Hola,
Wondering if anyone has a suggestion for this;
I use Google Play Music on my Oneplus One, running Android 6.0.1, Cyanogen 13.1.2
I have a bunch of audio files I'd like to put on my phone, which are rips from a Foreign Language Learning CD course, that I don't want to show up in my Google Play Music app.
I would like to have another, separate app on my phone, that I can use only to listen to these language files.
Any ideas how I achieve this?
Thanks!

I used to be able to do this with pocketplayer in windows mobile. I just got an android phone today (G1, old but much better than my even older phone) and I wanted to be able to stream my music library to my phone. I already have the means to stream it to anything else using edna (http://edna.sourceforge.net/), which I managed to run as a service in the background.
The idea was to be able to access my music library on the phone's browser and then have it open the generated .m3u file using a music player. But I have yet to find a single music player for Android that can do this except maybe this app called "Just Playlists", which doesn't really work at all unless I download the playlist first. And it won't do that, it automatically opens them with the program.
So, I'm thinking of downloading subsonic to use as an mp3 server, but the thing is that I feel that it's unnecessary to have two mp3 servers running at a time. The only benefit is having it on my phone, but otherwise I can just use edna on another device, like a computer, and open the playlist files with VLC or Winamp.
Another problem I ran into with Just Playlists is that it won't preload the song titles/artists for the songs, so I'll be looking at the full URL waiting for it to scroll by so I can pick a song. This is if it works at all.
So, help? Anyone know of any apps?
Using CIFS to mount music shares
I've actually been trying to do a similar thing. I've been using cifs to mount my music folder onto my Desire. It seems like a slightly easier way to get access to the files than using edna, especially because it doesn't require any extra software.
I have been struggling to find a decent music player than can easily handle such a large volume of files. I'm using Winamp Beta for my music and whilst I can play files, I need to use a file browser to find the files I want to play.
I also can't find a way of playing the m3u playlists I have stored on my computer. I've used Audio Galaxy and this has the same problem (unless you're using iTunes). Subsonic has better support but it's pretty expensive.
has anyone found a working soultion for this yet? I have a set of m3u and pls files which are saved URL's of online radio stations, some from shoutcast, some from other sources that on Windows Mobile I used GS Player to listen to
Just Playlists seems to come the closest out of any apps I've tried to working but either gives me an unexpected error message when trying to open the file or it looks like it has opened it but I get no playback.
I've tried StremFurious, VLC S&C and I think one or two others but no luck yet, curious if others have a solution
thanks!
hey everyone. first let me explain. when cyanogen dropped support for wma on moving from cm6 to cm7 i was crushed. because im one of the odd people that have 2 computers. one is a windows media library which is a mix of wmas and mp3s and the other is an itunes library. which has apples formatting back from when i used an ipod. now i want all. ALL of my music on my phone. i have always been to lazy to cram all my music through a converter because that would take forever. well google music beta users. i have a solution for you. im sure many of you have already figured this out. but for anyone who doesn't have music beta yet or don't care. this may change your mind.
when music is uploaded to google music it it is converted automatically. but unlike doing it with some other program, the albums stay together and it all gets done at once!. 2 birds 1 stone. then go on your android device. phone tablet. get the music app. and wait for it to prompt you to sign in to google music. then hit menu and make available offline. check off all of your music that you want. and let it download! anything you uploaded in wma will play on your phone now because google did the converting dirty work for you
I have not tired this with itunes yet. but being music beta supports it im assuming this works with many more unsupported formats other then wma.
i hope this helps some people. i know it would help me
Excellent news, thanks for the heads up. I am gonna side load the apk now.
I live in the UK and we have to side load at the moment.
hey guys i am new to android and just recently got a Samsung Galaxy S3 on contract and the main problem that i am facing right now is with the system music app, i have some music, audio lectures and ringtones, and the problem is that the android music detects(reads) all those three audios files in one app and i find it really annoying because i dont want them to be mixed. in iOS (iPhone) there are some apps that you can just drag your audio into that app and it will only play those files within that app. meaning it was easy for me to sync my music to iOS music player and put the lecture in another app. i could not find such an app or feature in android.
so are there any apps or trick to do that. any help would be appreciated
thanks
Hi all,
on Android, Google Play Music (which received a pretty new GUI in v5) will scan all folders on the device for audio files. The result is that it does not only show my music (stored in a /Music folder) but all other audio files too, including voice directions for my SatNav etc.
Which is pretty annoying because a random play will eventually blare "right turn ahead" through my headphones.
Is there any way to tell Play Music to look into one local folder only?
Forgive me if this is a stupid question. Help is much appreciated.
And yes, I'm aware that there are 3rd party alternatives to Play Music. I'd just like to know.
Many thanks,
N.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'd like to know as well, is there any way to do this?
This would be VERY useful for use with Chromecast.
Hello all.
I have an LG G4 in which I carry lots of music. Recently I got a language course in MP3 and I'd like to listen to it while in the car or commuting.
My concern is that if I store the language course files as usual, even if I use a playlist for them, they will play in between the music files whenever I play my music at random (which is what I mostly do).
Is there a way to separate the language course MP3 from the music files, and play them separately, so that the phone won't integrate them to the music library but still be able to play them?
Thanks a lot.
