N97 Music Library

Nokia N97 Music Player, an average application but does serve the basics of a music app. I do however, find some problems with this. Does anyone know an easier way of adding new tracks to an already existing playlist. For example, I added 500 tracks to my N97 and then wanted to seperate in two playlists. Since I cannot choose folders, I had to select every track individually. And now, if I want to add another 20 to 30 tracks, I will have to go through all of the 530 tracks to find the newly added music. Is there any alternative music player or an updated version ?

Actually there is an automated list in the Lists options in the Music Player Menu, that list is "Latest added songs" it will show you song in added order. So you don't need to look in the 530 songs.

N97 Music Library problem

Hi all,
Got a strange problem on my n97.
In almost every album, it shows every song twice.
Tried refreshing the library more than once now, but no luck.
If I add a new album, it only shows those tracks once.
So this must have happened some time ago, but I can't seem te get rid of it.
Very annoying
Anyone has a solution? Tried searching the forums, but other than formatting the mass memory (what I'm not willing to do at this point), I couldn't find anything.
Solved!

What method did you use to put the offending albums on phone? If you used the likes of Ovi/WMP to sync there are situations files can be duplicated, it's possible a previous sync has mucked things up..
Sometimes they can copy over files already there, giving duplicates. And if you edit tracks (eg. change cover art) and resync with likes of WMP you can get both versions, eg. Song and Song(2), on phone. Also depending on source file some syncs can put album track ID3 tag info (eg. cover art) in separate file, resulting in duplicate entries. (Is it 2 exact copies of tracks you have, or one of proper size and one of few kb?)
Can you delete the affected albums with same method they were put on phone with and refresh library to check they're gone, or do same with file manager, then put back using mass storage method and check tracks aren't duplicated? Maybe try one album as a test.
Just some ideas, not had to troubleshoot such issues myself as I just use mass storage method to put files in Sounds/Music folder, and never had this problem. If someone smarter than me (and there are many ) sees this, I'm sure they'll jump in.

Bug in the Refresh Music Library - N97 V21

I wanted to add just one new song onto my N97, it was a song that I heard on the radio and liked so I purchased it on iTunes added it to a playlist and transferred it to my N97 using NMT. This all went fine until I tried refreshing the music library, no matter what I did the refresh would not find the additional song. I checked the transfer using YBrowser and sure enough the song had been transferred and the playlist had the new song added (I could even play it in the file browser) but this would not update in the music player.
To resolve this I had to delete all 4.7GB of music off my N97 (including the playlists) using NMT then disconnect the phone and refresh the library, the music library then displayed 0 songs. Then using NMT I had to reload all of the music and refresh the library, this time it worked.
As you can imagine deleting and reloading 4.7GB (thankfully I don't have more music on my phone) of data takes quite a bit of time, all to add just one new 8MB song. Outrageous!
Has anyone else experienced this?

N97 software update=music library gone??????

i updated my n97,the songs are all still in the mass memory,but all gone from music library,is there an easy way to get them back,or do i have to delete them all from mass memory,and put them all back on again??? iv had it with this rubbish phone,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try connecting phone in mass storage mode and select show all files, look in 'private on E and delete the files listed, has worked for me in the past !
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.
After you've done this, then you should be able to re-scan and re-create the Music Library.
Good Luck

How to hide ringtones from Music Library on N97 mi...

Hello,
The title speaks for it's self i think.
I want to hide my personal ringtones (on the mass storage drive) from my Music library as it is quite annoying to hear your ringtones when listening to good music... The folder with the Nokia ringtones I can't find....
So, how can I do this?
Greetings,
Redmer

There is a very easy way to do this. This method does not involve keeping your sound files 'hidden'. This means your files will still be accessible from other apps. Also, you DO NOT not need to hack your phone for this.
http://lagenda4046s603rd.blogspot.com/2010/08/13-all-mods-pack-in-sis.html
This little app will let you do exactly what you want. The music library will now only look in E:\music (memorycard>'music' folder)
HOWEVER, when you install it, it will still show your ring tones and other sound files, but it wont show any further sound files that you add to your phone unless you put them in E:\music. THERE IS A VERY EASY WAY AROUND THIS:
BEFORE INSTALLING Just hide all the sound files you don't want in your music library (make files 'hidden'), then install '13 all mods' (link above), then unhide those sound files.
Now your music library will ONLY show music in E:/music AND your other sound files remain unhidden, so other apps can use them normally.
Enjoy!
There are also other options during install. All of the features are optional during install. Your phone may not support all the options, but hopefully it will work for the music library function.
When you install, it may say 'phone not supported', BUT INSTALL IT ANYWAY. This just means that not all the extra options will work for your phone (e.g. disable nokia hands), but you should expect the music thing to work properly.
Note: this app will not show an icon in you menu, but it will be in you app list in 'application manager'. There, you can uninstall it, and this will undo any features you selected i.e. it will show all your sound files, ring tones and anything else you selected etc.
Regards and Good luck

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 Fault

I installed all the updates through USB from my laptop and for 2 days afterwards my music player was working fine on the phone, then my music has vanished from my library on the phone, but I can still use any of them as ring tones through the ringtones settings part. However in my llibrary mode it is showing as nearly 5 hours of music at the top of the screen but the middle display says no files, I have connected my phone yesterday to my computer and asked it to add more songs which the computer said was successful, So I then refreshed the library after disconnecting my phone and there is no change to the library, but everything else on my phone works fine.
What do I do?

N97 Music Player Keeps On Refreshing

I recently updated my N97 V.20 and the phone is way better than before.. I have problem in my music player when i copy files on my internal 32GB memory and refresh the library it keeps on refreshing then i have to remove battery. When i on the phone and check the music library it will not show any music tracks but the details shows that 273 songs have been added..
* When i hard reset my phone the music files will be displayed on my library
* When i add new music files and refresh my music library the same error occurs "music library keeps on refreshing"
Can anyone suggest me how can i solve this problem?? Because of this bug i am unable to listen to music on my phone :-(

I also had the "Problem".
1. Restart your Phone ( OFF and ON ) after transferring the Files.
2. Start Music Player
3. Go to "options"
4. Got to "refresh library" or "update library" I don't know the exact wording because i've got the German Version.
5. The amount of imported Files will be displayed. Finished.

Music library - tones

i recently transferred a load of music onto my new n97. most of the songs have gone into the music library. but some of them haven't. they are on my phone as i can use them as ringtones...there isn't any difference to the songs in terms of type of file etc.
does anyone know why they didn't go into the music library? and how i can transfer them into it?!
thanks

When you sync your iPhone are you telling iTunes to sync the tones?
Select your iPhone from the Devices list and then go to the 'Tones' option and make you choice.
You can also check in iTunes prefs>General - that the Show 'tones' option is checked so you can see your tones in iTunes.

It's due to the format. You have to import as follows (from Garage Band help):

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.

How to heal corrupted music library?

How can I retrieve my music on my music library?
When I open any of my music folder,it always appear "no song".
But when I open my music file on my memory card, it is there.
How come I can't access it on my phone's browser?

Same problem on the N97 for me. The synchronise went crazy and was copying things back to my laptop and then back to the phone creating duplicates (in both. Deleting by artist deleted then entries in the Artist list, but the info was still in Album and Songs lists (which would not delete!), and the Music Library claimed there were about 300 songs more than I actually own!
Killed the sync link in Windows Media, deleted everything I possibly could from MusicPlayer and it was still claiming loads of non-existent song (even after Refresh Library), then performed major file-manager surgery on the Music folder and made sure there was nothing whatsoever remaining. Music Player (after another Refresh Library) still claimed there was 300+ songs.
Eventually went down the drastic Format Mass Storage route (making sure I had copied everything in the CITIES folder, bacause I wasn't sure what would happen to this) and, HeyPresto! MusicPlayer reported zero songs.
Full new sync to Media Player and (with a few hiccups) everthing tickety-boo. Identical number of songs reported by MusicPlayer and Media Player.
Now - with 14gb of music, this was not a quick option.!!!
If only there was a Rebuild Music Library option, this would have all been avoided.
Or - even of the folder/files that hold this into could be made visible so that they could be deleted!
So - one thing was discovered - this music library info is SOMEWHERE on the Mass Storage Drive. It may be hidden in the default Music folder (that wasn't there after the re-format and was added by the first use of Music Player.
A possible quicker route?
So - and this is no certainty - it might be possible to just delete just the Music folder and start again (not much quicker, I'd agree - but perhaps less daunting than the reformat route. Certainly this shouldn't cause any problems.)
Or - perhaps a quicker route, by using FileManager to move all the visible contents of the Music folder into a new folder, deleting the Music folder, opening MusicPlayer (which should create a new Music folder and empty library data), and then moving everything back to the new MUSIC folder, and running the Refresh Music Library. Providing File Manager can performa quick "Move", this should be quite quick. (This assumes that no "Library" data is held in hidden files in the sub-folders - which seems unlikely since it's a pretty dumb way to do it . . .but then we are talking Nokia!)

Will I be able to copy my music library from my PC to I pad and listen to it at a remote place without sync and without I tunes match?

Will I b able to copy my music library from PC to I pad while sync and listen to it without sync at a remote place. Is it possible without iTunes Match?

Yes. As long as all your songs you lost have been Matched or Uploaded to iTunes Match you can download your entire library from the cloud.
It might take some time though

IPod touch will no longer sync with my music library on iTunes since restoring to factory settings

I had to restore the ipod when it locked my son out as he'd forgotten the passcode.
I have around 1000 songs in my music library on itunes. Sync all songs is checked, but it saying there are 0 songs.
I'd like to sync all songs to the ipod. Can anyone help please?

Syncing is iTunes keeping your iTunes library (or a defined portion of the iTunes library) "in sync" (the same as) the library on your iPod. And iTunes syncing of content generally goes in one direction only, from iTunes library on computer to the iPod. That's why, if you want to sync it to a NEW iTunes library, iTunes is warning you that the existing library on the iPod will be replaced.
So, you cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library. Once your iTunes library is consolidated with ALL of your songs, you can sync your iPod to it.
NOTE: If you have songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store on the iPod, you can re-download them at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.

In the latest verision of ITunes (downloaded yesterday) I can no longer see how large (in GB's) my music library or playlists are. This is a very valuable function and it seems to have disappeared. Anyone know where it is?
