How to Add Your Personal Music Files in Krypton

Music Files in Krypton

Add-ons that have Music/Radio are growing at a rapid pace. Unfortunately, sometimes the selections available are not quite everyone’s “cup of tea”. I’m a firm believer that Music makes The World Go Around. But sometimes I just wish I could listen to what makes “My world go around”. We all have a large selection of Music Files these days, so why not make them available to play on your version of Kodi Krypton and Forks of Krypton.

WHAT TOOLS DO I NEED

A USB flash drive or a External Hard Drive.

Access to your personal files (if on a PC or Laptop)

Device that has a USB slot or SD Card

Download Manager , ES File Explorer as an example.

I happened to use my PC due to it being easier to create the Photos needed for this article. How you decide to move your files will be up to you, use what ever option you feel the most comfortable with. Adding them to Kodi Krypton will remain the same.

Setting up and Installing Music in Krypton

After opening Kodi Krypton, select Music.

music

The next screen you will see Photo A, will prompt you what type of Music ? Please select Files. After selecting File the next page, Photo B, has but one option Add Music. Select to continue.

Adding Your Music Files

Now while this looks complicated, it really isn’t, just a few clicks is all we need to do here. To prevent any delays, have the source of your Music files connected to the device.

Photo A- Select Browse, Kodi will now search for the location.

Photo B- As I explained earlier, I used my PC in addition having a portion of my Music collection on a Ext.HD. Consequently it now appears as E:(New Volume), yours may not appear as the same. Select the location and click OK.

Photo C- A new pop up will appear indicating the contents of the location. As a result of the search E:(My Music/My List) was found. Rather than renaming it, I left mine as Music List, you may call yours anything you wish to. Select OK when done.

Photo D- Confirm the prompt to continue by selecting Yes.

As soon as you select Yes from Step 4, the install process will begin. Notice the Progress Indicator in the top right corner. If you have more than 1 File in the same location, selecting “Add music” allow you to install at the same time without interruption. Once completed, exit back to the home page and either hover the cursor over Music or click it to see more detail.

Viewing Your Music

So now that you have your Files installed, to see how the list is arranged, I selected Songs. Above is just a small portion of what I like to listen to. Some of you from Canada may recognize one of the groups listed. Most noteworthy, all songs are listed in alphabetical order.

IN CONCLUSION

If your device (Box or Shield) is connected to a Home Theater System and then to your TV, this is another way to wake up the neighb….err… to enjoy your personal Music Files via Kodi. In addition to playing Movies and TV Shows on Kodi, this article has hopefully shown you what else Krypton has to offer. Stay tuned for 1 more Krypton secret to be unveiled soon. A Hint can be found in the Streaming World Forum FAQ Section.

TV Addons - Crypto Mining Hack

If you have been using Kodi third party addons for any length of time, you cannot have missed the controversy that always seems to surround TV Addons and the antics of its owner, Adam Lackman. In recent history there have been a number of high profile repo “hacks” and if you think back a little further, there was the DDOS hidden in the popular Exodus add-on. TV Addons Hack & Virus History Exodus DDOS “bot” So if you dont recall TV Addons hugely popualr Exodus add-on had some code added to it to DDOS attack. This was in response to a clone or fork of the addon that TVA took exception against. This seems rather bizarre given the amount of forks that are flying around now! Here is a link to that article. Exodus Botnet We did remove a lot of the post – but heres some links showing the code and how it was added; Exodus DDOS code Target of DDOS TVA & Indigo Repo Hijacks So lets review the repo hijacks – hotly denied, but who else has a v...

Guide to Installing Kodi: Beginner's Edition

Kodi, A Guide for New Users This next article is going to be an all-in-one guide on how to set up Kodi from where to find it to how to install an add-on.

Ares Wizard - Retro Gaming

The Ares Wizard has had a few upgrades to bring more of what users demand, easy android installs and retro gaming being sought by many, so grab yourself a game controller and prepare to transform your android boxes in a few clicks, retro gaming is now on the Ares Wizard! Archive Logins Just before we delve into those updates, I also wanted to point out that Mr Dobson has figured out how to log into Archive via Kodi – this may make your eyes glaze over, so I’ll be brief; the high demand builds hosted on Archive recently hit a problem, where Archive forced logins to download – normally something of a bind from android boxes. Well if you create any account (even if you don’t actually use it) this login can be entered and this allows downloads from Archive – Ares is the ONLY Wizard to be able to do this. (take note Ares does NOT store this info, so you will have to key it in each time you are prompted to do so) Android Apps A few additional apps have been added...

Deleting Old non-working URL's from File Manager

Deleting URL’s from File Manager We have all used the File Manager in Kodi to install different URL’s for various links to Repositories or Add-ons. Links become redundant for a number or reasons; however, the most common reason is abandonment by the developer. A perfect example is the TVA Fusion link, it became invalid and the link will no longer connect. Why remove the url links ? Keeping these URL links installed in File Manager is harmless, but keeping the file manager uncluttered is never a bad habit. Some of you may have typed the wrong url address by mistake. Instead of removing it right away, you just re-type the correct url address. I know how easy that is having done that myself on occasion. As a result, you have many duplicate sources in your File Manager section. The removal method is exactly the same for Jarvis & Krypton. Yet, I have combined photo examples for both just so you can follow along. While I was...
