Delete music from TouchFlo3d music player

Okay so I have been starting to put my music more organized so theres not such a big mess when i try to find my songs. The problem is that when i delete old music i have on the device through file explorer, some of the files can still be played! I can't find the files but they still play on my music player.. And some of the deleted songs turn up as a (!).
Anyone know how to fix this?
Sorry for my bad english
I have been trying to figure this out too..

Music app

OK so I want to use the stock music app (music player) so I mounted my phone and made a new folder called music on the SD card(internal)
Is there any way to have it see only that folder? Rite now it shows all music on phone including ringtones. I normally just would run a shuffle mode.
Thanks

Yea I'd like an answer to this one to. I poked around a little but couldn't make it work.
(BTW OP GM for the win. Nice!)
Do you have your ringtones in a folder titled ringtones? I did this on mine and seem to remember them not showing up in my music player when I was using it.
I (and many other people with the captivate/galaxy s) have had issues with the stock music player, although not directly related to the issue you mentioned. I believe that Meridian does what you are looking for, but doesn't look quite as nice as the Samsung app. I can't check because I decided I liked the look of tunewiki better (it doesn't have the ability to choose your folders.)
Yes ringtones and notify sounds have there own folder.
I found a apparently that seems to do it pretty well. Mixzing. Only shows my full lenght songs
Still if someone know a way let me know

I'd also like to know how to fix this. I have stuff in my music player that's like... my photos? I don't want to use an alternative because I love the little pull-down interface on the locked main screen for controlling the native music player.
Oh this is easy. Just open notepad, choose all file types and save a file called ".nomedia" without quotes, and with period. Then put that folder in all places where you dont want applications to grab media. I put it in my ringtone folder and my gameloft folders (because gallery was showing game photos)

[Q]Music players can't find music folder

Hi,
I've just finished install the ROM CoreDroid, and I have issue with my music.
I created a folder "Music" on my SD Card, but neither of PlayerPro or the default music player can find my songs.
I've also tried in Documents\Music, same problem.
How can I solve this issue ?
Thank's
Thanks for choosing Coredroid! Music players working ok for me. Both stock and PowerAmp find my tunes. I created a 'music' folder like you.
Have you tried a reboot since creating your folder? Sounds odd but sometimes you need to force a scan of media before a player will see it. There is also an app that does this without a reboot called SDrescan. Give that a go and let me know what happens.

I finally found the problem. My songs were in .flac, apparently CoreDroid can't recognize them.
Putting .MP3 in "Music" folder works.
Thank you anyway

Click to expand...

It's not so much CoreDroid, but a specific media player which does or does not support flac. The stock HTC player has never supported it. I can highly recommend the purchase of PowerAmp. It can play flac files and is in my opinion the best player out there.

System sounds in Music Player

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.

[Q] Google Play Music: Kept Music

I don't like the Google Play Music application much, so basically what I was wondering was if I could play kept google play music songs and albums in another player such as PowerAmp somehow. From what I have seen there is no way to do this because google incorporates some sort of DRM in all of their music files, which makes sense, because they don't want people just copying and pasting kept music files that they didn't actually buy. I have determined the location of the saved music files to be in "root\data\data\com.google.android.music\files\music" if I am in the wrong spot please let me know. I have pulled the saved music files (MP3's) from this location but can not manage to play them in any music player. I also tried running them through a converter just for the hell of it but the converter instantly crashes when I try converting the file. I don't think there is anything that can be done about this but if anybody has any ideas please let me know!
not possible. stop trying
I don't think you can get them from your phone but you can most definitely download the songs to your computer as regular mp3's. You can then put them on your phone and use any media player.
on a desktop/laptop, open google play music. pick what songs you want, then press download. the downloaded songs that you got using google play music desktop can now be played in other music applications.
Even still...if you have not purchased the song, you cannot download it. All of the music in "My Library" that you've uploaded can be dl'd but not songs you randomly hear and "Add to my Library"
Unless I'm doing something wrong....
You can not download music on a pc unless you have purchased that music. On the android application there is however and option to download music to the device in a hidden location (root\data\data\com.android.google.music\files\music). You can download them, but like I said they are encrypted or have some sort of DRM incorporation so you can not play them anywhere but within the play music application. I don't think it's possible. I just wanted a few opinions on it.
