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.

Hide ringtones from the Music Player [S60]

Tired of having your ringtones listed and played together with your music? Here's how you can hide the tones from the Music Player. This is applicable for Symbian phones only (N82, N95, etc.).
WARNING: The advise below involves changing folder attributes and using tools that might easily harm the file system of your phone! If unsure that you can handle the steps, better leave the ringtones be.
Note: Following the advise below will also hide the folder/files from the build-in File Manager.
To prevent a file or folder with ringtones from being listed in the MP3 player:
1. Get yourself a file manager that allows you to change file/folder attributes. Y-Browser will do the job - http://www.drjukka.com
2. Create a separate folder and place in it all the ringtones and melodies you want to hide from the player. I recommend using the memory card - this will help you repair the file system in case something goes wrong.
3. Open the file manager from Step 1 (not the build-in File Manager) and navigate to the folder from Step 2.
4. Change the attributes of the folder to 'System'. For Y-Browser highlight the folder and choose Options -> Attributes then set 'System' to 'Yes' and press Save.
5. Exit the file manager and refresh the library of the Music Player. Now the folder/files are not shown in the Music Player/File Manager but are still listed on music file selection dialogs (like 'Ringing tone' option in Contacts).
You can also hide single files by setting their attributes to 'System'. I do not recommend this, though.
Please, have in mind that reverting the folder to non-system might not be possible (N82 + Y-Browser 0.88, for example). If this happens you need to move the files to another folder and then delete and recreate the folder. If you have set up the folder/files on the memory card, use a card reader or 'Mass storage' mode to connect to the computer and reset the attributes from there.

No music files to play in Music Player - 6230i

I have put about 5.7mb of music onto my phone but when I go to play them in the music player it says no music files found! STOP but the music is there if you go to the gallery and play it through that but how do I actually get the music to play in the music player???
If anyone can help me thankyou in advance!

Where (in which folder/directory) did you put the music?
I don't have a 6230i, but try first in the root (topmost) folder of the memory card. If that doesn't work, try existing subfolders.

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!!

No play in music player

I have a 6230 and have just updated to the latest suite. When I transfer files to the phone, they are on my memory card, but seem to have go through several folders e.g. Band name, album name and finally track name. I'm not able to find these files in music player, even when I refresh the tracklist.
Can anyone help?

Hello!
Try to put it in the root.

I want to make a ringtone from my music player?

I've just bought a Nokia 5310 xpress music and have downloaded all my favourites on to it from Windows Media Player. I want to make one of my tunes in the music player into a ringtone.A guy in the shop showed me how to do it and now i've forgotten.Anyone help please? thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Going to Menu>Settings>Tones>Ringing tone should find compatible music files wherever they are on the phone. However, many protected tracks are prevented by Digitial Rights Management from being used as tones.

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.

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.
Meg

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!

Stopping iTunes being default music player

I have several players, such as RealPlayer, QuickTime and VLC, capable of playing mp3, AAIF and other types of music files already on my computer. Whenever I double-click one of these files, it is always iTunes that opens and starts playing the file. How can I prevent iTunes being the default player?

Select a document, choose Get Info from the File menu, specify the correct application under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm this action.

N95 Has Stupid Music Player

Hi Everyone,
I have an N95 8GB with the latest firmware version (V20.x.x). My problem is that when I play the music player, it will randomly cause the phone to freeze and reboot after maybe half an hour or so. I tried resetting the phone, and reinstalling software with NSU but the problem still persists.
Has anyone got any ideas? I'm reluctant to send it away for repair because I know they'll just re-flash the phone and send it back to me and the problem still won't be fixed.
This is not acceptable NOKIA for a ~€600 phone!!!
Anyone able to offer any help or able to confirm that they share the problem?
Thanks,
Keith

If you've done a *#7370# reset and formatted E and you still can't see your music, the phone needs to go to a Nokia care point, there is nothing else you can do

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?
