Maybe you just need to refresh Google Music. Go into the setting and try syncing it

Most of them are mp3 or wav. Just tried ogg to no avail. I moved them all back to ringtones from notifications and it actually shows more now...

if you have root, move them to /system/media/
Create a empty file with name ".nomedia" in the same folder as ringtones. It will be not shown in play music

no no.. dont just stick them into /system/media/, put them in the right category(ringtones, notifications, alarms..) within /system/media/.

To be more specific, its system/media/audio/notifications and system/media/audio/ringtones. And if you put them in there, I believe they NEED to be .ogg files. Change the permissions to match the others in those folders and reboot.
That is the ticket. Change the permissions.

I just go into play music and select "not interested" on the ringtones, and it takes them right out.

Can anyone add lockscreen controls to this apk? Would be sweet. Works great otherwise.
I second this request, The new music 3.0 is amazing on my INC, very fast, no lag and the sound is louder. The dealbreaker was the lack of lockscreen capabilities.
If the guys at cyanogenmod can add album art to their lockscreen music app I'm sure somebody can cook up an apk with lockscreen functionality for this one
Lockscreen controls work fine on CM7 RC4! xD
would pay someone to get basic lock screen controls on this. Is it possible to use the lock screen from the stock player and add it to the new one?
Also when receiving a call the music completely stops and doesn't resume after the call is ended. You have to go back into the app to start the music again. The stock player stops the music, receives the call and once the call is ended the music starts again.
You guys do anything special to make this work? Keeps FCing whenever I launch it.
Running CM7 RC4
Thanks!

Is there any way to filter out ringtones/notification sounds either by file size or folder exclusion? Ringtones getting shuffled in with the music kinda sucks.

Don't have that issue on CM7 RC2, what I always do is make a folder called "ringtones" on my sd card and then put all notifications/ringtones in it. All the system provided ringtones/notifications won't show up by default, it's only the ones you add.

I changed the extensions to .ogg and it doesnt recognize them. Thats the ringtones I created that were previously .mp3.

I'm running SkyRaider 3.5 (4.0 soon) and am very interested in downloading that new music player. What stops me is the absence of locksreen controls (according to some posts here).
Does anyone have a solution for that?
I've got a few .mp3's that I used on my GS2 for ringtones and notification sounds. I can go into my contacts and assign unique ringtones from my Music library but I can't get the standard ringtone and notification sounds to change, these mp3 files don't show in their respective list.
I have them on my internal sd and even copied them to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications with no luck. What am I missing?

yes its that .ogg format that stops it from popping up in your list of tones......i still have not figured a way to convert to that yet. doesnt look hard though.
should just be a simple converter program and your done, i want to look into this as well so i will keep you posted if i find an easy way to do so....i already tried the obvious change the extention with no luck
I took mine and put them in the "system/media/audio/ringtones". Left the .mp3 and worked great. Hope this helps.
I just have my ringtones (in .mp3) in /sdcard/Ringtones and they show up for default ringtones.
I noticed it showed up after it "scanned for media" but I did this before I rooted and I froze whatever was scanning so that might be something to consider.

At first it didn't work but then I figured I might have to do a reboot and that did the trick. Weird that before I didn't have to move them into those directories but that's perfectly fine with me. Appreciate it.

SO now you can change the notification ringtone? Because i have Zedge app and have some tones that i hav set up through setting and put as notification ringtone but it still don't change it will whistle everywhere!
If putting the file in media works then i will be fine!
I've found that if you put your ringtones in a folder called "Ringtones" and your notification sounds in a folder called "Notifications" (in /sdcard or /sdcard/external_sd) the phone will allow you to use them for their appropriate purposes. No reboot should be needed either.
You can of course push them into /system/media... if you want though
So here's my issue with my HTC One SV :
Ringtones assigned but default ringtones ringing, I have assigned my ringtones (call, sms,email, calendar),all works OK, except calls where the default ringtones(the one for general ringtones) ringing instead of the assigned ringtone?
Have other two phones(Samsung & Sony) and no problem at all with same settings. Had tis in the past, never had any issues... Now remember, had this with my HTC One...
Before questions asked, here's the settings :
On SD card root created folder media and subfolders audio>alarms>notifications>ringtones.
As mentioned before, all tones are ok, except call/phone ringtone.
changed memocard, but same story....
Any idea?
Mine are on root of sd card in folder
/system/media/audio/alarms
/system/media/audio/notifications
/system/media/audio/ringtones
All works fine.

Ringtones work well for me, but I had a similar problem (don't know if this is the same reason) with special tones for my contacts using "Textra" (special SMS-app). I could solve this with a third-party app called "Rings extended".

I don't think I need an app for this. All my previous HTC's had the same settings and worked, only this SV is a trouble maker...

Try putting your ring tone in the /system/media/audio/ringtones folder then set the permissions to rw-r-r this is what i do with all my ringtones/notification tones. See if that works by making it a system ringtone. Also in settings then sounds then phone ringtone in the upper right hand corner theres an add button try adding your ringtone that way if the system one fails.

I am not rooted, so system/media ... access isn't possible. Switched back to Samsung couple days ago (nice black S3 GT-I9305), and have no issues at all with my personal ringtones & notifications.
I am going to sell that HTC as it failed me . If anyone interested let me know.

Hi,
can you refresh the link for the ringtones - the target has moved or been deleted. Thanks
Also can someone give file location for notification sounds and for ringtones in kitkat 4.4.2
Where can I copy the sounds to. I can't find the notifications folder for sounds on the phone.
Thanks
Ringtones link not working. Plz Update.
I have been trying to add some of the old sounds/notifications to my A32. When I add the sounds (ogg format) to ringtones, etc folders they don't show up as an option for selection. (probably because the phone is not rooted). With Solid Explorer I can Select the sound I want but it never sticks. I still get system sounds. Nothing seems to allow me to add my own custom sounds
Any help greatly appreciated

Yes the files are in the folders in internal memory, not SD card. When attempting to select the sound I am asked which app to use. solid explorer or media selector. If I chose solid explorer I can navigate to the folder and select the sound but it does not stick. If I use media selector then the sound does not appear in the list. I have rebooted after adding the sound just in case
