Help Playing music by folder...please help!

Hi guys,
Having searched and read about this topic, Im still having a problem and I couldnt find the answers.
This is my scenario..
I have a little over 20GB of music. I installed half on the players memory itself and the other half on an external micro sd card that has been inserted into the phone. Before transferring my music onto the phone and memory card, it was all under folders on my hard drived base MP3 player.
I really like plug-and-play type MP3 players, non-Apple, and just simply
had all my music in folders from A-Z and then the each different Band in a different sub-folder. I am not concerned with tags or album art.
Since the phone comes with 16GB, I have to divide all my music half and half.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to have all the music lumped into one like it was on my old MP3 player?

2. I cant seem to browse the music by folders. I want to have my music set up as 26 different folders from A-Z, then have the Bands seperated by folder WITHIN that folder

I tried downloading MortPlayer and Astro Player, but it doesnt seem to work right. Are there any settings on the phone to manage my music this way?

Thanks for your time!!!
 
i have the same problem too. i'm trying to google for music player like windows media player or core player which i was using with my windows mobile 6.1 (omnia I) and 6.5 (omnia II).
 
try Meridian.
i was also on the lookout for a similar 'folder-wise' playing app. stumbled upon meridian and am loving it.
try it. u will definitely like it.
 
nope, i have tried it but it is not what i'm looking. i like a player similar to windows media player where you have a pop.ip menu where you can open files or folders and its content.
 
1.) Mortplayer it works well on my phone but seems it had problems on yours.

2.) In that case try POWERAMP it uses bit more CPU and RAM but is a complete player. Option to chose both folders or tag structure. 10 band AMP. Lock screen widget. Album art grabber etc. What else would one want?
 
I installed mortplayer, very promising so far. Defined 'music' folder with subfolder pop and classic. If I wanna play the pop folder, tap it, goes to album, than song. Problem: The player plays ALL songs in music, not just the pop folder. What am I missing?
Second problem: where is the 3 different font size hiding?
Thanks
 
try winamp app from market. there you can sort mp3s like "albums" and it show you only mp3s and FOLDERS as you have it in default folder of music (works on samsung galaxy s 2)
 
In stock music player, open menu-setting-music menu - enable folder option
for this no need to go for extra player
now you can select ne folder n can play

Click to expand...

I can't find those options anywhere. Are you talking about the app that looks like a speaker and is labeled "Music"?
 
any android device phone or tablet
it uses your folders as playlists
just make sure you have numbered your track in the order you want them in
before you copy the folder to your device
it has an auto pause
font resizing,
its a lot like foobar i use it in the clubs for playing backing track
and music
oh and its free its called
MUSIC FOLDER PLAYER :D
Just what you need
