N73 ME - Music Player Not Recognising Music

Hi all,
A slightly strange issue has just started with my N73 ME (Orange, UK, V4.0735.3.0.2) I recently wiped all the music from my 2GB memory card and replaced it using the Nokia PC Suite.
I have the s/w set up to automatically change everything to .M4A when it copies across. It's always worked perfectly, no problem.
However, once everything was copied, when I tried to update the music player, it just sits 'Updating' and can't find any music at all.
The file manager can see it and the Gallery app on the phone can see it all too - you can play individual tracks via both these routes as well.
The music player however can't find anything on it's own.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get around this?
Thanks in advance,
B.

Are the music tracks in the right folder on the memory card? Music player will only pick up tracks under
Sounds> Digital sounds
If they are under Music or any other folder your gallery will see them but Music player will not.
If the songs are in the correct folder then try performing a reset of the phone as follows and then try again.
Try doing a hard reset by following the following steps
1: Back up important data such as contacts, messages etc
2: Turn off the phone
3: Hold down the star *, green phone and number (3) key
4: Turn the phone back on with these keys held in
5: Wait for the device to start up completely
Restore back-up and try phone again, if the problem is still noticeable take it to your nearest Nokia Repair Centre

N8 music player not recognising music file details

I've been using mp3tag to embed album art in the ID3 tags & also fix the album artist so I can copy the files across to my N8 in windows. It all worked fine before but now the music player just sees them as album artist & album unknown, depite this info being correct in the tag files. Any ideas? In fact I've deleted some stuff that was ok & put it back on & since going back it's not been recognised properly.
Any help appreciated
Nokia N8 on Belle

I have been using muscibee to embed tag information into mp3 files on the Nokia.
1) The trick is to use the proper version of the ID tag.
You MUST use ID3v2.3.
The album art can be both embedded into the mp3 files, and/or saved as folder.jpg. Embedding worked for some time, then it was changed to the folder.jpg, if I know well. Now I do both.
Musicbee has also a lot of mp3 tagging function, also auto numbering, freedb info.
2) If you change the tag info in the files, you must remove the files from the phone, refresh the music library (so they get deleted), then copy the files back, and refresh the music library. Otherwise, the old tag info will be present in the database.

Do this :
Go to Media>Music Player>Options>Music Library>Update Library and wait for the action to be finished.
I assume that you can now play your music files in the music player.

Zen mx 16gb player not recognising id3 tags.

,zen mx 6gb player not recognising id3 tags.I recently bought a zen mx and so far can not get it to recognise over half of my mp3's id3 tags. All of the files are drm free. All of the unrecognised files will play but get stuck in the unknown artist unknown album catagory on the player. I have tried retagging the files in several diffrent tagging softwares and upgraded my player to the newest firmware and nothing seems to work. I had a creative vision m 30gb before I had this player and it never had this problem. I contacted customer support but they didnt seem to have any idea what an Id3 tag was and offered no relavent advice other then upgrade your firmware witch was upsetting to say the least. If anyone has any idea how to fix this that would be awesome. I feel like I just wasted almost 80 dollars.

0Re: zen mx 6gb player not recognising id3 tags. It's just aggravating because I used to talk the company up all the time. The older creative zen's where awesome. They played every file that I had with the exclusion of open source formats like ogg witch is understandable because I'm sure that there is not much demand for that.
I wouldn't be half as upset as I am if I felt like the support people where offering decent suggestions or even an explanation of what may be wrong. I mean are there certain id3 tags that are not recognised? At least try to explain why it may not work to me so that I can fix the problem without having to re-tag every cd that I have purchased since I was fourteen. I don't think I'm going to buy anything from them again until I see that the quality of there products is getting better. Maybe I should write a review on Amazon to warn people away, after all the majority of the music that its having problems with was downloaded from Amazon.com.
Btw if your haning the same problem as me kid3 is a program that will retag your files to this players satisfaction. Not that helps if you have a large volume of music but its at least something.

Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external hard drive while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?

There is no setting in the iPhone to set another default music player. The default is Music. If you are using another application, you are at the mercy of how that application operates as far as what occurs when it stops or errors out. The car is looking for music to play.

New music player not satisfactory no eas of use an...

Music Player for Symbian^3 Version 16.10.38.
Device details Nokia N8 OS Symbian Anna, Software Version 022.014(.356.02=Custom)
There was a time that I was telling friends that now cell phones are equipped with all the best features when it comes to music also. But that was thing of the past.
1. Artist & Albums Menu. No Separate selection for each available.
a. Artist:
How it is: Artist names are shown with album names.
Problem: If one had to play all songs of (single) desired artist, he can’t as he doesn’t get “PLAY ALL SONGS” option in that.
How it should be: Type or scroll to the desired artist name, tab (open) it then you will find out options as “Play all songs” or “Play Album (named separately as XXX, XYZ)”. Previous Media Players had that option.
b. Albums:
How it is: As explained in Artist menu.
Problem: I have albums which are multi artists (especially Indian movie songs which are mostly various artists) so if one had to listen to that complete album, he simply can’t.
How it should be: As explained above for artists. Previous Media Players had that option.
2. No type tool available to search in desired fields.
How it is: The most important thing, the typing tool is unavailable,
Problem: If one have huge music collection and have to search for song either by artist, album, genre, or by all songs option, the only way is to scroll, while scrolling he is guided by alphabets but still it not powerful tool.
How it should be: It’s easy to find if one just type the first few alphabets (of first or any word in the field) works as filter, whatever you typed remains on screen the rest hides. Previous Media Players had these options.
3. Missing Music Composer Menu.
As these options were available in older phone’s media players like Nokia N95, N73 etc but in new once they are missing, Changing in manifestation is good, adding new and attractive features is great, improvement in ease of use is best but eliminating power features is doing something which is equal to downgrade to Stone Age............ I don't think so people will appreciate.
4. Custom Equalizer Settings.
How it is: There few selective factory presets for the equalizer.
Problem: There are millions of Genres Worldwide and not every part of the world matches the music presets they stored in device and most of time people match the sound on their Audio devices (Car Stereo, Home and other) so they need to edit the equalizer for the best optimum sound quality.
How it should be: As in older devices had and one can change and save his own setting.
5. Expecting to add more menus: Suggestions for more menus (like year, mood etc) will be greatest things you will do.
Who will go and buy a separate device just for music if he has all these features supported by his cell phone specially when the manufacturer claims that it have music player inside.
People don’t have to stop on highways or stop skating for a while just to select the next song, allow people to go by several options.
In one simple line to explain, keep all the options of older music player, just change the display styles to new one. Add the suggestions.

Yep as I said in my post tried that obviously aswell as ... well, the other things i mentioned in my posting.
Now does anyone have any ideas?

Music player not working properly!!!

Yea I'm becoming really frustrated with the new ios7.
I listen to alot of music, after upgrading to the new ios, the music player sometimes locks up or doesnt play songs at all. If I move the scrubber bar to the middle of the song, then it resets itself back to the begginning at 0:00, the music still does not play. Only after a while of messing with the play/pause button it will play.
It seems that if there isn't a good internet connection, then the music does not play, which makes no sense because this is music that I've paid for and downloaded on to the phone. I've been a die-hard Apple fan for many years but, If you're going to tell me that I need to be connected to the internet to listen to paid music that should be on the phone, then I may just go to another device.This is getting really annoying.
Sometimes the cloud icon will show up next to the album name/song - which means it's on the cloud? But not on my phone where it should be? And if I press the cloud button to download the music then it still does not play?
This happens about 75% of the time.
While the new ios has cool features, it has lost its reliability and is full of problems.
Get your crap together Apple or I'm going to another device.

This sounds like the same problems I am having on two different ios devices. I'd like Apple to acknowledge this, at least so that there's some reason to hope for a solution. This is not what I paid for.

Nokia xm 5800 music player "not supported"

Hi everyone,
I just updated my music player yesterday and when I tried to open it on my phone, it wouldn't even open. When I tried to open it from the gallery, it shows "Gallery: feature not supported". I tried to click "options" but that wouldn't open either. However it still shows up on the Nokia Music Player on my PC. And I could still hear my songs by setting my alarm tone. I've tried taking out the battery & SIM card, but still no results. I would not prefer to re-transfer my music since I programmed a lot of information in them and it would take me hours to type them in again.
Thanks!

I have just updated my N8 to Belle. It was working fine untill few days ago i added some mp3 file to my phone. I was trying to refresh the music player bt i won't stop refreshing. Please need help ASAP cuz it's really **bleep** me off
thanks in advance

Hey rafinmb
Welcome to the forum!
Try and isolate the problem, check whether if only one song is affected. Should that be the case then remove the song and add it again and the same goes for all the other song. It could simply mean that the file(s) were corrupted during or before the transfer process.
Lets us know is if this works.

5530 music player not recognizing new songs

hi all,
new problem for me. the nokia music player is not recognizing new music. it just files them under unknown. the files are properly tagged. the only way to get it to recognize the files is to format the sd card and put the music back on the card.
also after deleting music, the player still has the files in its unknown folder, even after updating the music library.
very frustrating as i use the phone everyday as my main music player. this problem has only turned up in the past couple of weeks, with me changing nothing else on the phone.
any advise?

Hi, just try up this found somewhere-
You can do this to rebuild the library as it is corrupted.
Restart your device and then refresh your library. If this doesn't help then;
Connect the phone to your pc/lappy and put in 'Data transfer' mode.
To delete the library files:
- Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
Select "Show hidden files and folders"
- Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
- Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
(assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E)
Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd. Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
Now just refresh the Music Player library and the job is done.
This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.
Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?

Files In Music player Not Shown In English

I've transferred music files to my 6280 via Nokia Music Manager and when I open them using the music player on my phone, the files are in Japanese not English.
It's quite strange because when I look at the files individually on my phone they show up in English. The only problem I get is when use the music player.
Can anybody help me???

I'm having kinda the same problem when i transfer music through the nokia software all the files work and they show the correct names in the memory card but when played through the music player the names turn into little rectangles, not even symbols
Can anyone provide a suggestion?

Music player not refreshing the memory card in Nok...

Hi All,
I have , once, removed my mobile phone from data cable without safety remove and there it gave me lot of troubles. My facebook was not able to be connected through the provided application and my music player stopped working as and stopped refreshing saying that "File corrupted"
Finally. i removed my memory card, formatted it and made it worked.
Nokia should consider fixing these issues as we respect them a lot and think that they are still the #1 hardware vendor and will keep giving us good options than Samsung - android and will compete with apple phones.
Thanks,
Madas

It already states that removing your cable without properly ejecting the device will cause problems with the software and memory card inside your device.
This issue is user side removing the cable early. To prevent further corruptions, please safely remove hardware from your desktop.

Music Player not working in my new Nokia X6

I got a new nokia X6 5-days ago from some few 2-3 days back it started automatically restarting on its own while i am doing soemthing in the cellphone i had not done anything wrong with the settings just installed 1-2 themes and 1-2 apps from ovi.
Can anyone tell me why it is happening ?
The second issue emerged today yesterday night i download many album from ovi on my X6 and today when i i try to start music player it doesn't open the screen gets black nothing happens for a long time, the phone doesn't hangs coz i can get into open apps by press and hold of menu key and come to home screen and do other things
pls tell me how to solve this problem
i srsly regret my decision to buy x6 over many other its not a good cell and really not worth the price it is saled

Just try turning phone off and remove battery for 5 minutes, re-boot and go into music player and select Options refresh. I recently set up a new X6 for a friend and it's been trouble free for 6 weeks and I put 15 apps and 20 Albums on it for him plus a few vidz no problems, but just dragged and dropped them from computer to E. Also hard reset and updated the software on the phone before doing anything at all to it. If a simple restart doesn't solve your problem, I would suggest a reset, but if it's only 5 days old, take it back to the shop where you bought it, and get them to sort it !!
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
