Exclude folders from alarm sound picker

It appears the app displays every sound file it finds on my phone. i have about a hundred audio books and each of those is 1-40 files which litters the list with irrelevant sound choices. If I use the folder option to go to just a single folder, then when I select a sound to test, it just choses it, doesn’t start playing it to test and wait for confirmation that I want that sound like the opening sound picker.

Need a way to exclude folders I don’t want as sound choices so the opening sound picker just shows the ones I do want to chose from.

Hi.

You can try adding empty “.nomedia” file in directory where you have audio files that you don’t want to be listed in all media player apps.
