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?
Solved!

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?

Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

Thank you for responding.
Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
I will try downloading latest updates.
I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

HT4623 After this last update my music does not recognize my songs and my yahoo acct does not load, what's the deal?

I just got my yahoo mail working, however my music app is not recognizing my songs except for the one I downloaded after buying my iPhone 5. What is the deal?

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

I downloaded carbon copy. transferred entire internal hd to new replacement HD thru USB. computer booted from replacement hrdrive. then installed replacement hard rive into iMac. when rebooting imac did not recognized new replacement hd.

i downloaded carbon copy. transferred entire internal hd to new replacement HD thru USB adapter kit. computer booted from replacement hrdrive. then i erased the internal hardrive and reloaded the operating system.( i needed to find out if the hard drive was bad or virus/worm was the cause). then installed replacement hard drive into iMac. when rebooting, imac did not recognized new replacement hd. i also upgraded memory at the same time. ok what did i do wrong. do i have to remove the new replacement hardrive to extract the data.

It should not matter. CCC will "clone" the recovery partition as well, but not knowing exactly what operation you had CCC perform it is difficult to know what may have gone wrong - it has many customizable options and you have to choose the correct one.
I have performed the same transplant as you described and didn't have a problem, but if your Mac is not recognizing the internal HD you really have no choice other than to reinitialize it as suggested. After that, install OS X, upgrade to Mountain Lion if required, and migrate your old account(s) from your backup.
my backups have backups.
I assume you didn't mean that literally. Have redundant backups - don't "back up your backups".

ITunes not recognizing new PC and, therefore, doesn't recognize my IPOD

ITunes not recognizing new PC even though it says it is authorized. The result: ITunes doesn't recognize my IPOD. It does still have my old PC name attached to my account. What can I do to rectify this situation?

It could be a tiny bit of fluff in the dock that's preventing a particular wire from connecting. A magnifying glass and a decent light should let you inspect the port. If there is any rubbish lodged in the dock opening use a can of compressed air or a fine needle to ease it out taking care not to damage the connectors.

Can not sync new songs, when I transferred info from computers took identity of old computer and now I have 2 identities on 1 computer

I can not sync new songs on new computer. When I transferred info from the old computer to the new one it also took the identity from the old computer
so it says I can not do anything because I currently have 2 identities.

If you have successfully transferred your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then go ahead and restore the Nano to factory settings in iTunes on your new PC. This process will deassociate the iPod with the computer and allow it to start syncing with the new one.

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?

Walkman not recognizing new download songs

I've downloaded new songs to my device. I can play them via file commander 1 by 1 and they play via Sony Walkman. But these new songs are not added to Walkman list and do not even show in folders. Have tried restarting the phone and checking for nomedia file but in vain. What to do..

This was exactly my problem with Walkman app. You will just encounter that problem if you try to copy that mp3 to your sdcard1 but if you stick it with sdcard0 no problem will occur and it can be read by Walkman app, but shouldn't be like that, the problem is within the r/w maybe formatting your sdcard1 on your pc will solve it but that a quite a hassle, save your data - format- place all your music to sdcard1/media/audio and mount it again wait for a minute and all your mp3s will be recognized again if you don't have the folder create one. And you can also try moving your mp3s to sdcard1/ media/audio unmount then restart phone, saw someone solve their problem by just doing that saves you time formatting. Goodluck

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 !!

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.

Supernova Music player "not enough memory"

Hi,
I like my phone, but recently, when i try to acess my music file and everytime i play them using Muisc player
"not enogh" memory pops up but i have 20mb free file for my 2 gig memory card and 30mb for the phone memory...
ive tried updating the files thur "update music library" but still the same issue...
the music can play but i have to go to my memory card just to pick a song and its so much better with the music player application....
help please =(

Refreshing the library only updates a database file by finding new tracks on the memory card.
I suspect the issue is connected to your phone software, all you can really do on this type of phone is to try to update the software (www.nokia.com/softwareupdate) - if you already have the latest version, it will be reinstalled and should overwrite any problems.
You need to backup your personal data from the phone memory (contacts, messages etc.) before doing this, when you restore the backup after the update, I recommend that you untiick any items from the restoration that you don't use, and whatever happens leave out 'settings' from he restoration.

2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs. It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes. If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
NOTE: If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music. Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content. If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod. Or you can use existing playlists. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod. The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

Windows media player not recognized as a valid plug-in in safari?

on this PB 15 1.67/OS 10.4.3 I experienced some difficult in installing a piece of software, here's the thread....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1360929#1360929
prior to this difficulty, I had installed windows media player to access video clips embedded on news web sites etc, and everything worked fine, video usually streamed right into the media player, not saving a file to the desktop, but merely playing in a window....
to solve the software install problem above, I returned to the apple store & they suggested and helped me accomplish an archive & re-install of the OS, and afterwards, the problem software installed properly...
since the archive & re-install of OS 10.4.3, my windows media player is not recognized as a valid plug-in by safari.
when I click on a video link (embedded), a seperate window appears that describes my need to install windows media player 9 for mac (and it's already in my app's folder), when I download the file to attempt re-installing media player, stuffit doesn't seem to un zip the file after double clicking on it, no app file appears on the desktop to mount in the apps dierctory?
if the video link is not embedded, I can cntrl-click and save the file to the desktop and it will play normally, but if the file is embedded I have no means to see the news clip etc?
also, for those video files that are not embedded, instead of playing directly via streaming, when a link is clicked, the file downloads to the desktop before playing?
these aren't huge problems (well when trying to view an embedded news clip it is!) but any help in trying to return to normal behaviour would help!
thanks again,
dave
powerbook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

thanks for the link, but I wa really looking into making the win media player function as it had before I had to archive & re-load OS 10.4.3
I use the player infrequently, but it drives me crazy when I'm looking @ a news page w/an embedded video and can't merely click it's link & see the clip!
any thoughts on why I can't get the win media player sitx file to un-stuff and possibly re-install win media player to allow safari to recognize it as a valid plug-in?
thanks again....
dave
