5800 Ordering in podcasts within music player- Pod...

Within the music player on a 5800XM, how can I control the ordering of podcasts when using
the Podcasts->By Title search option with the music player...??
What this currently does is orders these is the newest first order, where as if you
a listening to a radio drama (like me, who listens to the Archers approx twice a week)
you want these to be in the oldest first order!
Cheers Tony

Hi TonyMac,
I don't know if there's a way, and I am annoyed by this missing feature too.
I just wanted to advise you against upgrading to firmware v50, as the podcast section of the music player lost important functionality.
Now browsing podcasts by title is your only option. Gone are shortcuts like "recently added", "never played", "by date" etc. That's very sad, as "recently added" makes so much sense with podcasts!
I also don't understand why we cannot add podcasts to a playlist. Podcasts are just mp3 files like all other music files.
I am now looking for a way to downgrade the firmware (or just the music player) to v40. I regret so much having updated!!

5800 - Stop ringtones playing in music player - ho...

As the subject suggests - does anyone know how to do this?
I find it very annoying when I choose to listen to all music and the ringtones or message tones play

I've found a workaround for this problem that seems to work for me on my 5800 XM Nav Ed. After I was done adding all of my music to my phone and refreshed my music library I too found that the ringtones that I'd downloaded in the past had showed up in the music player when I displayed all songs. So what I did was remove the ringtones from the "Sounds\Digital Sounds" folder on my external memory card and moved them to the "Other" folder on the phone's internal memory using the built in file manager application. Then I went back into the music player app and low and behold the ringtones were no longer displayed in the music library when I displayed all songs. I did however have to go back to the phone profiles that I had customized (i.e. Normal, meeting, etc.) and reselect the appropriate ringtone because when you first go into the profile to customize after having moved the tones from their original location to the "Other" folder you get an error message that basically states the ringtone cannot be found so a default will be used. When you select the ringtone to change it however, the original ringtone that you used will be displayed in the list of available tones you just have to reselect it to make it work again. If however you do add more songs and do a refresh on the music library the ringtones will show up again when you display all songs in the music library. Hope you find this works for you as well. Like I said it is a workaround and not a permanent fix.

5800 Xpressmusic software update made music player...

Hello,
I recently used the Ovi suite program to upgrade the software of my 5800 Xpressmusic. After the update was completed, which was to make lyrics available in the music player, I was no longer able to open the music player. I am unable to open any of the music files on my phone. I restored the phone to the status before the upgrade and still nothing works.
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!

5800 Sooo many problems with music Player

Hey everyone... I'm kind of at my wit's end here... I got the 5800 about 3 weeks ago, and I've just had problem after problem with the music functions...
#1 problem: I don't use Nokia music as my main player (obviously, who does?) I use media monkey or itunes.
#2: I synced using media monkey once manually with a few albums and it worked perfectly, then I tried auto sync -all albums added to the card became "unknown" artists and albums... manual sync no longer works
#3: completely separate to this, music I add using nokia music periodically decides that it is by unknown artist and unknown album and unknown genre
#4: this happens only sometimes with music, but Always with podcasts
#5: Podcasts are now blocked from me entirely, I can only enter 'by title' and then tapping on anything within it gives 'system error' - I had this once before and sort of fixed it by taking everything off the card and putting it back on, that doesn't work anymore. (ARGH)
#6: even from day 1 I've had problems with the headset in the box... I use my own headphones with the remote, but it also periodically stops working, along with the handset volume key (but oddly, the volume key works with radio) I also fixed this once by adding new files and deleting others in nokia music, that doesn't work now either
#7: I reset it once, deleting everything useful, but still leaving me with all the problems
#8: I don't think it's news to anyone that Nokia music sucks big time but i honestly can't get it to load without it crashing 3 times first. It is resource hungry and the f***ing splash blocks everything when it tries to load - I also can't edit the properties of anything once it's on the phone which is s**t
#9: can someone please help me find an alternative sync program so i don't have to use nokia music?
#10: nokia, your forum editing gadget is buggy... I try to delete a space and it deletes two characters instead.
HELP ME PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU
Thanks.

I'm rather sorry Meg to hear that you believe i am patronising you. you are clearly making an assumption that is untrue, as if you had read my post clearly you would have seen that i am offering possible solutions which is the purpose of this board. whether this comes across as patronising because i have had prior experience with your problems, and not saying 'may' or 'maybe' all over my post just to make sure = you taking my advice too personally.
and yes, you CAN defragment the registry, programs such as Auslogics BoostSpeed perform this function, and if you do not believe me, then Google defragmentation, read documentation, unfortunately you are incorrect on this notion. and as I said, i am offering solutions, you are the one who is assuming that i believe you have an incompetent level of knowledge which is not the case. i am offering solutions, you just took it too personally. and at the end of my post there is a , which stands for a light-hearted joke, if that hadn't been there perhaps you would have justification to take issue with me. but again i am stating possible causes.
so just chill out ok? we are all trying to help you on these boards, some of us offer a more technical approach to attempting to solve problems, but it does not mean we are patronising users. hope your problems with your phone can be solved.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Can I use the Podcast app like the older iOS 6 Music Player?

I've updated to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1 and found that things seem drastically different.
How i used to do podcasts:
Subscribe to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
Sync to iPhone using a cable
What used to happen:
Podcasts that were selected to sync did if there were unplayed episodes
The Music player would list only those podcasts where there were unplayed episodes
Now things have changed. I immediately was told that none of my podcasts were playable without the Podcast app. I downloaded it and installed it.
What is happening now:
Still subscribing to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
Sync to iPhone using a cable
Podcasts showing unplayed in iTunes on my Mac = 46
Podcasts showing unplayed in the Podcast app = 57 - the difference appears to be that the podcast app is showing non-downloaded podcasts
Podcast app showing all podcasts whether or not there are any to play. The list includes podcasts that are not supposed to sync to my phone.
The Podcast listing appears to be in a random order (actual list shown)-
Apple Keynotes (no episodes)
This week in Photo (8 episodes)
Jake and Amir (no episodes)
Podcast Beyond (no episodes)
Accidental Tech Podcast (no episodes)
Vector (1 episode)
Podcasts with no new episodes now show a new episode though it looks like the episode is not downloaded
I'm not sure why what is being shown in iTunes is not being shown in the Podcast app.
Is there anyway to get the old behavior using the Podcast app?

Additional information. Can this be right?
I spoke to Apple support who said that the settings for podcast syncing in iTunes are no longer being used since Apple moved to their Podcast app.
This may explain why I see all 45 podcasts on my iphone when I only have 15 of them set to sync.
She also said that I would need to manually sync listened/unlistened podcasts between my Mac and my mobile devices since podcasts were no longer being synced from iTunes.
Can anyone verify?

How do I change the album order to "oldest-first" in my iPhone music player?

Ok, so up until my last update to iOS 7.1 when I opened an artist in my music player it would list their albums from the oldest to the newest, but since I updated to the new version, albums of any particular artist are listed from newest-to-oldest. I know how to change this order with podcasts, that's easy enough, but how to I change back to "Oldest first" for the music player? Please tell me this is possible, I much prefer to listen to bands' music in order.

Unless you opt to create a playlist and manually order the tracks, you can't.

Sort order for MP3's in Music Player

Shouldn't MP3 files within an album be sorted alphabetically according to their file names, or at least to some ID3 tag (such as Track No. or Title)? I have copied a folder containing a music album on the memory card of my N85, and after refreshing, I see the tracks listed in a completely random order, even though the files are clearly named, according to the pattern "Artist - Album - Title.MP3".
Can anyone guess why this is happening? Is there a way to specifically tell Music Player how you want your files sorted? Thanks for any help!

All I do is run an album through windows media Player before dragging and dropping it onto my phone (right click album on WMP and select find album info) and it works fine, all album art., albums, tracks , artist info etc as it should be !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

N97 Firmware 2.1 Music Player - Podcast listing

I just updated to 2.1, and within the music player - podcasts, i have lost, Never Played, recently heard, all podcasts and now only have listing by podcast name. liked the prior features, anyone know if this is a bug or "upgrade"?
thanks

I had the same problem with my N97 after fw upgrade and was about to chuck it out the window for good before I found this RE:defective music library:
http://sjc-nokia5800.blogspot.com/
Here's what I did: (same resetting method modified for N97 fw 2.0)
1) Connect your phone to your computer in Mass Storage mode
2) Browse to the following folders and delete ONLY the files inside, NOT THE FOLDERS:
Private/101ffc31, Private/101ffca9 and Private/10281e17
3) Unmount/Disconnect the phone
4) Go to Music Library and N97 should show a "Corrupt Music Library" message and start fixing it automatically.
5) A few minutes later (depending on the size of your music library) it will show "#### New Songs Added" and everything should be back to normal.
Hope this is useful to someone.
My personal 2 cents: I think it's a compatibility bug in music catalog files between fw 1.x and 2.0, and strongly believe Nokia must clean up its act on its symbian flagship.

5800: a music player that remembers where it stopp...

Hi,
I had many reasons to buy the 5800 but one of them was the music player. I listen to it in the gym using BT headphones. Frankly I'm amazed I never see anyone else with BT headphones but that's a different topic. Best music technology ever
The problem is that despite this being an Xpressmusic device the music player is a bit marginal, IMO. The thing I miss most compared to regular mp3 players is the capability to remember where it was stopped the last time. You're listening to a playlist and you turn of the player when you go home. Next time you turn on the player you want it to pick up where it was and continue with the same song in the same location in the same playlist. You could say you could remember where you stopped but that's silly. What if you had a long podcast or audio book? Wouldn't it make sense to continue where you stopped?
I realize I can pause the player and keep it running in the background but that means I can't power of my phone, right?
I've looked at two alternative players and they don't seem to support this most basic feature either. Why? Doesn't anyone take phones seriously as mp3 replacements?
I hope Nokia reads this and considers sneaking in this minor feature in the next 5800 update or as an Ovi download.
Thanks for reading!
Sander
PS pretty impressed with the phone overall!

Well, technically speaking, exiting the music player would still remember what the song was last, but not turning the phone off. I dont think any application can do this as it would require to have the internal extra battery (CMOS battery I think) to continuously supply power to the phone's processor, which it does not.
Also, as a smartphone, it consumes too much battery in powering up and powering down that it is really not advisable to turn it on and off in the first place, and in fact I dont see any situation where you should do that. If a place requires that phones are turned off, you can just set it to Offline Mode, which makes it so that the phone cannot receive any signal.
EDIT: sorry made a mistake in wording. The CMOS battery does supply a little power to the phone while it's turned off. Just remembered that it does this for the clock. LOL. But then again, making an app to make use of this power to remember where it stopped may depend on how much power is being supplied in the first place.
Oh I made a mistake again. I thought you were referring to turning the phone off. Not just the music player.
Also, I'm not sure if you already know this, but for a playlist to remember where you last stopped, it does that. When you go into music player. go to Options>Now Playing. It will show the last song played.

N9 Music player - wrong song order

Hello,
I have issues with the music player. I always copy my music to N9 with Nokia Link, and all my mp3 files are tagged by me, including details like song title, album, artist, song number. I am very meticulous about it
The player, however does not start the album with song number 1. It tends mess up the song order of my albums.
Help, anybody had similar issues?

Try using Nokia Music Player, It recognises the N9 and works great with no problems and is alot easier when dealing with your music (editing info, playlists etc.), compared to Nokia Link

5800 v50 music player problems

i just updated my 5800 to v50 and had a few annoying problems with the music player... first when i opened the music player refreshing the library took eons and it seemed that it stuck at 10 files added... then i finally i decided to delete all the mp3s for the phone and add them using the ovi player but sometimes when i touch a song to play nothing happens and then i can't exit the player only by turning the phone off and when i do sometimes the phone gets stuck at a black screen and then i have to remove the battery and reinsert it to make the phone work again!! i don't know what other problems this version of firmware has but i regret updating!! before this i had v20 and was very happy with it

1. Complaining may or may not bring it back in next release. The usual modes is snail mail to your local Nokia Head Office or the Contact Us button at the top of the page.
2. Downgrade is not possible without a heavy risk of bricking the phone.

5800 Express Music - Music player will not open

Hi,
My 5800 music player will not open. I can open the radio and every other application in that folder except the music player. please help!!

Hi,
Are you able to play the songs from the File Manager in the handset? If yes, try Restore Factory Settings in the handset. Press Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone Management > Factory Settings. If you are not able to play the songs even from from the File Manager, then try Hard Resetting the handset. Power Off the handset. Hold the 2 calls (Red & Green) & the Camera key & proceed to power on the device, while holding the three keys (green, red and camera). Keep holding down the 3 keys until after the handshake screen.
Make sure you Back-Up the Phone Data before Hard Resetting the device.

Nokia 5800 Sound problems in music player

Having a weird problem with the music player. When you choose a song to play, there is no sound unless you press either volume button, then the sound works normally. I have tried this in all different profiles, with and without headphones and nothing seems to work. Any ideas how I can get the sound back in the music player?

I don't know the exact solution to the problem but you may try to do a reset option. Sometimes with my N82 the sound just stops but the music is going. So i pause and play it again.
Try this reset but-
Before perfoming this please take a backup of your data.
Factory defaults-
Type *#7780# on your standby screen.
This will reset all your setting to default factory settings. User data wont be affected.
Soft reset-
Type *#7370#
This will reset the phone as well delete user data. Use when want to format the phone.
If none of these worked then you might want to do a hard reset.
For this you have to-
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.( Just in case of N78 it will be the multimedia key the small silver key on right side & for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. For Nokia N97 is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE. )
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button to switch on the phone.
4. Release the buttons when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?
