I have found that there is separate player column for audio! I amazed it's soo cool!
But while coming to MX player both audio video folders displaying in same folder display it is confusing which is video file and which is audio folders r files! Suppose if I get seperate tab for audio and seperat tab for videos then it will attract and it will be very easy to use! If this happens no one will use play music r other music players!
I'm looking for this Great Update Thank U MX Player Developers
Hmm, are you already sorting your files by folder? From the main file list:
Settings menu > View > Folders
Try that out.

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 have a collection of videos that are kid friendly and a collection of videos that are not kid friendly and I'm looking for an app that will present the list of kid friendly movies to the android user while blocking any access to the not kid friendly movies (or any other file).
Currently I have the videos in separate folders so I see this is really being a "restricted file explorer" or a "video player locked a specific folder" app - but I'm open to suggestions. Is there an app out there that does this?
Thanks!
You can use MX PLAYER... Go to Settings-->List--> Video Folders... Select the folders which you want to display... Simple... Or, you can create an empty .nomedia folder...

That looks like what I want...but this restricts MX Player as the kids video player and I like using MX Player for the non-kid videos. Is there a way to run MX player to be restrictive with a run-time switch?
Try a .nomedia manager on market (i only know Studio Kuma nomedia manager personally).
You can easily manage .nomedia files on your sd with it.
A .nomedia file in a folder prevents the folder contents to be scanned as media (could depends on your player app options too though).
You have to force a media scan once done.

Can you be more specific about what you want????
Hi,
When playing a video or audio file the following can be selected in the Play menu:
Loop one
Loop all
Shuffle
For playing audio there is one important option missing: "Loop all once". This would play all of the audio files in a folder and then stop after the last one. Right now I have it set to "Loop all" and this kind of works ok for audio, but I really don't want this for video. If someone sends me a video clip and I open with MX Player then this setting means the video will play on an infinite loop and it is very easy to home out and have it playing in the background running the battery down.
Also would be really great to be able to select which audio files to be played from a folder rather than just starting from the one that I select and playing sequentially down.

Not everybody will be always happy, this "loop all once" would be a good feature, but I never needed that, I dont even know an audio player with that option.
An editable playlist for audio files, this is good too but this is more a video player.
This feature could be taken to be added to feature request list.
If you long press on a folder and hit play, it will play all files in that folder.

It's also one of the the planned features of 1.8.x.
According to the developer it will be supported later via minor updates to 1.8

We regret to inform you that the playlist feature is unavailable at the moment. However, you can select the folders and files and start the playback from the menu or top bar to selectively play the files. Hope this information helps you.

Hello.
I had discovered a new issue in MX Player Pro versions 1.10.24-25:
now if an user clicks on an audio file with the popular .m4a file extension then MX Player Pro (v1.10.24 or 25) does not appear among a list of players, which supports this type of file.
Also .m4a file extension has disappear from the list of supported files in the settings menu of MX Player Pro.
So, now it becomes trouble to play .m4a files by easy way just by clicking on they.
Please, fix this new issue.

Have you recently cleared the MX Player data or reinstalled the app?
MX Player's audio player feature is disabled by default. So, it will not be listed until or unless you enable it manually from the Settings > Audio > Audio Player. Once it is enabled, it will be automatically shown on the list of supported apps.

You are right!
Excuse me please. And thank you for answer and help!
I have a suggestion to make this option switched on by default for avoid further misunderstanding and easy show users that MX Player can plays more but not only videous.

MX Player is more focused on the video playback. Currently, Music files are listed together with video files. Moreover, it may miss some common functions available on the music players. So, it is very uncommon to use it as a music player. That's why we have kept this optional.
