Failing Music Player

My 2nd generation iPod Touch was working completely and totally normal up until a few days ago when the music player stopped working. When you click on the music button, it directs you to the playlist screen but then doesn't allow you to scroll and sends you back to the home screen after 5 seconds of being on the malfunctioning playlists. I have tried other ways to get to my music, such as typing in the title of the song into the home search bar and then clicking on the song which directs you to now playing, but also after 5 seconds of being on that screen, the player crashes back to home screen again without playing music. I have also tried alternative routes of getting applications and creating playlists, but they don't play either. Everything else on my iPod functions perfectly besides this. It's as if my iPod doesn't want me to listen to music. I have tried restarting the iPod multiple times, but that doesn't fix it either. The problem is, is that I am currently on vacation, so I don't have access to my main computer where I sync my iPod, so I have no idea how to fix the problem. This will be my 4th iPod Touch to malfunction. Please help, because I can't afford to purchase another iPod Touch, if that is the necissary means.

Hi bits84,
Please try the following actions and see if some of them fixes the issue. Make a backup with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7780# followed by lock code (default is 12345). This is soft reset, no data lost. The settings will be restored to factory state.
You can also reinstall the phone software. The process is the same as when updating with Nokia Suite, but at the end select "Reinstall".
If it's still the same, type in *#7370#. This is hard reset, phone memory will be wiped. Restore back up.
Hope you get the device working normally again.

Hello! I got exactly the same problem with my Nokia 7210 supernova. It started when I was playing an mp3 while trying to explore the settings. I tried changing the player theme and all of a sudden I got the error message. I thought a restart would do the trick but didn't. I even tried "hard" reformat (everything in the phone is restored) but still no luck.
I will try to update my firmware tomorrow and I'll let you know if it solves the problem..

Looking for a decent music player

I know there is a lot of similar topics on forum, but no one did not respond to my question.
So far I have tried Exaile, Rhytmbox, Pragha, Decibel, Goggles, ... and so on.
They are all good players but have some critical flaws.
Exaile is maybe the best of them, but it is slow with large collections.
Pragha is fast and light but does not support pulse and multimedia keys wont work with it.
Decibel is next best thing after Exaile.
Goggles is fast, but ugly, media keys wont work, no pulse support and its GUI is confusing.
I have even tried mpd + GUI, but such option is just too complicated to setup for simple music player.
Okay, this is my personal opinion. What do you think?
I just need player with ease of use of Exaile but faster with large music collections.

I'd suggest you buy a faster computer with lots of memory and keep using exaile.
Regarding GMM:
1) media keys: we try to grab the usual XF86AudioPlay multimedia keys. If they don't work, it usually means they're already grabbed by some other application or desktop environment (I noticed this with gnome on a ubuntu installation). In case of the desktop environment, remove the default keybindings for those specific keys. Another case it might fail if the multimedia keys don't have the usual XF86Audio* keycode assigned to them.
2) For pulse support you need a pulseaudio plugin for xine. Either file a bugreport with Arch to enable the building of the plugin, or create your own custom xine package.
3) I'm always happy to hear suggestions to make the GUI less confusing.

Ipod touch 32 gb problems music player

Hi there,,
Three days ago i updated the software of my ipod to the version (iOS 5.1.1) and after that I noticed that the music player started to fail.
When I'm listening to any song it stops playing without any reason or when the ipod is on sleep mode the music starts to play. Another problem is that the speed of the song changes without any explanation or the music stops and then the voice control its activated. what can i do to fix it? thanks....

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

E7 Symbian Anna music player vs N8 PR1.2 music pla...

Does anyone here happen to have both the E7 (with Symbian Anna), as well as an N8 9with PR1.2)?
If so, can you do a comparison of the Anna music player compared to the poor default player of the N8?
Are there any noticeable UI differences at all, or have Nokia plainly just neglected the music player entirely with the Anna update? Are we destined to continue using such a broken piece of music software until further updates? Have Nokia ignored all feedback relating to the N8's music player, and failed to rectify the problems which plague it currently?
I think many people will agree that the music player on older Nokia handsets is far superior than that of the N8, so I am wondering whether they have listened to complaints and fixed the problems which were reported (Ie, a major gripe was having the Artists and Albums combined)
Any heads-up of what to expect with our N8 Anna update would be very useful!

Well for starters, how are songs organised on the E7? Are artists and albums still grouped together, or have Nokia split them up as they should be?
One of the main problems of the N8 music player is that multiple artists who share an album name (Ie, "Greatest Hits") seem to get grouped together under just one album title. Is this still true on the E7?
Also, how are compilation albums displayed? This has also been an issue on the N8, mainly because artists and albums have been grouped together, rather than separately as per older Nokia devices such as the N91, N82, N95, and N96
Does Anna on the E7 feature a graphical equaliser? This was something else which was missing from the N8, but present on previous handsets.
Have Nokia added an alphabetical search field for the music player, as promised? With split-screen QWERTY text entry, there is now no reason why this should not have been added
Little things like these. How does the E7 Anna software compare to the N8 PR1.2 software? Or have Nokia just blatantly ignored the music player entirely?

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.

N80 volume in music player

hi, ive had my n80 for about 2 months just reciently ive noticed that the volume in music player doesnt sound right.
ie, it sounds very tinny.
ive tried resetting the equaliser and tried other equaliser settings but still the same.
it used to sound alot louder and better quality than this.
compared to my brothers 6280 my n80 is rubbish.
is the speaker broken or is there anymore settings ive missed
thanks in advance

If you have checked out the internal settings and they look fine ,then either the songs that you have downloaded have corrupted or the speaker on the handset has failed.
Try downloading some more sounds and if they are sounding the same then i would suggest you book it into a Nokia Repair service Centre for it to be checked out.
better safe than sorry !
Nokia Lumia 520

Be happy !!

Music Player Stopped Working

I use the simple Quicktime Music Player to play mp3 music on my website.
However, when I was prompted to update Quicktime, the music player quit working. I think I have messed up the MIME association.
How do I fix that?
Thanks,

It could be corrupted data on the memory card that's causing this.
Does it behave in the same way if you remove the memory card?
If it works ok without the card you need to format the card and reload the music and try again.
If it still fails to work try a factory reset from the settings menu. If that fails then you will have to take it to a nokia care point for repair.

N95 music player bitrates

Hi there,
I've just been loading mp3's onto my N95. The music player only seems to play some of them, even though they all play absolutely fine on my PC.
It looks like the differential between those that work and those that don't is that the working ones are low bitrate ( 128kbps, 256kbps ) and the ones that are failing are 320kbps.
Does anyone know if this is an official limitation. The manual says that "Music Player does not nescessarily support ALL versions of a file format".
Which is a little vague.

I've checked again. Looks like my latest rips are 384kbps. That is greater than the 320kbps max, which would explain why it's not working too well!

No search option in music player Nokia N8

there is no search option in music player of nokia N8 like other nokia phone (N82 N72)
if we are in all song list and we want to play a song how to search that song?
i have 14 GB songs in my N8 so it is very difficult to search a single song in vast list
plzz fix this issu in next firmware update

no offense, dude, but that was a stupid comment. obviously you are the one who has no clue and doesn't know how to use the phone. everybody knows there's search widget that can do that, but it's just plain ridiculous. it is as if you're suggesting that whevenever we want to text a sms, we need to open "message" app, then go to main menu and open another "keyboard" app so that we could finally type something.
the feature of being able to find the song by typing the alphabet was there since N73. and it's so so so convenient. it was fast and efficient. another feature is the abilily to edit the songs details. it' makes selecting song and creating playlist like a breeze. i love nokia musica player because of this. these useful and practical features is something that other phone manufacturers still fail to offer. that's why nokia stood out. now in N8, all these were taken away. it's a major loss.
stop acting like a smart **bleep**, and make a fool out of yourself.
to Nokia, please solve this issue. if this is the price that i have to pay to have the cover flow feature, i'd rather not have it. the cover flow is uselss to me, beside being eye candy

5800XM Music player issue : General System Error

Hi everyone,
I have a Nokia 5800XM since 1 year and I have an issue since a few weeks...
I Updated my phone to the 40.0.005 firmware version
When I play a music with the music player, at the end of the song, there is a General System error and I can't use the payer anymore. But the rest of the phone system is operational, I can do what I want (except playing music). If I reboot the phone, I can play 1 song and the same error appears...
I've tried a soft reset, a hard reset and a firmware reinstallation... The problem remains the same.
I'm a little bit lost, I don't know what to do
Can somebody help me ???
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes the problem seems to be the memory card. Before we get to formatting, lets see if its an error in a file. Simply plug in your memory card into your PC via card reader, or lacking that plug in the phone and memory card via mass storage mode. Go to My Computer>Right Click the Memory Card>Properties>Tools>Disc Check. Check it for errors, remember to set auto-fix. Then try the card again on your phone. If it failed to fix, connect the card again to PC via mass storage and format it. Then disconnect and pop into your phone. Go to File Manager>Memory Card>Options>Memory Card Options>Format (Actually you can skip the format on PC, but I just do that to ensure that the thing is wiped clean before I format it using the phone to install phone software).
That should clean up the card. Also, my advise is that when your card is properly working keep regular backups of it. And I do not mean Ovi Suite or PC Suite. Use a third party backup solution (I use the inbuilt one in BitDefender Total Security) to completely back up your card. If you restore from those backups, all apps are restored.

6288 music Player freezes and locks phone

My Nokia 6288 when I start the music player freezes. I goes into the music player says "starting music player" then freezes in that screen. I can press cancel to un freez it but that makes all the phones applications fail and then the phone will then turn off and not turn back on. The only way to reset it is to remove the battery. everything will then work until you try to start the music player again..

Had a simular problem, it got stable after a few trips to the Nokia service centre....

N97 mini - Music player bugs

Opening the podcast in the music player reveals several options missing, like least played, never played etc. As a frequent user of podcast, the options are used all the time. They are missing in N97 mini, however available in N97, N86, 5800.

Sometimes even i fails to swith off it and only solution is pulling battery out of phone.
Even no solution from Nokia care.

N82 Music Player Broken :(

Recently I accidentally pulled out the USB cable whilst transferring music. Since then the music player fails to add music on the micro SD card to the music player (though it can still be played through file manager).
Tried reinstalling the firmware to no avail.
Also, does anyone know why I can't upgrade the firmware on the phone from 10 to 11 (can't remember the other numbers). I've heard one thing about it being O2 and another about it being in the UK

Your memory card is probably corrupted. You need to format it.
As for the firmware it's because you have a network branded model. Most networks are very slow to approve new firmware for use, thats if they bother at all. O2 UK is one of the worst offenders.

Music player stopped working on 6085

It used to work just fine but now when I try to start the music player the darn thing freezes for a while then beeps then eventually....after a looong time goes back to the main screen. I have tried updating the firmware...it is now 5.03 and still does the same thing....ideas?

It could be corrupted data on the memory card that's causing this.
