N97mini: audio player finds other sounds

Hi!

 

As an ardant lover of music and, in just a tiny lesser degree, of the N97mini I was wonderering of someone had succesfully been able to have the Music library search function to confine its search to music only. I am willing to use a loose definition of music to include Kylie, 50 Cents as well as K3 but for the love of God I cannot regard the no doubt popular tracks "Skype" or "SkypeIM" as music.

 

Is it possible to restrict the location where Music library is looking for material to the location of locations where I, or whatever Ovi/Nokia application is installed, stores its music?

 

Thanks!

I dont really know how on the default player but the apps powermp3 and folderplay allow you to select only which folders to play.

It will play other formats apart from mp3, but I dont have a list of it. I do know that folderplay can play LOTS of formats, including FL:AC. head over to the s60v5 apps section of forum.dailymobile.se, they have full list of details there. Just search for the particular topic.

The application is a great idea but also try this, create a playlist and but your favourite music in it and play them from there. Every time you refresh your library add the new music files to the playlist and so on........

Re: N97mini: audio player finds other sounds

Playlists , eh? I've never grasped the concept of   Playlists, it justs seems such a time consuming matter. Ripping CD-s, placing them on the mobile device, and (sigh), create playlists. For me the whole concept of playlist could be carved out of all media players I've used.

 

I play my songs either by album, the "Playlist" that the original inventor of the music has created, or by random play, in which I couldn't be bothered by a "Skype" playing mid random.

 

But thanks for the idea. I might be a valid WORKAROUND for a missing feature in the product.
