Windows Media Player Help With The Library

I am not sure if this will help or not, but for myself, after scanning for media, i open the library and hand weed them out.

The sounds i keep zipped on my storage card do not get rounded up, so i keep the majority of them zipped with total commander to avoid the issue as much as possible in the first place, though its no fix.


Looking forward to hearing what others do to avoid this.


Peace

There is one other way, but it's a bit of a pain in the butt. You could move all your ringtones, message tones, etc. off the storage card and onto your computer. Open windows media player on your phone, go to Library, click menu and update library. It will scan your phone and storage card, but it will only find your music since everything else is on the computer. Once the library is updated move all the tones you placed on the computer back to where you had them located on your phone and/or storage card. Like I said, it is a bit of a pain to do especially if you are putting new music on your phone often, but it works.

Honestly, I never use the Library feature because of this.

I have WMP set to open to the Library screen and almost always just go straight to:
   Menu > Open File > Storage Card > My Music
and there are my tunes, and only my tunes.    

To get more than one song ready to go, just tap & hold on the ones you want and select "Queue Up" from the context menu - puts them in the Now Playing list that you can shuffle, edit, weed, etc.

To load the entire folder (currently about 100 or so songs in my case) I use a file explorer to browse to that folder, select all files and then double-tap one of them to start them playing - WMP opens automatically to play them, and everything that was selected loads into the Now Playing list.

I guess that doesn't really fix the issue with the Library, but just goes around it.

True there are other players, though Wmp has that nice titanium plug-in, that a few may not want to give up,

I am starting to think, two sd cards are in order, one with music and other with porn, err, I mean your apps.

I wasn't aware there was a plug-in (I don't use titanium) I guess that would be a pretty big thing to take into consideration before discarding WMP  

Also, I don't think you can hot swap storage cards, I find it annoying to have to shut down the phone everytime I want to change cards to listen to a mp3 file or something. Ran into this problem with GPS software before, I just like having everything on one card, it's just more convenient and efficient IMO.

Don't know if this is the same one, but looks good.

lol I went to quote you an modified your post before I realized the error of my ways, thats why it says I edited it for the record.

I don't install programs or let anything in my power, write or cache to my SD card, so hot swappy is ok for what I was thinking, though it won't be for most others in hindsight   Thats why I don't have the bing issue mentioned it seems.

Using the "Home Screen Customizer" off of market place, select music as an Titanium plug in and it links to WMP. I also use its weather and apps plug in too, handy for 8 normal shortcuts, and a recently used list of apps.
(Tried most GUI's, keep coming back to Vanilla Titanium and settled on it for low overhead)
