E71 Music Library / Player

I have over 7 gig of music/podcasts on my 8 gig card. The music library, despite updateing for 2-3 days can't find all the music, and since I reset the database, no podcasts are showing.
How do I start again?
What databases should I delete?
Is the library capable of handling this amount of data?
Alternatively - are there alternatives that working with a decent library rather than making you wait for a card scan every time?
Many thanks.

Itunes music library player logs out after 5 minutes

Running iTunes 11.1.1
When playing music from my music library, the application closes after 5 minutes if the computer is not touched, i.e. volume changed, tune skipped, etc. It's like it "logs off". I don't have any sleep settings turned on. This happens with battery or with power plugged in. Any suggestions as to what might be causing?

I've had the same issue since upgrading to latest iOS 5.1 on appletv and latest patches on mountain lion mine usually drops out after a minute

Music player capable of a large music library

I've been using arch for about a year now, and really like it! But I still miss one thing, a good Gnome music library/player.
I have a rather large (+-50K songs) which I used to mange and play with foobar on windows. Foobar was perfect, good library, fast, extremely configurable, and very conservative on memory. Especially the memory, what is foobar doing right that all these linux players are doing wrong??
The only thing kind of working for me is mpd+gmpc. This works ok, updates the library fast, but this is a very limited program when it comes to:
- frontend options
- dragging multiple files in playlist
- tag support (genre//musicbrainz id's/sort name)
- etc
I've tried:
- Amarok, which didn't even load my library when I told it to, and uses a bunch of kde libs
- Exaile, takes up 400 mb of memory, starts/responds very slow
- Quod Libet, promising, but also very slow
- Listen, Banshee and others are too buggy and slow
- Foobar on wine, gives a lot of interface errors due to the windows api in wine not being complete
So are there any options I'm currently missing?

I was searching for an alternative a very long time after I switched to linux and just didn't find anything. Mpd and Sonata comes close, but yeah...
I used to think the same way... but I got over foobar completely and I don't miss it anymore. The key was to stop looking for a foobar replacement and to rethink how I manage my music library so that it matches the linux way of doing things instead (one app per function). I prefer my current solution -- the main advantage is that I'm completely independent from any particular piece of software -- I could migrate my library to another player in a matter of minutes, for example, which is great.
Same with me. I use mpd with ncmpc along with some small scripts to automate things and other tools if I want to do something besides simply play music- Foobar2k is great and I used it years ago on Windows, but I now prefer having different tools for different jobs. Foobar2k is a rarity in software due to the fact it does everything and does most things a lot better than other function-specific tools. I do not foresee anyone cloning foobar2k in any OS and being successful. 9 times out of 10 such software is a bloated piece of crap, foobar2k just got lucky I agree, you have to rethink how you deal with your music collection if you aren't using foobar2k. I currently have 66,000 songs in mpd and I would never go back to a "regular" client for playing music, not even if foobar2k ran natively under Linux. I am gay for the server/client model now

Perhaps this is the wrong place?
Any assistance is appreciated.

When i "Refresh Music Library" the music player is...

Hello.
I tried to transfer some music with the Nokia Music Manager to the phone, and from some reason the transferring is stopped, and i have got a failure message. After i tried to refreshing the music library on my phone and when i do this, the music player is switching off everytime. I can not delete now, the bad musics from the phone, and i cant open a "Now playing" folder and i have got a little symbol above the music title. This is a playlist symbol with a key.
Can You help me in this question?

Hello, thanks for Your reply. I have checked zhe space on my card. just 100 Mb used from 512 Mb. When i delete the music files, it can not open any tracklist either. If i loading back the original files,(which were in the damaged track list) in this case it is opening the old tracklist and playing this files. Not any other. If i give any more music to this tracklist, it doesnt matter, it is playing just the original 51 piece mp3, which are in the damaged list. If any file missing from this list, it is just jumping to the neyt track.
Im an IT programmer and i never ever have seen the same symptomes.:?!
Thanks anyway.

I am using tehe Nokia E71 AND EVERYTHING IS SO FAR SO GREAT. The only problem I am experiencing now is that I cannot move to the next track using the button (that is part of the headset). In order to move to the next track, can anybody tell me how to move to the next track without having to remove my phone from the pocket?.
I have used phones e51, 6120 classic and 5300 with the same problem.
Thank you in advance

Browse and Music Library on Tou

I've seen the thread for USB Mass Storage, so don't tell me about that.
I figured you guys know a lot about the players, so I'd ask you. Is it possible to support both a Browse function and the Music Library? Because I am used to Archos players which are driverless, thus allowing me to organize my music how I want, instead of by Artist, Album, or Genre.
I just bought a Zen Touch 40GB and am trying to figure out a way around this. Organize by Artist would be OK, but I have many "one-hit wonders" that each get their own entry in Artist view. Seeing as I have over 5000 MP3s, this is very annoying.
I am actually considering returning this player and buying an Archos Gmini XS200, which, despite having a 20GB dri've, has driverless support, and will allow me to organize my music the same as it is on my computer's HD.
So please, tell me if the Music Library keeps Creative from adding Browse by folder support, or if it can be done. If not, does anyone know of third-party firmware that can?

I'm doing that. I'm changing the Genre to the same as the folder the files are in. Still doesn't work that great.
I'd like to be able to drag and drop the folders from Windows Explorer, but still let it organize them using Music Library, but ALSO include a Browse function.
If it weren't for the lack of a browse function, this would be a perfect player.

Why does iTunes not refresh the Music Library if files are updated?

What if have already a nice library SYSTEM built for my music, and every time I add 30-50 files to 30-50 different locations, iTunes requires me to add the same song again... What if I am doing this updating for 3 hours and I can't remember anymore which songs I added to my Brazilian compilation folder? Why can't iTunes update the library with added files? I see this question popping up on a lot of forums. This is very cumbersome. I keep my international music collection organized by country of origin. If I let iTunes consolidate my music, it will put everything into one big folder organized by name of artist. I definitely don't want to let the program do that. I would lose all my work and all my system.
Once I imported the folder system into iTunes though as a reference, it does not recognize if there was a change, music added, music deleted, music reogranized. It doesn't make sense to delete everything from the iTunes Music Library every time I update my music collection.
Where is the solution? I want iTunes to find the changes and apply it to my Music Library automatically.
I can live with my iPod only having the files in one big library, since I mostly use it for shuffle play anyway, but I want to keep my originals in an orderly manner based on style, country of origin, etc. I don't want to end up having all my files renamed and moved.
So I need iTunes to refresh my Music Library by looking at the original folder I imported the list from, and make the necessary changes.

I guess then this is a serious shortcoming of iTunes... Up till this point I owned an RCA Lyra MP3 player and it had no problems whatsoever doing these things. I guess, after seeing how iTunes and iPod works, I'd rather return to Lyra if it had an 80 G version. The only thing that still keeps me with iPod is the capacity.
It seems like that iTunes is a very cumbersome program and it tries to be so much user friendly that it even tries to eliminate the human element. Sometimes, it makes sense to keep files organized in specific manner. Especially when there is work involved and productivity.
I guess I will just delete everything from the play list and read in the main folder every once in a while, leaving the machine working on it during the night or something, then another night, it will refresh my iPod. That's the only solution I see right now.
It is interesting that a huge program like iTunes cannot do what a small one like Lyra can. And I even read in user groups that some people created programs for this problem, but those programs don't work with iTunes 7 well yet, so I am stuck with the manual updating or the brutal deletion and re-reading.
Thank you for the answer. At least I know what not to expect from the program. I just use it for only one purpose: load music onto iPod, then forget about it. It quite an unuseful program for me otherwise.

Music not showing up in my Music Library after moving to another drive

My C: drive was full, so I moved the file to my F: drive (have done this before, but somehow it only copied it and reverted to the old location on C).
I found multiple iTunes folders throughout my many drives and got rid of all but the ones on the F: drive. It now shows multiple folders with all my songs on F: drive. However, they do not show up in my Music Library. I've tried the preferences \advanced \general \copy music to library trick and still nothing. Don't think I lost the music since I have all these folders (1 for each artist) and it looks like a lot of bytes.
Please help..
Alternatively, I'd like to know how to get the whole library on my laptop and off of this old computer that ran out of space. The F: drive is detachable.
Thank you in advance

Do you use iTunes Match? Others have complained that it can take some time (overnight?) for items to appear in their library because of Match activities.
Can you play a file with Quicktime Player? Is it complete?
Delete an item from the library but not the actual file. Add the file again.

Windows 7 Music Library doesn't show some of my album art all of a sudden. No solutions found!!

So my music files in my music folder on the computer still doesn't show the album art. some of the art covers still exist on the music files but newly downloaded and some music files that existed don't show the album art anymore.
I've tried most of the solutions online but none of them solved the problem. I don't think it's the media player because when I play it on the media player it shows the album art for the music. And I also cleared the cashe in the mediaplayer folder. There
must be something with the system because the folder showed the cover art before but all of a sudden it stopped displaying them.
I don't know what's wrong with it...is there something that makes the music album art not show all of a sudden and the album art doesn't show for the newly downloaded music as well...

Hi haydnan
It may be a problem of Windows 7 Explorer. First you can try all the different explorer views, title, Large icon..
If there is no effect, you can try to the following methods.
In Windows Explorer
1. left click on the mail folder where your music is stored and select it.
2. Now right click and go to “properties”.
3. Now click “advanced”.
4. Put a check in the “Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties”.
5.Click ”OK”.
6.Click”Apply”.
7. Click “OK” to apply changes to this folder. Sub folders and files.
Now go to your music library and see if it works.

Zen Sleek -WMP 11 - PC Music Library -Playli

Since December I have been unable to create/edit/delete any playlists using the PC Music Library, ?my preferred method with Creative MediaSource Organiser, on my Zen Sleek 20GB which was bought in Sept 05?& has performed wonderfully until then. In fact the PC Music Library doesn't seem to recognise the Zen Sleek even though it is connected and confirms as much. The Zen Sleek &?the PC Music Library don't seem to synchronise when new tracks are being imported.Around this time I did download Windows Media Player , at first without being aware of the compatability issues and the firmware requirements. I have corrected these and upgraded where required. I have rolled back to WMP0 but this has not changed anything and have indeed gone back to WMP because of this. The only (marginal) success with playlists is with using the Organiser's synchronisation facility but it is very inconsistent in transferring files.Any Suggestions

Just bought new PC with windows 8.1 and installed the 64bit tunes as instructed by the new PC. Only a small part of my music library is now showing but can see all the files in the itunes folder on an eternal hard drive linked to my old XP pc.

Problem - changed PC to one with Windows 8.1 ( previous from 2006 with Windos XP). Previously all ITunes stuff on an external harddrive as 80 gigs of music too much for the old PC
When attached Harddrive to new PC was told needed to install the new 64 bit iTunes as 32 bit iTunes not compatable.
Did so but only a very small portion of my music is showning - though rest of Library is still on the external drive in the folder.
Help please
Thanks

Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
Under iTunes Media though I do not have folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
Next - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders there is some other iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14
AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.

Itunes needs help finding a 1/3 of my music library. is there an easier way

this is my 3rd post to this question with no responses as of yet. please help
"a couple of weeks ago i decided i needed to move my itunes folder to an external hd to save space on my macbook. everything was smooth except for itunes not being able to find a quarter of my music and me having to locate the songs one by one. i bought an iphone yesterday and decided my life would be much easier to move the music back to the computer and make room by moving other things off the macbook. i was also thinking this may remedy the missing file problem. nope. i know how to find the songs and they're in the right place, just wondering if there is an easier way then locating 3000+ songs individually? not sure whats going on. thanks "

Demlo - A dynamic and extensible music library organizer (in pure Lua)

Demlo organizes your music library automatically and dynamically. It runs a chain of user-defined scripts using variables such as tags and file properties. This way it yields virtually unlimited customization power to the user.
Use case
As an example, consider a music library that is a a perfect definition of chaos:
No folder structure.
Tags are not homogeneous, some entries are filled, other not, it varies from file to file.
Some files have bad audio quality.
Audio codecs are not always the same. Some file are CBR/VBR, lossless/lossy, ...
mp3's ID3 tags are a nightmare.
Covers are sometimes embedded in tags, others are of terrible quality.
Features
A few scripts are already provided and they give a good example of what you can do. You can choose to use them, to rewrite them, or to write a new script from scratch. You can preview changes, and once you are done you call the program over you music library, it will process everything in one single run!
Scripts can be chained: this feature makes Demlo extremely flexible and powerful!
Move all files according to a unique, yet dynamic folder hierarchy. For
instance, setting
output.filename = table.concat {library, '/', o.artist, '/',
not empty (o.album) and (empty (o.date) and o.album .. '/' or o.date .. ' - ' .. o.album .. '/') or '',
empty (track_padded) and '' or track_padded .. ' - ',
o.title}
will move "john doe - 1. intro.ogg" to
"/home/$USER/music/John Doe/2013 - Great Album/01 - Intro.ogg" if there is an album and a date,
"/home/$USER/music/John Doe/Great Album/01 - Intro.ogg" if there is an album and no date,
"/home/$USER/music/John Doe/01 - Intro.ogg" if there is no album.
Case checking: a powerful script that will turn everything to title case. It supports special cases such as Roman numerals, McDonald, etc. It also supports a list of exceptions (e.g. AC-DC, DJ, feat., etc.).
Encoding: you can conditionally re-encode you files, so you can choose to only re-encode files with some particular encoding settings. You can set the desired bitrate, etc.
Covers: automatically remove embedded covers, remove duplicates, remove files beyond/below a quality threshold, etc.
Different kinds of music: classical, OST, and band songs have usually different kinds of tags and folder structures. You can manage different audio libraries easily by setting the corresponding "library" variables.
Edit tags of a file set with your favorite text editor.
Support for cue sheets. (Both external and embedded.)
Demlo can be interfaced with any other program, both ways. (X calls Demlo or Demlo calls X.)
MusicBrainz support for online tagging and cover fetching.
Technical characteristics
This program is completely written in Lua. Its only major dependency is FFmpeg. A few Lua modules are required, which should not eat more than a few KiB on your drive. This leads to a lightweight codebase for a portable and extensible program.
Dependencies
ffmpeg
lua (>= 5.1)
lua-dkjson
lua-filesystem
lua-llthreads2
lua-penlight
lua-socket
slnunicode
chromaprint (optional)
History
This program is based on Musish by the same author.
The original program was written in POSIX shell but suffured from many limitations as well as performance issues. It was rewritten in Lua to circumvent all those issues while applying minor changes to the CLI options and to the variable names. The syntax of the script changed to Lua as well. Here follows a list of major changes:
Traversing folders recursively is no longer a security issue.
Overall performance got boosted by a factor of approx. 2.
Scripts and configuration files are sandboxed, which means they can no longer contain harmful code. However it is no longer possible to chain scripts.
All tags are processed dynamically, no more hard-coded tags.

I hoped the structure I presented was clear enough. No, all/majority of tags would be a little too much, but genre, different release types, file types and some other basic distinctions, yes and tagsfs will probably help with that. There are special folders like [Compilation], [High Voltage SID Collection] and probably others in the future, maybe with help of tagsfs. Compilations and Artists are prepended by the leading letter of 'sorted artists/albums' level. Then albums/artists are sorted/presented in the manner visible in the Picard script:
$if($eq(%compilation%,1),
%COMPILATION%///%FIRSTLETTER%///$if2(%ALBUM%,%NONALBUMTRACKS%,[Other]) - $if(%DATE%,[%DATE%],),
%FIRSTLETTER%///$trim($if2(%ALBUMARTIST%,%ARTIST%),.)///$if(%DATE%,%DATE% - ,)$if2(%ALBUM%,%NONALBUMTRACKS%,[Other]) )
$if(%RELEASETYPE%,[%RELEASETYPE%],)%BARCODE%$if(%INCOMPLETE%,[%INCOMPLETE%],)[%EXT%]///
$if(%DISCNUMBER%,%DISCNUMBER%-,)%TRACKNUMBER%. %ARTIST% - %TITLE%
Picard has preview examples, so copying the whole script into file naming script under options should make this definitely clear.
Ambrevar wrote:Thinking about it, a similar feature is provided by most library managers where you can choose filters and tree structure and so on. It remains virtual though, it does not touch the filesystem. Is it really necessary to you to have that sort of view directly on your filesystem? The problem of the filesystem view seems very complex to me.
Not all devices provide that capability. It is more pleasant to work with that approach than previous structures I used, remember that I can restructure the whole library at any time and probably copy the local one elsewhere using the new structure, but I have not looked into that yet.
We probably have very different experiences, I see this as very comfortable and convenient. Before that I had been using folders for different file types in the main directory, but it ended up with so many entries for FLAC and MP3, that parsing that directories in a player or any maintenance using a file browser/terminal was too troublesome/slow. So I reduced the number of files, by using the alphabet and additional characters as sorting mechanism. And since that was one step away from separating compilations from albums/single releases, I did that also. Now I can access the whole library very quickly, even when one or two additional characters need to be typed.
Ambrevar wrote:Furthermore, would you consider this to be an automated task or a manual one? Using your example, how can a program know that Lauge & Baba Gnohm is both Lauge and Baba Gnohm if no tags says so?
Both, I want as always full control. MusicBrainz [database] relations.
Ambrevar wrote:Hard links do not work for folders.
Symlinks cause problems with most file browsers that do not follow them during copying.
I do not recall writing they should link folders, the directory structure would have to be [re]build and then files [hard/sym]linked, which might pose a maintenance issue, although deleting links and empty directories not really, but "leftovers" like covers could block cleaning. *The only file browser* I would recommend is Proto from a very friendly Polish programmer named Mieszko Lassota, but it is, or at least was last time I checked, Windows only and slowly further developed, although still kills every mc, mucommander and ranger on sight, that is how I remember it. SpaceFM is bearable, but I still only use rsync to copy files and see no point using anything else.
Ambrevar wrote:Can you elaborate on this? What are the limitations of Picard beyond symlinking? It could be interesting to know what feature you would like.
The recursive/linking aspect it the main point here. I hope this is not too big of a disappointment. Having too long names has also been a problem in few cases, classical music if I recall correctly, but those are limitations of the file system, however even that could be overcome with Picard, but the code would not be as easily readable as it is now. The question would be what should be abbreviated/priorities, what to do when after abbreviation the directory/file names are still too long and so on. I had to do it by hand these few times. Picard does not handle covers/images well in my experience, but I used something else for that, puddletag I think. I would have to continue to organize the library to remember.
Furthermore, not all media players/organizers do have the capability to get exactly this structure with formatting, leading letters and distinction between compilations and albums being two examples. Browsing this robust file structure with ncmpcpp is very efficient, I almost never use the library view. As long as a media player has the browsing capability, I have the same view/behavior. And other hardware also works without issues. Yes, it basically comes down to having the file system do, what media players should, however with a few exceptions I had only positive results for more than almost two years now. Do you now see benefits of having that file structure?
Again I will take a look at your tool, when I find some time and what progandy suggested also of course. How do you save your music on the file system?
Edit: Style. Clarification.
