Hi all,
I was going through my gallery this evening, and im finding it really annoying that ALL my album art is in there
Anybody any ideas if its possible to hide/remove images from the gallery? Or will I simply have to remove my album art(not that I really care about it!)?
create an empty file call .nomedia in ur album art folder and run the media scanner/dis-mount-remount ur sd/restart the phone. All folder with the .nomedia file will be ignored (image, music & video).
I am having the issue with album art showing up in the gallery but am hesitant to use .nomedia.
Will my music still be found if the album art is in the same folder as the music?
Will the album art be found for the music apps if there is .nomedia in the folder?
It seems we should be able to just specify where the gallery should look for pictures instead of scanning the entire SD.
The music app still functions fine. I have all of my album art embedded in my mp3s but when I had them as separate files they still showed up in the music app even though I had the .nomedia file.
You can easily delete that file and reboot if you want to go back.
Hi there,
I am having problems transfering music on to my LG Optimus Black.
I am not sure where to create a music folder so the default music player can see the music files.
I have created music folders in Audio and in DCIM and in the main menu and the music is on the phone but the it is not found by the default player.
Any help would be appreciated .
Kind Regards
Kev
You put music files (say .mp3) anywhere in your memory card, your player should detect it automatically. So there should be an error reading the memory card.
Try this : Settings >> SD card & phone storage >> Unmount SD card.
Then mount it again. Once scanning of all media files finishes ( You may be able to see the scanning progress and completion notification on top bar. ) you player should work okay.
Also try downloading different players from market. Do they detect your music files?
I'm not that sure but I think the SD already have a "music" folder? mine those, I put all files there and player automatic detected them, even if I have files at bluetooth>music or download>music folders still detect them with no problem

Well even if there's no music named folder it still works. I directly copied my folders from pc such as metallica and linkin park etc and I put it in "my favourite" folder in root directory and it works perfectly..
When I got to pictures gallery, I see a lot of folders, including pictures and coverart from my music folders, how do I get rid of those and tell gallery only look into certain folders? I really don't want to see all my music coverart and pictures/notes from each mp3 album I have on my SD card.
Any ideas?
My Gallery won't show anything stored on my ext SD, did it all the time, i have my pics and movies on my sd and where always vissible in my gallery, since a few days the Gallery shows only content from my inernal storage and nothing from my ext storage, when i check my sd is installed, and a can see the foto's and all other files, can open them, even with my gallery, but still not visible in my gallery.
a day later the same happend to my Music, all stored on sd, still exists but my music player won't recognize them, if i go to the song i can choose play, then choose the music player, and it plays, but my player wont find any music.
So it looks like my phone still will see all the content on my sd, but if i wanna use that content with an app, the app won't recognize the content, movies, pics and music (mp3) all on my sd, when i move it to my internal storage, it works great...
The only options i have in the gallery is show content from phone, facebook and picassa, but no sd options.
i restored my phone to factory default, still the same....
or someone else who knows i can fix it

Have you recently partitioned your SD Card or played around with it in any way? Have you been using Music2SD, Link2SD or Pictures2SD? Have you tried using another SD Card? What gallery/media player are you using?
Solved

Thanks for the hint, never thought it was the SD himself, because in my pc it works great, and all content was vissible, also in my phone with root explorer i found all my files, and was able to open them.
but tried another sd with some pics and stuff and they where vissible in my gallery, formatted the SD on my pc wasn't possible, but when i did it with my phone it was solved, now i can see all my old pics...
Thanks again
Hi, I was going through the app menu on my Sprint HTC one M7 and deleted the cache for media storage. After a reboot, I no longer have my pics and videos in gallery, and no music for my HTC music player. The files are there since I checked them via root explorer. Just the phone does not seem to detect the internal storage. Is there a solution to this?
Thanks,
Bill
