N95 8GB music management?

6 replies · 4,321 views · Started 12 November 2007

I'm enjoying my N95 8GB but the only thing I hate is the music files management.
I made some ringtones for my phone by .mp3 format and put them manually in the phone memory card. Now I want the phone to play only the full MP3 songs not the MP3 ringtones. I don't know what to do because when I open media player, it scans for music files in the memory card and listed my MP3 ringtones as SONGS.
Anyone know what should I do?
thanx

Make the ringtone files hidden. If you have a browser like y-browser on the phone use that, if not connect it to your pc and just mark them hidden the normal way, then update the music library on the phone. This will stop the music player from finding them but if you browse to them in y-browser you can play them from there.
Best bet is to set your ringtone/message tone then mark them hidden (it won't affect them working or anything)

cant you just go from media player:
OPTIONS
GO TO MUSIC MENU
ALL SONGS
and then delete the ones you have as ringtones...

That would delete it entirely from your phone and the ringtone would revert back to the Nokia Tune. Nobody wants that

no it wouldnt

Ive just done it. It deletes it from the playlist, when I go to the digital music folder, they are still there.

although, saying that... the files I just deleted from All music, reappeared when I restarted the application they were from... HMMM

Edit>> Ok, yeah, dont delete them from All music if they are MP3 files as that does delete from the phone permanently...
