I got 256gb samsung card everything is working great I got mainly to put my large music collection on my phone. My question is in the folders for my albums I have album art and apps like instagram and facebook are reading the jpegs, I dont want that though when I go to instagram and go to post a photo I dont want to see all my album art I want it excluded it from apps like that. The gallery app I use lets me set this exclusion but I dont see a way to do it for these others apps. Is it possible to do?
 
Try using a file manager app to add a blank text file titled ".nomedia" in that directory. That instructs the system to ignore that directory when scanning for images to populate the image databases. I'm not sure if that will impact the music app's ability to find the album art, but I would guess that it doesn't.
