Hi,
My Nubia X arrived 2 days ago, i didn't check that there was no google play store beforehand so pretty gutted that i can't use my normal apps to listen to music (paid for poweramp) and now just the patient wait for international rom so i can get my apps. I use aptoide at the moment and chrome broswer works so good enough until the international rom.
I transferred 60gb of my music over last night. Attached the Nubia X to my laptop and placed in the music folder that showed up in the root when selecting transmit files.
I have my music in the format of Artist Folder> Album X, Y, Z > Tracks
Ive been "scanning" with the default nubia X music player app and all i get is no results found. Not sure how to select folders with this as there doesn't seem to be an option.
However when i go to the "my files" app all the music is shown there in the music folder, just not when you open the music player app.
I think the solution may be an alternative music player app but not sure why it wont scan the folders? Any guidance?.
Thanks

it's a pretty simple question. I have my ringtones (mp3) on my sd-card, now I added some (~4 GB) of music in another folder. All i want now, is a music-player, that excludes the ringtones-folder and only shuffles the music-folder.
I tried "instinctiv" and "music player pro", but both INCLUDE the ringtone folder.
Does anyone know a good player, that plays the music-folder only?
You should try Power Amp, 15 day trial is free in the market. And if you haven't organize things, I have a folder called Media on my SDcard and in there I have Music, Movies, and Audio. I have Notifications and Ringtones inside Audio. Haven't had any problems with ringtones showing up

With PowerAmp you can choose which folders to scan and which not.

Folder based music player = Mort player
try it, simple and awesome
thanks for answers, gonna try both.
All Good including Player Pro with it's widget.
it has that function too.
PlayerPro has a Folder Browser and you can set the Dir you want scanned for Music. I bought It because I am so used to the way my iPhone used to do music. I couldn't live without it (Genre>Artists>Albums). App is worth every penny!
Using stock music play from sensation. I made a folder called Music and dumped all my mp3s in there. Stock music player didnt play all the ringtones and such. Only the mp3s in the created folder.
in your SD card, create a folder "media", in this one create an other folder "notification" and put your ringtones in it.
i did this since the first day and my ringtones never appear in music player hope it will work for you
You can try MyMusicOn Music Player. Can configure it the setting to browse by folder.
MIUI music player works with folder view too. Not sure about the latest versions though..
Very good and simple player.
Is anyone able to find it? I'm using root explorer and when I go into sdcard android .com.Google.music files its not in there. As a matter of fact, both files and cache show up ad empty. I want to use n7 player to play the Google music I have marked as offline. Thanks.

Google Music off-line cached music files can only be played by Google Play Music. It's done to protect the music from being copied. I don't have root currently so I can't tell you the exact location, but I know I found them on my last phone but their names are obfuscated and they will not play with any other MP3 player.
The only way to do this for tracks you have bought (but not All Access tracks) is to download them to a computer first and then copy them over to your phone.

That is a good point. I was finally able to find it on the Nexus 5 after looking at every possible folder. It's in data/user/0/com.google.android.music/files/music I can't get any other music play to play when it's in that folder. However, if I copy it over to the typical sdcard/music folder, N7 plays it right away, albeit without the mp3 tags or artworks. But since all my music is in Google Play, and I have a process on my computer to autosync my new songs to google play, I'm just going to stick with the Play Music. I actually really like Play Music, but was just exploring other music players. There's really no point to when we have such a good system with Play music.
I have flashed LRX21O build on my nexus 5. The problem is the media present in the phone memory is not getting recognized.
First I have flashed the stock image and then did the setup and all
Next I copied 10 songs from my PC using USB cable. Those 10 songs are recognized the google play music app.
Next I download one song using chrome browser in nexus 5. That downloaded song is not playmusic app. But I can browse to that song using ES file explorer and choose play music app to play that song. Then I the app is able to play the song ( using es file explorer and choose the play music app to play the media we get a small floating type window and play music plays the song) the file is of mp3 format. The problem is not with the song. Its with the media scanner not able to detect songs. Anyone else are facing this problem?. Any solution for this. Please help
I am looking for a music player app. Nothing fancy. I have 1 request that it MUST do.
I have 2 folders on my phone: "Music" and "Audiobooks"
I want the music app to play stuff ONLY found in the "Music" folder. So far every app I have tried cannot be regulated to 1 main folder (in "Music" I have many sub-folders). So when I push shuffle I get audiobooks in there as well. I do not want that.
This will be installed on an unroofed galaxy 5S with up to date software.
I would recommend MortPlayer Music and MortPlayer Audiobook!
I use it myself for many years and I'm satisfied.
Oh common man...you can do that with any music player.....just rename the folder "audiobooks" to ".audiobooks".......ie just put a dot before the folder name..... And all music players will stop scanning files from that folder..... You may need to clear media database first......for that simplest method is settings-apps-all apps-com.android.providers.media-clear data.......then reboot and wait for a while so that all the stuff in our gallery and music player comes back...this time nothing will show up from audiobooks folder.
GoneMAD Music Player. You can select which folders are to be scanned and thus which audio files are shown in the music library.
I believe poweramp has this feature, too.
Honestly, if you want to go deep with it, I would use this modded Sony Walkman app. It is awesome and most, if not all features work depending on device and Android version.

downloaded Mortplayer. This was exactly what I was looking for (at least so far) thank you.
It installed and works but when I select an audio file in various apps (like file explorer or my podcast app) it never shows up as an option to play it. I used to be able to but not anymore. There will be 2 or 3 options to play the file using a few other apps (but not all of the apps capable of playing audio files on my phone). MX Player is never there. I had an earlier post but thought it had something to do with the podcast app but now I see it's more than that. Any clues? Thanks
