Nokia N97 Symbian Music player auto searched sound file including ringtone and game sound and notification. Sometimes we don’t like other sound file except songs appears on the Music Player, In playing the playlist it is not a annoying problem but when you play in shuffle mode it is quite annoying since it plays also alarm tone, or other game sound effect.
Symbian should provide an option to load songs on folders we desired, but they didn’t. So we have to work it out our self.
To make ways around it we should give the sound folder the system attribute so it won’t appear in Music Player. But this method also makes other application unable to read them. The trick is first you add system attribute to the folders and update your music library, then remove the attribute so it would be readable to other apps.
This is how it’s done:
- To add attribute you need file manager installed such as Y-Browser.
- Open the application and go to the folder you wish to add attribute.
- Tap Options > File > Attributes and then change the System setting at the top from No to Yes.
- Tap Save and apply it to any folder you desire.
- Open the Music Player and refresh its library, now the sound file that you don’t wanted will be gone.
- Now remove the attribute to all folders that you add earlier so it can now be used by other apps.
- Repeat the following steps if wants to update songs on your N97.
