6300 Music player poblem

I updated the Firmware a few days back (from v5.0 to v5.50)
Now, since yesterday whenever I try to open my music player, it updates the library every time & after that it says no music files found, whn there are music files stored on my microSD card in the m4a format(which were previously being played by the player), is any Nokia 6300 user having the same problem?? Basically the playr library takes a lot of time to update...& then it says there are no music files is it the firmware problm? I took it to th Nokia Care Center they say that they need to format the phone & reinstall phone firmware...? If anybody is having th same problem..pls contact me as soon as you read it...
If anyone knows how to format(Hard Format) the Symbian s40 phone i.e the Nokia 6300 please inform me as early as possible..?
Thank you all in advance

i had similar problems following the online firmware update (5.5).
it may be inconvenient, but if you can get a nokia pro to do a proper reinstall.
personally, i wont be using the online firmware update ever again unless as a last resort.

6300 music player stored tracks after deleted

My 6300 music player stores the deleted tracks so that the memory card shows it is almost full when infact i only have 12 songs in total on the card. When I open the music player and view track listing, all the tracks that i deleted from the memory card are still there and still play even though they are not!
Can someone tell me how to clear the 'memory' of the music player if possible
Thanks

Yeah, i do the update and then i check the library and the old 'deleted' songs are still in the library and can still be played but are not on my memory card. I deleted all the songs and the music folder says 'empty' yet when i check the memory status is says 43mb! I dont get it! Please help

Nokia 6300 Music Player Crash

Hi There,
I have a new 6300. I have a fully formatted 2GB card in it. I have used Nokia Music manager to transfer and convert the file to M4A files. I was filling the card up reather well and still have about 1Gb free.
I when I update the libaray it finds all the 500+ track on the card.
When I try to use the libaray to get an album to play, the phone locks up for a few minutes and then resets itself.
I am finding it nigh on impossible to use the music player.
The biggest selling point was that you could put lots of music on the card.

it went fyrther than that now, the library decided to corrupt itself. I wasn't showing the right artist name against the tracks.
Thanks for the reply.... it does the same even if it mp3 format.
This is the first nokia I have had problems with.. my 6230 and 6230i were both better.

Music player slowness after firmware update? (6300...

after experiencing problems with wonky playlists and a new 2gb micro sd card, the whole slowness of opening anything on the 6300 music player started to bug me. after reading some of this forum i assumed i'd 'upgraded' to a not-quite-so-hot-but-cheap memory card (2gb micro sd, sandisk). however, i just put the old 1gb card back in (kingston) and the slowness is still there!
so it occurred to me, i also updated the phone firmware (to 5.5) the same day i got the new card.... could this be the source of the slowness? is there a war to uninstall the update and go back to 4.7 (or whatever it was)?
thanks

The music playr of my phone had slowen down after the firmware update...& since yesterday when I start it, it updates library(which takes a heck of the time) & after that it says no music files found, when there are music files on the phone...

6300 - how to stop autostart of music player on Bl...

Hi,
Since a few weeks I'm using a Nokia 6300. A few days ago a bought a Jabra BT8040. Pairing with two different phones is a bless, but ... the 6300 has a nasty habbit of automatically starting the music player and playing music thru the earpiece. I have a similar problem with my Parrot MK6100, but this is an ad-hoc problem.
Back to the Jabra: The device has been paired and set to connect without confirmation. Everything is fine. Now I disconnect by turning off the earpiece or by walking out of range from my phone. As soon as the Jabra autoconnects again, the pairing confirmation is displayed, the message disappearsand the date and time starts showing up. So far so good, but now the songtitle that the music player starts is shown above the date and the music can be heared from the earpiece.
I've tried almost everything and read the complete manual and FAQ's to stop the autostart of the musicplayer, but I can't find the answer to my problem and any attempt so far has been futile.
Who's is smart enough to come up with the correct answer?
Thanks in advance!!!

To solve the problem using BT8040, you need to pair it in the special music pairing mode. It can be found the BT8040 manual, under troubleshooting and faq.
Below is the excerpt:
The music player starts playing when connecting to the
headset.Some phones may start the music player once it connects to the headset. Re-pair your headset to the device in order to avoid this behaviour.
1. Make sure the headset is off
2. Press and hold the answer / end button for approx 5 sec until the light turns solid blue
3. Continue press and hold the answer / end button until the solid blue light turns off
4. Continue press and hold until a solid purple light turns on
Go through the regular steps in paring the headset to a Bluetooth device.

6233 Music Player Upgrade (Xpress Music 6300)

I would love to have the pathetic music player in the 6233 (that comes from the old 6230) replaced with the newer one found on the 6300 (Xpress Music Player).
Please put that into a future firmware release for the 6233. I love my 6233 but it is so hard to convince SE and Ipod users that the 6233 is the ultimate due to the **bleep** music player (255 entry bug in playlist, UI, etc...)
Many thanks for adding A2DP in V4.91 - that was a step in the right direction.

Tell 'em here hout them your demands!

6300..cant play music files through music player.

I just got the 6300.
I transferred some music files onto my phone, but i cant seem to play them through "music player".
When i try to search for the songs.. through show "all tracks", they dont appear.
But if i go to my memory card, and play the songs out of there, then it plays, not sure which program it uses to play.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks
ameet

You need to update the library. In music player:
options .. music library .. options .. update music library
This scans phone and card memory for new tracks. When you see how long this takes, you'll understand why it isn't done automatically each time you start the music player

Nokia music player handset 6300

I recently bought a nokia 6300 handset.The music playe is not up to the mark.By searching in the internet for 3 days i finally found a java music player way better than nokia s.its called KD player and here is the link
http://www.easter-eggs.net.ru/KDPlayer/EN_Versions.htm
This player has every thing but except one.it will not run in stand by mode.since its a series 40 platform only nokia player can do that.If the features of KD player are incorporated in nokia music player it would be really wonderful.
why KD player???
it has shorcut keys like 5-play/pause
7-shuffle
9-repeat
123...go to the playlist...2>>scroll up 3>>>scroll down
4>> previous song and skip backward if the button is held for 3 sec
6>>next song and skip backward if the button is held for 3 sec
and it also has cool feature of creating playlist...
i just hope these will be incorporated in nokia music player...

Is it a NEW problem? Have you tried contacting the Nokia Music 'SUPPORT' ? BTW there are many threads ( some very old ones) on this Forum on this subject. Varius suggestions are provided there in.. You may search for 'Music download process failed to start' on the main page of the discussion board...

Can I listen to the music player wih a blue tooth ...

I assumed I would be able to , I want to listen to a' talking newspaper' on my phone (Nokia 6300) but an assistant in P4U said that you could only hear calls through them and nothing else - I dont need stereo .
Thankyou

I did,nt actually buy any in the end as the assistant said you could only use them for ' calls' not listening to the Music player. I will buy which ever ones will work or are recommended. I was surprised by his advice/answer - I know little about phones, I did'nt press it too much . I would prefer some descreet ones , just single ear piece ideally.
Thankyou for your reply .

Still no xpress music player in 6233 ?

Why is it so hard for Nokia to get the xpress music player features in the weaker 6300 on to the 6233 ? I have asked long time ago for that and.....wait for it... nothing.

you are not the only one that has been asking and waiting for it. with every firmware update i look forward to the upgrade of the default music player but we all know that haven't happened yet. but there is always hope, maybe in the next update nokia will grant our wishes.
i like the music player interface in n-series namely n73 music edition, n75, n76 and n95. they are beautiful.
everything happens for a reason

Symbian Belle Music Player

hello people,
this is my first post here, so i start with a quick introduction:
i´ve been using a lot of different nokia-phones over the last 10 years, but had never used the phones as a music-player.
Until i bought a 5230 last year. This phone was used a music player. the s60v5-music player software was good, everything fine (well... "gapless playback" is still something i missed, but i come back to this later).
now i would like to upgrade to a faster device like the nokia 701, but...
i had sorting/tagging issues with the music player in symbian anna, when trying out the nokia c7, so i gave the phone back.
and now my questions:
1. does the music-player in symbian belle allow the old sorting used in s60v5? or at least any correct sorting of albums even if they are compilations?
2. does the music-player in symbian belle alllow the creation of your own equalizer presets?
3. i nearly dont dare to ask... could it be that nokia managed it, to get the player play the songs of an album gapless?
some remarks:
to 1: if not, the solution would be to retag all my music??
to 2: why did they remove the option? is there a plan to get it back, maybe with a belle-update?
to 3: does really nobody at nokia listen to albums that need continuous play? live albums, classical music, electronic music, dj-mixes?
thank you for reading, and for possible answers!
have a nice day
p

Running my new N8 on Belle. (haven't treid it on Anna by the way ... )
1 conclussion : Very Disapointed (with capital V & A). what a piece of **bleep** it is !!
I really don't know where to put my disagree with this sh*t. It seems like there are several topics about it.
I've had a couple of Nokia's in the last years, but this is really... ( I don't have any words for it) after the upgrade to Belle.
You CAN'T properlily play a music album which is on a memory-card or on the phone itself !!!!
I can only play songs from an alphabatical list with singers. Not from an album !!! Making a playlist from a list of albums is also not possible ... Made changes on the laptop with putting albumnames, changing artistnames, made m3u of playlists. Nothing works !!!
Why have they made it like this ??
I had a N86 8MP : perfect. You can choose what you want to play ; album or song. You could change the picture of the album. It had a little equalizer. Even my older 6500C had it !!! And therefore my 6300 had it !!!!!
Why made a change of something that was good ???
I really hope that the upgrade to Belle 112 (which is STILL NOT available for N8, but only for 700) whill resolve this kind of problems .... but I got a glitch that it won't ....
Bought an expensive N8 cause of the 16Gb inside and addional 32GB & 12MP camera, but iI can't used it like any other MP3-device ...... I really think it wil be my last Nokia ....
And this is not the last issue with Belle ... Navigation is navigation. In the N86 you got some extra's with compass & searching sattelites & tripmeter... Non in the N8 ...
Looking pictures like dia from map to map is still not possible ... Only the complete list ...
Sorry Nokia, but you missed it completly with this "High End" phone....

6300 Music Library Contains Ringtones - and I can'...

Hi,
I recently updated the firmware on my 6300 to V7.21 as per the instructions - and I now find the music library in Music Player contains ringtones (in .AAC format) - and I can't see how to delete them from the main library.
Is this a quirk of V7.21 - or have I done something stupid ?

How do I use my original iphone as a music player?

I've upgraded my iphones through the years, but I always kept my first one. It's an 8GB original iphone, and I'd like to give it to my 12 year old to use as a music player with itunes. I tried connecting it to my current itunes (11.0.3.42), and it doesn't even recognize a device is connected. It just displays the icon of a USB connector and an arrow pointing to an itunes icon.
Do I need to install an old version itunes to make it work? Where do I find links to old itunes downloads?
Is there anything else I need to do to make it work?
Has anyone else done this recently? Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what you've tried already, but have you considered reset, restore or both? I had recently done this to my iPhone-1st Gen for a different reason. After the restore, make sure to give the iPhone-1 a separate name from your main mobile device.
The new name is only so you can recognize the different sync settings and playlists on the older device. iTunes software can tell the difference wheter you rename or not. Just make sure that you always use the correct backup when you sync, reset or restore.
How to Reset
Two Button Reset.
This is the least likely to result in loss of data. Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
Disconnect the iDevice from the computer.
Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes. My guess is that the reset did not work.
How to Restore
DFU Restore
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Connect the iDevice to the computer.
Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)" Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions. If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

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...

http://www42.zippyshare.com/v/37047710/file.html
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.
