Little "key" icon in Music Player

When I play some of my mp3s on the E51 there's a little key icon displayed in the Music Player. The key is in front of a box with three vertical lines in it.
I suspect this refers to copy protection that applies to the track in question? The online help on the phone doesn't explain this.
/p

I am experiencing the same phenomen. I don't know what it is- curious myself!
But I don't think it's protection- I sent the same MP3 file which showed the "key" icon to a friends phone, and it played perfectly.
Anyone definitely know what it is?

Nokia E72 : shortcut key to start music player?

Hello,
Is there a shorcut key on the querty keyboard for starting music player in Nokia E72 ?
Thanks
Venks

No.
But you can reprogram one of the one-touch keys so that, for example, a long press on the "contacts" key fires up the 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

When opening music player, I keep getting icons that say waiting. These keep adding up and I can't get rid of them

I have icons that pop up and say: waiting but nothing loads, these keep coming in after I open music player. I can't delete these either

go to the appstore and make sure that there are no new updates for Drawsomething.
If that is fine, double tap the home button and remove every app you see in that area. (hold your finger on the recent apps area that just came up and then remove every app from that area.
Now try to go to DrawSomething.
If that didn't do it:
Now go to where you have draw something and remove it from your ipad (hold down the icon until it all of them start to wiggle and hit the X on Draw something.
Now go back to the App Store and redownload draw something.
See if that doesn't help.

Little cloud icon in my music library in ios7.

Little cloud icon in my music library after downloading ios7. What am I actually doing when I click on the cloud?

With ios 7 there is a new feature that shows you all the music you purchased with your apple id. You can disable this by going to settings/music/show all-off. Also this helps with saving data usage if you do not have unlimited data.

Torch 9860 music player icon missing

Hi there.. I have some problems with the music player. After I installed a theme and reboot the phone, I realized that my music player icon was missing. I can't find it in media folder, so I try the universal search, but with no result. It's like it just disappeared. What should I do? Anyone here has the same problem? Waiting for your replies. Thx

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Themes have quite some power...including the ability to hide things from you completely. Given what you describe, that's what I'd deduce is happening...the Theme you installed is hiding those things from you. To find out more, you need to contact the Theme developer. Alternatively, remove the Theme.
Good luck!

Chances are, you have already tried this and already know the answer.
But, if not....sorry, but no......since your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you must use the extra software workaround in the Mac.
A newer AirPrint printer would allow you to do what you want.

E72 Optical Key seems to make the Music Player use...

... given that if you go anywhere near it, it jumps towards the start of the track. However, if you disable it, then you can't focus the camera. Any workarounds?
And while we're on the topic of the Music Player, I find it pretty bad that you can't exit out of the application and then have it pick up playing where you left off. I don't mean let it keep going in the background - I mean actually leave the Music Player. This seems like pretty basic functionality. Makes listening to podcasts on the phone very tedious. Am I missing something? Is there a way to pick up where you left off?

I suppose I've been spoilt by having a previous phone with dedicated music player buttons. I wish there was a way to have this on the E72 although I realise that media playing isn't the focus of the phone.
As for autofocus with the optical key off - I know that you can still take the photo, but you can't pre-focus and then decide not to take the photo at all. Maybe not a biggie but still an annoyance.
Sometimes the optical key creates more problems than it solves. As I've said in another post, I'm pretty sure it's responsible for moving the cursor in Maps without any input at all.

Making a playlist in Music Player on N80

Is there any easier way of doing it? It will not allow me to "mark several" which means I need to highlight each track and choose: Options > Mark/Unmark > Mark.
Coupled with the fact that it brings up a box that displays only two tracks at a time and a huge, pointless icon next to it.
I have a 1GB memory card crammed with music and it can take ten minutes to create a playlist using this slow and tedious method! Surely a better way of doing it would have been to just bring up a page with a list and allow you to press the left soft key to mark the track?
Nokia N80 - v4.0623.0.41

Not sure if you think this is a huge improvement, but try this:
Open music player
Select libary > all tracks
Use the joystick (center keys) to navigate up/down the track list and mark tracks using the pencil icon to the left of the joystick. If tracks have a little tick mark the are marked.
Once your selection is made then
Select > Add to playlist > stored or new playlist.
In general I find the selection a bit tricky and it works best of you are selecting several tracks close to each other in the listing.
Does this work for you?

N97 V2 music player has more bugs than a hundred y...

My problem is back!
This is what I have done in the past hour.
Exported my contacts to vcf onto memory card. Removed the card.
*#7370# - hard reset
Went through all that... Then remembered I hadn't wiped mass storage.
Wiped mass storage (Which it kept complaining it couldn't do until I removed all the default active apps on the front screen). After removing them it eventually formatted it
*#7370# - hard reset
Let it get settled...
Connected to USB, did a firmware update check. 2.00.19, no update available. Disconnected USB.
Removed all the front screen **bleep**, added shortcut 2, put my normal shortcuts onto it.
Added my wifi destination
Opened the browser, went to google.co.uk via my wifi, added that as bookmark
Put the memory card back in (there are no apps on it, I never got round to using it for anything).
Imported my contacts back from the memory card.
Went into music player, zero tracks shown. Good.
Connected USB, started Nokia Music PC application (latest version, had checked). Right clicked on one album 13 tracks.
Let it send them over to the N97.
Disconnected phone. Started N97's music player. It says music library corrupt, scanning... Says 13 tracks found.
Artists shows one artist, 13 tracks. Albums shows 1 album. All looks good.
Go into the album, pick on a track, starts playing.
Volume control does nothing. Touch volume control does nothing. Headset remote control, volume, forward and reverse do nothing. Touch screen pause/play forward and reverse do work, but there is no way to control volume.
I've screwed up this music player app before the Nokia system has even got round to sending me the Welcome text message (which I have seen too many times!).
Okay, I'm going to write the next bit line by line as I do it... So bear with me... It's step by step. You never know, it might help anyone that gives a damn (Nokia hopefully), fix it!
*#7780# - soft reset
Front screen now just shows shortcuts1 and 2, but the shortcuts themselves have switched back to Nokia's defaults.
Music player volume now works!
Connect to USB, send another mp3 album. PC app says (and shows on the %age bar) transferring 5 tracks. Album has 18. Nokia Music system tray icon says complete after 5, but the little arrows shows things are still being transferred. Waited for them to finish. Click the N97 icon and it's showing both albums, with all 18 tracks the second one really does have.
Disconnect USB
Go into Music library on N97, no auto refresh message. Showing only the original album with 13 tracks.
"Options\refresh library" nothing shows as scanning, just appear straight back at the artist,album,playlist option screen. Albums still shows just the first one.
Option\music library details says 13 tracks
Playback and volume still work.
Using the file manager, mass storage, music there's my 2nd artist, the album, and all the mp3 files. I can click them and play them. Volume still works.
Select original (found) album, select delete. Everything shows 0, even though 2nd album is there in the mass memory, file mgr shows it. First artist and albums folders are still there, but empty (Nice house keeping Nokia).
Reconnect USB, Nokia Music just shows the "invisible" 2nd album, and will play it.
Pick a 3rd album of 11 tracks... Send that to N97.. No progress bar or anything shown, just wait for the arrows to stop flashing and then confirm N97 is showing two albums (the invisible on and new one) on the PC app.
Disconnect USB.
Back on the N97... Apps, Music.. Says Music Library 11 songs (that's the 3rd album)... Go into it..
Albums (no songs)
All songs (no songs)
Artists: The artist from 3rd album is shown... 11 songs!
Click it... Shows the album name, 11 songs.
Click the album, and click the first track to play it... Long delay of a few seconds...
Starts playing... Volume not working again!
Try refresh library... again, nothing, no progress bar...
No change, no volume control.
Now here's the really weird bit... If I go and find the mp3 file on the mass storage, and play it from there, volume control works! Come back through the music play app, play the same track, volume won't work.
*#7780# - soft reset
Welcome message, yeah yeah... Ooooh, very fast confirmation text message...
Apps, Music, Music Library (11 songs), go into that, click Albums.... "Cannot perform whilst USB connected" **bleep**?I disconnected that ages ago when i said I did. After that every attempt to go into Albums dumps me back to the Music app showing "Last player - blank" "Music Library 11" etc etc...
Exit all the way out and try to go back in...Artists does the "USB connected" error. Albums just dumps me out. Playlists says "File corrupt". All songs say "(no songs)". Podcasts and Genres say "USB connected", composers "General system error" and after that I get a couple of other system errors from other options and then it just dumps me back out.
*#7780# - soft reset
Ovi welcome... blah blah...
Apps, music, music library (11 songs), go into it, option\refresh... Ooooh, something happens, a progress bar! 18 files added! That's 3rd album...
Albums show both... Artists show both
Pick one for playback... Volume control is back!
Right... Time to try a different tack...
Connect USB, mass storage mode this time (all previous attempts have been PC suite mode).
Create a now folder in music for the artist name (as stored in ID3 tag), create subfolder in that for the Album name (as stored in ID3). Copy mp3 files.
Eject USB device, wait for windows to confirm... It does.
Disconnect USB cable.
App\music\Music Library (29 songs - Thats the two previous albums). Go into it, previous tracks shown, playback/volume okay.
Refresh library works again... Now 3 albums, volume works.
Back to USB (mass storage mode).
This time deliberately doing the storage structure wrong... \music\albumname\mp3s (normally \music\artist\albumname\mp3s).
Music library still showing the 48 tracks from the first 3 albums... Seems to open a bit slower... Still works though.
Refresh library... 13 files added...
4 albums... All working...
Looking with file mgr from badly arranged folder is still as I made it... I guess the Nokia Music PC app creates the tree format, and the N97 doesn't actually need it.
Okay, proof of pudding test...
Connect via USB (mass storage).
Delete the album I created with the mangled folder structure.
Copy 20 folders of mp3 albums across using just windows file manager to the mass storage drive's music folder.
Eject USB storage device from windows....
Oh... Up until now I was almost certain I would be able to use N97 as an MP3 player as long as I avoided the Nokia Music PC app...
Apps\Music\music library shows 61 songs, which is what it had...
Go into it, click albums and I'm getting the USB device connected message. It's not, and the icon isn't even showing on the phone, so I can't go into the player to see if volume works.
Refresh isn't displaying anything, or doing anything I can see. Playlists say the file is corrupt...
*#7780# - Soft reset
Apps\Music\music library (61 songs).. go in, "Repairing corrupted library. Searching for music and podcasts"
After a little while... 2 hundred and something found...
Yup, all there...
Guess what...
Volume control is screwed again!
Manually telling it to scan for new tracks doesn't do anything.
*#7780# - Soft reset
Apps\Music\music library (276 songs)... Go in "Repairing corrupted library....."
2 seconds later "Search complete 0 file(s) added"
All albums there, still no volume control.
Okay, that enough... No more...
Hopefully that is enough to give Nokia a clue as to what is wrong, and may I just make a slight suggestion.
TEST WITH MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN TRACKS YOU **^(*&)(*)(*(*£$%^*(#!
I'm off to buy a 7lb club hammer.

Last night I had a thought...
I wondered if the N97's Music player was getting upset when scanning my music because I had the jpg of the album cover in the folder with it (I tend to do that). As I hadn't bothered reloading any music since my last hard reset I thought I would give it a try.
I removed all non-mp3 files from my music folders.
Connected N97 in PC Suite mode
Started Nokia Music PC app and transferred one album. Let it finish, closed the PC Nokia Music app, gave it a few seconds to settle, disconnected the N97 and had a look.
It appeared in the music player and worked.
Ooooh, right, in for a penny, in for a pound as they say... I connected it back up and sent over another 6 albums. Again closed the Nokia Music app... Waited a few seconds and disconnected the N97.
Went and had a look... "Library corrupt, scanning.... blah blah"... Oh dear, here we go again. But no, a progress bar actually appeared, and after a minute it said "0 file(s) added", but they were all there. All the album art appeared (I'd already embedded that in the mp3 files days ago). All the albums, all the music.
They played, and the volume worked!
Yay! Thinks me... Solved... And goes to bed a happy man.
I set my alarm (on the phone) for the morning and turn the phone off so nobody can phone me before my alarm (which really screws up my sleep!).
This morning the alarm goes off.
I hit stop. It asks if I want to turn the phone on, I say yes.
It asks for my lock code (which I have enabled). I enter it. It says code correct.
Flash of white on the screen... and it asks for my lock code again, which I enter... It says correct again.
This time I get the Nokia tune.
It comes up to the normal front screen, jumps itself onto the application screen, throws up a system error and reboots.
It comes back up (without asking for a pin) and this time settles at the front screen looking for all the world like a working phone... A text message arrives to prove at least that's working.
Hmmm... I wonder about my music...
Well it's all there... But guess what... Volume control doesn't work again!
Oh and clicking "Podcasts", of which I have zero, still produces, and has always produced (even straight after a hard reset), the message "Out of memory, please remove something"... Pressing it again produces "System Error". After that nothing in the Music Library menu works, all produce "System Error". You have to close it and restart to get anything in Music Library to "work".
I wouldn't say I am short of memory. DeviceInfo (from moubail.com) Shows
C: 32.68 MB free
E: 30116.46 MB free
F: (8Gig card) 7120.86 MB free

I keep my C: drive clear of everything. Even my text message storage has been switched to E: (not that I have may since all the hard/soft reboots. Most of them are the "Welcome to nokia" message. Anything that gives me the option to install to another "drive" gets put onto E:
I haven't installed any of the 3 files offered in since the hard reset "SW Update", N-Gage, Nokia Messaging or Ovi Contacts.

I want to make iTunes my default music player + P.S.

RE: music &/or video playing on my iMac
What is the path that I must take to find out where to set iTunes as the default music/video player? I believe that I have QuickTime at this point, but have learned that for the music player, iTunes is the preferred application. One can import, organize, browse, plan, and burn all in the same application. So.... I am going to change over but need to know where it is. I know it is in System Preferences but can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thank you.
P.S.: I now have music automatically starting and looping on a page in my website. I am going to add more music to my pages, too.

Hi Lorna...
Still up, huh? Me too.
.......... Lorna says ................................................
I was up late last night, though not as late as the time I went to bed at 6 AM. And then woke up at 9 AM.
I don't think you need to do anything really to have
iTunes handle your audio files. Keep in mind that in
general, iTunes=audio, and QuickTime player=video.
I believe that OS X is already set up along these
lines and the appropriate application will open up
according to file types and file extensions....
.......... Lorna says ................................................
But James every now and again I deal with some sort of programlet or another, and it asks me whether or not I want to have THAT program as my default handler of (whatever). In the past (but probably prior to Tiger) I have accepted the idea because it seemed sane and probably appropriate. I know that in the past, it was a matter of choice between iTunes and QuickTime.
This
is not to say, though, that the occasional podcast
or ITMS video file can't be played in iTunes and
that QuickTime player can't also open up audio
files.
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Aha. My podcasts come in thru iTunes. That is how I accidentally discovered (the other night) that I had probably clicked onto someone's podcast icon. It had lovely music on it.
Ultimately, everything is part of the same
thing. That's what is so easy about using
Macs...things just work.
So no worries, Lorna.... I have added some audio to
my website, too....dedicated to you, Lorna... It's
just baby sounds, but hey...it's SOUND!
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Those sounds are very sweet. Baby squeals are always heart tuggers. Innocent, vulnerable creatures always have a straight path to the heart, and thus so do the little creature sounds that they make.
I am soon going to work on my second song for another page. As you know, I began it last night.
(The only semi-nightmare scenario I see is me not being too acquainted with the html page, and maybe sneezing and my mouse erases data on the page and everything on that page gets wiped out. I am a little bit (a lot) afraid of messing up changing the html on the new page. 8-( 8-( 8-( And Apnewbie is somewhere in the mountains with his son. HahahahahahaHAHAHA!

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.

Music Player on Lumia 820

Wonder if you can help me,
Basically, I was wondering if there was any way to skip through songs rather than only being aple to pause them? For example, if I wanted to rewind a little bit or skip to a part I liked etc.
I've tried holding down the skip keys but this doesn't seem to do anything, and if I try to swipe along the bar at the bottom showing how far through the current track I am, it just skips to the next one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes it is quite fast within the stock Xbox Music player in Windows Phone 8. As Jimmy has said, just press and hold the next track button and it will fast forward the song. It is proportionate to the length of time you hold the button, so the longer you hold down the button, the faster the track will fast forward. Don't do it for a few seconds, you'll be at the next track by then!
Took me a while to find things myself. What's not stated in the user guide is that to bring up the list of tracks within an album (while playing a song), tap on the area just above the three dots (...) on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. To get back to the list of albums for the artist you are listening to, tap on the artist name while you are playing a track.
Don't know why they don't mark an option on the screen or tell you this stuff in the manual but its there mate.....

Why is music player on ipod frozen? The apps work OK...

My Ipod music player opens, but I can't access any controls. It is stuck either on the top of the alphabetical song list or on the last song I played. The little 'working' turning-circle icon just keeps working. However, I can return to the main menu and all of my apps work. I do have online access and when attached to my computer, I can force the sync, but nothing changes. Diagnostic checked out as well. Does anyone have an easy fix?

Hey Michata, have you tried turning your iPod off then back on? Or a soft reset, press and hold the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds, then release both buttons. Or a hard reset, go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If problem continues, connect to your computer, make backup copies of all your stuff on the iPod to your computer first, then Restore from Backup, last resort Restore to New. If a full restore does not resolve, Contact your Apple store or the Apple Genius Bar set up appointment and have your iPod evaluated for possible hardware issue. Good luck. Cheers.

Go to Solution.

You can't rollback to previous firmware, though you don't meant it, you can look for some third party music players which does work in the way you want, if can't live without it get assistance from google.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.
