Faulty n95 v21 music player?

hi,
Before on v20 (with orig. Nokia 1gb microsd and 2gb microsd), every new music added through nokia music manager will be automatically added to the music player without me refreshing the phone, now a couple of days(maybe weeks)i updated fw (v21) and i also switched to a sandisk 4gb microsd hc, i noticed that music doesn't automatically appears on the player, i have to refresh the music player from time 2 time.
Could it be the memory card? Or the firmware?
Thanks in advance!

Revert to a memory card that you were using when the phone didn't display the fault. If the problem goes away then the new memory card is the source of the problem. If the problem persists then it's the new firmware.

  • N95-1 Music player Volume control problems

    I muted the music player recently by turning the volume all the way down via the side volume controls and now I'm unable to turn the volume back on or up. The up controls on the side of the phone seem to work, ie feel the click of the switch operate, but nothing happens? I'm able to listen through the headset HS-45 that comes with the phone but have no control over the phone/music/video via the AD-43 in either the Music or Video modes?. Haven't yet tried the phone functions via headset! can somebody throw some light onto these issue's - phone has been its firmware recently updated to the latest version via the Nokia web site without any problems in a hope of rectifying these issue's but no luck.

    Hi
    I have a similar problem. Recently upgraded to V21.
    Stick with me here...
    Firstly I noticed the volume keys on the side of the phone didn't work; couldn't turn music up/down nor did they work when I was on a call. The only way to adjust in call volume was to use the centre navi key.
    Secondly; whenever this happens I also notice when the keys are locked that the message "Press Unlock to activate keypad" keeps appears on the screen without me pressing anything.
    Finally this causes a battery drain. Massively increasing the power usage from 0.2w to well over 1w
    This happens intermittently i.e. cant adjust volume for about a day then everything is fine again.
    Yesterday I also noticed that when the above happens the music controls (multimedia keys) when the slider is down dont work, they dont pause, play, stop, fwd/rwd or launch the music player.
    Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • N95 music player and working with sub folders

    Hi, I use file transfer to move my music from PC to N95 and use folders and sub folders within the music folder.  I cannot see the folders when using the music player.  I need advise how I can transfer my music easily so that I can play music files that are within a folder.  regards.

    Yes. The refresh seems to have no effect on the Podcasts. I even unsubscribed to all my podcasts--which is supposed to also delete the downloaded podcasts as well; did a refresh and the the podcasts are still listed on the mediaplayer.
    Another weird thing is that if the podcast app downloads another podcast, it is added to the list!

  • 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!

  • N95 Has Stupid Music Player

    Hi Everyone,
    I have an N95 8GB with the latest firmware version (V20.x.x). My problem is that when I play the music player, it will randomly cause the phone to freeze and reboot after maybe half an hour or so. I tried resetting the phone, and reinstalling software with NSU but the problem still persists.
    Has anyone got any ideas? I'm reluctant to send it away for repair because I know they'll just re-flash the phone and send it back to me and the problem still won't be fixed.
    This is not acceptable NOKIA for a ~€600 phone!!!
    Anyone able to offer any help or able to confirm that they share the problem?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    If you've done a *#7370# reset and formatted E and you still can't see your music, the phone needs to go to a Nokia care point, there is nothing else you can do

  • 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.

  • N97 Music Player - faulty icons

    Hi everyone. Thought I would post here with this little problem, as I seem to have exhausted the internet in looking for a solution.
    Basically the music player short cut icon on the desktop(?) AND the 'last played' icon in the player do not work. What this leads to is if I start playing a song and move away from that playing page I cannot get back and switch off the music!  
    I have tried re-installing the firmware but to no avail.
    Anyone help?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Is this a problem that has just occurred or has your music player been like this since you bought the phone ? Ehen you say 'desktop' do you have a shortcut on your home screen, or do you go in the default way, menu-music ? And finally when you 'go away from the playing page' what do you mean ? Do you hide music player, go back to album, all songs, artists etc. if you leave music playing and leave music player, a long press on the silver menu button should show all open apps and you can select music, if you exit music player (close it) then last played should show next time you open music.
    If this problem has occurred since purchase, a soft reset would resolve it, if it's been like it all the time it may be lack of familiarity with the operating system, if you can clarify a little, I (or someone else) may be able to help.
    Good Luck

  • [N95] Music player stopped adding mp3s

    It just happened, I normally add mp3s via mass storage and then rescan collection.
    Now I tried to delete "private" folder, reformatting memory card, but music player is not picking up music anymore.
    I don't want to format it again - are there any other solutions?

    Unfortunately, I've tried that. However I don't know how to acces phones "private" folder, it's just one if you use it via usb cable. Maybe bluetooth?
    I did reformat phones memory - it is the only thing that helped (still it is not fun reinstalling everything - backups are not perfect).
    And also I'm using it for work now, I cannot really afford reformatting and setting up frequently

  • N95 Music Player Search/Scroll Functions - more us...

    I don't know if this is a bug, or an incomplete function? If it doesn't exist, I would surely love to see it in the next firmware upgrade (hint: Nokia people, take note!).
    When I was viewing "all songs" in my music player, I wanted to search songs in alphabetical order. The search box popped up, but it wasn't working. One possible reason that I thought of was that it is case-sensitive (since all my songs start with a capital, ie. "Damien Rice - Blower's Daughter"). The search function was only in small letters; holding the # key didn't switch it to caps.
    Upon experimenting by renaming a song in small letters and also in numbers, i discovered that the search function still didn't work. Is this a bug?
    On a side note, I realized that the scroll function in the music player can only scroll downwards from the first item, as opposed to scrolling "up" to the last song. It is a real hassle to scroll to the last song in the list if you have like a hundred songs! Can this be rectified as well?
    All these small things make a difference to users like me... as it's really all about user-friendliness.
    Any thoughts, any one?

    All you need to do is create a playlist and call it what you like, if the music is on your phone music player will find it and you can select individual tracks or albums and add to playlst or create new ! Also you can use Ovi suite to sync/ transfe music to your phoner or create playlists. Personally I just drag and drop music onto my phone that I like and use PlaylistDJ from Ovi store.
    Good Luck

  • N95 music player can't fastforward wav file

    I have a 1.5hour recording in amr format, I can FF to any position no problem, but once I converted it to wav format the music player can no longer do FF, the best I can do is forward 2 minutes, more than that the pointer returns to start once I release the button, the file size is about the same 4M before and after the conversion, any fix to that ?

    Don't know, but any particular reason why you want the file in WAV and not AMR?, why not convert to MP3 or WMA or AAC?
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • N95 Voice Comm. command for music player?

    Under the voice Comm. - new application, how do I add the music player?

    You can only add applications that are offered on the list, you cannot add it if it's not there.
    So, hit options / new application and you'll see a list of all available programs.

  • Stupid N95 music player cannot delete album and ar...

    After added new songs, then refrash, the new albums and artist can shown in the list. But How about I deleted these songs? The albums and artist still in the list that I cannot delete them. A stupid notice, 'feature not supported', is displayed when I want to delete the an albums or artist. How stupid the application design is! Is it a record to remind me what I listened before?
    Also, why the background picture was separated in the now playing window? I means cannot be shown full screen as other screens. My theme is work well in V12 firmware, what problem on V20?
    In fact, I am very disappoint that Nokia rob of the free GPS function in new firmware to chouse more money from customer. Now, a useless music player is pushed to user. What is next?

    There a a number of posts on how to easily solve the problem regarding deleting album/artist folders.
    Odd what you say about the GPS. My GPS is free. The navigation isn't but I can read a map....

  • N95 Music player freezing issue

    Ok I have tried many a place to find a fix to my issue. When I am playing my music, every now and then it fades out and then in again in a about half of a second frame and the screen freshes from the screensaver to the music player background. It is not a matter of an alert going off, an incoming call or battery life. I just hate it when I am playing the music and it fades like a cheap DJ trying and failing to do a cross over lol.
    Thanks for the read all

    No worries figured out the config that was causing the freezing/crashing.
