Comes With Music membership extension

I have been a satisfied (most of the time) subscriber to Comes With Music membership (UK) since 26 Ocbober 1969. On 26 September 2010 I got an e-mail from "The Comes With Music team" ([email protected]) which I have pasted below.

Hi tonyarro,
Your Comes With Music membership is about to end on 26/10/2010. To continue getting millions of free tracks from Nokia Music Store, you just need to renew your membership by buying a new Comes With Music edition mobile. There's no need to wait - when you renew, your new membership period is added onto the time you've got left on your current membership. Click here to renew now.
What's more, there are exclusive offers on new Comes With Music edition mobiles, just for members. Take a look at all the latest deals here.
Remember, even if you don't renew, you keep all the music you've downloaded so far and can continue playing it on your registered Comes With Music mobile and PC. But after 26/10/2010 you'll have to pay for any new music you download. So don't miss out on all the new releases or classics from the massive Nokia Music Store catalogue - renew today!
All the best,
The Comes With Music team

So I "needed" to buy a new mobile. The "exclusive offers" were two choices, a 5800 at UK Pounds 249 or a N97 mini at UK Pounds 409. I already use a 5800 and the N97 costs more than I care to pay for a 'phone.
By accident, I discovered that T-mobile UK are currently selling a PAYG 5230 Navi CWM at UK Pounds 99.99. Quite a bargain, so I bought one.
Now I am going round in circles on the Nokia/Ovi websites and in Nokia Ovi Player on my PC trying to enter the activation pin. All the instructions no longer work with the current Player. The only working option is to create a new account and allow my present account to expire. I am reluctant to do this because it seems likely that I will also have to buy a new PC if I want to keep and play the music files that I have already downloaded (only 61.2GB).
In the process of going round in circles I discovered a hidden option in the Nokia Ovi Player menu - Account/Music Account/Extend. I could have bought a 12 month extension to my existing membership for only £34.99! I didn't "need" to buy a new mobile at all! No wonder the "Comes with Music team" don't have a return e-mail address if they just exist to drive sales by telling lies!
Anyway, I already have the new mobile and the CWM activation PIN. I realise that many forum members have more desparate problems than mine, but can someone on the staff please advise me how to extend my existing membership account using the PIN and new 'phone that I have already paid for?
Tony.

Sorry, I got it slightly wrong, it's £33.99, not £34.99. The whereabouts are in my previous posting. To repeat, within Nokia Ovi Player, on the top line click on account, then music account, then on the Extend green button and the message below appears. This might only appear when your subscription is due to expire within one month or has expired less than one month ago. This is obviously from the UK music store, (GB pounds) I don't know whether it is available in other Nokia territories. I haven't tried it - I found it too late. I now have a 'phone that I didn't really want and no access to transfer my existing music collection back and forward to my old 'phone or my new 'phone. This is by following the advice of the 'Nokia music team'. New 'phone = new account = new computer.

  • Comes With Music no Play Rights

    I've just bought a 5310 pay as you go Comes with Music package, everything installed without a problem and I can download whole albums - however I can't play anything on my registered pc and I can't transfer to the 5310.
    The properties on the the downloaded music files show no play rights and I get an Unexpected error CD002781 whenever I try to play anything. The Music application says the PC is registered. Has anyone else had this problem?

  • Comes With Music - Doesn't Work

    Can anyone tell me how I can actually use the service I have paid for? Every time I try to join up, the Nokia Music Store application crashes. If I try and sign in to the Nokia Music Store with the phone connected, it crashes. The PC suite works fine by the way and the Music Store works fine without the phone connected as I paid for a track to make sure it worked.
    I have a 5310 and Windows Vista with the latest version of the Music Store software and have followed the instructions to the letter over and over.
    Apparantly I can sign up from my device only there is no Music Store application on my phone. I have been through the help and support over and over again and have been through every menu and option on the phone but what I have on my phone is not what the support pages show.
    And yes, the phone was bought specifically as part of a Comes With Music package. So all-in-all I am not impressed and unless I can get a solution within the next 2 days the phone will be going back for a full refund as I have not received the product, or the service, that I have paid for.

  • Comes With Music - "Unable to acquire license" err...

    I have a N97 with Comes With Music. Since the past week, I have been unable to download tracks from the Music Store. I log in to my CWM account as usual, but everytime i click on the download button after selecting a track, it just gives me the error message "Unable to acquire license". 
    Anyone else experience this problem? How do I fix this?

    Provided that your new device is a Comes With Music-compatible device, you can have your account transferred to the new device, you need to contact your local Nokia Care helpline and ask for the registered device to be changed. You will need to provide your music store username, the old IMEI number and the new IMEI number.

  • Comes With Music and (Finnish) Music Store

    I have a Nokia N97 mini Comes With Music. There was an upgrade in Finnish Music Store in yesterday (09.09.2010). After that, I can not choose free downloads anymore. Somehow the "Comes With Music" button has disappeared, and every mp3 has a price. I tried to re-join to Ovi Music Unlimited but the client replies that I already have the Comes With Music rights. Any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have had this exact same problem since mid-August some time. Been in contact with the Swedish Nokia Care people and they basically escalated it to some technicians in India. Still waiting for some form of response from them.
    Also, can you transfer songs from OVI Music (the software I mean) to your phone? Because I can't do that either (I'm guessing because it requires that I access my account and get the DRM license - but like you pointed out, every mp3 has a price and there are no re-downloads available in my account anymore).
    This is extremely frustrating. Sometime in June or July was the last time I could transfer songs from my computer to the phone (well, stuff I've ripped from my own CDs work fine of course, as well as songs that I've had on my phone prior to the CMW-MU switch).

  • Keeping and using the comes with music license onc...

    if i buy a comes with music phone, but the online service isn't yet available to my country, can i keep the license and use it once the service is available to my country?

    Hi,
    Most of the time, the reason behind this issue is that a user has 2 services subscribed into, a Comes With Music service and a Nokia Music Store Service. If you sign up and you are being charged, that indicates that you are on the Nokia Music Store.
    The best way to make sure that you are logging in to the correct service, make sure to click on the Comes With Music button and then click sign in. If it so happens that after doing so, you are still being charged, it could be that the username and password for your Comes With Music account is different. 
    You can ask Nokia Careline to assist you in retreiving these information. You would then receive it thru email with the correct username and the temporary password. The information you need to provide the representative for them to be able to pull up your account detail are:
    *IMEI
    *E-mail address
    *Mobile Number
    Hope this helps.

  • N97 mini & comes with music

    Got N97 mini on vodafone and want to get the free comes with music.  How do I do this?  How do i get a pin and register.  Can locate seeing anything in the box about this.  Tried Customer Support but did not answer.

    Installed Ovi Suite on my PC, registered to Comes With Music with it, now it works even on my phone. Stupid, but works.

  • Comes With Music question

    If I get a comes with music handset and save the tracks to my memory card, if I put that card in a different handset, will I be able to play the music?
    Thanks

    Your "Comes with Music" account and the tracks will be tied to the phone's IMEI number, tracks won't play on other mobile devices. I don't know if you get permission to use the tracks on any other devices (such as a PC) or not, though I would imagine not as they are provided free to the phone.
    You won't even be able to transfer your music to another phone unless you buy another "Comes with Music" phone or if your phone is replaced under warranty.

  • Question about Comes With Music in the UK

    Ever since I heard about the service, I was quite interested in getting a Comes With Music device on contract, but looking for one is like finding a needle in a haystack.
    Ideally, I would like to stay with O2, but they don't seem to offer contracts with Comes With Music, from what I can tell. I called their sales team four times to try and find out and pretty much got a different answer every time, although the one person who did seem to know what he was talking about gave a definitive "no".
    Other than that, I'm finding it impossible to find deals. I know Orange do the 32GB X6, because a friend of mine has this contract (not that I've found anything about it online), and the Nokia site itself offers the 5800 CWM with T-Mobile. Like I said though, I'd rather stick with O2 if possible, because I've always had excellent signal from them.
    So basically, does anyone have any information that may help me? I'm starting to think the reason CWM isn't doing well over here is because nobody really knows about it and because if you do find out about it, it's virtually impossible to find a contract.

    Your only option for getting a CwM phone on O2 is to see what places like carphone warehouse and phones 4u have to offer.
    O2 have refused to sell CwM phones directly in the past.
    Instead of paying more for a CwM phone you may want to consider spotify premium instead. It's £10 per month and it allows you to either stream music or download for use on the phone.
    The X6 32gb CwM has become quite hard to find since the cheaper 16gb model (without CwM) appeared. Originally it was exclusive to phones 4u but didn't sell well due to it's overly high price.

  • 5800 Comes With Music - library not refreshing!!

    Hi everyone, I recently got a 5800 Comes With Music phone and registered the phone within the Music Store.  I don't have a PC I can use so I wanted to use the phone to download music.  I managed to download a couple of tracks and they were stored in my music library when I chose the 'Refresh Library' option.  However, the next batch of songs I downloaded show as complete in the 'My Downloads' section but when I go into my music library and try to refresh it, it just says '0 Files Added'.  Why is this?  I'm not doing anything different to what I did the first time, yet whatever I try, I can't add the latest downloads to the library.  It's driving me mad!!  Has anyone had the same problem?  Am I missing a step - I'm literally selecting download, waiting for it to complete then going to the library and choosing refresh.
    Thanks!

    Hey man, yh i'm afraid i'm having the same sort of problem as you.
    I've bought and downloaded new songs off of the internet and have tried to put them onto my phone with little success.
    Originally I got all but 1 song off the album into my library, through bluetooth, but when i came to play them later in the day (even though they were working earlier) they couldn't find the files and therefore were useless.
    I tried, when I got home, to put them on later through the applications you download through your PC (like Nokia Suite and Nokia Music) and seemed to get them on fine but when I looked for them in my library they weren't there.
    It seems like they are happy for you to put it on to your phone so that you can find the file in File Manager but won't let you put it in your library.
    Sorry I couldn't give you any help but I thought it would be a good idea to put my problem up on here as well.
    Good Luck mate

  • Nokia 5310 Comes With Music problem

    I've had my Nokia 5310 and Comes with Music since December and have yet to figure out how to transfer the music I've gotten from Comes with Music.
    I've spent aeons on the phone to Nokia customer services and we have figured out so much as it's not the memory card, the phone, the registration with comes with music, or my computer.
    I've managed to go through Windows Media Player and transfer OLD music to my phone which plays as normal. When I transfer a comes with music song, it says there is an error. Then I check my phone and the song is on there... But when I press it to play it says, "recieving activation key" and "subscribe to packet data first". I took a stab at what this means and got personal configuration settings for MMS and Sych and Streaming but they dont seem to work, because I still can't send picture messages. Go figure.
    Can anyone help? I payed for this and it's not working, no one seems to know whats wrong.
    Ana

    If you can't sent pictures thru mms, then its not properly configured for your phone. I would advice you to give your provider a call & have the configuration for packet services sent to you, or give you instruction on how to do it with your phone. Ask also what services are being offered to you.
    Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!

  • Can't register pc for comes with music.

    I've got a comes with music subscription that started in August.
    I recently upgraded my pc to Windows 7 and have come to register this pc with Nokia, but I keep getting error pages (no specific message given, just an error).  Do I have to wait 90 days from opening my account (which is 3+ weeks away) or is the service just down?
    Disappointing and it goes to show why there hasn't been mass adoption of this DRM-ridden product.

    Hi,
    you can also try to recover your content from the Music Vault My Account > Music Vault. If the 'Change registered device' option is greyed out, this means that you have changed either your PC or mobile within the specified 90 days. If the application has been installed but the application updates have not been accepted, download the latest version to be sure that it is compatible with Comes With Music.
    hope this answers your question..

  • Nokia N95 'comes with music'

    Hi
    I've recently bought an 8gb N95 on a contract with Orange, from phones 4 u.
    I downloaded the Nokia comes with music application on my PC, and attempted to register my mobile.
    It asked me to enter the pin number that came with my phone, in the 'comes with music leaflet'.
    I do not have a 'comes with music' leaflet.
    Does this mean I cannot get access to free songs?
    It was the main reason I bought the phone!
    Thanks a lot

    Solved!

    You presumed wrong. If you wanted the "comes with music" version you needed to ask for it as not all retailers sell it.  The nokia website shows both versions of the N95 8GB.
    The N95 8GB has been available for over a year now but the "comes with music" package has only been available for a month or two.  Most retailers don't sell the "comes with music" version due to it being an older model and more expensive than the standard version.
    They won't be able to give you the pass code as the "comes with music" version is more expensive (approx £50) to cover the music licenses.
    I believe the only network that is doing the "come with music" version on contract is 3.

  • Comes With Music - Having a Problem

    Hi, I recently bought a Comes With music phone and managed to set it up fine and add music to the phone.
    Yesterday i placed my memory card into another persons phone which was the same model (nokia 5310) and when i placed it back into my phone i could not get the music to play again (something about a reactivation key).
    I then took all the music off my phone and tried again to put music on it and then was a transferring error each time i tried.
    I then put it the person with the same model of phone as me and tried and it was sending music to that.
    Now this morning i have tried with both phones and neither of then will work.
    Any help for this problem would be appreciated .

    Hi try to format the memory card in your 5310 (In 5310, Menu > Gallery > memory card. Select Options > Format memory card)
    Then try to sync your music again from your PC with Nokia Music (make sure date and time on your PC and phone is correct first)
    You cannot use the memory card in any other phone that your Comes With Music phone as the music is tied to your phone and PC

  • Comes with Music - Expired 3 days into 365 days

    We received a X6 32 with 1 year free Comes with Music
    On going back into the Music store it asked me to register the PIN again, only to be told that although I have 362 days left, the PIN is not longer valid
    I fear this could have come about from us putting another SIM card in the phone.
    Could this be the reason, and what is the solution?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I registered when it had the other sim in.
    Problem was the sim (new sim) with new phone took so long to be activated, (took 5 days !!) that I tried my sim from my Blackberry (the X6 is my wifes) to see if the actualy phone worked. During that time while I had my sim in her phone, I tested "Comes with Music" and downloaded a few songs (successfully)
    When her sim eventually came active, we tried downloading songs again, and was then asked to register again. And then encountered the problem.
