title: WP8 Folder Access
body: <p>Can an app access and create a specific folder in the Windows phone 8 environment? I'm looking at building an audiobook player app and want to allow the user to drop these into an audiobook folder on the phones drive itself instead of mixing with the music folder. Could an app at least read from a specific folder outside its isolated storage?</p>
  
  <p>Secondly, if so, is there any equivalent of the ".nomedia" file in Android that my app could insert into the folder to exclude the audiobook folder from being scanned by the music players on the phone?</p>
  
  <p>I'm struggling to find the appropriate documentation that will answer my questions, as most documentation seems specific to WP7</p>
