Nokia N96 music player problem

Hi,
I've had my N96 for a while now. The main reason i bought it is my music. I have updated to the latest firmware BUT the music player is still slow as. main problems are:
1) playlists/etc taking ages to load.
2) click on a song to play and the phone just waits then does not play the song and just goes to the end of playlists.
3) i have to play every song by left click --> play --> on device cause of the above problem
4) The worst problem is when the phone is playing a song. if i press back it honestly takes 3 minutes to go back to the playlist. so to avoid that i just press left click exit.
is this related to general slowness of the phone? please tell me how to fix this issue and if its general phone slowness how to fix that too.
oh and can i remove this music player and get another one? like another application to play my music. im seriously getting to the stage where i would like to throw this phone at a brick wall.

Try to do a factory reset by keying *#7780#. Then updates music library. The phone needs time, for it is indexing all media files. Check also if their is some apps working in the background by press hold the menu key & close it, it slow down the indexing. Mines takes more than a week before it becomes snappy on music files.

  • 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!

    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 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!!

    WAITING FOR NEW UPDATE THANKING YOU

    1st take out battery for 10 min and try again
    If it still happens after installing firmware do these (these may delete data so back up your phone)
    1. Back up data and resintall firmware. Take out memory card and use disk check to clean out possible errors.
    2. If it does not work, format memory card
    2. If reinstall does not work, type in *#7370#
    3. If it still does not work, turn off phone, remove memory card and battery for 10 min, then reinsert. While booting up hold the green, red and camera keys until you see the country selection or language screen.

  • Nokia n96 music player

    Hi,
    I've transferred music onto the mass storage using windows media player. They are all mp3 files that I used to have on my old n95, so I don't think there's any DRM issues. I can see (and play) the new music in file manager, put if I hit refresh library in the music player it sits there for ages saying refreshing and doesn't find any music. I left it overnight and it still found nothing by the morning. Does anyone have any ideas what's gone wrong? I've looked on here and can't seem to see anyone else who's having the same problem I don't think.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Before opting to reformat your phone, you could try my advice.
    Just to be safe, make a backup of your phone first to avoid losing any personal data.
    You could try to "fix" the file corruption that has happened to the storage media where your music is stored.
    1. Connect the phone via USB (Mass Storage Mode)
    2. Take note which drive your music is stored in your phone (D:\ or E:\ or F:\ etc)
    3. Make sure you close all Windows Explorer windows (or any software accessing your phone's storage)
    4. Open command prompt (in Windows XP: Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt)
    5. On the command prompt window, type:
    chkdsk F: /f
    *Note: replace "F:" with the drive letter of the storage media where your music is located in your phone (refer to step 2)
    6. Press the ENTER key to start checking your storage media for errors and automatically fixing them. If it asks:
    Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
    process.  Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first.
    ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
    Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N)
    Just type Y then press ENTER. The checking/fixing might take a while. You should be able to refresh your Music Library without any problems
    Goodluck.

  • Nokia 101 music player play only first 20 songs

    hi friends ... i have a problem...whenever i download songs in my memory card,my music player play only first 20 songs,and other songs show me format error.... please help me what can i do with this ????
    Moderator's notes: Moved into it's own thread

    I am experiencing exactly the same problem. I recently purchased Nokia 3555 and HS-49 headset to listen to music in stereo. However, I only get mono sound from the right. I called customer care services before I purchased HS-49 and they said it's compatible with Nokia 3555. Yes, I can listen to music, but it's not in stereo. I turned on "stereo widening effect," but it doesn't change anything.
    Accoring to the catalog on the web, the phone has stereo bluetooth capability...So, I think it should also produce stereo sound through a wired stereo headset especially with HS-49 which is listed as a compatible headset.
     I really appreciate if anybody can teach me how to listen to music in stereo on my Nokia 3555.
    Thanks

  • Nokia E7, music player? Symbian belle Refresh.

    Hi Mushroomlolz,
    Sounds like a problem with metadata in the music files. I recall this happening to me also when upgrading from Symbian Anna to Nokia Belle. The way the metadata of music files is handled differently in Nokia Belle and Nokia Belle Refresh, therefore you will need to locate the offending files and use an advanced ID3 / metadata tag editor on your PC to edit the metadata tag information so it will display correctly on your device.

  • 5800 v50 music player problems

    i just updated my 5800 to v50 and had a few annoying problems with the music player... first when i opened the music player refreshing the library took eons and it seemed that it stuck at 10 files added... then i finally i decided to delete all the mp3s for the phone and add them using the ovi player but sometimes when i touch a song to play nothing happens and then i can't exit the player only by turning the phone off and when i do sometimes the phone gets stuck at a black screen and then i have to remove the battery and reinsert it to make the phone work again!! i don't know what other problems this version of firmware has but i regret updating!! before this i had v20 and was very happy with it

    1. Complaining may or may not bring it back in next release. The usual modes is snail mail to your local Nokia Head Office or the Contact Us button at the top of the page.
    2. Downgrade is not possible without a heavy risk of bricking the phone.

  • Nokia N8 music transfer problem

    Hi!
    I bought yesterday Nokia N8 and I tried to start music player with some default music. But there was no default music in there...
    Today, I've installed Ovi Suite and with Suite I send some music to N8 (USB connection, Ovi Suite type of connection) and Ovi Suite said it sends music to the device but N8 constantly show 'Transferring music' and I shut down it.
    After reset I didn't see any music in N8 Music Player, but in Ovi Suite I saw some obviously default music and music that I've send (??) ... OK.... I decided to delete everything when I did it... then I saw music in the device in Music Player (one song Summertown) and I tried to delete it but it was mission impossible...
    I tried to find it through Windows Explorer (Win 7) but I only found folders of my music... empty, but there's no Summertime song there....
    Then I tried to connect to laptop in multimedia transfer mode (till then I was connected in Ovi Suite mode) and then I started to Ovi Suite but when I click on Music tab I got message in Ovi Suite:
    "Music initialization failed"
    "Unable to initialize the music service on the device"
    Please help me, how to move music to N8 in way that N8 recognized it? And how to remove that Summertime song??
    Is only solution to reinstall Symbian?
    Bye... I hope to hear someone soon!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you!
    It was helpful...
    Main problem was that I didn't refresh my music collection on N8 .... I knew that I'm supposed to do that... but... I didn't see refresh button ...
    Problem with constant transferring still remains in Ovi Suite mode, but I haven't that kind of problem in Mass Storage mode...
    Maybe device should be more straightforward... For now it is complicated ...
    Bye, thank you all for advices!

  • Nokia 6300 Music Player Crash

    Hi There,
    I have a new 6300. I have a fully formatted 2GB card in it. I have used Nokia Music manager to transfer and convert the file to M4A files. I was filling the card up reather well and still have about 1Gb free.
    I when I update the libaray it finds all the 500+ track on the card.
    When I try to use the libaray to get an album to play, the phone locks up for a few minutes and then resets itself.
    I am finding it nigh on impossible to use the music player.
    The biggest selling point was that you could put lots of music on the card.

    it went fyrther than that now, the library decided to corrupt itself. I wasn't showing the right artist name against the tracks.
    Thanks for the reply.... it does the same even if it mp3 format.
    This is the first nokia I have had problems with.. my 6230 and 6230i were both better.

    HI even my phone has stopped responding. I had a backup file in .nbu format created using the PC suite. I restored the phone using the backup file but it didnot help me. I cannot play even 3 songs consecutively, the player is getting hang and I am forced to restart. Please do not update your firmware. All the problems after I updated my firmware to 40.0.005 version. I am planning to take my phone to nokia care and reset the whole software once again so that it comes with the factory settings.
