N8 music player not recognising music file details

I've been using mp3tag to embed album art in the ID3 tags & also fix the album artist so I can copy the files across to my N8 in windows. It all worked fine before but now the music player just sees them as album artist & album unknown, depite this info being correct in the tag files. Any ideas? In fact I've deleted some stuff that was ok & put it back on & since going back it's not been recognised properly.
Any help appreciated
Nokia N8 on Belle

I have been using muscibee to embed tag information into mp3 files on the Nokia.
1) The trick is to use the proper version of the ID tag.
You MUST use ID3v2.3.
The album art can be both embedded into the mp3 files, and/or saved as folder.jpg. Embedding worked for some time, then it was changed to the folder.jpg, if I know well. Now I do both.
Musicbee has also a lot of mp3 tagging function, also auto numbering, freedb info.
2) If you change the tag info in the files, you must remove the files from the phone, refresh the music library (so they get deleted), then copy the files back, and refresh the music library. Otherwise, the old tag info will be present in the database.

  • N73 ME - Music Player Not Recognising Music

    Hi all,
    A slightly strange issue has just started with my N73 ME (Orange, UK, V4.0735.3.0.2) I recently wiped all the music from my 2GB memory card and replaced it using the Nokia PC Suite.
    I have the s/w set up to automatically change everything to .M4A when it copies across. It's always worked perfectly, no problem.
    However, once everything was copied, when I tried to update the music player, it just sits 'Updating' and can't find any music at all.
    The file manager can see it and the Gallery app on the phone can see it all too - you can play individual tracks via both these routes as well.
    The music player however can't find anything on it's own.
    Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get around this?
    Thanks in advance,
    B.

    Are the music tracks in the right folder on the memory card? Music player will only pick up tracks under
    Sounds> Digital sounds
    If they are under Music or any other folder your gallery will see them but Music player will not.
    If the songs are in the correct folder then try performing a reset of the phone as follows and then try again.
    Try doing a hard reset by following the following steps
    1: Back up important data such as contacts, messages etc
    2: Turn off the phone
    3: Hold down the star *, green phone and number (3) key
    4: Turn the phone back on with these keys held in
    5: Wait for the device to start up completely
    Restore back-up and try phone again, if the problem is still noticeable take it to your nearest Nokia Repair Centre

    Regards,

    Do this :
    Go to Media>Music Player>Options>Music Library>Update Library and wait for the action to be finished.
    I assume that you can now play your music files in the music player.
    Enjoy

  • My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think.

    My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think but it is linked as a plug in with chrome and IE.  How can I get my windows to recognise the .swf files to play them.

    The downloaded file is the projector, not an installer; you need to make the file association manually:
    move the downloaded exe file to a location you can remember, e.g. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    right-click on a swf file and select Open with > Choose default program
    navigate to the folder you saved the player and select flashplayer_13_sa.exe

  • Zen mx 16gb player not recognising id3 tags.

    ,zen mx 6gb player not recognising id3 tags.I recently bought a zen mx and so far can not get it to recognise over half of my mp3's id3 tags. All of the files are drm free. All of the unrecognised files will play but get stuck in the unknown artist unknown album catagory on the player. I have tried retagging the files in several diffrent tagging softwares and upgraded my player to the newest firmware and nothing seems to work. I had a creative vision m 30gb before I had this player and it never had this problem. I contacted customer support but they didnt seem to have any idea what an Id3 tag was and offered no relavent advice other then upgrade your firmware witch was upsetting to say the least. If anyone has any idea how to fix this that would be awesome. I feel like I just wasted almost 80 dollars.

    0Re: zen mx 6gb player not recognising id3 tags. It's just aggravating because I used to talk the company up all the time. The older creative zen's where awesome. They played every file that I had with the exclusion of open source formats like ogg witch is understandable because I'm sure that there is not much demand for that.
    I wouldn't be half as upset as I am if I felt like the support people where offering decent suggestions or even an explanation of what may be wrong. I mean are there certain id3 tags that are not recognised? At least try to explain why it may not work to me so that I can fix the problem without having to re-tag every cd that I have purchased since I was fourteen. I don't think I'm going to buy anything from them again until I see that the quality of there products is getting better. Maybe I should write a review on Amazon to warn people away, after all the majority of the music that its having problems with was downloaded from Amazon.com.
    Btw if your haning the same problem as me kid3 is a program that will retag your files to this players satisfaction. Not that helps if you have a large volume of music but its at least something.

  • Elements does not recognise prel file

    I saved a project to DVD (photos with background music) Elements does not recognise "prel" file when trying to reload project. How do i open file in Premiere Elements 10

    Chris (Herbie53)
    There was no Premiere Elements 5 and 6. The version numbers went 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (latest) So you probably use Premiere Elements 4 or maybe 7 on probably Windows 32 bit XP or Vista.
    Case 1. (Here we assume that you have the project.prel file (project) saved to a DVD disc as data disc.)
    Even if you had saved that older Premiere Elements project file (project.prel) along with copies of the media that went into it, it is still questionable whether that old project.prel could be opened in Premiere Elements 12. But, assuming that the media was still connected to it (which it probably is not), you could try by right clicking the project.prel file and selecting Open With Premiere Elements 12. Have you gone that route, and the project would not open or you were greeted by "Where is the file...?" messages.
    Case 2. (Here we assume that, when you were using the the older program, you took the project Timeline to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc...this is not the project.prel file, but an export of it.)
    In this situation, if you put your DVD disc in the burner tray and explored it, you would see two folders, one named OpenDVD and another named VIDEO_TS. This is your best case scenario. If this is the case.....
    a. Put your DVD disc in the burner tray.
    b. Open Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    In Change Settings, set the project preset for either NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen. For now, we will assume NTSC DV Standard. Then, before you exit that area, in the last dialog that you see (new project dialog), make sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
    c. Next, back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer where you will select video files from the VIDEO_TS Folder to bring into the Premiere Elements 12 project. You will have to redo the menu in 12. The video files that you want from the VIDEO_TS Folder typically start with VTS_01_1.VOB and continue in series which can be detailed later.
    Goal right now is to sort through the details so that we are in sync on what you have in order to enable us to be confident about the troubleshooting strategy.
    We will be watching for your comments and results.
    Thanks.

    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.

  • How I can sort music files (audiobook) in music player on iPhone by file name, not by title name?

    I have audiobook of abt.500 files, all titles are the name of the book. iPhone music player does not understand sorting by file names, but by title, hterfore it plays files chaotic. So, how I can sort audiobook files in music player by file name, not by title name?

    I have the same problem.
    I've went through the pains of merging all chapters into one big file for each and every audiobook, so that at least the chapters don't get played in random order. Month and month of work….. In iTunes 12.01. I can now order my audiobooks by title or by author.
    But once they're uploaded to my blo*dy expensive iPhone 6Plus 128 (which I bought especially to have all my music and my audiobooks on one device) my audiobooks are NOT sorted by author, but by Title.
    So, let's say I have 15 books by Ken Follet, they don't appear as Ken Follet > Title of the book but they are sorted alphabetically with all the other titles of other authors.
    iPods where originally designed for music and audiobooks, but each and every version of iOS makes handling your music and especially your audiobooks harder and harder….
    I am very disappointed and after so many years of using apple, I am considering to move on to android devices.

  • Files In Music player Not Shown In English

    I've transferred music files to my 6280 via Nokia Music Manager and when I open them using the music player on my phone, the files are in Japanese not English.
    It's quite strange because when I look at the files individually on my phone they show up in English. The only problem I get is when use the music player.
    Can anybody help me???

    I'm having kinda the same problem when i transfer music through the nokia software all the files work and they show the correct names in the memory card but when played through the music player the names turn into little rectangles, not even symbols
    Can anyone provide a suggestion?

  • Music Manager - Not Recognising Album/Artist

    Hi All,
    This seems to be a bit of a **bleep** - Music Manager is not recognising my Track/Album/Artist titles when I import my music files.
    I keep all my tunes in iTunes. Now, I think probably 90% or above of the world population use iTunes to manage their music files, so I'm assuming Music Manager would have been developed with this in mind and should integrate fully on something as simple as a track/artist/album title tag?
    Or is there something stupid I'm doing - I have a 5500 and run XP, all up to date.
    It's damn annoying to have hundreds of songs on your phone, but when you go jogging/snowboarding/holidays you can't tell which artists you've got on there!
    Any news on this chaps? I really don't want to be individually editing hundreds or thousands of tags - is there an update planned for this? Seems like a big bugbear for what are supposed to be 'media phones'.
    Any news greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Darren.

    Hi,
    What you can do is from your phone songs copy those songs into My collection of Nokia Music Manager, then all your artists details will be displayed if the artist column is checked (ticked) in Customize view in View option of Nokia Music Manager,the songs which are copied in My collection only be displayed... Yeah i too agree this is an akward but this is how it works
