Feature request : be able to choose which folder to get the music from in the music app
- /e/OS version: 3.7.1-a15-20260414608755-official-FP6
- Device model(s): Fairphone 6
## Summary
The music app is playing all music file on the phone, including custom notification sound, voice messages, sound record, or videos received with WhatsApp. This prevents users from using this app to listen to their downloaded music because unexpected files are being played instead of the music when using random play. Users have to download another music app to have the expected behaviour.
Here is a video showing the problem : [https://youtube.com/shorts/nhuwEaJfjpc](https://youtube.com/shorts/nhuwEaJfjpc?feature=share)
We can see on the video the "Camera" folder which contains video received with WhatsApp, or the "Message" folder which contains voice message received by SMS/MMS. We also see in the second part of the video where are located the available files, including sound recordings.
## Description
**What is the current behavior?**
Any music file can be played when selecting the random play, including custom notification sound, voice messages, sound recording, or WhatsApp videos.
**What is the improved behavior?**
Add a menu to select folders containing the music we want to play. Alternatively this can be a menu to select folders that we DON'T want to play (like a .gitignore file for developers).
**What does it bring?**
This allows to use the music app to be used to listen to the music downloaded on the user's phone, without having to download another app to avoid the problem. The app is otherwise unable to provide a good music listening experience for the user.
## Examples
Select their "Music" folder, and only the files in this folder will be played (multiple folders can be selected).
Alternatively, select folders that are not played, like notification sounds, downloaded videos, sound recording, or voice messages.
