N95 Music Player Search/Scroll Functions - more us...

I don't know if this is a bug, or an incomplete function? If it doesn't exist, I would surely love to see it in the next firmware upgrade (hint: Nokia people, take note!).
When I was viewing "all songs" in my music player, I wanted to search songs in alphabetical order. The search box popped up, but it wasn't working. One possible reason that I thought of was that it is case-sensitive (since all my songs start with a capital, ie. "Damien Rice - Blower's Daughter"). The search function was only in small letters; holding the # key didn't switch it to caps.
Upon experimenting by renaming a song in small letters and also in numbers, i discovered that the search function still didn't work. Is this a bug?
On a side note, I realized that the scroll function in the music player can only scroll downwards from the first item, as opposed to scrolling "up" to the last song. It is a real hassle to scroll to the last song in the list if you have like a hundred songs! Can this be rectified as well?
All these small things make a difference to users like me... as it's really all about user-friendliness.
Any thoughts, any one?

All you need to do is create a playlist and call it what you like, if the music is on your phone music player will find it and you can select individual tracks or albums and add to playlst or create new ! Also you can use Ovi suite to sync/ transfe music to your phoner or create playlists. Personally I just drag and drop music onto my phone that I like and use PlaylistDJ from Ovi store.
Good Luck

  • Stupid N95 music player cannot delete album and ar...

    After added new songs, then refrash, the new albums and artist can shown in the list. But How about I deleted these songs? The albums and artist still in the list that I cannot delete them. A stupid notice, 'feature not supported', is displayed when I want to delete the an albums or artist. How stupid the application design is! Is it a record to remind me what I listened before?
    Also, why the background picture was separated in the now playing window? I means cannot be shown full screen as other screens. My theme is work well in V12 firmware, what problem on V20?
    In fact, I am very disappoint that Nokia rob of the free GPS function in new firmware to chouse more money from customer. Now, a useless music player is pushed to user. What is next?

    There a a number of posts on how to easily solve the problem regarding deleting album/artist folders.
    Odd what you say about the GPS. My GPS is free. The navigation isn't but I can read a map....

  • N95 music player and working with sub folders

    Hi, I use file transfer to move my music from PC to N95 and use folders and sub folders within the music folder.  I cannot see the folders when using the music player.  I need advise how I can transfer my music easily so that I can play music files that are within a folder.  regards.

    Yes. The refresh seems to have no effect on the Podcasts. I even unsubscribed to all my podcasts--which is supposed to also delete the downloaded podcasts as well; did a refresh and the the podcasts are still listed on the mediaplayer.
    Another weird thing is that if the podcast app downloads another podcast, it is added to the list!

  • N95 music player bitrates

    Hi there,
    I've just been loading mp3's onto my N95. The music player only seems to play some of them, even though they all play absolutely fine on my PC.
    It looks like the differential between those that work and those that don't is that the working ones are low bitrate ( 128kbps, 256kbps ) and the ones that are failing are 320kbps.
    Does anyone know if this is an official limitation. The manual says that "Music Player does not nescessarily support ALL versions of a file format".
    Which is a little vague.

    I've checked again. Looks like my latest rips are 384kbps. That is greater than the 320kbps max, which would explain why it's not working too well!

  • N95 music player can't fastforward wav file

    I have a 1.5hour recording in amr format, I can FF to any position no problem, but once I converted it to wav format the music player can no longer do FF, the best I can do is forward 2 minutes, more than that the pointer returns to start once I release the button, the file size is about the same 4M before and after the conversion, any fix to that ?

    Don't know, but any particular reason why you want the file in WAV and not AMR?, why not convert to MP3 or WMA or AAC?
    640K Should be enough for everybody

    Hi, I've got Nokia N95 and when I copy my mp3 songs from pc I cant listen them in music player and I can find that songs just when I changing my ringtone... but when I get mp3 via bluetooth then I can listen in music player also I can listen song if it a .dcf file...

  • [N95] Music player stopped adding mp3s

    It just happened, I normally add mp3s via mass storage and then rescan collection.
    Now I tried to delete "private" folder, reformatting memory card, but music player is not picking up music anymore.
    I don't want to format it again - are there any other solutions?

    Unfortunately, I've tried that. However I don't know how to acces phones "private" folder, it's just one if you use it via usb cable. Maybe bluetooth?
    I did reformat phones memory - it is the only thing that helped (still it is not fun reinstalling everything - backups are not perfect).
    And also I'm using it for work now, I cannot really afford reformatting and setting up frequently

  • N95 Music player freezing issue

    Ok I have tried many a place to find a fix to my issue. When I am playing my music, every now and then it fades out and then in again in a about half of a second frame and the screen freshes from the screensaver to the music player background. It is not a matter of an alert going off, an incoming call or battery life. I just hate it when I am playing the music and it fades like a cheap DJ trying and failing to do a cross over lol.
    Thanks for the read all
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No worries figured out the config that was causing the freezing/crashing.

  • N95 Music Player

    I've noticed this a few times, but its really started to annoy me.
    How come when I have a playlist on my N95 and I set it to shuffle - it doesnt play ALL the songs?
    If I have a playlist with 10 songs it will only play a few and then stop.
    Today I set it to play all my sings but in shuffle. It said at the bottom of the list 10 hours worth of music, but it stopped after about 2.5 hours.
    Is this normal?!

    I've had the same thing, definately seems like a small bug. Bizarrely with mine it only does it sometimes, but it seems that when it reaches the last song in the playlist (as in the one at the bottom) it treats that as if it is the last song to be played regardless of the shuffle feature.
    Haven't managed to overcome it yet, but it's rarely a problem for me to just press play again

  • N95 Music Player Freezes While Refreshing Music Li...

    Hi,
    My N95 Freezes when I select the option: Refresh Music Library. It just tells me how many it has found and it stays that way until I turn off and On the phone!
    I tried removing the memory and putting it back in but still no luck. Its funny how when there is no memory card in, it refreshes it successfully! without freezing!
    I have also tried deleting all media from my memory and copying them back in again.. yet.. not luck.
    It wasnt like this until I updated my firmware to the latest one being: v 12.0.013.
    Is there anything I can do to fix it? Is it normal?
    Thanks ALOT!

    I think Korngear is saying that each folder should only have a maximum of 1000 music files.

    Within the music player on a 5800XM, how can I control the ordering of podcasts when using
    the Podcasts->By Title search option with the music player...??
    What this currently does is orders these is the newest first order, where as if you
    a listening to a radio drama (like me, who listens to the Archers approx twice a week)
    you want these to be in the oldest first order!
    Cheers Tony

    Hi TonyMac,
    I don't know if there's a way, and I am annoyed by this missing feature too.
    I just wanted to advise you against upgrading to firmware v50, as the podcast section of the music player lost important functionality.
    Now browsing podcasts by title is your only option. Gone are shortcuts like "recently added", "never played", "by date" etc. That's very sad, as "recently added" makes so much sense with podcasts!
    I also don't understand why we cannot add podcasts to a playlist. Podcasts are just mp3 files like all other music files.
    I am now looking for a way to downgrade the firmware (or just the music player) to v40. I regret so much having updated!!

  • N95 how to limit what directory the Music Player s...

    Hi. I installed some sofware in E drive (memory card) with some sound files (an IM program). The Music Player managed to find them and added them to the library. But those files are really nudge sounds and not musics.
    So I really prefer it not searching directories other than the one I set to search. I would like to set it to only search "Music" folder if I could.
    Could you help me out? Thanks.

    If you hook up via USB you can change the file attribute to "Hidden", they then don't show in Music Player.  Refresh Music Player after changing them.
    I haven't done it for a while so those instructions are a bit vague, if you search this site or some of the others you'll find more detail.
    I had to do it after I installed "Step Counter" -- it's sounds showed up on Music player.

  • 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

    E: 30116.46 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:

  • 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.

  • Shuffle-function in music player

    I recently bought the N8 and after spending a few days of tagging and downloading album art hours I finally managed to successfully transfer my mp3 library over to the phone with minimal errors occuring.
    However, one thing that gives me a headache is that I just can't figure out how to turn the shuffle playback mode off. There's a button in the music player for turning it ON, but pressing it once again does not appear to de-activate the function, and I can't find a dedicated button for turning it off. Been searching all the menues for this too, but no luck...
    Anyone got an idea how to solve this?

    Select a song using the shuffle icon, then when it is playing select options and a different menu appears, one option of which allows you to select shuffle on or off.
