Nokia Comes With Music - Seriously, what?

It took me about 5 minutes after I opened the X6 package I recently purchased as I started regretting what I have done.
If this Comes With Music service would work, then I wouldn't regret it, as it was the dealmaker.
Current problem where it hangs. I launch Nokia Ovi Music Player, I have account in Nokia. I press "Join now!" button at the top left screen.
Next screen takes me to "Connect your Mobile Device" stuff. Finally, as I've connected, it takes me to a screen that tells me
"This Device cannot be used as a Nokia Music Unlimited mobile device"
"This device is not your registered Nokia Music unlimited mobile device".
How can I register the device as my Nokia Music Unlimited? Don't tell me I have to do it manually though the device itself? That would cost **bleep**loads of money again.
I certainly agree so far with everyone - don't buy nokia. The software people at Nokia are completely idiotic if things are this hard for someone who generally cuts things quickly.

@Mellowmen - You can try registering directly from device and it won't cost anything extra if done via WLAN or if you have unlimited (3G) data plan.
Otherwise you can contact local Care and they can sort this out for you. You can find contact details under Contact us -tab on top of this page.

5130 nokia comes with music & ovi recognizing prob

Hey!
I just bought nokia 5130 xpress music with nokia comes with music. I followed instructions, installed ovi software etc, but when it comes to nokia comes with music thing, it shows the help for it (turn on phone and put usb cable to usb drive etc), but when i connect phone and press continue, it just refreshes the page, so i think it means that ovi doesn't recognize my phone. PC recoqnizes phone itself as USB Device USB Phone Parent in Wireless Communication Devices category and on location it says : 0 (Nokia 5130c-2). So what I should do to make ovi recognize my phone? I consider myself as advanced user so this is very frustrating .
and i have tried this:

Numerous problems with Nokia Comes with Music on 5...

Hello,
I purchased the 5800 just today and was trying out the Music store.
I've encountered several problems and was wondering if anyone else has the same problem
1: After searching for a certain track title, the page displays the first few search results, but I am unable to scroll downwards to the rest of the search results!
2: When I attempt to download many tracks at one go, it seems that some of these tracks get downloaded, while others don't seem to be. I suspect it may be something to do with my phone turning off the screen after I leave it untouched. It seems that the tracks queued after the screen turns off do NOT get downloaded.
3: I've installed the Nokia Music Store on my PC, and signed in using the same account I've set up using my PIN number on my phone. However, everytime I attempt to download a song, I noticed that I have to pay for the songs! Why is that so? I double checked my account details and I already am entitled to a year's subscription of free songs, then why can't I download the songs using Nokia Music on my PC?
Please help, this is really confusing...
Thanks!

Hi!
Make sure you are browsing Nokia Music Store in Comes With Music mode, and not Purchase music mode. This is indicated by a button next to the sign in button in Nokia Music.

What is PINless comes with music activation ? Plea...

ok, so the new firmware v30 gives Nokia N86 users the benefit of a so called PINless activation possibility for" comes with music" service. what is that and how to use it?? Thank you in advance
nokia N80-->nokia N82-->nokia N86

Comes WIth Music PINs are not actually linked to the device IMEI.
The Comes With Music service used a database of the IMEI numbers of all phones sold as part of CWM packages, when you begin the process of creating a CWM account, a check is made via the internet that your IMEI is on the CWM database (this is why you cannot proceed with registration via PC unless you connect the phone by USB cable). Once the check is made, you have the choice to create a new account or add your CWM subscription to an existing Nokia Music account. THe third and final stage is where the PIN number is requested.
Your device IMEI is validated well before you enter the PIN, the PIN is an additional security measure.

Nokia N95 'comes with music'

Hi
I've recently bought an 8gb N95 on a contract with Orange, from phones 4 u.
I downloaded the Nokia comes with music application on my PC, and attempted to register my mobile.
It asked me to enter the pin number that came with my phone, in the 'comes with music leaflet'.
I do not have a 'comes with music' leaflet.
Does this mean I cannot get access to free songs?
It was the main reason I bought the phone!
Thanks a lot

You presumed wrong. If you wanted the "comes with music" version you needed to ask for it as not all retailers sell it. The nokia website shows both versions of the N95 8GB.
The N95 8GB has been available for over a year now but the "comes with music" package has only been available for a month or two. Most retailers don't sell the "comes with music" version due to it being an older model and more expensive than the standard version.
They won't be able to give you the pass code as the "comes with music" version is more expensive (approx £50) to cover the music licenses.
I believe the only network that is doing the "come with music" version on contract is 3.

Question about Comes With Music in the UK

Ever since I heard about the service, I was quite interested in getting a Comes With Music device on contract, but looking for one is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Ideally, I would like to stay with O2, but they don't seem to offer contracts with Comes With Music, from what I can tell. I called their sales team four times to try and find out and pretty much got a different answer every time, although the one person who did seem to know what he was talking about gave a definitive "no".
Other than that, I'm finding it impossible to find deals. I know Orange do the 32GB X6, because a friend of mine has this contract (not that I've found anything about it online), and the Nokia site itself offers the 5800 CWM with T-Mobile. Like I said though, I'd rather stick with O2 if possible, because I've always had excellent signal from them.
So basically, does anyone have any information that may help me? I'm starting to think the reason CWM isn't doing well over here is because nobody really knows about it and because if you do find out about it, it's virtually impossible to find a contract.

Your only option for getting a CwM phone on O2 is to see what places like carphone warehouse and phones 4u have to offer.
O2 have refused to sell CwM phones directly in the past.
Instead of paying more for a CwM phone you may want to consider spotify premium instead. It's Â£10 per month and it allows you to either stream music or download for use on the phone.
The X6 32gb CwM has become quite hard to find since the cheaper 16gb model (without CwM) appeared. Originally it was exclusive to phones 4u but didn't sell well due to it's overly high price.

5800 Comes with Music [PIN/Activation code] is the...

OK - bit of background first
Some months back I brought a 5800 that did not 'COME WITH MUSIC' - I've got it all set up nicely, got all the apps I wanted installed, email settings correct, games etc etc
Recently - just for fun - I entered a couple of codes on the Pepsi ringpull promotion to win a 5800 'Comes with Music' - & guess what, got an email saying I've actually won !!! (haven't got it yet though)
Now I know I can't use the PIN/Activation code from the 5800 'comes with music' phone with my 'older' 5800 (I believe the code is 'locked' to the IMEA of the phone or something like that - can any1 confirm this ??) - but what I'd like to know is how long have I got before the activation code is 'invalid'.
What I mean is that IF I don't use it then my 12months 'free download' subscription will not start - but if I leave it for - say a year - will the code become invalid & I lose out on all those lovely free downloads ??
The way I'm thinking is that I could keep the new one locked away & if/when my present phone gets too badly damaged, or the screen get's scratched, then I can 'backup everything to PC' (Nokia Suite) & reload it into the new one THEN use the activation code & get a years free download
Or would it be better to transfer from the old phone to the new phone now - use that with my free downloads & 'factory reset' my old phone & sell it on/recycle it ??
Motto: Illegitimis non carborundum

OK so no answer - however since I've now got the new phone, I can answer my own question
There is only 2 Months from recieving (buying) the phone before the 'Comes with Music' voucher is made invalid

Come with music only in UK with 5800?

Is it confirmed that the 5800 will be served with Nokia "come with music" service only in UK with Orange?

Nokia have made a press release about it here:
www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1314408
It's also on nokia's blog:
http://conversations.nokia.com/2009/05/13/nokia-5800-orange-uk-comes-with-music/
It is still possible that nokia will sell the CWM 5800 as a sim free phone at a later date but nothing is known about that yet.

Nokia 5310 Comes With Music problem

I've had my Nokia 5310 and Comes with Music since December and have yet to figure out how to transfer the music I've gotten from Comes with Music.
I've spent aeons on the phone to Nokia customer services and we have figured out so much as it's not the memory card, the phone, the registration with comes with music, or my computer.
I've managed to go through Windows Media Player and transfer OLD music to my phone which plays as normal. When I transfer a comes with music song, it says there is an error. Then I check my phone and the song is on there... But when I press it to play it says, "recieving activation key" and "subscribe to packet data first". I took a stab at what this means and got personal configuration settings for MMS and Sych and Streaming but they dont seem to work, because I still can't send picture messages. Go figure.
Can anyone help? I payed for this and it's not working, no one seems to know whats wrong.
Ana

If you can't sent pictures thru mms, then its not properly configured for your phone. I would advice you to give your provider a call & have the configuration for packet services sent to you, or give you instruction on how to do it with your phone. Ask also what services are being offered to you.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

NOKIA X6 16GB AND COME WITH MUSIC PIN

Recently I purchased a Nokia X6 16 GB phone from SLOT SYSTEMS, Lagos Nigeria but my device does not have a come with music activation PIN and the dealer told me the model does not come with such facility. Is this correct or I have been cheated. What are the options available to me to get this PIN?

Does it say come with music on the box?
If it didn't say it on the box then you have the more common (and lower priced) standard X6 sales package. It does not come with free music and the service cannot be added to it.
If it did say it then you should have got the pin and you'll need to complain to the dealer again. If they won't help you complain to nokia care (if they operate in your county) or seek legal advice. Also keep in mind that your phone may have been imported from another country so CwM may not actually be available in your country.

Nokia 5530 comes with music? were is this pin code...

Got it for xmas and it says COMES WITH MUSIC i only got the warranty info instruction manual ovi disk and vodafone`s sim package no scratchcard or anythhing?!

Just sent this.
I purchased a Nokia 5530 from yourselves on the back of Nokia's Comes With Music promotion. On their website, they state in multiple places that this phone is part of that promotion. They even explicitly state that phones that are compatible with the service and are bought from Carphone Warehouse (http://www.nokiamusic.co.uk/#/faq/) are part if the CWM service. Yet, there was no CWM literature in the phone's box nor was their the PIN number necessary for the service. I contacted the local store and was told, categorically, that Nokia's information was incorrect and that the CWM service is exclusive to Phones4U. This is in direct contravention of the Nokia's own information, the people running the service.
I am not the only one to have this problem. Many dissastisified customers have posted to the Nokia's support forums about this. Some bought phones from you, actually recieved the PIN number that they were promised only to have it rejected by Nokia's Music Store.
What is going on, what is the deal here. Are you operating a regional thing, customers in some areas get the service, other's don't. If you buy from a shop you get an invalid pin, if you buy through the website you get no pin at all?
Let's see how they respond.

Comes With Music / Nokia 5800 problems downloading...

I've just got a new 5800 with Comes With Music and I'm having lots of problems! Hopefully you can help?!
Problem 1 - the main problem! Downloads don't add to phone's music library
The main problem is with downloading songs directly using my phone. Songs I download (using the mobile, not the PC) don't get added to my music library, and refreshing the music library dowsn't help. If I go to the music store, select 'options' and 'downloads' I can see a list of all the songs I've downloaded. If I select 'open' I can play the songs (one at a time), but they don't get added to the music library. If I press 'delete', I'm told 'File not found'. When I connect to my PC, I can't see these songs using the Nokia Music software, so can't transfer them to the PC. All very strange. Any ideas for how I can get these songs to add to the library?
Problem 2 - Nokia Music software
This is just irritating rather than anything else. When I plug my phone to my PC and use Nokia Music, the little phone icon has the caption 'Nokia N95'. But the phone I've connected is a 5800! My old phone was an N95...
At first this meant I couldn't sign up to CWM using my pin, because I was told it isn't compatible with this phone. So I had to sign up using the phone rather than the PC, and then use the log-in details on the PC to access music. This has worked and means I can download songs to my PC and transfer them to my phone, but it was a pain to get there.
Problem 3: Nokia Music website doesn't work
To add insult to injury, when I look for some help on the nokiamusic.co.uk website I'm told I need a new flash player. So I download the new flash playe, and I'm still told I need a new flash player. Brilliant. Incidentally, at the bottom of the page it says"Click here if you're quite sure to have Flash Player installed" which is gramatically a lot of nonsense.
I've always got on well with Nokia, but frankly I've had a nightmare week trying to get this new phone up and running and I'm very disappointed with them. The help-line isn't much use either. Anyway, any help on the above would be really greatfully received.
Ryan

Hi!
For your first problem, are you accessing Nokia Music Store on your mobile through the webbrowser or via the application in Music Menu? If you are using the web browser, try using the application.
If you are using the application already, have you tried with different access points? (i.e. WLAN, different operator interet access points) Also make sure that you have a memorycard in your phone which is compatible with the device, might be worth trying to re-format it and then try again?
For your third problem, have you tried to access nokia music store through Nokia Music program on your PC? (Click on Store tab). And which browser are you currenlty using to access it?
Cheers,

Nokia 5800XM navigation edition, comes with music?

So my question is, is the nokia 5800XM navigation edition supposed to come with comes with music too?
I have bought the navigation edition and there is no comes with music registration code in the package.
Thanks in advance

The link below shows all Comes With Music compatible phones. This does not mean that the phones automatically include a Comes With Music subscription. You have to check the box if there is a sticker that indicates the phone contains the subscription.

Comes with music on Nokia 5310 just bought Nokia 5...

I have a 5310 comes with music but have just bought a 5800 and was wondering is there any way I can get the music on my 5800, can I change registration from the 5310 to the 5800 ? I have only had the 5310 a few days so I am not sure if there is a way to do this, thank you for any help or advice..

In fact, there are limited circumstances in which you can transfer your account to another phone, but I'm afraid it still doesn't help in this case.
If you buy another Comes With Music phone (it has to come from a Comes With Music sales box, not just any one of the supported models) then you can transfer your existing account to it instead of using the PIN code with it to create a new account. At the moment, that means you could upgrade to an N95 8Gb-CWM or an N96-CWM. Nokia did say that 5800XM-CWMs would be available , but I believe thety have not yet started.
This service is about to be launched in quite a lot of European countries, including France.

Nokia N96 - "Comes With Music" - Does iiiiit?

I have a question for my N96 about the "Comes With Music" feature. I have downloaded several songs from this site through my phone and i can play them fine, the only problem is the sole reason for downloading them was to use them for message alerts and mainly ringtones but they won't allow this. After i've paid for these tracks i think it's highly unfair that I cannot use them for my own personal use as a riongtone or such like. I can understand not being able to send them to others or burn them due to the copyrights and licences but not even using them as a ringtone! It's a joke in my opinion. Can anyone help me with this? Is there a way around it or can you recommend a decent ringtone website that doesn't rip you off too much?

It's the same with DRM protected music from most sites. The licence allows you to use it for music only, not for public broadcast (i.e. a ringtone).
Any music bought from the nokia music store can be burnt to a CD. Once on a CD it can be ripped back to a PC removing the DRM. This allows you to do anything with your music.
The "comes with music" service is something completely different. This is where you get totally free music from the nokia music store for a year but it can't be burnt to a CD.
To get that service you have to buy a "come with music" model. At the moment only the 5310 and N95 8GB are available with this service and only in select countries.
