Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to stop it?
I keep getting random unknown music tracks appearing in my playlist and to make it worse they do not show up on my file explorer so I cannot delete them from there. Is there a way to delete music from within the walkman app itself?
Has nobody any ideas about this. 100 views of my post and no replies!

Check if you're missing some tracks you placed on the device, if so, then most likely they are the ones and need to be properly tagged with Artist, Title, Album name, etc. iTag is a quite good app to do so. If that's not it, I can't help you any further.

I'm using the default music app. I just want to stop it from scanning and
adding directories from the microSD card that contain audio files that are
not music. (the system noises, content of phone calls, other data
that isn't intended for it to read). These are all in their own directories,
so filtering based on source of content should be fine.
If that's not possibly could someone suggest a music app that does support
where to read from?

you can make a new text file with nothing in it, but without the .txt (or watever) tag, rename it to .nomedia (AND NOTHING ELSE), and place it in the directories you do not want found. i am pretty sure this is the method as i dont have my phone with me
EDIT: confirmed this also works with images that you do not want to show up in your gallery... comes in handy ;D
ahh -- the .filename (so its invisable) and its a flag to the app to ignore that directory.
I follow.
Thanks

I always get folders of images that show up in the gallery app, full of cached map tiles. This should be helpful. Do you know if this works recursively? That is, if I put it in /system, would the app search deeper into /system/app or skip all directories below?
Either way, I really appreciate you mentioning this, I was curious about how the scanning was controlled.

sorry about the late post. i wouldve replied sooner, but my laptop broke down.
(using my schools internet xD)
but yes, the .nomedia file hides the main and sub directories
maybe clearing the gallary's cache from settings>applications>manage applications>gallery
Amazing, thank you!

Hello,
Here is a solution for the issues with Google Music Player + Double media entries in the Gallery app.
If you see double media entries in the Gallery App and at the same time your Google Music Player doesn’t work, then:
1. Use a root explorer and delete external.db from /datadata/com.android.providers.media/databases/
2. Replace the Gallery.apk in /system/app with the attached Gallery2.apk and give it the right permissions.
3. Reboot and wait for the media to refresh.
4. Done!
Tell me if that works with you. Good luck!
N.B: I'm not used enough to this website so I may have posted in the wrong section. May a kind MODERATOR move the topic to the right section or simply close it, please. Thank you!

It's not an app issue though, it's a generic ics issue, general would be best imho

As rescanning all the media can take a while if you have lots of music (I got 12GB so a full scan usually takes 30-40mins), I've figured out a way to fix the issue without rebooting and without the need for a full rescan.
1. Go to /datadata/com.android.providers.media/databases/ and take backups of the external.db, external.db-shm and external.db-wal files when media is correctly scanned.
2. When this issue happens, goto Settings -> Applications and clear data for Google Play Music and force close Media Storage.
3. Restore the backups to /datadata/com.android.providers.media/databases/ and set permissions to rw-rw---- (in Root Explorer).
4. Run media scanner. (Lots of apps for that in Play Store)
5. Wait for a few minutes for Google Play Music to import the database again.
6. Done.
I don't think this works for the newly updated play music released yesterday the 18th of July? I erased my external.db files.. (they had numbers behind them not just external.db) but didn't replace the gallery apk as I am not getting duplicate gallery entries. Any one getting the new Google play music to work with out FC?

Sorry mods, double posted by accident. Please delete as I tried to delete myself but couldn't.
So i have following problem:
Lately i was transferring some music and i transferred some photos as album art in folder on sd card music-> and several folders that correspond pictures and artists..
However, all of those pictures are showing in gallery... How to remove them (only from gallery of course)?
Thanks in advance!
i think there is file that is called (.nomedia) will do the trick
when you copy this file into a folder, then the system will not show media inside..
i don't really know where is this file located but try to search for it in system folders..
another way (but i am not sure about it), try to make this pictures as hidden files
An easy way is to use the app Quick Pic
I always used quick pic until the the new jb gallery which is amazing, but certain features are missing,like hide,edit option with different applications,
If some dev could make a mod it would be amazing......

Try clearing the player cache, or check for a resync option. Maybe dropping a new file in will force it to update.

Hi, if anyone can help with my issue id really appreciate it.
ITS DRIVING ME NUTS
I believe this issue not to be specific to the HTC One but Ive never had it before.
The issue is that I keep getting random photo albums appearing in my gallery.
The photos look to be cached images, say from apps and that sort of things.
Everytime i go in and delete them and check back later, I have more.
Ive searched Google and cant find a solution.

That would drive me nuts... My gallery just crashes all the time after rooting and applying one of the roms
I had this problem too. Only way I could solve it was to press menu button at the gallery home screen and select show/hide albums. Select the ones you want to display and return to gallery.

Install quickpic from the play store and "hide" the folders with the offending images in.
They are usually from apps that have images in them.,
Once hidden in quickpic they will not appear in gallery
Just hide the album like duvall87 mentioned.
That's the only way.

Same here
I have the same issue this Cache folder keeps coming back and most frustrating part is that all these photos are uploaded to G+.
I have another issue as well with SD card. I delete files from External SD card and it keeps coming back this happens only when I copy some files from my PC to SD Card.
Anyone has any solution to this?

possible sollution
had the same problem, I browse a lot on 9gag ( images and crap), look at gallery and found aprox, 1700 images and 500 mp4 (gif) i browsed acros.
I just delete them every time but maybe this helps
settings---account/synchronise---google---( click your gmail account)---
when in your google account it says in syncs data from
-agenda
-apps
-automatic back-up
-chrome
-contacts-
-drive
-gmail
-google...
-...
-....
experiment with unchecking some of these like uncheck the syncs app data of chrome
If fixed it with installing ES file explorer and added .nomedia file to android/data/
Rebooted device and everything seems to work like it should...
No cache files in gallery
hopefully a fix
