N80 Media player exclamation mark flaw

Hello everyone,
Just found a bug in the built-in media player (or media library, I think it's a part of the player): when the filename includes an exclamation mark (!) the media library refuses to read the ID3 tag (or whatever tag the AAC and M4A files have) and places the song in the Unknown [artist|album|style|etc.] sections of the library. Removing the exclamation mark fixes the problem.
I'm using the latest version of the firmware (5.0719.0.2). This problem exists since the 4.x versions.
It's not such a big flaw but it's kinda annoying, took me some time to find out what caused this, even made me format my card...
Anyway, I'm posting it so that I save someone some trouble.
And, of course, a fix in the next version of the firmware (if any) would be great.
Greets,

Help needed with N80 media player problem

Hi,
My other half owns a N80 and he deleted something on his phone and now when he goes into media player it says there are no tracks. All the songs are in his track library but you have to manually select which songs to play instead of playing them all.
Is there a way of getting the media player to find the songs?
Thanks, Carrie.

All songs got exclamation marks next to them after organizing media folder and consolidating

I don't know what to do anymore. After hours of moving things around in my media folder with all my songs in it and then consolidating (which is what I thought I was supposed to do, nearly all of my songs now have "!" marks next to them and I fear that I lost all my music.
Does anybody have any idea what I can do?

Hi there, moving your files about manually tends to get iTunes confused. I have written some scripts which have previously had some success in finding things for some people, while being no help for others. It all depends on how disimilar the structure you've created is from the standard one.
Coincidentally I've been revisiting this topic today and I've uploaded a new script called FindTracks which I'm hoping may do a better job than my previous script for the task. Currently it can make a good stab at finding tracks in both the "new" (iTunes 9 or later) or "old" layouts of the media media folder, misfiled as a compilation or vice-versa, with or without track or disc numbers and when the folder names may have been truncated. I've also got ideas to extend it with a fuzzy matching mechanism to cope better if/when files have been reoganised by say Windows Media Player which generally uses longer file & folder names and has different substitution rules for characters that can't be used in file & folder names.
If you're interested in the script, download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Yse the No option to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix until you're sure it behaves as you want it to. If it can't find your tracks I'd be grateful if you can give me some an example locations so I can tweak up the script to make it work better.

Media Player with FF for the N80

I found a bunch of Media Players that support Fast Forward and Reverse for Symbian, but none for the 3rd edition, ie: compatible with the N80. Anyone had better luck?Message Edited by patc on 21-Jul-2006

OK, I'm an eejit: just discovered that on the regular Media Player, the 6 and 4 keys do FF/RW respectively.
Duh!

My itunes library has exclamation marks on the whole of my music collection I have to upload my CD's again! does anyone know why and what can I do?

Help, my itunes library has exclamation marks and will not play. Do I have to reload my cd's?

What do you mean by what audio/video formats are involved? These are all files from several digital cameras.
As previously stated, AVI is a file container. It is somewhat old and its originator, Microsoft, dropped official support of it over a decade ago. However, it remains popular with PC users since almost any valid audio and/or video compression format can be stuffed to the file which synchronizes the content by interleaving the individual audio and video frames. The compression format is the specific manner in which the audio and video data are encoded as it is placed in the AVI container. You can find the compression format by inspecting the file in the Finder "Info" window, or in the "Inspector" window of the QT player (or other media player) if the file can be opened.
For instance, one popular compression combination would be to place DivX encoded video and MP3 audio in an AVI file container. However, neither DivX nor MP3 is natively supported by the QT player. (Although iTunes will natively support the MP3 audio.) Therefore, people who wish to play such files in the QT 7 Player would normally install either the DivX component or Perian but not both. Either installation will independently play such files in the QT Player, but if both are installed, the file will usually stop working since these two codecs can create a playback conflict.
However, the AVI container could just as easily contain DV along with DV audio. In this case, the file should play correctly in QT since this compression format is natively supported by the basic component configuration that comes in every current OS installation. Therefore, if such files suddenly stopped playing, this could be an indication that a component has been moved or deleted or that your system or QT embedded structure has become corrupted.

How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

Ah, did you move your media files by hand? Often doing so will have broken the links from iTunes to them.
The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with itunes on a Windows 7 laptop. When I go back to my music there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I have reinstalled iTunes

I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes on my Windows 7 Samsung laptop. I recently backed up all of my data using Samsung Recovery Solution 5 to an external hard drive so that I could restore my laptop. I put all of my data back on the restored laptop and reinstalled iTunes. After the error message that says that certain items could not be found and the "sync" is finished I go back to my music in iTunes and there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I follow some instructions regarding the Edit - Preferences - Advanced settings and the exclamation marks go away until I try to sync my phone again. Then I get the same error message and the exclamation marks return. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same thing happens again. I am about to schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar but would like to avoid that if possible. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello Courtney,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone. It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device. I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

Multimedia Audio contrlloler is not installed properly due to an exclamation mark in front of it.

Hi,
I have a Windows XP SP3(32Bit) installed on a Desktop Computer with a PIII processor, and 512MB of RAM.
My Desktop Computer with P 4 doesn't have any access internet since there is no network adapter installed. As a result, I would not be able to run the Intel Audio Card Reader a web-based applet that identifies my Audio Card and finds the latest audio
driver for my Audio adapter.
I have Multimedia Audio contrlloler driver installed improperly since an exclamation mark is shown in front of it in the device manager.
This is Hardware ID (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24D5&SUBSYS_97611849&REV_02).
I have tried to download the driver from
here:
However, I don't know which one of them I should download since there are
quite a lot of them, and there aren't classified as to 32-Bit, and 64-Bit versions of Windows Systems.
Thus, could you please help me to decied which one I could choose.

Hi,
It seems to be a soundMAX card in which case this file should work for you - http://www.mediafire.com/download/lo5nyw2utm2/SoundMAX_Audio_V510X6480_XP.zip
** Note, this file has not been tested by me personally - Please ensure you scan with AV post and prior extracting the ZIP, If it does not look right, do not install **
Its next to impossible to find vendor sites with the original drivers for this age of hardware.
Regards,
M
If you find my information useful, please rate it. :-)
Thanks a lot,
Martin G. Evans.
According to the screen shots above, the Hardware ID is: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24D5..
The vendor ID of Multimedia Audio Controller is 8086 and the device ID is
24D5.
I WAS EXPECTING THAT KNOWING THE VENDOR ID AND THE DEVICE ID WILL LET ME QUICKLY FIND THE APPROPRIATE DRIVER. HOWEVER, NEITHER YOU, NOE ME FOUND THE APPROPRIATE DRIVER.
I don't think that driver given is the appropriate driver since
I have tried downloading, and installing a soundMAX card driver. However, I found these things:
I have checked the other Windows XP SP2(32Bit) which is oder installed, and it seems it infected by some viruses.
However, the Multimedia Audio is installed well. As here:

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra stops working with XP following Windows Media Player 11 Beta Installat

Yesterday I was very pleased to find that my Creative Zen Xtra (model DAP-HD00) portable media player is a PlaysForSure capable device. Creative Labs, on November 9, 2005, released the Creative Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware v2.0.03. I installed this firmware (I had to install the Creative ZenJukebox Driver v.30.03 first to get Windows to recognize the device). Once the firmware was upgraded, Windows began recognizing the Zen Xtra as a MTP device and life was good. I was able to synchronize it with both Napster To Go and Windows Media Player 0.
After this, I went ahead and installed Windows Media Player Beta, which I just downloaded yesterday as well.
From a functional standpoint, WMP seems to run just fine. However, when I connected the Creative Zen Xtra (with its PlaysForSure firmware), Windows redetected the hardware. It first showed "Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra" in the tooltip, followed by "MTP Device" in the new hardware tooltip. Finally, Windows announced that there was a problem installing my new hardware and that it may not work properly.
Sure enough, when I went into Device Manager, my Zen Xtra was showing as an MTP Device with an exclamation point on it. More specifically, it specified the status of, "This device cannot start (Code 0)."
Prior to the installation of Windows Media Player, the Creative Zen Xtra showed in device manager with the following characteristics under the heading "Windows Portable Devices":
Name: NOMAD Jukebox Zen XtraDriver Version: 5.2.0.0 dated 8/30/2004Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.3802.3802 built by dnsrv(bld4act)
Windows Media Player changed this to the following (the device now shows up under "Portable Devices"):
Name: MTP DeviceDriver Version: 5.2.5326.4762 dated 2/22/2006Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.5358.4827 (WMP_.060509-2009)C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\wudfrd.sys - v6.0.5348.0(winmain(wmbla).0604-339)
The file wudfrd.sys is NOT digitally signed in this case.
As of now, my Zen Xtra is completely unusable on this system, and I need to sync it with my laptop for the time being, which still has WMP 0 installed on it.
Is this a bug with WMP beta? Is it a problem with my firmware? Since this is PlaysForSure compliant firmware, and it worked flawlessly with Napster and WMP 0 (before the MTP driver was updated), it would seem to be a WMP beta issue. I'd like to hear more official confirmation on the subject, however.
Some general details about my system are:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2Verified GENUINE Microsoft operating system using Genuine Advantage ValidationIntel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 GHz, Hyper-Threaded processor2.00 GB RAM
Windows Media Player Version: .0.5358.4827Napster Version: 3.6.0.7 (US)
Any recommendations? Fixes? Some have suggested rolling back the WMP installation, but I would like to consider this option only as an absolute last resort.
Best regards,Matt

Ok, this worked out accidentally - but happily
I first installed the driver - not the media source - but the driver for the device.
After that the windows device manager yellow sign disappeared - apparently the device driver was registered by windows.
Then I Installed Mediasource 5 - the installation went thru fine.
Does anyone have any recommended updates to install, please also advise what benefits.
Thanks.

Here is the actual error message. The video card has an updated driver. I can't figure out how to resolve this -
Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card.

Hi,
First of all, if you've recently installed any virtual drive software ( an exmple of this is Daemon Tools ), temporarily uninstall it, restart the notebook and see if this has corrected the error.
If the above doesn't apply, try downloading and installing the free KLite codec pack on the following link.

When the installation has completed, restart the notebook and check again.
Let me know.
