Deleted files showing up in music player..

I bought a Nokia 5610 a couple of days before..love the phone.. but i have no idea how to refresh the music player.. deleted files keep showing up to the music player.. and also can i set a particular folder to search for new songs instead of th whole phone?..

File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to the music folder. It will scan the folder and all subfolders, and anything that is not already in the library will be added.

Deleting 'ghost' tracks in Nokia Music Player soft...

Having just purchased an N8 to replace my ageing 5800, I am going to give Nokia Music Player another try (reluctantly....).
My issue is that I have tidied up my music folder on my PC, but NMP still shows tracks and albums that are no longer there.
I.e, I can see albums and tracks that are definitely not on my PC. These 'ghost' tracks show with a '!' in a triangle. And the 'properties' confirms that the track is not there.
Another example is where I have had the same album in various different folders. So I can see each track listed multiple times, all but the genuine one have the '!' showing.
Do how can I 'refresh' the NMP to remove these ghosts?
I could try deleting NMP from my PC and downloading-installing a fresh copy. But then I'd probably lose all of my playlists....?

yep nokia music player is not that great for putting your tracks into disc order. it put its in number or order.

Deleted files show as ghost or empty files

I've been clearing out a ton of old files from my MBP and an external Maxtor HD. For some I've used Spring Cleaning and for others I've used Find and deleted from the results.
My problem now is that I search and find literally thousands of titles of deleted files. The icons show as a square formed by dotted lines. If I ask for Info, the pane shows Read Only but appears to contain no data. If I ask to open the enclosing folder, nothing happens.
Would appreciate any help I can get -- very difficult to search among all these titles even though they don't seem to be affecting performance in any other way. ;-}

I have seen those "ghost" files a time or two. I don't remember the circumstances, but my guess is there is a file system inconsistency. Try booting from your install disk, then dismiss the install window and go to the menu bar, select Disk Utility and then repair your startup disk. If it finds errors, run it again until it comes up with a completely error free run. You can run Disk Utility from the startup drive on the external disk, but to fix the startup drive itself you need to boot from the install disk. If there are errors it can't repair you may have to invest in a copy of DiskWarrior. After the disks' file systems have been repaired you might try having Spotlight re-index the drives: add the drive to the Privacy pane (System Prefs->Spotlight), wait a bit, then remove it.

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.

Can not mark files onnokia x2-02 music player

In nokia x2-02 music player we can't mark files to add a playlist. We are forced to add files one by one and takes a lot of time and effort.Please give proper guideline. Can stereo widening works on it ?

Copy all files from phone to memory card. Switch off the phone & leave out battery & the memory card for atleast 10 min. Then switch on without card. As soon as possible open the music player. It'll update the library. It should remove all the files. If there are still files in music player which are not in the phone then its a software problem & wont b rectified until there is a new software available. Or u've to visit Nokia Care for it.
But if there are no additional files, then switch off the phone again. Remove battery for 10 min. Then insert ur memory card & switch it on. Again open music player as quickly as possible. It'll update the files.
Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

Video files show up as music files?!?!

My 5th Gen 30GB ipod Video has around 30 video files in it. When I plugged it into computer today (with iTunes installed) to charge it, after a few hours when I unplugged it, all the video files were gone! I found them all under the music section of my ipod. When I play them, only the very first pixel/clip shows up in a small icon( where the album usually is for music) and plays the audio only. This isnt the first time it has happend either, last time I had to delete all the vid files and reupload them onto my iPod. This time they are still in there, anyone have any idea on how to fix this? This is extremely frustrating! Thanks for your help in advance!

I have this same problem. But, the videos are not on my computer. My boyfriend put them on from his laptop, but lent it to his friend. The friend will have his laptop until this weekend, and I really do not want to wait that long. If anyone has a quick solution, I would really appreciate it.

Cannot delete files from the itunes music folder

I am running mac 10.6.7 and itunes 10.4. When i delete music or podcast from the library in itunes, I get a warning whether i would like to keep or move the file to trash. I respond i want to move the file to trash, however this does not happen, no file is going to trash. I have tried updating the software, operating system, repairing disk permissions, none of these work, any help would be appreciated

I am running mac 10.6.7
I have tried updating the software, operating system,
Then you should have Mac OS X 10.6.8

Why do some video files show up under music, & some under movies?

I ordered a CD off of iTunes that included bonus material, 4 of which were videos. 3 were music videos, 1 an interview with the artist. The 3 music videos show up at the end of the album in the music part of iTunes, the interview video shows up seperately under movies. Is there any way to manipulate this, so all the videos can be in one place, be it under movies, or music?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me out here.

Right click the file and then click get info, go to the options tab, there should be a box which says media type: change this to the option you want.

Volume problem with Music Player on N95

Hi all,
I am puzzled with a problem I'm having with my N95. The problem appeared after I performed an upgrade on the phone.
The thing is that the right side Volume keys do not work when using the Music player. I know the keys work since the zoom is working on the camera (the same keys). But what is really weird is that if I use the File Manager and open a music file, hence opening the Music player then the Volume keys work fine.
The problem is when I access the Music player either by the Media button on the handset or via the Menu > Music > Music Player.
This is driving me nuts I have tried to update the firmware with the same load without success, I just updated the firmware to the latest version V 30.0.018 hoping that it would be fixed but it didn't
Anyone have the same problem??
Thanks,

Hi pavelosk,
I solved the problems on mine. It wasn't easy and is not a straightforward solution. After several attempts everything is ok now. I had to restore the phone to original settings. But also you need to remove all media in the phone. Somehow when the files or links to files are corrupted (often by downloading music via PC suite) this in turns gets the phone in this weird status. It is best to download music files to the phone via a data transfer.
Anyways you need to make sure all music files are deleted and that from within the music player library you cannot see any music file. It must state 0 Music files.
Once you have got rid of this, then I had to load the firmware several times until it worked. I am not sure but it happened to me that there was a new firmware available, but it didn't fix it on it's own. I had to remove the files and re-flash it like 4 times before the issue dissappeared. I know it isn't a step by step guide. But no one else knows what the problem is exactly. I am happy I managed to fix mine (after more than 4 month of trying!!!)
Good luck.

Music player keeps crashing

Hi I am wondering if any one can help I have a c3o3 phone which I gave to my son ,my contacts was I the account so Itried to delete the old pc suita off my computer and put the new suite ,i think it's the 7.1,but every time it gets to the music player it crashs .i went in to programes and thought I had deleted every file but one keeps reinstalling its self.I have went into C drive ,program files ,into Nokia ,into music player,It's the Cwmbran,individual file that keeps reinstalling itself. Can anyone help. Terence

Hi Terence1546,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions.
Please update or reinstall the current software with Nokia Suite. Doing so will reinstall the music application and the rest of the phone's software that potentially causes the software to crash.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and make a back up of your data via Tools > Back Up. Make sure you don't tick the Settings box. Now click on the green arrow icon where an available update will be displayed. If no update is listed you can reinstall the current software, this option is displayed in blue.
Once the software has been updated or reinstalled, restore the back up via Tools > Restore and your phone should work like it should again.
Let me know how you get on!

N95 how to limit what directory the Music Player s...

Hi. I installed some sofware in E drive (memory card) with some sound files (an IM program). The Music Player managed to find them and added them to the library. But those files are really nudge sounds and not musics.
So I really prefer it not searching directories other than the one I set to search. I would like to set it to only search "Music" folder if I could.
Could you help me out? Thanks.

If you hook up via USB you can change the file attribute to "Hidden", they then don't show in Music Player. Refresh Music Player after changing them.
I haven't done it for a while so those instructions are a bit vague, if you search this site or some of the others you'll find more detail.
I had to do it after I installed "Step Counter" -- it's sounds showed up on Music player.

How to get Music Player to play AAC files and show...

I feel the need, the need to share my recent experiences with you! Firstly to restate the already known facts: The Nokia Audio Manager in PC Suite is incapable of reading any tags as far as I have seen, from a tag (AAC/MP3) or from a CD itself and it crashes on my pc after sending 2 albums to my phone or on initialising once the phone has 2 albums already on it - so I've binned that. iTunes creates .m4a files which are AAC files but in mp4 containers with mp4 tags. The N70 will play AAC files and read ID3 tags up to v2.3 Here's how to get musak on your N70 with tags and artwork. 1. get yourself copies of dbpoweramp 11.5, their AAC codec (the Release 5 one) and The Godfather and install them 2. Go into the dbpoweramp config, select the ID tag tab and change the tag to ID3V2 for AAC. check the version field is set to v2.3 3. Use Poweramp's CD Input to rip a CD (you can specify under options to use AAC (Advanced Audio Coding (CLI)), you can custom the folder/filenames and set the bitrate (I use 100 BVR which creates files about the same size as MP3) 3.5. Rename any file that has an apostrohpe in the filename - removing the apostrophe - as the Music player will not read the tag 4. Go onto Amazon.com, find your CD and save the artwork image to your PC (create a folder for artwork) 5. Run The Godfather, select the folder containing the ripped album, click on the 'TAG' button, tick the picture box and click the button to it's right and browse for the .jpg file you just downloaded. then click on Update which will bring up the edit dialog, check that the picture is visible at bottom right and is ticked and then click 'Update All', then 'Sync' and then 'Exit'. Finally, click on the 'Apply' button 6. Transfer the folder to your My Music folder on the MMC 7. Run the Music Player and select Options-Update Collection 8. Now go into Albums and you should see your album title. Click on it and you should see all tracks. Click on a track and you should see, in the playing window, the artist & track and the artwork too. It has taken me weeks to get this far but for me, it is worth it. I hope this system works for you too Regards, Brian.

It sounds like a dud program. I would remove it (highlight its icon, then Options -> Remove). If you don't see a remove option, look for the program in the Application Manager.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.
