Problem in the choice of music for the alarm after Marshmallow update

[Melvindu85]

Hi to all, i'm a French and i don't speak well english. I come there to have a solution for my problem.

This week, i have bought the Xperia Z5 because my screen of Xperia Z2 was broken. With the change of phone, i fall in the update "Marshmallow" 6.0. I did not come here to criticize but I am disappointed about something and want to know if there is a solution.

I explain to you : 

Every evening, i change my song to wake up to the next day and i go in the alarm interface. Here >

And before the update, i could choose my music very simply with the interface of File commander Here >  

http://starshack.free.fr/images/screenmum.png (Musique/music) and i LOVE that.

But Now, it's very complicate and i can't search my files by folders. There is no VISIBILITY. First, i have this : http://starshack.free.fr/images/screenbgb.png (need to go on the small +), after : http://starshack.free.fr/images/screendsd.png (let's start with the first artist) after :  http://starshack.free.fr/images/screenasa.png (it's my folder, but i don't understand why he comes) and finally i have to choose a music http://starshack.free.fr/images/screenuwu.png (and i can't change of folder). It is impractical and too long.

How can I allow my phone to look for music with the old navigation ?  Is an update Marshmallow be provided on this subject (ability to customize also) ?

Thank you in advance for an answer, Melvin.

When it ask you which program to use for choose the music, you have to select file command and thick the "use always" option.

If you already did it but choosen "Music" app, you have to clear that preference in "Music" app setting.

I tried to change the alarm sound and it worked your "old way" style.

My phone never ask me if i want to choose any application or any other to found my music

I've try what you say but it doesn't work.

First with the application of file commander, i can't open by default : http://starshack.free.fr/images/screenyvy.png

So i've try on the "Horloge" the application who manage the alarm mode and i have this : http://starshack.free.fr/images/screenngn.png and in open by default : http://starshack.free.fr/images/screenwrw.png

And i have always the long way for choose my musics :'(

I don't understand what you want alexdon 

Can you reformulate please ?

I will bring this into discussion with some people to find out more on why this has changed, hopefully.

@Melvindu85 So what you should try is this: settings - apps, tap on the 3 dots and reset app preferences. This will produce no harm, you will only lose default actions for apps, permissions which can be easily set.
