Hello,
After testing a couple of roms I noticed that there is something wrong in the ringtone menu (in sound settings). Each ringtone is listed about 4 times. Two out of four are working, the other two do not.
The second problem concerns the music on my external sd card. I have got about 1.000 music tracks on my ext sd card. My music player (Poweramp) is telling me that there are about 2.000 tracks, while Shuttle player shows over 10.000 and Google Music shows something like 4.000. I checked the library settings in each player, so there are no other files, but the music of the music folder. Not all of them but a lot of the music titles and albums are shown two or three times.
Reinstallation and a full library scan by Poweramp doesn't do anything.
I am using Resurrection Remix v5.3.8, Android 5.0.2.
I'm pretty sure you guys know how to solve this. Many thanks in advance!

Is anyone working on a S2P type audio player for Android? One reason that I regret going to Android is the lack of any good audio players. Using Nemoplayer and it is alright...but I want my S2P!
Until then, can anyone recommend an audio player that DOES NOT scan then entire SD card for audio files? As much as I like my 1 second audio clip for notifications, I don't want it to be included in my playlist.
S2P was ideal because all music needed to be in the /music directory. Thanks ahead of time!
You can put an empty file named .nomedia (the dot is important!) in the directories you don't want scanned.
You have just made my day! Thanks very much.
Well, that fixed my audio player issue, but now that essentially is preventing android from seeing my ringtones. So now I can either have my ringtones or an audio player that will not play my ringtones. Any way of having both?
My ringtones don't show up in the Music application, are you doing something differently?
Try Mortplayer. You can even find info about it in this forum. It doesn't use the Android media database. It scans only the folder and subfolders you designate.
guags99, mortplayer is exactly what I am talking about. Thanks for the information!
For all those who prefer other players, try to put a file named .nomedia in the directories you don't like to have scanned for Android's media library.
MortPlayer doesn't handle that file since I think it's enough to point it to the correct main folder, so you could even use .nomedia to omit audio books from your favorite tag based media player and play them with MortPlayer Audio Books.
(Of course I hope many like MortPlayer, but of course folder based navigation isn't for everybody. And I didn't like to code the 5,000,000th iTunes clone...)
Edit: Oops, skipped an important post... I think ringtones in /media/audio/ringtones (resp. .../notifications or .../alarms for those) should be regarded even with .nomedia.

Mine don't either. Maybe it's a difference between different versions of Android?
Careful
Hey guys - be careful with .nomedia - you can loose all your media files due to a silly bug in Android...

I quite like btunes. You can specify which folders for it to look into. Ive just got all my mp3s in my music folder.
Audiobooks ive got in another folder and use an audio book reader for them so btunes works pretty well for me. Also like the interface.
The key to keeping ring, notification,and alarm tones from showing up in the media player is to have them in the correct folders. And there is where the "why didn't I think of that" comes into play.
At the root of your sd card:
alarm tones go in the "alarms" folder
notification tones go in the "notifications" folder
ring tones go in the "ringtones" folder
Now your phone will be able to see the tones and use them properly, but they will not show up as media files in any media player unless you tell it to look for them (some players, such as Meridian for example, allow you to exclude folders in the application setting).
Android Delight has a great comparison between Cubed and DoubleTwist. (can't post links yet)
Those are my two favorite music apps. Cubed was my fav but for reasons in the article (syncing, ease, etc.) DoubleTwist is taking over.
I'm using btunes right now. You select the folder with your music manually. I used to use Meridian where you also selected the folders. I changed because of a bug after an update, but that might have been fixed now. I like them both becaus you can skip, fast forward by swyping (best on meridian)
one of the best audio player is deadbeef. simply to use, GUI is perfect, sound is clear.
I couldn't find a thread here so I figured I would make one. I had this installed before and got rid of it for double twist. I decided to install it last night to see if it had gotten any better and saw that it had an EQ feature.
* Mood Player automatically fills your queue with recommended songs
(like iTunes Genius, but way better!)
* Passive or active feedback improves your recommendations and
automatically builds playlists
* Downloads missing album art and displays it in beautiful detail
* Home-screen widgets with album art
* Recommends new music to discover
* Artist biographies and photos

Been using it on my G1 and N1.The best music app hands down and now with the eq update it cant be touched.
Not a fan of the gradient buttons though
EQ seems legit..switching to Mixzing just for this.
I tried MixZing for a couple of days. After I uninstalled, some MixZing-generated .m3u files remained. They show up in my other music players, but I can't find them on the SD card (search and all). Does anyone know how they can be deleted?

+1 on this. Anyone know?
hey guys,
in Music, whenever I go to Artist --> albums, and select an album, it always shows the wrong album.
for example, in Artist ABC, there is album 1 and album 2. When I choose album 2, the track listing would appear for album 1. Then, when I press Back button, music app would force close.
I already tried clearing cache and rebooting.
any idea?
Use PlayerPro
Sorry, I haven't had that issue but you might try deleting any data related to HTC Music on your SD Card, clearing the app cache with your SD card unmounted and then reintroducing your sd card and trying again!
found this out last month. no real fix. I just use a different player now or sort by albums

Im having some mp3 issues myself,
Ive load some of my music from my PC and some of them arent even showing up in the list on my SD card.
theres a few that forceclose as well, im pretty sure the ones that ARENT reading are Mp3 format.
any ideas ? or do you guys think I should use a differnt player ?
but the fact that the music I transfer arent even showing up on my list ?
I recently added all my music (roughly 90GB of music) to a Sandisk 128 GB Class 10 microSD. I put this microSD into my phone and my music players were unable to locate all the music. I don't know how, but at one point, all my music was finally scrollable. After some tinkering with the ".nomedia" file, all my album artwork showed up in my gallery. I've since then installed QuickPic to deal with that annoyance. However, I have been unable to look at all my music again. The majority of my music are in one big folder with no name, or in Shuttle, every song in it is called "null - null". How can I restore my phone's ability to view my entire library of music?
I've yet to try deleting everything off the card, and then retransferring, but that's a real pain in the butt and I would rather do that as a final option (though I don't know if that would even help).
I have tried deleting my music players' data and uninstalling/reinstalling and restarting my phone and unmounting/mounting my SD card, but still no luck.
Oh, and I am rooted on QF6 Hybrid Nougat ROM.
Sounds like the files are corrupt. To test this plug your phone into your pc and try playing the music with a media player on your pc. If the music plays, then it is not corrupt.
I had a similar issue a while back and it was because my music didn't transfer correctly and some of it wouldn't play.
Hello all.
I carry a good amount of music in my phone (LG G4): Around 20 gigabytes inside the /Music folder in the MicroSD card. The music is in folders that may be for a single artist or collections of a type of music with various artists.
I like to listen to the music in random order. I have tried Google Music, the LG music player, Musicolet and Pulsar. They find all the songs and folders, but in all of them the "shuffle all" option misbehaves in the same way: It will shuffle songs between a limited number of folders (perhaps 3). It will not repeat songs (or seldom do it), but it becomes monotonous.
For example: I may get a song from The Beatles, another from CCR, another from Metallica and then a different one from The Beatles, a different one from CCR and so on. seldom picking songs from other artists until these are over.
It becomes very noticeable in long trips. I may re-open the songs tab and press the shuffle button again, but then it will loop over a different small set of folders.
Have you noticed that as well? To these apps share the same code or libraries, perhaps?
Thanks.
