New music player not satisfactory no eas of use an...

Music Player for Symbian^3 Version 16.10.38.
Device details Nokia N8 OS Symbian Anna, Software Version 022.014(.356.02=Custom)
There was a time that I was telling friends that now cell phones are equipped with all the best features when it comes to music also. But that was thing of the past.
1. Artist & Albums Menu. No Separate selection for each available.
a. Artist:
How it is: Artist names are shown with album names.
Problem: If one had to play all songs of (single) desired artist, he can’t as he doesn’t get “PLAY ALL SONGS” option in that.
How it should be: Type or scroll to the desired artist name, tab (open) it then you will find out options as “Play all songs” or “Play Album (named separately as XXX, XYZ)”. Previous Media Players had that option.
b. Albums:
How it is: As explained in Artist menu.
Problem: I have albums which are multi artists (especially Indian movie songs which are mostly various artists) so if one had to listen to that complete album, he simply can’t.
How it should be: As explained above for artists. Previous Media Players had that option.
2. No type tool available to search in desired fields.
How it is: The most important thing, the typing tool is unavailable,
Problem: If one have huge music collection and have to search for song either by artist, album, genre, or by all songs option, the only way is to scroll, while scrolling he is guided by alphabets but still it not powerful tool.
How it should be: It’s easy to find if one just type the first few alphabets (of first or any word in the field) works as filter, whatever you typed remains on screen the rest hides. Previous Media Players had these options.
3. Missing Music Composer Menu.
As these options were available in older phone’s media players like Nokia N95, N73 etc but in new once they are missing, Changing in manifestation is good, adding new and attractive features is great, improvement in ease of use is best but eliminating power features is doing something which is equal to downgrade to Stone Age............ I don't think so people will appreciate.
4. Custom Equalizer Settings.
How it is: There few selective factory presets for the equalizer.
Problem: There are millions of Genres Worldwide and not every part of the world matches the music presets they stored in device and most of time people match the sound on their Audio devices (Car Stereo, Home and other) so they need to edit the equalizer for the best optimum sound quality.
How it should be: As in older devices had and one can change and save his own setting.
5. Expecting to add more menus: Suggestions for more menus (like year, mood etc) will be greatest things you will do.
Who will go and buy a separate device just for music if he has all these features supported by his cell phone specially when the manufacturer claims that it have music player inside.
People don’t have to stop on highways or stop skating for a while just to select the next song, allow people to go by several options.
In one simple line to explain, keep all the options of older music player, just change the display styles to new one. Add the suggestions.

Yep as I said in my post tried that obviously aswell as ...  well, the other things i mentioned in my posting. 
Now does anyone have any ideas?

    Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

  • 5530 music player not recognizing new songs

    hi all,
    new problem for me. the nokia music player is not recognizing new music. it just files them under unknown. the files are properly tagged. the only way to get it to recognize the files is to format the sd card and put the music back on the card.
    also after deleting music, the player still has the files in its unknown folder, even after updating the music library.
    very frustrating as i use the phone everyday as my main music player. this problem has only turned up in the past couple of weeks, with me changing nothing else on the phone.
    any advise?
    Solved!

    Hi, just try up this found somewhere-
    You can do this to rebuild the library as it is corrupted.
    Restart your device and then refresh your library. If this doesn't help then;
    Connect the phone to your pc/lappy and put in 'Data transfer' mode.
    To delete the library files:
    - Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
    Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
    Select "Show hidden files and folders"
    - Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
    - Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
    E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
    E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
    E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
    (assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E)
    Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd.  Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
    Now just refresh the Music Player library and the job is done.
    This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.
    Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
    Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?

  • Music Player not working in my new Nokia X6

    I got a new nokia X6 5-days ago from some few 2-3 days back it started automatically restarting on its own while i am doing soemthing in the cellphone i had not done anything wrong with the settings just installed 1-2 themes and 1-2 apps from ovi.
    Can anyone tell me why it is happening ?
    The second issue emerged today yesterday night i download many album from ovi on my X6 and today when i i try to start music player it doesn't open the screen gets black nothing happens for a long time, the phone doesn't hangs coz i can get into open apps by press and hold of menu key and come to home screen and do other things
    pls tell me how to solve this problem
    i srsly regret my decision to buy x6 over many other its not a good cell and really not worth the price it is saled

    Just try turning phone off and remove battery for 5 minutes, re-boot and go into music player and select Options refresh. I recently set up a new X6 for a friend and it's been trouble free for 6 weeks and I put 15 apps and 20 Albums on it for him plus a few vidz no problems, but just dragged and dropped them from computer to E. Also hard reset and updated the software on the phone before doing anything at all to it. If a simple restart doesn't solve your problem, I would suggest a reset, but if it's only 5 days old, take it back to the shop where you bought it, and get them to sort it !!

  • Music player not working properly!!!

    Yea I'm becoming really frustrated with the new ios7.
    I listen to alot of music, after upgrading to the new ios, the music player sometimes locks up or doesnt play songs at all.  If I move the scrubber bar to the middle of the song, then it resets itself back to the begginning at 0:00, the music still does not play.  Only after a while of messing with the play/pause button it will play. 
    It seems that if there isn't a good internet connection, then the music does not play, which makes no sense because this is music that I've paid for and downloaded on to the phone.  I've been a die-hard Apple fan for many years but, If you're going to tell me that I need to be connected to the internet to listen to paid music that should be on the phone, then I may just go to another device.This is getting really annoying.
    Sometimes the cloud icon will show up next to the album name/song - which means it's on the cloud?  But not on my phone where it should be? And if I press the cloud button to download the music then it still does not play?
    This happens about 75% of the time.
    While the new ios has cool features, it has lost its reliability and is full of problems.
    Get your crap together Apple or I'm going to another device.

    This sounds like the same problems I am having on two different ios devices. I'd like Apple to acknowledge this, at least so that there's some reason to hope for a solution. This is not what I paid for.

  • Supernova Music player "not enough memory"

    Hi,
    I like my phone, but recently, when i try to acess my music file and everytime i play them using Muisc player
    "not enogh" memory pops up but i have 20mb free file for my 2 gig memory card and 30mb for the phone memory...
    ive tried updating the files thur "update music library" but still the same issue...
    the music can play but i have to go to my memory card just to pick a song and its so much better with the music player application....
    help please =(

    Refreshing the library only updates a database file by finding new tracks on the memory card.
    I suspect the issue is connected to your phone software, all you can really do on this type of phone is to try to update the software (www.nokia.com/softwareupdate) - if you already have the latest version, it will be reinstalled and should overwrite any problems.
    You need to backup your personal data from the phone memory (contacts, messages etc.) before doing this, when you restore the backup after the update, I recommend that you untiick any items from the restoration that you don't use, and whatever happens leave out 'settings' from he restoration.

  • Nokia xm 5800 music player "not supported"

    Hi everyone,
             I just updated my music player yesterday and when I tried to open it on my phone, it wouldn't even open. When I tried to open it from the gallery, it shows "Gallery: feature not supported". I tried to click "options" but that wouldn't open either. However it still shows up on the Nokia Music Player on my PC. And I could still hear my songs by setting my alarm tone. I've tried taking out the battery & SIM card, but still no results. I would not prefer to re-transfer my music since I programmed a lot of information in them and it would take me hours to type them in again.
    Thanks!

    I have just updated my N8 to Belle. It was working fine untill few days ago i added some mp3 file to my phone. I was trying to refresh the music player bt i won't stop refreshing. Please need help ASAP cuz it's really **bleep** me off 
    thanks in advance

    Hey rafinmb
    Welcome to the forum!
    Try and isolate the problem, check whether if only one song is affected. Should that be the case then remove  the song and  add it again and  the same goes for all  the other song. It could simply mean that the file(s) were corrupted during or before the transfer process.
    Lets us know is if this works.
    Regards

  • N8 music player not recognising music file details

    I've been using mp3tag to embed album art in the ID3 tags & also fix the album artist so I can copy the files across to my N8 in windows. It all worked fine before but now the music player just sees them as album artist & album unknown, depite this info being correct in the tag files. Any ideas? In fact I've deleted some stuff that was ok & put it back on & since going back it's not been recognised properly.
    Any help appreciated
    Nokia N8 on Belle

    I have been using muscibee to embed tag information into mp3 files on the Nokia.
    1) The trick is to use the proper version of the ID tag.
    You MUST use ID3v2.3.
    The album art can be both embedded into the mp3 files, and/or saved as folder.jpg. Embedding worked for some time, then it was changed to the folder.jpg, if I know well. Now I do both.
    Musicbee has also a lot of mp3 tagging function, also auto numbering, freedb info.
    2) If you change the tag info in the files, you must remove the files from the phone, refresh the music library (so they get deleted), then copy the files back, and refresh the music library. Otherwise, the old tag info will be present in the database.

    Special thanks to all the developers, package maintainers, trusted users and other archers - every little lib was already available
    I know that a few dependencies are already covered by others (as namcap reports them) but I left them all just to be "compatibile" with aqualung required and optional libraries list (check aqualung homepage for more info).
    In this version gui skin chooser doesn't work (at least for me) - it can't see other skins. You can change the default skin to other (build and install aqualung-skins first) manually by changing it in the config file in your ~/.aqualung.
    For fast start just run aqualung --output alsa (or oss or jack if you prefer). Jack is required always but it doesn't need to run if you are using only alsa/oss. More info on aqualung homepage.
    ...and for the future releases a cvs version pkgubild (no difference for now - the project is too fresh :-) but you can use it as a template)
