Help Exclude ringtone from music player

[sanduneboi]

Made some ringtones out of some of the music on my device using the ringdroid app. Now the tones I made are showing up in my music player. Is there any way to keep this from happening?

Put your ringtones and other service sound and media files in a separate folder, then also place a file in there called ".nomedia". It tells Android that the folder does not contain media files, and they will not be scanned and used in Media Player lists.

If you'd prefer not to create a file and/or copy it over, there's also a super simple to use app that does this for you:

StudioKUMA .nomedia Manager - Android app on AppBrain

Thanks for that DT

no need to do all that stuff. just move the ringtones to a folder named ringtones and youre done.

I must be ******ed... I've put all my ringtones in a separate folder named "ringtones", still showed up in music player. I put a file named ".nomedia" in that folder still show in media player. I downloaded studiokuma and now my ringtones cant be selected as a ringtone in the sound and display settings! Am I missing something here?
