N97 Firmware 2.1 Music Player - Podcast listing

I just updated to 2.1, and within the music player - podcasts, i have lost, Never Played, recently heard, all podcasts and now only have listing by podcast name. liked the prior features, anyone know if this is a bug or "upgrade"?
thanks

I had the same problem with my N97 after fw upgrade and was about to chuck it out the window for good before I found this RE:defective music library:
http://sjc-nokia5800.blogspot.com/
Here's what I did: (same resetting method modified for N97 fw 2.0)
1) Connect your phone to your computer in Mass Storage mode
2) Browse to the following folders and delete ONLY the files inside, NOT THE FOLDERS:
Private/101ffc31, Private/101ffca9 and Private/10281e17
3) Unmount/Disconnect the phone
4) Go to Music Library and N97 should show a "Corrupt Music Library" message and start fixing it automatically.
5) A few minutes later (depending on the size of your music library) it will show "#### New Songs Added" and everything should be back to normal.
Hope this is useful to someone.
My personal 2 cents: I think it's a compatibility bug in music catalog files between fw 1.x and 2.0, and strongly believe Nokia must clean up its act on its symbian flagship.

ITunes is not showing my music or podcast lists today ...

What the heck is going on today?
Last evening iTunes was normal ... music showed in my Playlist and my subscribed Podcasts all showed up as they usually do.
This morning - all gone.
My Podcasts are all showing as Unsubscribed - and subscribing to each one does nothing. The podcast list ends in Dec 2014 - all my recent updates have vanished.
My Music only shows in Album view - Song view is a blank page.
Something strange going on for sure ... which is scary as I have a lot of music and several favourite podcasts that I really don't want to lose or have to re-create.
Anyone else having the same problem?

I don't know how you have managed to achieve this, but you have got yourself into a tangle. The feed you linked to is fine, but iTunes is in fact looking for a feed at
http://soundedgoodonpaper.com/comic/?feed_slug=cbl
and this is not a feed but a web page, and so iTunes can't read it. Consequently the Store is sticking on the cached version of the last time it was able to read the feed, and subscribing does not work.
I have no idea how this has happened, but it leaves you seriously stuck. Your only option is to email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move the Store to using the proper feed URL. Give them the URLs of the Store page and both feeds.

Music player & podcast

hi frenz,
pls help me on this matter, all my music library disappear & cannot save & cannot open the file (in file attachment at memory card). is it virus? i cannot play mp3 & mp4 again. pls help me...

Small update. I made a playlist of the last 20 episodes of The Business. All were downloaded on their original publishing date. Consistently the iPhone will skip the first 19 and play the last one. I think someone at KCRW noticed the problem and fixed it. I wonder what it was? The only difference I noticed was the encoder switched from LAME 3.98 to Unknown, however, that change happened on the 8/31 episode, and that and the next 3 are all skipped until the 9/28 episode.

Can I use the Podcast app like the older iOS 6 Music Player?

I've updated to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1 and found that things seem drastically different.
How i used to do podcasts:
Subscribe to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
Sync to iPhone using a cable
What used to happen:
Podcasts that were selected to sync did if there were unplayed episodes
The Music player would list only those podcasts where there were unplayed episodes
Now things have changed. I immediately was told that none of my podcasts were playable without the Podcast app. I downloaded it and installed it.
What is happening now:
Still subscribing to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
Sync to iPhone using a cable
Podcasts showing unplayed in iTunes on my Mac = 46
Podcasts showing unplayed in the Podcast app = 57 - the difference appears to be that the podcast app is showing non-downloaded podcasts
Podcast app showing all podcasts whether or not there are any to play. The list includes podcasts that are not supposed to sync to my phone.
The Podcast listing appears to be in a random order (actual list shown)-
Apple Keynotes (no episodes)
This week in Photo (8 episodes)
Jake and Amir (no episodes)
Podcast Beyond (no episodes)
Accidental Tech Podcast (no episodes)
Vector (1 episode)
Podcasts with no new episodes now show a new episode though it looks like the episode is not downloaded
I'm not sure why what is being shown in iTunes is not being shown in the Podcast app.
Is there anyway to get the old behavior using the Podcast app?

Additional information. Can this be right?
I spoke to Apple support who said that the settings for podcast syncing in iTunes are no longer being used since Apple moved to their Podcast app.
This may explain why I see all 45 podcasts on my iphone when I only have 15 of them set to sync.
She also said that I would need to manually sync listened/unlistened podcasts between my Mac and my mobile devices since podcasts were no longer being synced from iTunes.
Can anyone verify?

[iPhone SDK] Using audioQueue automatically stops music player.

Hi,
This is a PR I recently submitted.
+Using the audioQueue in an SDK application automatically stops the music player.+
+STEPS TO REPRODUCE+
+On the device :+
+Play a tune in the music application.+
+Launch the LunarLander sample+
RESULTS
+The music is stopped.+
NOTES
+I use the Audio Queue to generate different tones (sin waves) in my program (reacting to touch screen presses).+
+As far as i understood, only the audio queue can let me do that.+
+I want those sound effects to be in parallel to the music, if the user did not choose to stop the music by himself.+
+At least, the stop of the music play should be explicit when using the audio queue SDK (i cannot find a way to do it).+
My PR was closed because it 'Behaves correctly' with the following comment :
+We want people to use AudioSession (to behave better when an incoming call is rejected), so they can set it how they want it.+
+If you look at the AudioSession API <AudioToolbox/AudioServices.h> we recommend setting your category as "ambient" and this will:+
+(1) Mean you can't use formats like MP3 or AAC+
+(2) Means that the iPod will be able to play in the background+
Since i cannot find a way do discuss with the resolver of my PR (other than submitting a new equivalent PR), I hope that someone here will be able to help.
I cannot find any "Audio Session" API that would allow me to feed some sound data (to play a specific sine tone effect) while the user touches the screen.
The only API I can find (other than the ones for Audio Queue and Open-AL) is dedicated to play files (as it is used to play short sound effects).
Moreover, when I look, as suggested, at the <AudioToolbox/AudioServices.h> file, I cannot find anything related to "category" nor "ambient".
Could this be a problem of the current beta ?
Does anyone know a way to generate (on the fly) some sound effect while keeping the (iPod) music played ?

Thank you for the reply. The podcasts i was referring to are audio only. I checked the video app and it is blank.
New information: The last day of podcast downloads that worked properly was 6/13. I was able to find the newer podcast downloads by searching the phone and they will play in the music player when selected in the search results. They still don't show up on the music player's list of podcasts and they won't play sequentially. It's like the music player refuses to acknowledge the existence of any podcast after 6/13.

Changing E6 default music player

Hi
Have installed QuasarMx on my Anna E6 and would like to have as my default music player but when I go to settings|application settings|default applications and try andchange the dafault for playing music only the Nokia Music player is listed.
Any ideas?

Try to install the new music player on your device(C, D) and not on the SD Card.
Then Nokia should 'see' the music player better.
Hope it will work

Droid Incredible Music Player problems

I'm not sure if this has already been resolved here, but my patience has worn very thin trying to fix this darn problem.
So ever since I upgraded to Froyo months ago, my default music player started listing several of my music artists as "Unknown Artist", and some songs it doesn't even display in the music library, despite acknowledging that the songs are sync'd to the device.
A few things to note:
- All my music files are mp3's, and my computer's media player is Windows Media Player.
- Several of the music files that I have are legitimately purchased songs off of CDs that I ripped into WMP.
- However, even more several of these music files I have downloaded from Frostwire, but they all are still mp3's.
- I am not looking to install a different music player on my Incredible. I tried doubleTwist at someone's request before and it did little to nothing in terms of fixing my problem.
- I do not have any music sync'd on my mini-SD card on my phone.
- Sometimes when I sync my music onto the phone, the music player insists on displaying the song/album title/album art/artist info incorrectly despite me already editing all of that info in WMP to be absolutely correct.
- I have tried removing every song off of my Incredible and re-sync'ing it, yet the problem still persists.
- Before I upgraded to Froyo, the only problem my music playe presented was not displaying album art occasionally. Artist info and everything else displayed just fine.
- As I mentioned before with some songs not being displayed at all on the phone even though in WMP they still show up in the list of songs sync'd to the device, the only songs that I have noticed so far that this problem is with are every track off of Metallica's "...And Justice For All" (which I purchased and ripped from via CD) and DMX's "Party Up" (downloaded from Frostwire).
If anyone could give me some help or suggest some solutions to fixing this problem, I would deeply appreciate that. Since I am a very organized person, it irritates me to see my music library in such a mess like this and me not being able to fix it. Also, if speaking about programs like Frostwire is prohibited on these forums then I apologize, but I feel the need to mention that in case that may be part of the problem.

I just went through this with my TB upgrade. With regard to album art, WMP sync is simply not copying the jpegs (^Note1). The good news is that WMP properly organizes your music to enable "syncing" to your device. Here's what to do:
1. Mount your phone as a USB mass storage and open the $removable_drive/Music folder (where $Removable_drive is the drive letter assigned to your phone's USB storage). (^Note 2).
2. Select/Copy folders under "My Music" directory and Paste into "$Removable_drive/Music/" (^Note 3).
^Note 1: The jpegs are stored as hidden system files in a given My Music/$Artist/$Album/ folder but are not getting copied during a WMP sync.
^Note 2: Under "$removable_drive/Music/" you'll notice the same folder hierarchy as in your WMP libraries, e.g. "My Music".
^Note 3: Since the folder hierarchies are the same, you can just drag/drop the file folders into your $removable_drive/Music folder -- this is the way music is intended to be "sync'd" in Android. This copies the hidden system files as well. In my case, I first deleted the folders on my phone, so I didn't have to worry about over-writing files during the paste.

Nokia N96 music player problem

Hi,
I've had my N96 for a while now. The main reason i bought it is my music. I have updated to the latest firmware BUT the music player is still slow as. main problems are:
1) playlists/etc taking ages to load.
2) click on a song to play and the phone just waits then does not play the song and just goes to the end of playlists.
3) i have to play every song by left click --> play --> on device cause of the above problem
4) The worst problem is when the phone is playing a song. if i press back it honestly takes 3 minutes to go back to the playlist. so to avoid that i just press left click exit.
is this related to general slowness of the phone? please tell me how to fix this issue and if its general phone slowness how to fix that too.
oh and can i remove this music player and get another one? like another application to play my music. im seriously getting to the stage where i would like to throw this phone at a brick wall.

Try to do a factory reset by keying *#7780#. Then updates music library. The phone needs time, for it is indexing all media files. Check also if their is some apps working in the background by press hold the menu key & close it, it slow down the indexing. Mines takes more than a week before it becomes snappy on music files.

If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

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

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:
I haven't installed any of the 3 files offered in since the hard reset "SW Update", N-Gage, Nokia Messaging or Ovi Contacts.

N97 music player doesn't display my music

Hi all,
I have a problem since yesterday regarding the music player application on my N97. Namely, it will not display any of my music - it displays "no songs" for whatever section (Artists, Albums, etc.). Of course, I checked the file system and all music is there, safe and sound. It should be noted that the music files are in .mp3 or .m4a format, placed appropriately (mass storage, folder "Music"). And I hadn't had this sort of problem until yesterday, when I was trying to sync music with my PC using Ovi Player and Ovi Suite. They both recognize my music files and display all albums and songs accordingly.
To make it more interesting, when I choose "Music library details" option in the music library main screen, it displays the correct information (1490 songs, modified 26.11. etc.), but it simply won't list any music saying that I have none!
What I tried:
- refreshing the library a number of times - it reports "0 files added" and continues to behave in the same way;
- importing some new music (via PC) and refreshing the library - the same outcome;
- switching phone off and on (including removing the battery);
- resetting the phone to factory settings.
Nothing helped. It's running the newest firmware version (v20).
In my opinion, the problem is not caused by the music files, but the music player application itself. So I don't think that formatting the mass storage would do the trick. Someone correct me if I'm mistaking.
Also, I would very much like not having to reinstall the firmware as it was excruciating in the first place - lost connection with the device, my phone almost died, etc. But if anyone strongly thinks that it is worth trying, then I will. This is extremely annoying.

ok i found the solution here by deleting the corrupted library
http://portablevideo.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-player-database-problems.html
now one of these below is for the music and one for the photos and i didnt have a problem with the photos but did it anyways and now the player can see my music:
these are the files that need deleting in order to get rid of the corrupted library.
Storage Drives: (Mass storage E, Memory Card F)
\private\101ffca9\harvesterdbvx_x.dat
\private\10281e17\[string]mpxvx_x.db
\private\10281e17\[string]pcvx_x.db
TIP: Connect the device in USB mass storage mode (File Transfer), to locate the private folder from the PC.
TIP: STRING and x_x will change depending on your phone. (my files had slightly different names than above on the n97)

N97 Music Player Lyrics Update

Hi, I recently got an update for Music Player on my Nokia 5800 XM. This update includes Auto Lyrics feature which is something I was looking for. I have another cellphone Nokia N97. I want to ask, why N97 don't have this update? And if Nokia is planning for it when it'll be released?

They will be sorted to Artist/Album/Genre if the files have been tagged properly and if the phone will recognize the tag IDs. I would recommend to use mp3tag over other software for tagging music intended for Nokia phones.
For the refresh problem:
1. Connect your phone to you PC in Mass Storage Mode
2. On your PC you will need to have allowed to “Show” hidden files, do this from Explorer/Tools/ Folder Options/ View and select “Show hidden files and Folder”
3. Open your SD memory card/Removable Disk in My Computer on PC
4. Go to E:\ Private there you will see 3 folders 101f8857, 101ffca9 and 10281e17 .
5. Go to Private\101f8857\Cache\E there you will see .dat files. Delete all the .dat file BUT NOT the E Folder. Shown above right
6. Now go to Private\101ffca9 there you will see another .dat file, Delete the dat file NOT the folder.
7. Finally go to Private\10281e17 There you should see 4 files 2 are Mp3 files other are Podcast files. Delete mpxv2_2.db & mpxv2_2.db-journal for Mp3 files list and Delete pcv6_1.db & pcv6_1.db-journal for Podcast files list. Shown above right
8. Close all windows and disconnect your Phone. Go to Music Library and it should automatically start a refresh.

N97 bad music player, difference between v20 and v...

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the changes of the music player made in firmware version 21.0.045 compared to version 20.0.019?
All the changes logs I can find say “music player improvements” but I can't find any.
The difference between v20 and the version before that ware obvious.
“Improvements” like the “back” button going back to the home screen instead of the music list you ware coming from.
The removal of the search function in portrait mode, you can only search songs with the hardware keyboard, so no portrait touchscreen keyboard search. (very annoying when using a car dashboard stand).
And they ruined the search function all together. Now I can only search on the first word of a song, album or artiste. First I was able to search just a (part of a)word and all songs containing that word in the title would be found. I have almost 1500 songs on my N97 with only 1/3 of 32GB used. How can the expect me to remember all first words of about 4500 songs!
And all the album art in the lists, which makes for less songs on the screen at once. I don't like that very much, but that's just me I guess.
So overall the made an oké music player into an annoying player ware bey I have to remember way to much to use it properly
Of course I hoped that v21 would bring some positive chances to the music player, but I cant find any. Can Anyone tell me the changes, if any. Or are they all under the hood? But I haven't noticed any performance boosts either.
Hope to hear from someone.

I do not think that N97's music player is going to be fixed in any way...
Why? Because N97 is the worst device Nokia has ever produced! They will stop N97 software upgrading because many things in this phone went wrong. Now they claim they can fix it. And I claim: no, they can not. If they could save the sinking ship of N97 we would wait for so long for the solution of the problem called N97.
Look how irresponsible N97 becomes when you start music player!
Is this CPU issue? Playing mp3 file with 400 MHz cpu is very big deal!
My E71 has never stopped responding, and what I dit with E71 was multitasking torture!

My Music Player hangs after the latest firmware up...

I have a 5800 Xpress music phone. I updated the firmware yesterday to the latest version (V40.0.005). And also added some songs from OVI suite. Now my music player hangs all the time. I dont know what to do. And need to restart the phone again to get rid of the problem. Sometimes even if i restart it wont work. Then i need to remove the battery and then restart. So please help. I am frustrated.
Solved!

After I updated my 5800 to v 40 - i did a soft reset (wiping the phonememory) and a format of the memorycard to make sure the device was cleared for glitches. Atm my 5800 is working like a charm. Actually quite a bit better than my n97.

5800 Ordering in podcasts within music player- Pod...

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!!
