blueorder Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Even though I have only selected my Music folder (/sdcard/Music) on my SD card for scanning, every audio file in my SD card shows up in the library (game sounds, etc...).How can I set Poweramp to only see my Music folder to populate the library?Thanks...

admin Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 The Library is Android system library, it's managed by android itself, so it understands only standard music locations.This may change with the addition of custom Library for PowerAMP v2.0 where I will resolve this and some other system library limitations.

MystaMax Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I guess this is what I'm looking for.I've installed some games (gameloft games to be exact) which include hundreds of ogg files. I'll never listen to these in Poweramp, but the app indexed them. I guess this is android's fault.I'll wait for 2.0 for custom libraries. Although, this is quite annoying to have hundreds of audio files in my library I never listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 You can try to temporarily solve it by dropping .nomedia file in the game folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueorder Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 I tried adding a .nomedia file in the game folder but the files are still in the library after folder rescan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Folder scan is PowerAMP internal scanner which works for folders only. You need to trigger system media scan - it will happen after sd card mounting or on phone reboot (which will do sd card mounting in process).

After unmounting and remountind the SD card, all the folders with .nomedia disappeared.Thanks,BlueOrder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshsuperk Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 BlueOrder, I have the same problem with all the songs from my downloaded games showing up in the Poweramp Library. Can you explain exactly what you mean by "adding a .nomedia file in the game folder"? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want a folder to be scanned, just add a blank text file named ".nomedia" to it (no extension). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
