N97 mini - Music player bugs

Opening the podcast in the music player reveals several options missing, like least played, never played etc. As a frequent user of podcast, the options are used all the time. They are missing in N97 mini, however available in N97, N86, 5800.

It hangs very often While playing songs downloaded from nokia music store.
I have to swith OFF/ON to play music again.
Sometimes even i fails to swith off it and only solution is pulling battery out of phone.
Even no solution from Nokia care.

  • N97 mini music player problem

    i dont know whats going on but yesterday i was transfering new songs to the phone then suddenly the screen turns black and the phone dead.  i took out the battery and restart again but all songs inside the phone gone and i cant transfer any songs now. its shows in the hard drive that still have 700 songs but it says no songs when i pressed on the music player? i tried restarting many times but no use.  anyone know how to solve this problem?  

    Hi,
    This same problem is with my n97 mini but not with the music player since I\ve never tried using it. It happens with me when I sometimes open my images or other stuff, the screen goes black and than it restarts itself or it shuts down. Even my WLAN is not working properly ( may something wrong in the settings. Anyways did you tried to update your music playlist on phone?
    I think whenever you transfer songs, you will to update the playlist.

    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
    C: 32.68 MB free
    E: 30116.46 MB free
    F: (8Gig card) 7120.86 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:
    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 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!

  • N97 mini + Ovi Player + Memory Card

    Hi,
        I cannot find how to transfer music with Ovi Player just inside the Memory Card "F" of the N97 mini and NOT inside the Mass Memory. How can I set the Ovi Player to do that?
    Thanks

    Hello my friend,
    I wonder if you solved your problem. If so could send me instructions on how to solve.
    Thanks

  • Music player bug on iPhone 5 after iOS7.1.1 update

    Good day everyone,
    There are over 30,000 discussions here so i would like to post this report. after i updated my iphone5 to ios 7.1.1 i have been experiencing a bug with the music player. the bug is when i started to play a playlist and tried to select other song within the playlist while a music is running, my action give a next command instead of playing the music that i selected.
    i hope for your quick resolution.
    thank you..

    I think all you need to do is Reset your iPhone (press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release).  My iPhone 5 on 7.1.1 does not do this, so it is not an iOS bug, just a quirk in your particular installation.  Worse case, you may need to do a Restore of the iPhone, but try Reset first.

  • N97 mini music

    I recently got an N97 mini and thought i would be able to play music through my works van stereo using the fm transmitter only to find that the mini does not have this feature but have read that you can play through bluetooth.
    My phone is paired with the bluetooth enabled stereo in the van for calls but  i can't figure out how or if i can play music through the stereo.
    Can someone help please.
    Thankyou
    Garry

    I am not sure if this will be helpful, but i had similar problem and (N95), looked for answers. The thing, is that to listen to music over bluetooth you need A2DP support, which Nokia has, however practically none of the bluetooth kits has it, certainly not the car built-in bluetooth, most car kits only support phone calls, and phone contacts,etc, not A2DP, nokia offers some kits that can stream music through your car stereo over bluetooth, if you have bluetooth enabled aftermarket stereo, check the manual for supported formats, if you cannot see A2DP then you're left with basic aux jack.

  • N97 Mini music comes on without wanting it

    Hi,
    My N97 Mini starts playing a song at full volume without warning 24/7. The phone is fully charged and sitting on table so no pressure on touchscreen. The only way to stop the music is to turn the power button off. Any advice welcome.

    My N97 had to have a HARD RESET performed after getting a WSOD (testing Nokia Labs beta software).
    I reformatted the E: drive (32 GBMass Memory) using the file manager, but Ovi Suite won't sync my Music from my PC back to the N97.
    It shows my full library on the PC. Pressing the sync button in Ovi Suite says that it is syncing but nothing appears on the N97.  There is no change in the amount of free memory on the E: drive and a Refresh Music Library performed shows that there is no music on the N97.
    Any suggestions?

  • Ipad Mini Music Player!

    I just got my ipad mini. Everything works fine except the music player. When I add music files to the library, it is stuck and freezing. In the end, I still can play but it loads years to do so.
    I already try to reset my Ipad mini two times but still didn't work out. How can I solve this problem?
    Thank you,
    Titorith

    Close the Music app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
    2. Hold the Music app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

  • N97 mini music libary refresh not working

    I did have the problem these days, that copied mp3 would not be detected by an refresh of the music library and found many hints and tips about deleting different files and directories.
    So i did collect all these tips and took my choice what to do, and was lucky, it did work.
    I have a N97mini, with built in mass-memory, and a SDCard. Have all the music on SDCard in a folder called "Music". SDCard was also used in E71 some monhs ago, so there may be some files or folders from that time which have nothing to do with the N97mini.
    I deleted some files and directories, and after that switched the phone off and on. Then started the music-player, which then was really slow, and the player automatically started to rebuild the library, which also took a long time (approximately 15 minute).
    Here are the files and folders, and also some info what happened after successful rebuild of library:
    MassMemory
    Private\101ffca9 delete harvesterdbv9_5.dat (file was re-created)
    Private\10281e17 delete complete folder with content (folder and 4 files were re-created)
    SDCard
    Private\101f8857\Cache\E delete all .dat files (no file was re-created)
    Private\101ffca9 delete harvesterdbv9_5.dat and harvesterdb.old (file harvesterdbv9_5.dat was re-created)
    Private\10281e17 delete complete folder with content (folder and 4 files were re-created)

  • Music player bugs.

    Hello.
    I just recieved my iPhone5s, it's brand new and completely upgraded. But I have this minor bug... When I play songs from my music library and unlock the phone, it saves a point that it will hop to anytime I unlock it for as long as that somg is playing. Please help me.

    Tried that, doesn't work. Problem is also present on another person's iPhone 4 in addition to my itouch 5. Anybody else having this problem?

  • 5630 XM Music Player

    Hi, so I'm just wondering if anyone else's 5630 music player keeps crashing? Mine does after a few songs.. Not every time but pretty often.
    Hoping a new firmware will fix it. 

    what you need to remember is that Nokia try their best at testing and developing phones before they are released. they don't have access to testing by millions of users, so when the phones are released, there of course will be more bugs reported to them and that they will know of, since say for example, they had a hundred testers, now they have access to millions more. and most of the time they do a great job, and within months the phone is noticeably faster, more stable, more reliable and a pleasure to use. i must admit i was a bit miffed when i bought my N78 and it was buggy, but i was patient and with the last few updates it has gotten better and better. now my phone is a joy to use with the latest firmware (v30), and i have not had a single Music Player bug/crash/hang/restart in a whole month of intensive usage with the phone. not to mention the phone either. please be patient and you will be rewarded.
    please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us  
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post! 

  • N97 music player take 3 mins to refresh playlist

    hello guys, i jus want to know if other people are also experiencing my problems. i'm not going to touch every no97 music player issues. i'll tell you one at a time. well here it goes, when i've about 400 songs in the music player and i decide to delete one in the list, the list(playlist) takes 3 mins to refresh. this is eally annoying.

    Hi, all my music is drag and dropped into the Music folder on E, I drag a full album folder into this (normally including a jpg image of album cover) if I want to delete a song, find it quicker to find the track in ' All songs' rather than in 'Album', also tend to edit stuff on computer via usb connection rather than on phone (though use both methods, as well as file manager on handset). I have about 8gig free on E and don't have any issues with media playback (over 60 music vids and full length movies on E in Video folder ) If phone is 'laggy' try a hard reset, but if you can cope leave it as it involves a good bit of time in 're-building' your phone !
    Good Luck

  • N97 - Music Player - Some songs seems to speed up ...

    I've noticed this strange behaviour on my N97.
    When playing back MP3s in the Music Player application, I can noticeably hear the track speed up (or race).  The speed up is subtle, and it sounds like a pitch shift at first.  Then the track seems to return to normal speed after about 20-30 seconds.  Then after about the same amount of time the track races again.  It is not on all tracks, and it usually happens after playing a long album (say more than 4 hrs of play).
    Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?
    I'm on v21.2.045.CO1.01 (RM-507)
    I have a custom theme installed on the phone: "Lake" Theme.
    Nokia N8

    Just listened to a track then that had the playback speed up and slow down like it was having a drag race.  It is such a random bug.  
    I wonder if it has something to do with the track type, or the bit rate of the track?
