Music in Ovi Suite

Is there any way to change the artist or other information of songs? Half of the music in my n8 are now with an artist name "unknown" in the music player. Problem is solvable in Windows' file managing but it takes time and I think it should be able to be done it in the Ovi Suite.

I don't think this helps your current your question but i hope it proves useful for the future. I have a C7 and when i used OVI Suite to download music to it, it did not have any images on the albums. I then installed OVI Player and when i downloaded music to the mobile using that program the albums all had their correct images. You might want to try OVI Player and see if it works better for you. I have my mobile less than a week so i am still trying out the programs.

N97 mini: Can't transfer music with ovi suite!

Someone please help! every time i try and transfer music with ovi suite it says "can't read tracks" anyone know how to fix this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Depending on how much time you want to spend, there are a couple of methods. Before putting music on phone, get it up in Windows media player, then drag and drop album art onto the album picture at left hand side of screen. Then right click on a track and select advanced tag editing, and click pictures, the photo you drag and dropped should be there. If you want individual pictures for each track you can add from here ( but you would need to do this on phone also.
On the phone select an album, select options, select album art, select change, pick a picture (the album cover) select ok, ok wait and thats it. You also have album art choice in the options of each individual track, but will need more photo's in gallery to use different ones.
Good Luck
ps Kudos is quite a cheap comodity !

Can't copy music from Ovi suite to my C6

Hello ,
I got a problem with my C6 I downloaded Ovi suite and im trying to get some music on it . When I open the software the music shows up . Then when i want to movie it to my phone , it wont let me it says ''cannot copy music'' and even when i made a playlist it still says the same thing. I can't even synchronize my music because it says the same thing and then it says to re connect but when i do that the same thing happens .I can synchronize everything else but not music .
Is there any one that could help me ?
BTW. I can't connect to anything else because in my computer the folder wont show up. So Pc Suite is the only way I can connect my Nokia to my PC.
I use Vista Service Pack 2
Anyone ??

Simplest way is to connect in madd storage mode instead of pc suite mode via usb and drag and drop, the phone will show as an external hd in 'My Computer' simply open the drive and drag photos from computer to N8, drag and drop is by far the easiest and quickest way to transfer all media to a Symbian phone !

Any solution for this?

Ovi Player / Ovi Suite Music not added to library

Ok more weird Ovi annoyances:
Ovi Music / Player does not add certain songs from my iTunes folders (all Non DRM m4a files) to its library, neither automatically nor does it let me add them manually.
However, if transferred to the handset (N97) manually they will play fine. They also play fine when opened via File|Open in Ovi Suite or Player.
I first noticed it with
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Israel Kamakawiwo'ole\Over the Rainbow - Single\ Over The Rainbow.m4a
Which I cannot add to the library in any way.
Ok, I thought, Ovi trips up on special characters, but
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Von Bondies\Pawn Shoppe Heart\C'mon C'mon.m4a
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Men They Couldn't Hang\How Green is the Valley\The Ghosts of Cable Street.m4a
are both added just fine, while
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Von Bondies\Pawn Shoppe Heart\Not That Social.m4a
can again, not be added in any way.
Al right then, has to be that Ovi trips up over legal Windows path names that are too long for Ovi.
But
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Neon Trees\Animal-Single\Aniimal.m4a
can again not be added in any way while
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark\Messages - Greatest Hits\1-03 Enola Gay (2003 Remaster).m4a
is added just fine.
Sometimes when trying to add an album, only certain titles are not added, while the rest of the album is.
There seems to be no pattern whatsoever to this behavior, since it's not path lengths or special characters tha keep songs from bein added, it's also nit file type related as there some MP3s i can't add as well.
Note that M$ Media Player 11 has no issues adding the same bits to its own library.
I run Win 7 Pro 32.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

It's getting weirder and weirder
E:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Heinz Rudolf Kunze\Die Gunst der Stunde
was successfully imported including the first track
E:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Heinz Rudolf Kunze\Die Gunst der Stunde\01 Hunderttausend Rosen.m4a
on another PC.
So the failures seem completely random, which would not be so tragic if you got a second chance, which you don't.
I'd still like to know what I need to delete to get rid of the entire music library. I just need OVI-Music / Suite to get some of my music to my phone and this should not be so tedious!
Ovi Suite seems to sotre stuff all over the place and you don't really know what's what, which makes fixing problems very frustrating.
iTunes keeps its stuff transparently in the same place, but then again I never had any such weird problems with it in the past 5 years.

Ovi Suite to sync music from Network Drive

Ovi Suite will not allow me to select a Network Drive as the source folder for music - is this just a problem for me, or is this a fetaure of OviSuite ?
Tks

mikewm wrote:
You stated in JANUARY 2010 that this was a much-requested feature, and yet it is STILL NOT incorporated into Ovi Suite. This is absolute rubbish. Many of us have networked media drives and cannot sync them with ovi suite. What century are you guys living in??
I have always copied my music to Nokia phones with file system. Today I tried for the first time in a loong time if Ovi suite is no longer **bleep** and understands this wonderous thing called networking.
It doesn't.
I don't get it, I don't get whats hard about it nor why it is not concidered to be priority problem to be fixed. I guess Microsoft is coming up with the new sync application and development of Ovi is halted?

Ovi suite - 'find music on ovi store'

The 'Find music on OVI store' screen, has only Search function, but doesnt allow the rich browse experience as available in the web site. Is this intentional?
If I click 'Browse all music on Ovi', it takes me to website, but doesnt allow me to download there :-(
So should I always visit the website and browse to see interested albums, come back to the suite and search and download. Is this expected?
Not sure if I'm missing something here.

Hi,
Ovi Suite is really an horrible software. I was unable to exclude files from the music library, and they was already deleted from the file system. I kept trying to delete but nothing happened!!!
I found where the Ovi Suite keeps the its music library database...
With the Ovi Suite closed, go to the folder (in Windows 7):
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase
And rename the file MDataStore.db3 to MDataStore.old.
Open the Ovi Suite and now just adds yor music to the library. It will take some time but will be an updated library. (if you have any music you don't wanna in the library, move it to another folder before this procedure).

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 - Music library problems...

Hello,
Just bought a Nokia E5, looks to be a sweet phone so far...
Only, Ovi Suite is just annoying. Very slow on communicating with the phone (USB connection) and some big problems.
Impossible to delete music from the library ! How is that ?? And also the library takes ages to add a new folder.
Also, not seeing the playlist i've made on the phone ? Either on mass storage connection, in the playlist folder of the phone, nothing... But should be on a other threat.
Hope you can solve the library problem because it's quite annoying.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

@satari
Yeah, alright already!
We get that without you plastering this message over EVERY single thread dealing with issues of that truly useless and pathetic piece of software called Ovi-Suite.
Especially since the new version DOES NOT SOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES AT HAND IN THE THREADS YOU MASS PASTED INTO!
Ovi-Suite 3.x still no longer syncs music, which IMHO is a basic function. Who on earth wants to be forced to manually update the phone playlists and songs whenever songs are added on the PC? That is beyond backwards.
Hello? It's 2011, not 1991.
Ovi Suite 3.x still randomly refuses to add songs to the library on the PC (e.g. it skips several songs from an album folder, yet they play fine when added to the phone manually outside Ovi-Suite), an issue that can only be corrected by deleting the entire library on the PC and recreating it. A "repair library" function is notoriously absent.
I'd like a so called Smartphone to make tasks easier and more comfortable instead of harder.
Newer Nokia handsets may be slightly less bad, but the N97 with Ovi-Suite is still the smartphone/desktop combo from hell.
The fruit phone/ITunes combo is sadly restricted by the greed and desire to control everything of Apple, but at least the products work reliably and consistently for the most part. The same is true for 'Droid devices.

OVi Suite 2.0 problem - Watching Photos/Music usin...

Hi,
I have a problem trying to create watch folders for my OVI Suite.
I'm trying to add watch folders for my photos and music (all which are in an external HDD) and whenever i try and select a folder from my external HDD it won't let me click on 'OK'.
I'm trying to get my music and audio synced into my Nokia N97 (with Firmware v1.2). But i am sure that is not an issue, as i tried doing this with the phone unplugged.
So does anyone have any ideas why it's not lettigin me add watch folders from my external HDD?
I have OVI Suite v2.0.1.35 on Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

Hi,
Yes, unfortunately this is functionality. In the short term I can have the design changed so that you will get instructions or a message of some kind explaining the situation, but the actual problem cannot be fixed that quickly.
Cheers,

Well, it's been over a year and it doesn't look it's been changed (and no instructions or message, either, that I could see). Anyone have an update on this? My music folder is over 12 gb and I had ot move it off to an external hard drive because my computer was nearly out of room.

OVi Suite 2.0.2.42 Syncing Music Problem N97

Hi,
I have tried to sync the music from my system to my N97 handset using OVi Suite (OVi is runnning on Windows 7) and the sync process was successful but I'm facing problem in finding the song files now in Nokia N97.
I have choosen the Mass memory for the sync path, but I'm unable to provide a path say (E:/my_music). It takes default path of E:/Music. Is there any way to change this path from Music to some other path.
Under music folder, the song files are copied further under an artist folder. Why OVi suite while syncing categorizes the music files on artist basis. I don't have that artist folder in my hard drive. Why its not maintaning the same folder structure as its on my hard drive. Is there any way to achieve this.
Thanks,
nazz

I still like PC Suite as it treats the file as data files and maintains the folder structur unlike Ovi. Only problem which I have seen with PC suite is that it does not allow you to create multiple watch points.

E51 can not copy music to device with Ovi Suite

I have music files on my computer and I'm trying to copy them to my phone using Ovi Suite.
According to Ovi Suite's instructions, to do this manually I have to choose the music file and select Tools - Copy to device. But this option can not be chosen after selecting a music file (it stays gray) Why is that?
The E51 should have enough memory left for the music, but it does not have a memory card. Is that the problem?

Hi Seimussier,
Yes you are right, you cant copy music files to the phone memory through the OVi suite. It need a memory card for that purpose.
In case if you want an alternative you can go through your explorer, open your device memory and paste your music files.
Once you finish transfering your music files, disconnect your device, open your music player and update your Music library. Now you should be able to see your music files.
Note: Through this method you can only transfer your music files, but cant convert the same in case if it is not supported by the phone

Ovi suite cannot access music

Hi,
I accidentally aborted a music file transfer from PC to phone N5800 by computer shutdown.
Now when I start Nokia Ovi Suite, it seems not to have access to the music folder on my phone. Everything else works, but it shows 0 music files on my phone, although there are plenty on it. Also, when I try to synchronize music, I get the error message "files cannot be transferred" (translated from German) for each play list in the Ovi Suite. So obviously, it can neither read nor write music.
I tried to reinstall the operating system on my phone, and to reinstall and update Ovi Suite. Both was unsuccessful.
I would use Nokia Ovi Player instead, but that does not connect to the phone (neither in PC Suite nor in media transfer mode). It still tells me to connect my phone, switch it to media transfer mode, and press OK, but does not recognize the phone when I do this. And PC Suite has not integrated music manager, as I understand.
I can copy the files one by one in "file transfer mode", but then they are not linked with the phone's music player, and it is far from comfortable.
I would be either happy with a working Ovi Suite or Ovi Player
Phone: Nokia 5800 XPressMusic, softwareversion 40.0.005.C02.01
PC: Win XP
Nokia Ovi Suite: 2.0.2.42
Nokia Ovi Player: 2.0.1106.00

Thank you.

This enables me to use the mass storage mode to add music, so it is a bit better now. Thank you very much!
However, I still cannot use Ovi Suite or Ovi Player. The problems stay the same.

Ovi Suite doesn't see music on SD card + Won't use...

I seem to have to problems with Ovi Suite - Or is it just me?
(1) Ovi Suite can't see any of my music which is on my 32 gig SD Memory Card (the obvious place for it). My N8 doesn't have any trouble seeing it!
(2) Ovi Suite won't let me nominate my music library location, because it isn't on the C drive.
Effectively, I can't use Ovi Suite for my music for these 2 reasons - Currently I'm using drag & drop to load music onto the N8
Thanks

Hi Brett
Things have moved on today.
I have a long conversation with Canon and finally got the images off my camera by connecting it directly to my iMac and using Canon's EOS Utility to download the images. The EOS Utility saw both yesterdays images and the ones taken last Saturday.
I have to say it took several attempts to finally get all the images off the card and a similar number of attempts to get Lightroom to import them - but it has been achieved.
Interestingly the chap at Canon said that they (Canon) believe there is a problem with Lightroom's Library (not quite sure how I go about proving that). Anyway I have tried formatting the offending SD Card and none of the images are deleted which leads me to suspect, as you do that it might be a faulty SD card.
All the relevent serial numbers, invoice and photographs have been sent to Sandisk and I await their reply. Thankfully I purchased the card through Amazon UK who are the official retailer for Sandisk, so hopefully I should get my card replaced IF it is found to be faulty.
