Help required with N97 music player

Hi. Could someone help me out please.
Got an N97 at the weekend and wanted to transfer some songs onto the music player for my laptop.
Installed the OVI software no problem, everything went fine.
Dragged my chosen songs to the player and got a message confirming the songs had been transferred.
Went into music player in the N97 and it was totally empty.
Message saying all songs had been transferred on the software.
Any ideas?

OK, problem sounds similar to mine but refresh & waiting not working for me. One day my music was working fine (listening in car, using sat nav, all plugged into stereo, great...), then I download some photos to my PC and the next day, my music player doesn't think it has any songs...
Go into any of the "Albums", "Artists", "All Songs" etc folders and all I get is a message saying (no songs) and yet, at the top of the page, it says "11 days, 23 hours" - which is how much music I did have on there...
I have tried refreshing the library - takes about 30 seconds & tells me no new songs added. Have rebooted phone & taken battery out for a minute yet I still can't play or access any of my tunes.
Does anyone have any ideas? Please?!!!

  • N97 Music Player Fault

    I installed all the updates through USB from my laptop and for 2 days afterwards my music player was working fine on the phone, then my music has vanished from my library on the phone, but I can still use any of them as ring tones through the ringtones settings part. However in my llibrary mode it is showing as nearly 5 hours of music at the top of the screen but the middle display says no files, I have connected my phone yesterday to my computer and asked it to add more songs which the computer said was successful, So I then refreshed the library after disconnecting my phone and there is no change to the library, but everything else on my phone works fine.
    What do I do?

  • Having problems with my music player on my iPad with the new io7

    Downloaded the new io7 on my iPad mini. Now I have problems with the music player not letting me download songs onto my iPad, then closing out the app. Then on iTunes it shows up in the downloads tab and comes up as an error and still won't download. At this point I'd rather have the old io6. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

    Did you install the latest driver set for the device?  there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

    What is the size of your hard disk?  PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine.  Just a thought here.

  • Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.

    Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.
    I have successfully installed all of my creative cloud apps with the exception being acrobat.
    I cannot print from Indesign to PDF.
    I have unistalled, reinstalled and still no Adobe Acrobat.
    I now have to go back to Windows 8 and create the PDF's there.
    Any one know how to get around this issue?
    Thanks in advance

    OSX has effectively killed the ability to print to pdf, (print to pdf eliminates most of the "Rich features" of current pdf).
    Export from InDesign, always, excpet for the 1% of the time where you know why print to pdf would produce a better result.

  • Help required with (soundcard) connection / settings, thanks in advan

    Help required with connection / settings between a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX (soundcard) and a Creative DTT3500 Digital (5. speakers).
    The problem
    No sound from any of the speakers. (Exception can plug in headphones at front)
    Background
    My computer has been recently upgraded at my local computer shop and all programs re-installed (including driver update from Creative's website). However after reconnecting speakers and restoring the original settings I?m getting no sound from any of the speakers. I?ve followed all the available advice/instructions I can find on this website and manuals to no avail.
    Set-up
    Physical
    (Digital DIN) Speakers/decoder amplifier (DTT3500) connected to the (digital out) soundcard (Audigy Platinum EX) using minijack to DIN cable. (As per instruction manual)
    Software
    Creative Audio Consul ? setting as per instructions, however have tried variations in vain. (Note: above tabs there is a select device box with SB Audigy [A0000] in it ? only option. Just wondering what [A0000] means?)
    Your advice please. A simple step by step guide would be appreciated, many thanks in advance, Jon

    "My computer has been recently upgraded at my local computer shop and all programs re-installed (including driver update from Creative's website). "
    Do you have the original installation disk?
    If so, try installing THOSE drivers, ESPECIALLY if it worked before. Be sure to uninstall what is there now, first.
    Its natural for most people to want the 'latest' drivers for their hardware. However:
    After experiencing some difficulties with some CL 'updates' for certain products, I now avoid them UNLESS I am having a PROBLEM with the existing drivers.

  • Issues with Zune music player pausing/stopping

    So the main reason I got this was for the Zune music player.  Has anyone else had issues with the music player pausing automatically?  I was using it on a run and it worked fine for a while, then the songs would keep pausing automatically after about 10 seconds.  I gave up after unpausing it like 20 times and finished my run in silence.  Then today I was listening to the radio, everything was fine for 30 minutes or so, then it shut off.  I took it out of my pocket and brought up the radio tuner, and it wouldn't let me change the station, it would just exit out of the screen automatically.  Now, several hours later, it seems to be working fine.
    Has anyone else had a similar issue?  Is there a firmware upgrade or something I can run?  Or do I just have a defective unit?

    This is not a common problem, from what I've read. So if it were my device, I would get a warranty exchange. The Zune player is the best feature, so I wouldn't put up with the pauses you're describing.

  • N97 music player doesn't display my music

    Hi all,
    I have a problem since yesterday regarding the music player application on my N97. Namely, it will not display any of my music - it displays "no songs" for whatever section (Artists, Albums, etc.). Of course, I checked the file system and all music is there, safe and sound. It should be noted that the music files are in .mp3 or  .m4a format, placed appropriately (mass storage, folder "Music"). And I hadn't had this sort of problem until yesterday, when I was trying to sync music with my PC using Ovi Player and Ovi Suite. They both recognize my music files and display all albums and songs accordingly.
    To make it more interesting, when I choose "Music library details" option in the music library main screen, it displays the correct information (1490 songs, modified 26.11. etc.), but it simply won't list any music saying that I have none!
    What I tried:
    - refreshing the library a number of times - it reports "0 files added" and continues to behave in the same way;
    - importing some new music (via PC) and refreshing the library - the same outcome;
    - switching phone off and on (including removing the battery);
    - resetting the phone to factory settings.
    Nothing helped. It's running the newest firmware version (v20).
    In my opinion, the problem is not caused by the music files, but the music player application itself. So I don't think that formatting the mass storage would do the trick. Someone correct me if I'm mistaking.
    Also, I would very much like not having to reinstall the firmware as it was excruciating in the first place - lost connection with the device, my phone almost died, etc. But if anyone strongly thinks that it is worth trying, then I will. This is extremely annoying.

    ok i found the solution here by deleting the corrupted library
    http://portablevideo.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-player-database-problems.html 
    now one of these below is for the music and one for the photos and i didnt have a problem with the photos but did it anyways and now the player can see my music:
    these are the files that need deleting in order to get rid of the corrupted library.
    Storage Drives: (Mass storage E, Memory Card F)
    \private\101ffca9\harvesterdbvx_x.dat
    \private\10281e17\[string]mpxvx_x.db
    \private\10281e17\[string]pcvx_x.db 
    TIP: Connect the device in USB mass storage mode (File Transfer), to locate the private folder from the PC.
    TIP: STRING and x_x will change depending on your phone. (my files had slightly different names than above on the n97)

  • N97 - Music Player - Some songs seems to speed up ...

    I've noticed this strange behaviour on my N97.
    When playing back MP3s in the Music Player application, I can noticeably hear the track speed up (or race).  The speed up is subtle, and it sounds like a pitch shift at first.  Then the track seems to return to normal speed after about 20-30 seconds.  Then after about the same amount of time the track races again.  It is not on all tracks, and it usually happens after playing a long album (say more than 4 hrs of play).
    Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?
    I'm on v21.2.045.CO1.01 (RM-507)
    I have a custom theme installed on the phone: "Lake" Theme.
    Nokia N8

    Just listened to a track then that had the playback speed up and slow down like it was having a drag race.  It is such a random bug.  
    I wonder if it has something to do with the track type, or the bit rate of the track?

  • N97 music player upload

    I have a mac so it is difficult for me to transfer multimedia to my N97. I downloaded the multimedia transfer software but it only transfers songs to the memory. can anybody tell me how to play them in the music player????
    Thanks. 

    I think that you need to scan for new music, by openign the music player, pressing options and choosing "refresh library" it will scan for new music files and add them to your music player.
    I've had massive issues uploading music, with songs that have perfect ID tags ending up in an unkown artist folder, and only around 30% of my songs appearing with album art... and why nokia can't impliment gapless playback (no pause inbetween tracks)

  • N97 Music Player

    Is there a better / alternative music player available anywhere for the N97? The default player is poor in my opinion - the player I had on my 2 year old Sony W960 was way ahead of this Nokia product.
    Simple things like being able to hide artists associated with compilations seems to be missing.

    I agree with rapid, poor sound compared to my last SE 'phone. Good high end but the middle is weak and the bass lacks any puch whatsoever. And those earphones? A 'phone that costs so much and a budget of 7 pence for them? Good grief.
    Nokia: do yourselves a favour - go and spend a few quid on a cheap Sony 'phone and have a look at how the music should be done on your "market leading entertainment device".
    Sony: here's an opportunity for you - port some of your music player software to S60 v5, sell it in the Ovi and you'll have a stream of punters. In fact, since the upcoming Satio / Idou / whatever-it's-called-this-week is S60 v5, and I'm assuming you'll have put more than 10 minutes though into the music player on the thing, let's just have that software. Thanks.
    I do like most things about this 'phone and I expect the irritating bugs will get ironed out in due course, but it's a shame it had to be so disappointing out of the box.

  • 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

  • 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

  • N97 Music Player Lyrics Update

    Hi, I recently got an update for Music Player on my Nokia 5800 XM. This update includes Auto Lyrics feature which is something I was looking for. I have another cellphone Nokia N97. I want to ask, why N97 don't have this update? And if Nokia is planning for it when it'll be released?

    They will be sorted to Artist/Album/Genre if the files have been tagged properly and if the phone will recognize the tag IDs. I would recommend to use mp3tag over other software for tagging music intended for Nokia phones.
    For the refresh problem:
    1. Connect your phone to you PC in Mass Storage Mode
    2. On your PC you will need to have allowed to “Show” hidden files, do this from Explorer/Tools/ Folder Options/ View and select “Show hidden files and Folder”
    3. Open your SD memory card/Removable Disk in My Computer on PC
    4. Go to E:\ Private there you will see 3 folders 101f8857, 101ffca9 and 10281e17 .
    5. Go to Private\101f8857\Cache\E there you will see .dat files. Delete all the .dat file BUT NOT the E Folder. Shown above right
    6. Now go to Private\101ffca9 there you will see another .dat file, Delete the dat file NOT the folder.
    7. Finally go to Private\10281e17 There you should see 4 files 2 are Mp3 files other are Podcast files. Delete mpxv2_2.db & mpxv2_2.db-journal for Mp3 files list and Delete pcv6_1.db & pcv6_1.db-journal for Podcast files list. Shown above right
    8. Close all windows and disconnect your Phone. Go to Music Library and it should automatically start a refresh.
