aliahyp Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If Poweramp respected .nomedia files, the initialization and folder scan phases would be faster. I know it doesn't because after about 10 minutes the app finished it's initial scan, and every media file on the sdcard was included, including my ringtones, a file in Downloads, etc. It spent a ridiculous amount of time scanning 3Gb of data when only 174Mb of it was audio I would actually like to be included.

aliahyp Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 I see elsewhere on the site that this is a TODO item for version 2.1. Can anyone say when that release might be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam917 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 You can have it scan only certain folders if you like, right? (I stick all of my music in /Music & just have it read that folder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I stick all of my music in /Music & just have it read that folder)Quite, that's what I do. I have Poweramp set to only scan the folder \MusicFolders. And I do have a '.nomedia' flag in that MusicFolders location already (in order to stop the Android system library from also scanning it) so making Poweramp respect the standard ',nomedia' would actually have completely the wrong effect!Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV23 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Please respect .nomedia I do not like that all my ringtones to be added like music in my favorite player. Please make at least an option to Setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please make at least an option to Setting.That already is an option, as discussed above.Just disable whichever folder contains your ringtones using Poweramp's 'Settings' > 'Folders and Library' > 'Music Folders' selection screen. Only folders which are ticked in that list will be scanned.Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Poweramp2 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah what Andre said, but remember not to double select folders (issue with Samsund folders) or else you'll have double the music/song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
