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.

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?

N8 music player has to refresh library every time ...

N8 music player has to refresh library every time after switching on the phone. why?

How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library:
reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

Default Nokia Music Player is not refreshing songs...

HI,
I'm using Nokia C5-05.... Default Nokia Music Player is not refreshing songs from Memory Card... I tried removing the memory card and inserting again... Wen I click Refresh Library, its refreshing and showing as "0 files(s) added".... I don't understand why??? Pls help me....
Please check and update me regarding the necessary actions to be taken as soon as possible.....
Thanks.

hae you checked via Nokia Suite on your PC if there are any firmware updates available for your handset? if there are any, please update to the latest version offered. failing that, can try re-installing the current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
might also pay to check the memory card via a memory card reader, to see if it is working fine or not.

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 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 upload

I have a mac so it is difficult for me to transfer multimedia to my N97. I downloaded the multimedia transfer software but it only transfers songs to the memory. can anybody tell me how to play them in the music player????
Thanks.

I think that you need to scan for new music, by openign the music player, pressing options and choosing "refresh library" it will scan for new music files and add them to your music player.
I've had massive issues uploading music, with songs that have perfect ID tags ending up in an unkown artist folder, and only around 30% of my songs appearing with album art... and why nokia can't impliment gapless playback (no pause inbetween tracks)

Help required with N97 music player

Hi. Could someone help me out please.
Got an N97 at the weekend and wanted to transfer some songs onto the music player for my laptop.
Installed the OVI software no problem, everything went fine.
Dragged my chosen songs to the player and got a message confirming the songs had been transferred.
Went into music player in the N97 and it was totally empty.
Message saying all songs had been transferred on the software.
Any ideas?

OK, problem sounds similar to mine but refresh & waiting not working for me. One day my music was working fine (listening in car, using sat nav, all plugged into stereo, great...), then I download some photos to my PC and the next day, my music player doesn't think it has any songs...
Go into any of the "Albums", "Artists", "All Songs" etc folders and all I get is a message saying (no songs) and yet, at the top of the page, it says "11 days, 23 hours" - which is how much music I did have on there...
I have tried refreshing the library - takes about 30 seconds & tells me no new songs added. Have rebooted phone & taken battery out for a minute yet I still can't play or access any of my tunes.
Does anyone have any ideas? Please?!!!

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.

Music player stays at Refresh: Added 0 files forev...

I'm running the latest firmware for the phone, thought it probably isn't a firmware problem, since I was able to refresh music a while ago, on the same firmware.
Anyway, just as the title says, the music player is stuck when trying to add new files. I've left it overnight, and there was no progress. I removed the private directory completely, but the problem still persists.
Anyway to fix this?

Just wanted to say thanks for the bits and pieces in this thread. They put me on the right track.
I was under the mistaken impression that the reason my N95 8gb spent all night refreshing without getting anywhere was because I had too many songs on there. It turns out that this is incorrect.
What I did have were a lot of songs that it refused to play. I had attempted to encode them all to AAC low-complexity profile, but something was amiss.
I went through my 1200 songs and found all the ones that didn't play, and made an interesting discovery: there were 3 encoders that had been used to create my library - (various versions of) itunes/quicktime, FAAC 0.24, and LAVF. All of the itunes and FAAC tracks played just fine. All of the LAVF tracks would not play.
I used itunes to re-encode all of the tracks originally encoded by LAVF, then deleted everything on my N95. I then copied everything back across in 5-6 stages (just to narrow down the scope of any badness that might happen). When the phone did refresh after each copy, it took 2-3 minutes and then finished.
I now have 1300 songs (all encoded using itunes or FAAC) on my N95 and it's happy and I'm happy.
Incidentally I had similar issues with my Sony Ericsson K610i with FAAC 0.25. I haven't bothered to check whether or not that version breaks my N95.
I also took the opportunity to update all my album art (since the N95 player doesn't give you an album name?!?). That took a bit of fiddling, since manually entered album art would appear but itunes-auto-aquired art would not. I discovered that this is because itunes now keeps its own separate art library. To get it into individual files for the N95, itunes_insert_albumart at http://mysite.verizon.net/teridon/itunesscripts/index.html works a treat.

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?

N97 Music Player

Is there a better / alternative music player available anywhere for the N97? The default player is poor in my opinion - the player I had on my 2 year old Sony W960 was way ahead of this Nokia product.
Simple things like being able to hide artists associated with compilations seems to be missing.

I agree with rapid, poor sound compared to my last SE 'phone. Good high end but the middle is weak and the bass lacks any puch whatsoever. And those earphones? A 'phone that costs so much and a budget of 7 pence for them? Good grief.
Nokia: do yourselves a favour - go and spend a few quid on a cheap Sony 'phone and have a look at how the music should be done on your "market leading entertainment device".
Sony: here's an opportunity for you - port some of your music player software to S60 v5, sell it in the Ovi and you'll have a stream of punters. In fact, since the upcoming Satio / Idou / whatever-it's-called-this-week is S60 v5, and I'm assuming you'll have put more than 10 minutes though into the music player on the thing, let's just have that software. Thanks.
I do like most things about this 'phone and I expect the irritating bugs will get ironed out in due course, but it's a shame it had to be so disappointing out of the box.

Music player keeps on forgetting my place within the file

I have several large files in my music library that I listen to. If I pause the play and come back to it after a few hours the player has "forgotten" at which point I paused it and gone back to the beginning of the file. Is there some way of getting around this? Maybe some setting that I have to choose to get it to keep it's place?

This is a normal case with the phone
on firmware 3.08 you often get General System Error
on firmware 3.26 you would get an never ending Searching for Music
on firmware 4.13 you would freeze up your music playing by using the original head set after playing 2-5 tracks
I have to add that the music player is the major flaw in this phone with its series of bugs. It has issues when updating library after adding new songs too, in addition to its low sound production.
I have tried the phone soft reset but this is never a permanent solution
The phone is a good phone still but Nokia seems to neglect its users.

6500s- music player keeps updating

I bought this 6500s phone and have the Nokia centre checked for me since its screen freezes occasionally. They updated it but now whenever I open music player, it wouldn't stop updating or searching. When I finally manage to play a music file , it skips to the next one after 5 secs. The phone also sometimes ( actually most time)does not recognise the memory card. ( doesn't matter if I use the original Nokia or Sandisk memory card. Of course, the ring tone and wallpaper never retain and keep going back to default. Anyone else have the same problem and how do you overcome it?
Someone mentioned for 6500s, the backplate has poor contact with circuit board causing non-recognition of memory card. How can this problem be rectified?
Please help. Thanks.
Solved!

Hi I am wondering if any one can help I have a c3o3 phone which I gave to my son ,my contacts was I the account so Itried to delete the old pc suita off my computer and put the new suite ,i think it's the 7.1,but every time it gets to the music player it crashs .i went in to programes and thought I had deleted every file but one keeps reinstalling its self.I have went into C drive ,program files ,into Nokia ,into music player,It's the Cwmbran,individual file that keeps reinstalling itself. Can anyone help. Terence

Hi Terence1546,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions.
Please update or reinstall the current software with Nokia Suite. Doing so will reinstall the music application and the rest of the phone's software that potentially causes the software to crash.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and make a back up of your data via Tools > Back Up. Make sure you don't tick the Settings box. Now click on the green arrow icon where an available update will be displayed. If no update is listed you can reinstall the current software, this option is displayed in blue.
Once the software has been updated or reinstalled, restore the back up via Tools > Restore and your phone should work like it should again.
Let me know how you get on!
