My Android phone's SD card has 1000s of mp3 tracks (in a Music folder), plus all my mobi books in a Books folder. The file structure on the SD card hasn't been changed recently.

Today, when I connect my phone, Calibre (4.22) automatically starts to get a list of books on the device (Card A) BUT Calibre starts by detecting as "found objects" all the mp3 files on the card--which is, of course, taking hours and hours and hours to do.

The only way of stopping the automatic search is by stopping Calibre or unplugging the phone. I can't configure the device in any way because Calibre's already automatically connecting to it.

How can I stop Calibre looking at the mp3 files, and point it just at my Books folder? Thanks.
