Nokia N96 Music Player DO NOT UPDATE Song's Cover ...

Hi,
I use Windows Media Player added a cover picture (a.jpg) to a song (abc.mp3), then transfer this song to N96 use PCSuit Mode, 
After the transfer completed, open the Music Player in N96 and play that song (abc.mp3), the Music Player can show the cover picture (a.jpg) normally, 
Then, exit the Music Player.
And again, use Windows Media Player to modify the cover picture of abc.mp3, this time, just change the cover picture to (b.jpg), then, retransfer the song (abc.mp3) to N96 in the same way.
After the second transfer completed, reopen the Music Player and play the abc.mp3, and found that Music Player still shows the a.jpg as the cover picture, 
In the right way, Music Player should shows the b.jpg as the cover picture, I think Music Player may have cache the song's cover picture when it plays the song.
How to solve this problem? Where is the Music Player to cache the song's cover pictures in?
Thanks.
Solved!

There is a folder called 'private' which contains settings for various phone apps and their databases, but it's best not to play in there because you could damage any number of other elements of your phone.
If it is a bug, then check if you have already the latest software for your phone, as it may already be cured. If not, as a workaround, try deleting the track from the phone, updating the library and then retransferring the track.
There are also other ways to deal with album art which don't have this issue with teh N96 music player (I tested them all myself):

  • Default Nokia Music Player is not refreshing songs...

    HI,
    I'm using Nokia C5-05.... Default Nokia Music Player is not refreshing songs from Memory Card... I tried removing the memory card and inserting again... Wen I click Refresh Library, its refreshing and showing as "0 files(s) added".... I don't understand why???  Pls help me....
    Please check and update me regarding the necessary actions to be taken as soon as possible.....
    Thanks.

    hae you checked via Nokia Suite on your PC if there are any firmware updates available for your handset? if there are any, please update to the latest version offered. failing that, can try re-installing the current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
    might also pay to check the memory card via a memory card reader, to see if it is working fine or not.

  • NOKIA 7610 music player show not enouph memory

    my mobile show not memory when play music player
    i have trying all condition but  i could not take solution pleas help
    or also it is not any softwre provider just like nokia provider in any mobile
    please hep

    Please remove unwanted files from the memory card, then reboot the device and try playing songs from the music library. It happened to me sometime back, and after a reboot it automatically got fixed.
    Also you could try to restore the device to factory settings,  and try performing a software update for the device.
    NOTE: Kindly ensure that you take back up of the device completely before doing factory restore, or software update.

  • Nokia N8 - Music Player does not show track progre...

    I am having this annoying problem after the belle refresh update. Earlier the music player used to show track progress bar perfectly. Now after the update it does not show progress bar most of the time while playing a song.
    On further observation, I noticed that the progress bar shows up correctly everytime for the songs which does not have a album art embedded in it. But if I play a song with a album art, most of the time the progress bar does not appear at all.
    Is anyone else having the issue? Try playing few different songs with album art attached. Hope nokia fixes this soon.
    Also earlier tapping on the album art/icon used to display the volume up-down slider. Now that feature is gone. Since I use a hard cover, it's difficult for me to use the hardware volume buttons every time. Why did you remove a useful feature nokia?

    (To Technical Expert)
    I know about the hide lyrics/show lyrics option and have already used it. What I don't like is the progress bar that is displayed on the album art. Can't they remove the hide lyrics/show lyrics option and just place the progress bar above the (previous track, pause/play & next track touch icons) like it was in the first Belle Update for the N8 v111.030.0609? That 'Now Playing' view looked way better than it looks now because the album art was bigger and the progress bar was not displayed on the album art like it is now. Surely if they changed it to the way it looks now, they can change it back to the way it was before. It's just the progress bar positioning, I've been a Nokia fan for years and hope that they will make that small tweak.

  • Nokia N96 music player problem

    Hi,
    I've had my N96 for a while now. The main reason i bought it is my music. I have updated to the latest firmware BUT the music player is still slow as. main problems are:
    1) playlists/etc taking ages to load.
    2) click on a song to play and the phone just waits then does not play the song and just goes to the end of playlists.
    3) i have to play every song by left click --> play --> on device cause of the above problem
    4) The worst problem is when the phone is playing a song. if i press back it honestly takes 3 minutes to go back to the playlist. so to avoid that i just press left click exit.
    is this related to general slowness of the phone? please tell me how to fix this issue and if its general phone slowness how to fix that too.
    oh and can i remove this music player and get another one? like another application to play my music. im seriously getting to the stage where i would like to throw this phone at a brick wall.

    Try to do a factory reset by keying *#7780#. Then updates music library. The phone needs time, for it is indexing all media files. Check also if their is some apps working in the background by press hold the menu key & close it, it slow down the indexing. Mines takes more than a week before it becomes snappy on music files.

  • E5 music player library not updating automatically

    I have an E5. Earlier when I downloaded new songs on my phone and opened the music player, it automatically searched for new tracks and updated itself. Now I dont know what has happened it doesnt get updated automatically and I have to update it manually. Can I get a fix for it? Please help.

    It is normal for the music player not to always update automatically, whenever adding music, open player and select options>refresh Music Player !

  • Nokia N96 music player stopped working?

    I recently put some new music onto my n96 and then i went to play it on the music player but the music player won't work at all, i can't even open the albums,artists etc. I went to file manager and selected on of my tracks and opened it and it said unable to play file? It seems that my music player has dissappearred, can anyone help?? 

    28days is your maximum for a replacement after that it's a repair. I know cause I've had the same problems spent over three days doing all the same things. just take it back & get your new one before it's too late.
    I bought mine before christmas 18th Dec. took it back to Phones for you on sunday 31st. jan. we can only repair it.
    even though it had never worked properly & i had proof of my emails to nokia the answer was still the same & that Phones for you should have been contacted not nokia as that was who i bought it off! now I'm without my phone for 2 weeks while nokia looks at it for me then i have to wait for Phones for u to get in touch to go pick it up.
    Go change it if you have this problem.
    wait at your peril!!

  • Nokia n96 music player

    Hi,
    I've transferred music onto the mass storage using windows media player. They are all mp3 files that I used to have on my old n95, so I don't think there's any DRM issues. I can see (and play) the new music in file manager, put if I hit refresh library in the music player it sits there for ages saying refreshing and doesn't find any music. I left it overnight and it still found nothing by the morning. Does anyone have any ideas what's gone wrong? I've looked on here and can't seem to see anyone else who's having the same problem I don't think.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Before opting to reformat your phone, you could try my advice.
    Just to be safe, make a backup of your phone first to avoid losing any personal data.
    You could try to "fix" the file corruption that has happened to the storage media where your music is stored.
    1. Connect the phone via USB (Mass Storage Mode)
    2. Take note which drive your music is stored in your phone (D:\ or E:\ or F:\ etc)
    3. Make sure you close all Windows Explorer windows (or any software accessing your phone's storage)
    4. Open command prompt (in Windows XP: Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt)
    5. On the command prompt window, type:
    chkdsk F: /f
    *Note: replace "F:" with the drive letter of the storage media where your music is located in your phone (refer to step 2)
    6. Press the ENTER key to start checking your storage media for errors and automatically fixing them. If it asks:
    Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
    process.  Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first.
    ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
    Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N)
    Just type Y then press ENTER. The checking/fixing might take a while. You should be able to refresh your Music Library without any problems
    Goodluck.

  • Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. Th...

    my Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. The filemanager does though. have tried every damn thing that i could, from the internet. no solution yet. Nokia wont address it. any solutions? please dont ask me to refersh my music player. nokia now manufactures stupid phones, instead of smartphones..
    can any one help, friends? the last option i have to sell it off and wait for an HTC qwerty mango 7.5 phone

    I perfectly understand that this is frustrating and of course Nokia should adress this.
    I do not work for Nokia so maybe you could contact them. I see you have been to a care centre and reset it, but hopefully by contacting them by email they can log the issue for further work on firmwares?
    I hope this sorts out. Have you btw, tried with some other memory card?
    If it's not too much of a struggle, try backing up everything you have on it and format it, then reboot the phone which will recreate the needed folders and then drag and drop your stuff back to it and check again.
    Hope you get it solved mate!

  • My player will not shuffle songs since last download of music?

    My player will not shuffle songs since last downlaod of music

    Hi Nannohelp,
    If you are having interface issues with your iPod nano (won't shuffle), a reset has not resolved it, and you have all your music available in iTunes, you may want to try restoring your iPod to factory settings, reloading the music from iTunes, then testing the shuffle function. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Nokia 5800XM Music player no longer working after ...

    Anyone can help me???
    After updating to firmware v50, my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic music player is not working anymore. The phone won't stop refreshing the music library. I got 900 songs in my memory card and the music player not adding even one song to the library. ANYONE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM??

    I didn't had any problem like that. You should --
    1)Copy all your songs, pics, vids from your memory card to your computer.Then
    2)Format your memory card through your computer by right click--format. Do not check the option "Quick Format".Then
    3)Insert the memory card in your phone and format it by the phone.Then
    4)Download any video converterfrom here-- http://www.any-video-converter.com/download-avc-free.php     and install it in your pc.Then
    5)Convert all your music files to .aac format.Remember convert all the music files to .aac format.Then
    6)Convert all your videos to .mp4 format.Then
    7)Copy all the stuff(music,videos..etc)into your memory card.Then
    8)Unplug the data cable of phone and restart.Then
    9)Go to Music and Refresh your Library.
    I hope it works.

  • Iphone 4s ios7 music player was not working, here's a bug fix.

    hi there
    i had a problem with my wifes iphone 4s, today morning while travelling to work i changed a setting on repeat option and changed it to repeat artist, it was fine until when i finish my work and on my way back i found songs are not playing anymore, lots of stop signs next to my song list, play/pause button not working, album arkwork keep moving from one to another on its own, so after i reach home i try to do some research on Apple support communities, try to soft reset my phone closing all the apps on background didnt work, also note that control centre music player was not working as well. none of the solutions worked. after trying for two hours i found out that the trouble is in repeat options , so i changed it from repeat artist to repeat off. and the music start playing as usual, but i still have those stop buttons next to the songs i tried to play earlier. At least it fixed temporarily. please also note that in the meantime i tried to sync my phone with the pc and suddenly its start syncing all the songs again assuming there were no songs on my iphone.  so guys i think soft reset might not help all the time but try to remember what settings you changed recently and change it back to the original option, not sure ,but it might help. hopin this will help some of you out there. and i already feed it back to Apple, so hopefully they will fix it soon.

    Not sure why you are having problems. I have had no problems with my 4S playing music after the update. Hopefully you will get it worked out.

  • Nokia 6085 music player error

    i just purchased a nokia 6085, but the music player does not play any kind of music, be it mp3, wav, wma, aac, amr, etc...it tells me "cannot create media player. DRM exception: 3
    (javax.microedition.media.MediaException:device error audio/mp3)"
    i've exchanged my phone for a new one, but the new one has the exact same problem. i can play the music file in the gallery, but if it's played in the gallery, i can't close the phone, nor can it skip to the next song. actually, the very first hour or so that i got both phones, it worked, but somehow it suddenly stopped working (i didn't change anything at all, i just left it there). i went to ask the people in the store, but they didn't know either. any help? please?

    hi all. i hope someone can help me transfer a playlist i created on the pc suite to the memory card. it only allows me to transfer to the phone and of course i get a msg stating that i don't have enough memory. for some reason it's not recognizing the memory card. i've formatted the card and still nothing. i can directly transefr from my pc but they end up being individual files. please help! thx-miko
