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 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!!

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 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

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.

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.

Nokia N8, Music Player - FM transmitting.

Hi hi, I´m using the FM transmitting option from the music player a lot.
But to turn this option on I have to:
1. Open the music player
2. Choose play via Radio
3. Than the phone opens the FM transmit window
4. Than you have to put FM transmit to: ON
Wy isn't it enough to open music player, choose play via Radio, and the FM transmitter turns automatically on ( on the frequency that you have already chosen anyway).
I think this is rather simple, but this extra step to turn on the FM transmitter is unnecessary !
What does mr Nokia say about this ?
Regards.

Hi kingblue,
The complaint is about the extra step needed to activate the radio. The requested behavior for the radio is like for the bluetooth hotkey: If it is off, then you want to turn it on. If it is on, then you want to turn it off.
Keep It Simple
Best regards,
Hans

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.
Ben

Nokia N73 music player tracks change

Hi, how can I change the tracks when I`m using my headset (HS-23). I can only change the volume of the music...
Message Edited by conroe on 09-Jul-2008 08:21 AM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

it seems you cannot change the track by using HS-23 since the button only for changing the volume. i think you can only change the track by entering the music player,or maybe if there is an available app to calibrate key or make a shortcut key, you can use it,but not from the headset,but from keypad.
Anyway, why dont u use another headset adapter that able to do so, like Nokia Headset AD-41, it has volume change,play/plause,and next/previous track button, while it also has 3.5 mm connector, so you can combine it with standard 3.5 mm headphone

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.
