How to hide ringtones from Music Library on N97 mini?

Hello,

 

The title speaks for it's self i think.

I want to hide my personal ringtones (on the mass storage drive) from my Music library as it is quite annoying to hear your ringtones when listening to good music... The folder with the Nokia ringtones I can't find....

 

So, how can I do this?

 

Greetings,

you can't do it

 

but you can do a trick :

save all your full songs in a single playlist, and when you want, play the playlist not "all songs" choice :smileyhappy:

Also you could try Playlist DJ, it will only profile 'proper' music, my 20 ringtones aren't included as there is nothing to profile them with :smileywink:

It's fre at Ovi Store :smileyhappy:

There is a very easy way to do this. This method does not involve keeping your sound files 'hidden'. This means your files will still be accessible from other apps. Also, you DO NOT not need to hack your phone for this. 

http://lagenda4046s603rd.blogspot.com/2010/08/13-all-mods-pack-in-sis.html

This little app will let you do exactly what you want. The music library will now only look in E:\music (memorycard>'music' folder)

HOWEVER, when you install it, it will still show your ring tones and other sound files, but it wont show any further sound files that you add to your phone unless you put them in E:\music. THERE IS A VERY EASY WAY AROUND THIS:

BEFORE INSTALLING Just hide all the sound files you don't want in your music library (make files 'hidden'), then install '13 all mods' (link above), then unhide those sound files.

Now your music library will ONLY show music in E:/music AND your other sound files remain unhidden, so other apps can use them normally.

Enjoy!

There are also other options during install. All of the features are optional during install. Your phone may not support all the options, but hopefully it will work for the music library function.

When you install, it may say 'phone not supported', BUT INSTALL IT ANYWAY. This just means that not all the extra options will work for your phone (e.g. disable nokia hands), but you should expect the music thing to work properly.

Note: this app will not show an icon in you menu, but it will be in you app list in 'application manager'. There, you can uninstall it, and this will undo any features you selected i.e. it will show all your sound files, ring tones and anything else you selected etc.

Regards and Good luck
