Hello! A question for those of you using Winamp with your phone...
I would like to use Winamp to manage my music on my PC and my Android device (EVO). Is there a way to make winamp look ONLY at the android's "MUSIC" folder? Right now, it wants to sync every media file on my sd card to my PC. This includes tons of ringers, turn-by-turn nav audio files, etc. which reside in various other folders, not in the MUSIC folder.
TIA !!

Hi,
If I transfer music files to the Desire which are organised into seperate folders (directories) can I browse the music by this folder structure on the music player or can I only browse the music via Album/Artist/Genre tags etc that are embedded in the music files?
Thanks.
It'll probably depend on the app you use to play the music. They either work one way or the other. The basic Sense player sorts it by artist/album etc.
can a specific directory for music be set in the stock player?
I can't find an option and the result is that directories that have audio files (eg /dictaphone) are appearing as albums - even though the player than can't even read the format. Very annoying having to thumb through a lot of irrelevant directories. I want it to look for music in a single directory rather than the device as a whole.
Thanks, M1
i'd like to see this tweak too!!! i have my music organized into one folder. i don't want all the other sounds from programs or games or anything.
a solution is the .nomedia file put into those folders but it's time consuming if you have many folders

My audio book files are appearing as albums in the HTC music player.
I tried the .nomedia trick, but then the audio book files became invisible to the audio book player as well
another case of the usability thinking being skin deep I'm afraid.

I have an EVO and had the hero and both phones did this.
My only complaint with the phone is this.
I have my music stored in the media folder of my SD card
But also have my familys music in a different folder in my SD card.
I don't want their music to be shown in my music app, because I never listen to those songs, and it just makes it cluttered, plus some of the songs are kid songs.
Is their anyway to have music (mp3's) on the SD card but hide them from the music player recognizing them so they don't show up.

I had that issue way back with my G1...picked up a trick. Any folder that has audio files that you DONT want the music player to see, view the folder in explorer or some directory viewer and mark the folder as "hidden". You will still be able to see it and it's contents, but the music app will ignore it.
Create a file and rename it to .nomedia and place it in the folder of the music you don't want to see.
cool, thanks guys
As much as I hated iTunes, I could manually sync music onto my iPod Touch my dragging files directly into iTunes.
Most of my Music is on external hard drive and DVDs I've burned so I don't want to add everything to my collection just to sync the music to WP7.
Is there a more convenient way of doing this?
The most convenient way is to add the music to your collection. Then you can drag and drop anything onto the Phone icon at the bottom left of the screen.
I'm not sure why you believe doing this to be inconvenient?
Because like I've said my music is spread over multiple back up disks and drives. I don't want to spend forever adding particular folders/subfolders into the collection which in fact modifies the windows libraries as well.
I'm a bit confused. Is it that you don't want to add the music to your library. Or is it that you find it a nuisance to add the files to your library?
Whichever the case, I think the only solution is to add them to your Zune library. Don't know if there's another way to sync media to your phone. If you have stuff on an external HD, you can just select that HD drive letter, and it'll go through all the folders for ya.
Didn't you have to add them to iTunes in order to drag them over to your iPod?

Just use the USB mass storage bypass method and drag and drop the files and/or folders into the Music folder under Storage. All your music will appear in Zune on your phone.
Anyone else having problems importing music playlists ("m3u" or "pls" files) on Android 5.0.1 (Lollipop)?
Up until I upgraded to Lollipop, I didn't have too much trouble getting my music playlists on my phone. Most of the time, the playlists that I had created would just remain on my phone after an update. On rare occurrences when they didn't (ie: wiping the phone and switching to a new ROM), I would just copy the "m3u" or "pls" playlist files into the music folder of my SDCard, reboot the phone, and the Android OS would scan the SDCard during boot process and generate the music playlists in the internal format. This has not worked on Lollipop.
I have never understood why none of the music player apps on Android include a function to import and export playlists ("m3u" or "pls" files). This always seemed like a huge over-sight to me. For people like me that have hundreds of music files, and have created music playlists that we like to listen to over and over again, the idea of having to re-create them on a new device (or a new version of an OS) is a huge hassle!
I have found a music playlist editor app on Android. This app allows me to edit/modify them, but does not provide a way to import them into the Android OSs internal format (so that they can be played in other apps like Google Play Music), or a way to export the internal playlists.
Anyone know of anything that would help???

You have to convert the playlist to .m3u save it in a folder name playlist then Reboot the phone and it should show up.
Note:
When you reboot and check the playlist give it a few seconds for the media player to recognize the playlist. Hope this helps. Worked for me on my Galaxy Edge.
