Hide mp3 files from Music player

[snotnose]

I've dumped my thumb drive and now use my smartphone (HTC V One) for the same purpose. One side effect is I now have a couple directories full of mp3 files that I'd like to hide from the music player (no, they aren't those kinds of files. They're work related, not music).

Is it possible to hide directories from the music player? Even better, can I tell the music player to only look under 'My Music' on the SD card?

Sorry to say but unless you root it or something it is impossible.

Yeah, after spending quality time with google I was pretty sure that was the answer, but thought I'd check. Thanks for the reply.

Have you tried adding a .nomedia file to the directory? Try these instructions:

Disable Media Scanning in Specific Android Directories With a .Nomedia File

I thought simply adding a "." (period) at the start of a folder name would stop this too. I know it works for the picture viewer at least.

I have rooted my android device so can you tell me how?
