Nokia n8 music player - one album not appearing

I have downloaded plenty of albums to my phone both before and since, but there is one album that just will not appear in the music player.
If I go into the file manager, into the music folder, I can find and play the album. However, it refuses to show up through the music players.
Any ideas?

Also, have you looked at the info to see who the first artist is listed on the first track? I've had some where a guest star is listed on a track and instead of the album being listed under who it should be, it's listed under the guest star......

N-series Music Player plays album tracks in alphab...

This bug is still in the N85 firmware (V 30.019). So the firmware has now been updated twice, with the error still in it.
However, I have found a workaround, that is easy to use and does not require too much work. It's a bit on the geeky side, I'm afraid, but not that difficult.
The Problem
I have found that N85 (and presumably many other N-series devices as well) cannot correctly read and play music albums, but instead plays the tracks in alphabetical order. The same occurs no matter how you transfer the audio to the device. Even thought the Music Player cannot read the tags in the MP3 files, but it does handle M3U playlists correctly.
Background
[A short explanation for those of you who don't know what M3U playlists are. They were originally developed to be used with the computer music player WinAmp, but have since become a rather common little tool. Playlist is basically a text file, with a name like michael_jackson_thriller.m3u, that lists the contents of a music album (or indeed any other collection of music that you like) and describes the sequence of music files to be played. It sort of tells the music player application what you want to hear and in what order.
When you double click an M3U playlist in your computer, your music player software will open and play the music files in that playlist, automatically. In other words, a playlist does not contain any music, but instructions about where to find them in your computer's or device's memory. You can use playlists in your Nokia N-series phone's music player as well.]
The Solution
Always include an M3U file with each album that you transfer to your phone. Then, instead of the album open the corresponding playlist and hey presto! it plays correctly. As an added bonus, you get noticeably shorter gaps between tracks, which is especially nice when you play mixed music (like DJ sets or classical music). Please note that you can't use PLS files (another common playlist format).
What you want to do is get a helper application to your computer that can easily (or even automatically) create playlists, and then transfer them to your device's Music folder in mass media mode. The simply update your Music Library in your phone and go to Playlists in the Music Player.
I have found the following (Windows) applications particularly useful.
Oddgravity Playlist Creator
A compact tool that creates playlists automatically. I usually select one folder (one album), let the app create the playlist in the same folder, and than just drag (copy) the folder to my phone's mass memory. The whole thing takes something like 60 seconds.
iTunes Export
A tool that turns your iTunes playlists into M3U playlists. Can be fully automated.
Medieval CUE Splitter
If you use CUE files to split whole albums, this app can create M3U files while you split the album file.
PS Otherwise I think that Carthage should be destroyed, and that Nokia really should fix that bug!

NO .
E series have the basic features of NOKIA'S music player while hi-end Nseries phones have extra software wise better performance and some of them have better audio chip.
Why is this?
Just to distinguish it is an ESeries phone and that is a Nseries?

General: System Error on Nokia N80 music player

Hi all
I've just copied a bunch of WMA files from my PC to the memory card of my Nokia N80 and I know see "General: System Error" whenever I start the music player - and no tracks appear either. The only other details I can think of are that all files are in Artist then Album folders (i.e. in the Sounds->Digital folder, I have folder "Beatles", then under this folder "The White Album"). Would this matter? I've removed any .ini, .jpg or other files that may have been copied across and I'm sure none of the files are particularly big.. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ben

Cheers for the reply but I have managed to get it to play a WMA file - if I load this in to the phone memory.
From further investigation, I've found that if I remove a hidden file from the memory card under found in the system directory of the card, then this allows the phone to re-scan the card for files. It seems that once the Music Player has done a search of the card it stops searching ever again (i.e. it believes it has scanned the card, therefore no point doing again). But what if you add new MP3s or WMAs for that matter? I don't want to carry out this hack each time.
Any ideas how to make the Music Player re-scan the memory card each time?
Thanks again.

Music Player - file format not supported

Had a pair of headphones that didn't connect very well. The feature that pauses when headphones are removed is great: but when I used the bad headphones the music player started giving me the error: file format not supported (for all my mp3 files)
Replaced headphones and issue went away. I also got a software update so I cannot verify what build of 10.1 I was on.
Just FYI if anyone gets the "file format not supported" you might need new headphones.

I wonder if others agree or disagree that these are the current best solutions for transferring media from iTunes to my Nokia 3110 classic:
a) Nokia Multimedia Transfer (v1.4.2)
Good: Once configured it works automatically.
Bad: The iTunes playlists just don't show up in Nokia's Music player.
b) Salling Media Sync for Mac (v.1.1.5)
Good: The iTunes playlists DO show up in Nokia's Music player.
Bad: I need to individually tick all the iTunes playlists I want to appear in Nokia's Music player.

I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

If I go from 'Devices' to Summary and then Music, I only get one option-Sync Music,There is a box on this page but the options within it are grayed out. If I tick the Sync Music option I get this message-
'Are you sure you want to remove existing music,films,ect, from this ipod and sync with this itunes library?
'Music synced to (my ipods name) from other itunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this itunes library' I have only ever used itunes on this PC and the 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked but
that must be a default setting as I haven't ticked it.

Installed HP Officejet 4100 All-in-one does not appear in Control Panel printer selection window.

My HP Officejet 4100 Series 'All-in One' DOES NOT APPEAR in the Control Panel window even after several re-installs. The diagnostics indicate that the 4100 is not connected and dos NOT point to any path for a solution.
Attempts to download a current Driver, ( or re-load the 4100 "software" ), WILL NOT work because the 'help' page states the driver already comes with the 4100 software and therefore does not provide for any download update, (driver or software) for the 4100 printer.
I have reinstalled from the original Disk for the 4100 and also attemped install with Windows Update requested driver. Nothing works.

Hi there @Past77
Welcome to the forums
I read your message about your Officejet 4100 not showing that it's connected, and that you have attempted to run the Windows Update to see if that would help get the printer working again. You are correct that this model does not have a downloadable driver for Windows Vista, so your best bet would be to try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, to see if it can kick the printer into gear and have it functioning again.
If the tool does not work, I would then recommend looking in to a printer upgrade. Consider giving us a call to see what your options are with HP.

Nokia N8 - Music Player does not show track progre...

I am having this annoying problem after the belle refresh update. Earlier the music player used to show track progress bar perfectly. Now after the update it does not show progress bar most of the time while playing a song.
On further observation, I noticed that the progress bar shows up correctly everytime for the songs which does not have a album art embedded in it. But if I play a song with a album art, most of the time the progress bar does not appear at all.
Is anyone else having the issue? Try playing few different songs with album art attached. Hope nokia fixes this soon.
Also earlier tapping on the album art/icon used to display the volume up-down slider. Now that feature is gone. Since I use a hard cover, it's difficult for me to use the hardware volume buttons every time. Why did you remove a useful feature nokia?

(To Technical Expert)
I know about the hide lyrics/show lyrics option and have already used it. What I don't like is the progress bar that is displayed on the album art. Can't they remove the hide lyrics/show lyrics option and just place the progress bar above the (previous track, pause/play & next track touch icons) like it was in the first Belle Update for the N8 v111.030.0609? That 'Now Playing' view looked way better than it looks now because the album art was bigger and the progress bar was not displayed on the album art like it is now. Surely if they changed it to the way it looks now, they can change it back to the way it was before. It's just the progress bar positioning, I've been a Nokia fan for years and hope that they will make that small tweak.

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.

NOKIA 7610 music player show not enouph memory

my mobile show not memory when play music player
i have trying all condition but i could not take solution pleas help
or also it is not any softwre provider just like nokia provider in any mobile
please hep

Please remove unwanted files from the memory card, then reboot the device and try playing songs from the music library. It happened to me sometime back, and after a reboot it automatically got fixed.
Also you could try to restore the device to factory settings, and try performing a software update for the device.
NOTE: Kindly ensure that you take back up of the device completely before doing factory restore, or software update.

Nokia N96 Music Player DO NOT UPDATE Song's Cover ...

Hi,
I use Windows Media Player added a cover picture (a.jpg) to a song (abc.mp3), then transfer this song to N96 use PCSuit Mode,
After the transfer completed, open the Music Player in N96 and play that song (abc.mp3), the Music Player can show the cover picture (a.jpg) normally,
Then, exit the Music Player.
And again, use Windows Media Player to modify the cover picture of abc.mp3, this time, just change the cover picture to (b.jpg), then, retransfer the song (abc.mp3) to N96 in the same way.
After the second transfer completed, reopen the Music Player and play the abc.mp3, and found that Music Player still shows the a.jpg as the cover picture,
In the right way, Music Player should shows the b.jpg as the cover picture, I think Music Player may have cache the song's cover picture when it plays the song.
How to solve this problem? Where is the Music Player to cache the song's cover pictures in?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is a folder called 'private' which contains settings for various phone apps and their databases, but it's best not to play in there because you could damage any number of other elements of your phone.
If it is a bug, then check if you have already the latest software for your phone, as it may already be cured. If not, as a workaround, try deleting the track from the phone, updating the library and then retransferring the track.
There are also other ways to deal with album art which don't have this issue with teh N96 music player (I tested them all myself):

Nokia 5310 music player manual/automatic???

Hi, some months ago I've broke my nokia 5310 xpressmusic phone, today I've bought a new exactly like the old one but one feature I liked on my old phone was that when I went into gallery and open a music it automatly goes to music player and I could move forward/backward and skip music's in the same folder... Now, to open the music player I need to go to media open it and chose the music's I want to hear... If someone know how to activate automatly music player please answer this topic

the error you describe usually relates to the advanced track information in the IDv3 fields. i would suggest that rather than using iTunes, to edit the song information using Windows Media Player. however, first make sure the Album name in windows explorer is matching first, then import these songs into Windows Media Player. after that, right click on each song and select Advanced Tag Editor. for Track Info make sure the Album field is the same for all songs, and also that Artist and Album Artist (in Artist Info) are the same.
this should solve your problem, providing you are using a windows machine of course, not sure about mac

Nokia N96 music player stopped working?

I recently put some new music onto my n96 and then i went to play it on the music player but the music player won't work at all, i can't even open the albums,artists etc. I went to file manager and selected on of my tracks and opened it and it said unable to play file? It seems that my music player has dissappearred, can anyone help??

28days is your maximum for a replacement after that it's a repair. I know cause I've had the same problems spent over three days doing all the same things. just take it back & get your new one before it's too late.
I bought mine before christmas 18th Dec. took it back to Phones for you on sunday 31st. jan. we can only repair it.
even though it had never worked properly & i had proof of my emails to nokia the answer was still the same & that Phones for you should have been contacted not nokia as that was who i bought it off! now I'm without my phone for 2 weeks while nokia looks at it for me then i have to wait for Phones for u to get in touch to go pick it up.
Go change it if you have this problem.
wait at your peril!!

IPhoto albums not appearing in iTunes

Hi
I usuaully can fix these issues myself but this one has me frustrated. I bought a new Mac around 6 months ago and transferred all photos to the new computer. Everything was working perfectly. However, recently I have added photos to iPhoto in a few new albums. Now, when I try to sync photos with my iPad/iPhone all the old albums are there but none of the new ones are shown. I also cannot stream any of the new albums through to my AppleTV as they do not appear.
I have looked into the Home Sharing preferences in iTunes - File>Home Sharing>Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV and the new albums do not appear there either.
I've looked everywhere but cannot see why it does not pick up these new albums. Around the time, I put all my media on an external drive and changed the pathway but it all seems fine for my musice, tv and movies but not photos.
So they albums are in iPhoto but not in iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

If a new library worked then your current library is damaged. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
