Hide music from the tab???

Is there anyway to have music on my SD card but not visible to the music tab? I want the music with me but only want to see certain folders at a time not ALL of it. I have a ton of music and audio files.

The best thing I found to do was to create playlists. This way you only load the files you want.

but that still makes all the music on your SD card viewed in your music tab, right? I don't want that.

I don't recall off the top of my head the exact location, but there is a registry setting for "ringtones" in (guess the follow location, may not be exact) HKLM>Software>HTC>Manila... Somewhere in there, or possibly in it's own "AudioManger" key or something. Actually, it could be under HKCU if not under HKLM. But I played around with it one time to make it not look at a particular folder. I believe there is also another entry you can modify telling it where you music is stored.

Get a registry editor like Total Commander (I prefer Resco Explorer with the Registry addon) and just explore. You'll be amazed at what you will find. I usually just mess with stuff that I am leary about just before I update to a newer ROM since I will be reflashing anyway.

**Backup your stuff first just in case. And don't be scared to break something (breaking as in software, NOT hardware) - that's what Clear Storage is for.

Does anybody else have more information on the possiblity of this?
