E71 music player refresh

I just can't get the player to refresh correctly! It always freezes no matter what I do. I added ~200 songs, it detected ~90 but stopped there, saying "refreshing" even after 1 whole hour!
I tried Nokia Music Manager (from PC suite), Windows Media Player, Mediamonkey, tried manually putting the mp3's in the memory card, tried the default folder, tried custom folders. What's going on!?
I am using the latest firmware.
Please someone help me out with this, I'm so frustrated, I'm starting to consider other options (selling this mobile).

Unfortunately, at least in my case, the solution suggested that involves deleting hidden files, reformatting the memory card, etc. does not work. The only way I was able to fix my E71 was by re-flashing the entire phone, then reinstalling everything. That fixed the problem, but only for about 2 weeks. Last night, I went to sleep with 913 music files on my phone. This morning, the files are stil there, but Music Player doesn't see any of them.
The only status that changed was I turned my phone off, last night, and turned it on, this morning. No music files were added or anything.
I don't care to re-flash my phone, every couple of weeks. Even with the latest firmware, there seems to be a problem with the E71 and its music player.
Although it takes a little while to start up, I'm now using LCG Jukebox, as my music player. It doesn't display track listings as well as Nokia Music Player, but LCG Jukebox has no problem reading the tracks that Nokia Music Player cannot even find. Plus, LCG Jukebox allows me to fast forward through single MP3 files, such as podcasts, which is a trick Nokia Music Player cannot handle.
I'll be interested to see, with these new phone Nokia is releasing (N8, C7, E7, etc.) if the same software problems with the E71 pop up, there. No amount of eye-candy (the coverflow display) can make up for a music player that cannot even identify tracks in common MP3 format, on the memory card.
This thread might as well be closed out; there's no reasonable resolution to the problem of the E71 not refreshing its music tracks. If it happens to your phone, there really appears to be little you can do about it. Nokia has your money and the only choice now is whether you'll give them more, and spin the roulette wheel on a new Nokia phone, betting the music player on that phone won't spike the same issue.

    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.

  • E63 & E71- Music player's equalizer does not work ...

    I would advise to all the owners of the E71 and E63 that Nokia disenable the equalizer of the music player when you put the headphones in appliances. After updating the unit note that the equalizer only works with the sound of the speaker and the equalizer does not work with the headphones anymore.
    I ask you to please click the link below and make their complaints about this new firmware that "destroys" the equalizer for the music player that Nokia fix this terrible problem!

    Oh my. That is a big problem. Fortunately for me, I don't use the equalizer so it doesn't really affect me all that much. But still, I have no idea how they could just randomly break something like that.

  • E71 music player lost volume control

    Hi, my E71 has lost the volume control I was on a plane to LA and had no use of the MP3 player. I re-set the phone and it wasn't repaired.
    Looks like the firm ware has lost this and as neither an update or a re-load option available not sure what to do.
    Also how do you get the music play to update the libiray as I have deleted the music and it still shows? any ideas would be helpful.
    Solved!

  • 5800 v50 music player problems

    i just updated my 5800 to v50 and had a few annoying problems with the music player... first when i opened the music player refreshing the library took eons and it seemed that it stuck at 10 files added... then i finally i decided to delete all the mp3s for the phone and add them using the ovi player but sometimes when i touch a song to play nothing happens and then i can't exit the player only by turning the phone off and when i do sometimes the phone gets stuck at a black screen and then i have to remove the battery and reinsert it to make the phone work again!! i don't know what other problems this version of firmware has but i regret updating!! before this i had v20 and was very happy with it

    1. Complaining may or may not bring it back in next release. The usual modes is snail mail to your local Nokia Head Office or the Contact Us button at the top of the page.
    2. Downgrade is not possible without a heavy risk of bricking the phone.

  • N8 music player isnt refreshing

    Good day friends! Please help me find a solution to this problem..
    At first my n8's music player is working fine. But suddenly after i add songs to my n8 and try to refresh the music library, it keeps on saying "library is up to date" but no file or song was added to the music library..
    I have tried to search some solutions here and follow the instruction like deleting the mpx stuff but stiLl it is not working.
    Please help me.. Thank you in advance

    Connect your N8 in USB mode, have you manually verified the file is there in the first place. Also, is it a file recognised by your N8?
    Test again to add a music file as normal and see if it does send to the phone.
    I had this problem a few days ago and basically the file and information on it was wrong sending it to a folder where I didn't want it. Only knew it was there by a "Search" on my phone.

  • N8 music player has to refresh library every time ...

    N8 music player has to refresh library every time after switching on the phone. why?

    How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
    If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library: 
    reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
    Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
    Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
    What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
    It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

    Hi Mushroomlolz,
    Sounds like a problem with metadata in the music files. I recall this happening to me also when upgrading from Symbian Anna to Nokia Belle. The way the metadata of music files is handled differently in Nokia Belle and Nokia Belle Refresh, therefore you will need to locate the offending files and use an advanced ID3 / metadata tag editor on your PC to edit the metadata tag information so it will display correctly on your device.

  • N97 Music Player Keeps On Refreshing

    I recently updated my N97 V.20 and the phone is way better than before.. I have problem in my music player when i copy files on my internal 32GB memory and refresh the library it keeps on refreshing then i have to remove battery. When i on the phone and check the music library it will not show any music tracks but the details shows that 273 songs have been added..
    * When i hard reset my phone the music files will be displayed on my library
    * When i add new music files and refresh my music library the same error occurs "music library keeps on refreshing"
    Can anyone suggest me how can i solve this problem?? Because of this bug i am unable to listen to music on my phone :-(

    I also had the "Problem".
    1. Restart your Phone ( OFF and ON ) after transferring the Files.
    2. Start Music Player
    3. Go to "options"
    4. Got to "refresh library" or "update library" I don't know the exact wording because i've got the German Version.
    5. The amount of imported Files will be displayed. Finished.

  • N97 music player take 3 mins to refresh playlist

    hello guys, i jus want to know if other people are also experiencing my problems. i'm not going to touch every no97 music player issues. i'll tell you one at a time. well here it goes, when i've about 400 songs in the music player and i decide to delete one in the list, the list(playlist) takes 3 mins to refresh. this is eally annoying.

    Hi, all my music is drag and dropped into the Music folder on E, I drag a full album folder into this (normally including a jpg image of album cover) if I want to delete a song, find it quicker to find the track in ' All songs' rather than in 'Album', also tend to edit stuff on computer via usb connection rather than on phone (though use both methods, as well as file manager on handset). I have about 8gig free on E and don't have any issues with media playback (over 60 music vids and full length movies on E in Video folder ) If phone is 'laggy' try a hard reset, but if you can cope leave it as it involves a good bit of time in 're-building' your phone !
    Good Luck

  • 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.

  • Default Nokia Music Player is not refreshing songs...

    HI,
    I'm using Nokia C5-05.... Default Nokia Music Player is not refreshing songs from Memory Card... I tried removing the memory card and inserting again... Wen I click Refresh Library, its refreshing and showing as "0 files(s) added".... I don't understand why???  Pls help me....
    Please check and update me regarding the necessary actions to be taken as soon as possible.....
    Thanks.

    hae you checked via Nokia Suite on your PC if there are any firmware updates available for your handset? if there are any, please update to the latest version offered. failing that, can try re-installing the current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
    might also pay to check the memory card via a memory card reader, to see if it is working fine or not.

  • Music player not refreshing the memory card in Nok...

    Hi All,
    I have , once, removed my mobile phone from data cable without safety remove and there it gave me lot of troubles. My facebook was not able to be connected through the provided application and my music player stopped working as and stopped refreshing saying that "File corrupted"
    Finally. i removed my memory card, formatted it and made it worked.
    Nokia should consider fixing these issues as we respect them a lot and think that they are still the #1 hardware vendor and will keep giving us good options than Samsung - android and will compete with apple phones.
    Thanks,
    Madas

    It already states that removing your cable without properly ejecting the device will cause problems with the software and memory card inside your device. 
    This issue is user side removing the cable early. To prevent further corruptions, please safely remove hardware from your desktop.
