Music Player on the N81

Is there a way to stop or cancel the autostart for the the Music Player on the N81? For the most part I do not use it often and to have it running taking CPU cycles as well as RAM is a waste in my opinion.
I looked in the manual but maybe I missed something.
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure. As you know, any device even in idle uses CPU cycles and RAM. I was just wondering how much. Before I upgraded my phone I had about 10 megs free, now after the upgrade, I have about 7.5 free. Some went somewhere. Anyway, I do like this phone better than my iPhone. My unlocked iPhone just sits in its cradle waiting for me to watch a vid or something. I think the new Nokia media phones will give Apple something to think about.

Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external hard drive while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?

There is no setting in the iPhone to set another default music player. The default is Music. If you are using another application, you are at the mercy of how that application operates as far as what occurs when it stops or errors out. The car is looking for music to play.

Is it possible to install a different music player on the iPod

I wonder if the music player on the iPod can be replaced?
I am an cyckling instructor and use the iPod to play music in my classes.
I would very much like to have the following possibilites -in landscape mode- without having to touch the iPod (all information in the same view):
-name of the song
-how long is a song in minutes and seconds
-how much has been played of the song in minutes and seconds
-how much is left of the song in minutes and seconds
-what is the name of the next song in the playlist
-larger letters and numbers. difficult to see when I'm sitting on the bike with the iPod one metres from me. (Cyckling in the gym).
Can this be done?
Can one suggest Apple to do a thing like this or can a player be developed by independent developers?
Regards Julenissen

correct me if i'm wrong but cant you get that information in portrait mode, by tapping the screen?
there is no way to make the text bigger though.
but if you want a different music player, buy a different music player. i can't see apple wanting to allow 'different' players on their products. they may consider different feature requests though.

Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

Hey Kirby17,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,
Mario

I'm looking for a music player with the following features:

Hi everyone,
I'm setting up a linux desktop for the first time. I'd like some directions on finding a music player. Here are my criteria, in order of importance:
- Can play (at least) ogg, mp3 and wav
- Prefers a 'playlist approach' (m3u) to a 'media library' approach
- Can play songs without breaks in-between
- Fast startup
- Simple interface (ex. VLC beats mplayer)
My window manager is pekwm. This is for usability reasons, not performance reasons - my comp. can handle all the bells and whistles you throw at it (actually, I tried with my doorbell, but I wouldn't recommend with the church bell). (sorry for the bad humour). Crazy visualisations and features whose sole purposes are to eat up CPU cycles are O.K.
Good support for keyboard would be appreciated - I am a pekwm user.
So what have you got?

MPD rocks, runs here for months without major problems.
The client side is very flexible, you can choose many players:

For X, for console, etc..
Edit:
MPD supports Icecast also, to create streams.

Anyone else having trouble with the music player with the iOS 5 upgrade?

When I play music on shuffle some songs won't play on my phone. I'm guessing it's some kinda bug. just wondering if anyone else has had this problem since upgrading to iOS 5

Hi John,
Some of us were actually having major issues after the IOS 5 upgrade without music. Here is one solution.
Altered from original solution from Emily P:
Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Sync
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

I always need to see the time counter on the music player, is that possible?

As a spinning instructor I need to see the time counter on the music player all the time. Now it dissepears after a short time and I need to touch it to see it again and that is not good! I also wish that it was bigger numbers on the counter so I easy can see how long time it's lest on the songs.
Ideas anyone?

By default the screen display will dim in about 20 seconds to conserve the battery. And I cannot find any setting to inhibit this function. I am afraid there is no way you can keep the screen bright and enlarge the numbers on the timer.

Ineed a music player for E51 that remembers the tr...

Hi.
I like my E51 apart from a few things.
One of the worst is that the music player will not remember the track position when you exit like every other MP3 player in the world.
Is there a 3rd party application I can use as a player that will remember the track position or is there a work around for the Nokia Music Player?
I've seen a few symbian music player and the cost is minimal compared to the hassle of having to scan 45 minutes through a mix because the damn phone won't keep the position.
TIA.

I almost bought the E51 but in the end opted for the N78, and had the same problem you have. Music player forgets where it is in long mixes, audio books etc if you turn the phone or player off.
For the nseries the quick work around is to turn the file into a podcast, you do this by selecting the track, click options, song details, then set Library to Podcast.
Don't know if it'll work on the e51 but it is the same symbian version so I think it should.

Turn off landscape mode on the music player

Hello,
Is there away to keep the music player on the iphone from switching to landscape mode? The slightest movement switches it to landscape mode and I can't see the progress bar. (important for my mp3s which are several hours).
I've been all over the settings, so i'm assuming I can't, but I'd thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

Sorry, you can't disable landscape mode. You can send feedback to Apple here... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Do this :

The music player on control center on ipad2

Since I updated my ipad2 , i have gotten hang of most of the new functions , but then I am having some issue with the music player on the control centre , there Is the play button and next there. But then i can't play music when I press play, then even after I open the music app and play from there,it's playing , but I cannot next on the control centre also , in IOS 6 , I could just start from the control centre by pressing play without opening the music app , is it the IOS 7 issue or it's my iPad not working ? The rest is all fine but . Can someone help please .

yeah even i am facing the same issue. The sound works for some time and the moment i get happy that the issue is solved, the bingo no sound.
Its really frustrating i have to say and also i have noticed the over all volume of the ring tones has come down.

Music player keeps on forgetting my place within the file

I have several large files in my music library that I listen to. If I pause the play and come back to it after a few hours the player has "forgotten" at which point I paused it and gone back to the beginning of the file. Is there some way of getting around this? Maybe some setting that I have to choose to get it to keep it's place?

This is a normal case with the phone
on firmware 3.08 you often get General System Error
on firmware 3.26 you would get an never ending Searching for Music
on firmware 4.13 you would freeze up your music playing by using the original head set after playing 2-5 tracks
I have to add that the music player is the major flaw in this phone with its series of bugs. It has issues when updating library after adding new songs too, in addition to its low sound production.
I have tried the phone soft reset but this is never a permanent solution
The phone is a good phone still but Nokia seems to neglect its users.

N8: Getting Really Sick of Music Player and Photo ...

Both Music Player and the Photo Gallery look at the entire device - main memory, mass memory, SD card, everything. This is an ENORMOUS pain. Is there some way I can change this, even if it means using 3rd party software?
1. Music player looks at all audio files on your entire device, so if I hit play all on shuffle, I get all the sound effects for games that have their sounds stored as WAV or whatever data, I get any sound files from projects that I am working on that I've put on my phone to transfer them elsewhere (effectively using my phone as a memory stick - very useful). This is really annoying. Can I just tell the music player to just look in my Music folder and no where else?!?
2. Photo Gallery does the same with images. All my contact photos I download using Face Contacts appear in my gallery. Same with games that use standard image files. All music cover art files appear in here. I just want it to only show what's under my Images folder!
Help! It's driving me bl**dy mad!

It looks like N8 default music player will scan all the audio files in your device & default photo gallery will scan all the image files in image folder. Hope this help to clear your doubt.

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.
