Shuffle-function in music player

I recently bought the N8 and after spending a few days of tagging and downloading album art hours I finally managed to successfully transfer my mp3 library over to the phone with minimal errors occuring.
However, one thing that gives me a headache is that I just can't figure out how to turn the shuffle playback mode off. There's a button in the music player for turning it ON, but pressing it once again does not appear to de-activate the function, and I can't find a dedicated button for turning it off. Been searching all the menues for this too, but no luck...
Anyone got an idea how to solve this?

Select a song using the shuffle icon, then when it is playing select options and a different menu appears, one option of which allows you to select shuffle on or off.

  • Lost the Find function in Music Player "upgrade" !...

    This has gone in the v5 software update for 5800XM.
    What's that all about ? I've got 12GB of music on mine, and now I can't search !
    Was this an oversight or deliberate ?
    Hmm...

  • Bugs & Improvements - Music Player - Shuffle won't shuffle past 300

    I have encountered a bug and experiences of major lag functionality while using the Music player.
    1. Shuffle appears to not want to shuffle past the #300. It continually bounces around in numbers under that mark no matter what category I'm in and I have over 1000 songs on my Touchpad. So maybe, 124,28,287,145...etc
    2. The volume slider lags fairly heavily at times. Especially when you have more than one app open and you are multi-tasking. Also, it is redundent to also display the volume popup in the middle of the screen. I think just messing with the slider in the music app is sufficient.
    3. Scubbing through a song is sometimes laggy as well.
    4. Why is the fullscreen button there? why doesn't it show a picture of the Album Art or a CD front or something, and when in 'cover flow' why doesn't it then swap that button out for an icon that looks like lines with numbers or something...which is what its going back to. The full screen button seems a bit off to me. Also the snap transition from List View -> Cover Flow is a bit abrupt (it just pops), with all the other fades and nice ease in eaes out in other parts of the interface you'd think that all things would be that same way for the sake of consistency.
    5. Flick Kinetic scrolling through the song list is also laggy especially with multiple apps open or multi tasking. i.e. Browser & Mail, when I am experiencing lag.
    6. Cover Flow - Kinetic Scrolling/Flicking, I would like to be able to flick and have kinetic scrolling in the Cover Flow Album Art View. It would be to flick through multiple songs instead of just ONE at a time, which can be a tad slow when you sometimes have upwards of 5000+ songs in a library. Would also be nice to see the song number in the Cover Flow as well.
    On the plus side the Music player in the Notification Bar is fantastic and works well from the lock screen as well. Love it when songs change and you are notified when in other apps. That is very well implemented. The beats audio is also great, argueably the best sound out of a tablet. 
    Just my 2 cents!

    Thank you for your comments and the issue you have found. I will be passing the shuffle problem along to engineering as a possible bug.

  • Music player widgit with shuffle

    i'm looking for a flash music player widgit that does the following:
    1) will shuffle songs, so that everytime someone visits my page with the player, the exact same song doesn't kick in.
    2) music will automatically start when you go to the page.
    I have been using Nimbit's software widget as flash music player for my home page (folks can also purchase songs in the player). However, the fact that I can't reorder tracks without spending time making a whole new project for sale, or shuffle the songs is driving me nuts.
    I've searched this iWeb message board, and found a variety of flash player widgets, but it is not clear if any of these shuffle tunes in the way I am desiring (i.e. new song from playlist with each visit).
    Thanks in advance.

    The enhanced version of the JW player should be able to handled shuffle by adding - &shuffle=1 - into the code. I haven't tried it in this mode.
    The player has a user selectable shuffle button also.
    See...

    ... where I am illustrating the autoplay function and also the much request autoresume function.

  • N95 Music Player Search/Scroll Functions - more us...

    I don't know if this is a bug, or an incomplete function? If it doesn't exist, I would surely love to see it in the next firmware upgrade (hint: Nokia people, take note!).
    When I was viewing "all songs" in my music player, I wanted to search songs in alphabetical order. The search box popped up, but it wasn't working. One possible reason that I thought of was that it is case-sensitive (since all my songs start with a capital, ie. "Damien Rice - Blower's Daughter"). The search function was only in small letters; holding the # key didn't switch it to caps.
    Upon experimenting by renaming a song in small letters and also in numbers, i discovered that the search function still didn't work. Is this a bug?
    On a side note, I realized that the scroll function in the music player can only scroll downwards from the first item, as opposed to scrolling "up" to the last song. It is a real hassle to scroll to the last song in the list if you have like a hundred songs! Can this be rectified as well?
    All these small things make a difference to users like me... as it's really all about user-friendliness.
    Any thoughts, any one?

    All you need to do is create a playlist and call it what you like, if the music is on your phone music player will find it and you can select individual tracks or albums and add to playlst or create new ! Also you can use Ovi suite to sync/ transfe music to your phoner or create playlists. Personally I just drag and drop music onto my phone that I like and use PlaylistDJ from Ovi store.
    Good Luck

  • IPhone 4s iOS6 Music Player Sleep Function

    Am I missung something in the music player on the iPhone.  Is there no Sleep Function? If there is no sleep function how could Apple overlook this feature.  I remember having it on my iPod Classic.

    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.

  • Removing album art work from standard HTC music player + shuffle issue

    Hey Everyone,
    My apologies if this has already been posted but I am having 2 issues with the music player....
    1) is there a way for the album artwork NOT to load/display for the phones standard music player? Not a major issues compared to the other (and plentiful) issues related to 2.2 but I imagine with no album artwork there would be more available memory, and regardless of the artist all my songs (1800+) have the same album artwork ...that may be related to how they were listed on my PC but either way, I do not want the album artwork to display.
    Is there a way to delete the album artwork from the phone? I know there are other music players out there, but the standard player is preferrable
    2) is anyone else experiencing an issue with the Shuffle option? As mentioned before I have 1800+ songs on my memory card but when I have the shuffle on, it seems to play only the same subset of songs. For example, the first song that came on was "Elysian Fields-Sugarplum Arches" but after that song was complete, I scrolled thru about 7 songs and that song came up again.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue with one particular album cover that seems to get assigned to a huge portion of the albums that were fine prior to 2.2 but now they are identified as Unknown.  I have deleted the album and songs that is written to all the other songs/ablums and it still uses its picture when I reload the other songs/albums.
    I even have albums that seem to be correct (picture and songs match album) but they get stuffed in the Unknown album folder.

  • The E6 music player is practically useless-

    …compared with the music player in E71 (S60 ver. 500.21.009)
    1. Missing is the incremental real time search in any list of songs which searched in any part of the name - not just the beginning. It worked by just starting to type on the hardware keyboard at any time while in the "All songs" list for example.
    2. Missing are the categorized lists by:
      All songs
      Artists
      Albums
      Genres
      Composers
    Most annoyingly the above two features still exist in the Ringtone selection screen (when customizing a profile) exactly as they were in the E71 - this means that the underlying database is still intact and could support the functionality.
    3. It is impossible to add the currently playing song to a play list from the "Now playing" screen. You need to hit "back" to go to the "Songs" screen and long-tap the song to get "Add to playlist" from the context menu.
    4. The shuffle mode is switched off after almost any operation - most notably selecting a new song to play, or even tapping the currently playing song in the "Songs" list to go to the "Now playing" screen.
    5. The keyboard is TOTALLY unused! There is no more previous, next, play, pause with the direction keys... which makes is impossible to do any of those operations "by touch" when the hone is in your pocket.
    6. And when the phone is in your pocket with the music application in the foreground the screen will auto lock, therefore doing anything but adjusting the volume requires taking the phone out, unlocking it and using the touch screen - which does not work with gloves for example!
    7. The "fancy 3D scrolling album art" screen is completely useless for a big collection of unrelated songs from different artists/albums.
    I understand that Anna was developed for full screen touch phones without a hardware keyboard like the X7, but the music player is a HUGE step backward from what we had in the E71. In it's current state it is almost unusable and is the most annoying part of the otherwise beautiful E6.
    After contacting Nokia support directly three times all I got was a "we don't know, we don’t care" attitude to my completely reasonable questions of whether and when the music player will be fixed and if it is possible to have the old one form the 5x version ported and released for Anna. The functionality in the ringtone selection screen proves that the supporting infrastructure is intact and the problem is purely in the (brain damaged) design of the new music player.
    P.S. I am using the current 022.014 software release.
    P.P.S. I did read the "fix your Album artist ID3 tags" (e.g.) /t5/Software-Updates/Symbian-Anna-Troubleshooting/td-p/1127953 it is impractical for a collection of 2391 songs, does not address any of the points above and is a lame excuse for a broken application.

    I had precisely the same problems.  E6 a great phone, but the music player sofware really really sucks and very difficult to use. 
    Anyone knows if any of the problems listed above by 'ruevs' been solved by a sofware update ?
    I had a E5 previously and music player so much better to handle.
    Another problem I have with E6: when I open 'messages' via the shortkey long press button, it opens at 'messaging' listing all my 'sent items'. 
    Can the settings be changed to open via the short key in the 'Folders' option, which gives you all the options to choose from 'Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Outbox, etc'.  Or is this a software setting I cannot change ? 
    In the E5 it has this option of opening 'Folders' with messaging short key.
    or:
    if I open the 'Inbox', it gives me 'all the folders' option on the top of the screen to choose from, which is good. Can the short key message button settings be changed to open in 'Inbox' option directly ?
    If not, then it is another problem and not better than the E5 which had these options.
    Another question: can the options on the homescreens only be selected by touch, not also by the Scroll key ?  Can it be changed in a setting to use the scroll key also in home screens ?
    In other screens the scroll key works, but not in homescreens ?
    Thank you for the answers, I appreciate it.

  • IOS Music Player MP3 Gapless Playback Problem

    Hi,
    I've been having this gapless playback issue on iOS now for the past few years, since at least iOS 6 if I can remember correctly. The number one reason I use an iPhone and iOS devices is for gapless playback in the iOS music player. For the last few years I've  been experiencing a bug with the stock iOS music player on my iPhone 4S using iOS 6 and on my iPhone 5 using iOS 6 & 7, and currently on my new iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2. This only happens on my iPhones and using iOS, this bug is not found when I use my iPod classic or when playing the same albums through iTunes.
    I thought it might have been spotted by other iOS users and fixed in iOS 7.1 or at least the current version of iOS 8, but instead it's gotten worse, albums that used to play smoothly between transitions now suddenly pause and jump for a split second when changing from track to track.
    What's happening is, I listen to a lot of albums that are continuously DJ mixed and play straight through without any pauses between tracks, and I've been experiencing problems a lot now with random split second pauses between tracks and choppy transitions. These albums in question have been ripped from cd using the latest versions of iTunes.
    For example,
    I'd be listening to an album and it would play gapless and smooth for most of the album, but maybe one or two transitions on the album would have a split second pause between them, and the rest of the album would play perfectly with no pauses, skips or jumps at all.
    This only happens on my iPhone, as I have a 160gb iPod classic and I've listened to all the same albums on it and never has a problem playing the album without any pauses, every album plays 100% smooth and gapless on it.
    I mailed Apple about it through their feedback page on their site... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Hoping that they would take note of this and try and look into it and fix the issue. That was probably about a year ago now, never got fixed or got any confirmation back from them about this problem. Then last August, I'd had enough and contacted Apple support to notify them about this issue. They told me the usual story, "have you tried restoring the phone?", which I obliged and did. The problem was there on a freshly restored iPhone 5.
    So they told me that they would put me in touch with someone higher in Apple to take the case further, "great" I thought.
    I spoke with a senior care advisor and explained the problem and agreed to send detailed explanations of the issue and test files too so that they could hopefully hear what I was talking about. But after a few weeks of going back and forward, I finally got them to hear the issue with the random pauses, the first week they denied there was a problem and said the files played ok on their test iOS devices, so I myself tried the files on another iOS device and the same problem was there.
    The last correspondence I had with the Apple care advisor was back in the end of August / start of  September, and she told me that they spotted the issue and was told by the tech's that it would be fixed in a future update, I never got a when this would happen, I was just told to make sure my iOS device was up to date with the latest version of iOS. I couldn't speak to an actual technician, got no follow up support, just a vague "We'll look into it." Case Closed.
    I got so sick of this problem that I sold my iPhone and iPad just after this last phone call with the Apple people, and switched over to Android. I'd being reading up on gapless playback music players and found out that there's a good few available for Android devices. I got myself a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, twice as powerful as the iPhone 6 and half the price. I was using that for the last few months, and playing my music through Neutron Music Player app which is a great music player which plays gapless 100%
    But I couldn't really take to Android OS, seeing as I've been using Apple products for around 10 years now and iOS since the iPhone 3G. So I decided to contact Apple again and see if they'd fixed the music player issue in iOS yet.
    I wrote a long email explaining the problem, how it wasn't really looked at properly, and how I was a long time Apple customer and had to resort to switching over to Android because the basic music player functions on iOS devices have bugs. I took a chance in mailing this to Tim Cook's offices, I knew he wouldn't reply personally, just thought that it might get read by someone in his offices with a bit more say in the matter.
    Just before Xmas, I got a call from someone from executive relations from my local Apple offices about this. He seemed nice and was aware of the problem from reading back through my emails and previous case notes from August when I opened this case originally.
    We had a talk and he said he would get one of the tech's to call me too about this so that I could explain the bugs to someone more knowledgeable about iOS.
    A few days later I received a call from one of the tech's at Apple and was chatting to him, explaining the problem. His response was that he thinks Apple doesn't support gapless playback on current iOS devices. From looking at the gapless playback information page on the Apple support site below, it looks like it hasn't been updated to show any iPhone models after the iPhone 3GS... http://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT201644
    I was trying to explain to him how ridiculous this sounded, why would Apple stop supporting basic functions on their music player on iOS devices? It makes no sense at all? You can see that the amount of hardware devices and software that supports gapless playback today... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback#Player_support
    He couldn't explain either, he just said that because it's not listed there on the Apple support page.
    Then the next day I got the follow up call from the Apple executive relations guy, he was stating that he was speaking to the tech guy that called me and it looks like Apple doesn't support gapless playback anymore, from looking at the documentation on site.
    I told him how stupid this was, and how lots of music players have gapless playback as standard today. And if they don't support it now, then why does it play through some parts of the albums on iOS ok and then just randomly pause, or have jumpy / choppy transitions on the rest of the album. If it was the case, no albums would play gaplessly at all, it would be like when the first ever iPod's were released back in the day with no gapless playback and would pause for a split second between every transition.
    He couldn't give me an answer and said that maybe down the line they would start supporting it again, and that I should request the feature to be added to future iOS versions via the iPhone feedback page... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    He just kept on emphasising that it was "NOT A BUG OR ISSUE", trying to cover up the problem because the info on the site wasn't updated to show the current iOS devices. Which in itself is wrong, looking at the page it says "Supported iPod and iPhone models (make sure you have the latest iPod or iPhone software)"
    iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS only go up to iOS 6, so that contradicts itself when the latest version is iOS 8.
    The info is out of date and needs to be updated. So in August I was told, "we found the issue and will look into it" and a few months later, "it's not an issue", what's a cop out.
    I was annoyed and taken back by this response, and really found it hard to believe that this was the case, Apple stopping supporting their music player on iOS devices. Seeing as iTunes plays everything smoothly and no gapless issues. I just went out and bought an iPhone 6 for €900 / $1060, and for that money you'd expect it's basic music player to work. It's total BS to think that a top computer software / hardware company would just decide to abandon basic functions in their devices, especially when we are talking about how much Apple takes pride in their products and how much more they charge for them over their competitors.
    So this is my next step to try and get this problem seen and out in the open more. The more people who know about it and are aware of the issue, the better.
    Hopefully more people can get the word around and get this noticed by Apple and finally fixed.
    I've uploaded some test files below to show the problem. The files are mp3's and aac, and have been ripped from cd using the latest version of iTunes. The mp3's are the ones with the issue, but the aac play with no problem. If you listen to the transition at the end of track 2 (2-02 Colours (JH Re-Edit)) going into the start of track 3 (2-03 Your Body), you will notice the split second pause / jump. But listen to the aac version and compare it to the mp3 version and you will hear that it plays back fine, just as it's supposed to. Try them in iTunes too and both versions playback fine, no jumps or pauses.
    You can download them here, all links have the same files, I just uploaded them to different hosts for other people's choosing...

    https://www.sendspace.com/file/lubcmc
    More files can be provided if needed to show the problem happening on various other albums.
    I really hope that people can spot this issue too and help get this fixed, I know this gapless playback feature might not be important to some people, but like I said at the start, it's an essential function for me in a music player and I use it on a daily basis when I listen to music.
    Thanks for reading this long rant of mine, appreciate it.
    Ger

    I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red. I know for sure that most of these marked transitions are indeed broken and that the most of the transitions not marked in red work flawlessly... I honestly can't remember whether or not some of these transitions were gapless or not, but the many transitions I do remember working or not working match up exactly with whether or not the songs on either side of the transition were also on other sides of the 256kbps threshold, the threshold at which I enabled iTunes to convert tracks to 256kbps AAC.
    I'm going to try re-sync'ing my library with that "feature" disabled and see if it fixes my gapless playback problem. Will post the results once I test it out.
