Workaround/Solution:
1. Delete instances of .nomedia files in the root of your sd card
2. Go to Music folder-----Create another folder in the Music Folder----Move ur songs into this folder . Now the files would appear in the multimedia player and play just fine.
3. Similarly create another folder under DCIM/Camera and move ur pics into the new folder. They will now appear in the gallery app.

I would like to help you but I can't understand what you are saying.
What is "nomedia?"
What is osu-the music game? Can you be a little more clear?

.nomedia is a file that works disable the media scanning in android.
If the '.nomedia' is in folder, that folder disable the media scanning.
You see the page - http://osu.ppy.sh/p/about
osu need to many pictures and mp3 because of running games
So, If the '.nomedia' is not in Osu folder, their all files(musics, pictures) are scanning,
and therefore i can see their music in music app, and can see their picture in gallery.
If i put the .nomedia to Osu in android 2.2, 2.3, that files didn't scanning.
but, xoom it's not.
I used tiamat 2.1 hammerhead.
I'm having the same problem, rooted on stock Rom. Pictures still show up in Gallery although the .nomedia file has been used.
Is there a fix for this?
You should just be able to open your gallery, highlight the folder that they are in and click Delete. It will not delete the files. Just their entry into the gallery. Shouldnt show up again unless you do another media scan. Not sure what happens then. I usually just delete the folder after removing it from the gallery first. Never tried scanning again to see if they come back
Hi all, I have try using Google Music and Shuttle Music Player.. it's quite weird that it even detects my mpg files or my recording files which are store inside other folders ...
It's frustrating that I have to go through the Song list and start to blacklist one by one...is there a way around this ? I can't see it in the app Settings ...

This isn't a Google Music/Shuttle Player issue. This is how Android hunts for media.
To prevent any app from indexing a location that has media files (and by extension, showing up in any music/gallery/movie player app), you have to add a .nomedia file inside the directory that contains the files.
You can do this one of two ways; you can open a blank notepad file, save it with the filename ".nomedia" and set the filetype to "all types", or you can download this one which I made here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xat4bgykd5tugvl/nomedia.zip
Extract from the above folder, and copy and paste the .nomedia file into any folder that contains things you don't want to see in your media players. Then close Play Music/Shuttle or force close/clear data on them, and open them back up again. You won't see them anymore.
thank you so much ... that helps a lot
Well, kind of 3 months ago I discovered that my lyrics app (Lyrics Grabber) didn't find my music anymore, and magically it did find other audio files (Recordings, Ringtones, Attachments from Any.do, Whatsapp Audios). So I noticed that the "Music" folder is being ignored by the app; all other folders are found. And it's exactly the same with musixmatch, shuttle, nexmusic and google play music. So I assume that it happens to all the music players but... poweramp. It's pretty weird but it's so. The only music player that finds my music is poweramp. It may be because poweramp has an option to manually choose which folder are gonna be scanned but I don't know what's going on with it. Any ideas?
Note: I'm 16, and I'm learning to speak English by myself, so if I made a mistake or you didn't get what I'm trying to say, plz tell me and I'll try to explain it better

do you have file named
.nomedia
in the music folder?
You can check with ES File Explorer (or some other file explorer) BUT you need to enable viewing hidden files.
If there is the file .nomedia in the music folder - delete it.
The purpose of .nomedia is to exclude for example system folders from Gallery and music players checks.
it didn't work…

There was a .nomedia file, I deleted it but it didn't work. In fact, I'd already tried deleting .nomedia files in the music folders but it hadn't worked.
plz help me
hi all,
i installed an app named folder lock advanced from google play store to secure my media files. after installing it i added my media files in it after which it got encrypted and i was able to access my files only through that app...it was all good.
but the issue i have is that...when i first installed it and started adding my videos it added only few of them and left the rest...so i uninstalled it at once and reinstalled it again.
when i uninstalled it the video files which added at first got encrypted while the others weren't.
i reinstalled the app again and added media files again and this time the remaining videos only got added to it...the encrypted videos were left out...
i looked in some forums on how to run encrypted video files and renamed the file with .mp4 extension/ .3gpp extension and tried to run the file...but my video player says " cant run the file".
since i got pissed off real bad because of this chaos...i uninstalled the app again...now all my video files are encrypted because of it...i cant run the video file even if i rename it with an extension of mp4/3gpp.
In my SD card i got a folder named Folder Lock Advanced in which there are two sub folders. one folder has thumbnails of all the videos while the other had the videos in encrypted format.
please help me to fix this issue.
thanks in advance !:fingers-crossed:
