Ovi player won't create N97 playlists

I am using the latest Ovi Player on my NAM N97 with firmware v20 and I cannot create playlists directly on the N97 from Ovi player on my PC (Windows XP). I can create a PC playlist using music stored on the PC, yet when I transfewr the eplaylist to the N97 all I get is the name of the list without the songs.
Accessing playlists on the phone will not work as the plus (+) sign will not let me select to add new.

I have to say I am absolutely disgusted with the level of support offered by Nokia for what was once their "flagship" model phone; the n97.
I have the same issue with my N97 v20(blank playlists on the phone after a transfer), except now, when I close the Ovi Player app on my PC, and go back in, most of my playlists have emptied themselves.
In my opinion the terrible PC software is the tip of the iceberg, Nokia have demonstrated time and again that they don't seem to care about their customers post sale. Just look at this posting...orignally opened in Jan and after 2 months no replies, no suggestions, no help.
If this was my only issue I wouldnt mind as much but after:
Lock switch slider falling off (repaired under warranty as a known fault)
Unable to turn phone back on due to residual charge in the sim card. (known fault)
Random crashes during phone calls (nokia screen just appears on screen and have to take battery out to fix it) (known fault)
(...the list goes on) I've lost all patience and faith in the company.

How to play/create a playlist in Quicktime?

In Windows Media Player, I can create a playlist- which is what I would like to do in Quicktime, but I can't figure out how to di it.
Or, is there a way to play .mov files in series with Quicktime.
If I have 10 .mov file, can they play automatically one after another- and then loop until stopped?
Thanks in advance for any help!

play all songs one after another of a chosen album?
That's what iTunes is for. The only way I know to do it in QT is if your entire album is in a single file (all songs in one file).
Alternatively, you may be able to find an Automator Action (see example) or an Applescript that could feed multiple songs to QT. There are a number of good Automator & Applescript sites on the web.

I got some books from the itunes store and put them into my library. I created a playlist so that I could burn them to cds. The title is there but no contents. It won't even play the playlist. How do I get the contents of the book?

N97 mini + Ovi Player + Memory Card

Hi,
I cannot find how to transfer music with Ovi Player just inside the Memory Card "F" of the N97 mini and NOT inside the Mass Memory. How can I set the Ovi Player to do that?
Thanks

Hello my friend,
I wonder if you solved your problem. If so could send me instructions on how to solve.
Thanks

Ovi Player only displays .mp3 files on my N97

Hi all,
I'm having problems with Ovi Player. First it caused severe problems with my music library app on the phone, which wasn't able to read any files from the file system. I managed to fix this by formatting the whole mass storage.
Later, after importing music files from PC to N97, Ovi Player doesn't display any.m4a files (which I ripped from original CDs using the very same application!), only .mp3 ones. Any ideas on possible causes and solutions?

How to change default Ovi Player store ...

Hi,
I need help from you people.
I had installed Ovi Player. Whenever I try to open Ovi Player, the default store gets’ open is "India". I change the store location to "Germany". When I do the search for particular music, it will again take me to "India" store instead of "Germany" store. In addition, most annoying is that I have to re-login but my user id and password will not work as its different store. Also when I go via music.nokia.de and try to login, it open Ovi player and since default location is "India", it takes me to India store and my login credentials do not work.
I ask Nokia care on how to change default Ovi Player Store location but they are unable to provide any good answer.
I already un-install / re-installed but won't work. Do any of you have answer to my problem? I want my default Ovi Player location to be "Germany" instead of "India".
More information, my regional settings have location as “Germany” and language as “English”.
Please help.
Thanks for your response.

I had got message from Nokia on how to correct this issue. This had solved the problem. Below is the mail from them ...
Dear Chakraborty,
Thank you for your response.
This error is sometimes caused by a corrupted MDataStore.db3 file used by the Ovi Player. This file will need to be deleted with the Ovi Player closed. Then open the player and the datastore file will be rewritten by the application:
Close Ovi Music Player and delete the MDataStore.db3 file:
Vista C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
XP C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
Both of these locations are in hidden folders. So, to view them users will need to:
Open Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Show Hidden Files and Folders
Once Ovi Music is opened again the MDataStore.db3 file will be rewritten to this folder.
  After that manipulation try to install the Ovi Player once again:

Spotify Won't Sync my Playlists

So I joined Spotify way back a million years ago and it uploaded my music and my playlists. That's all well and good. But it won't add the playlists I've created in Windows Media Player since then or sync any of the playlist changes I've made. How can I get it to sync this? These playlists are also in Google Play as well, so if I can't sync my Windows Media Player anymore, maybe I could sync to Google Play? Thanks so much!

Hello and welcome:
You will need to contact spotify support to fix you account issues. Please go to this urlhttps://www.spotify.com/about-us/contact/contact-spotify-support/?contactand fill out the contact form. If you get an automated response directing you back to the community boards reply back to that email, even if it is from a noreply and a customer support rep will get with you shortly.

Having trouble searching for music on Ovi Player

Hi,
Is anyone else having this issue? Since the Ovi Player was 'Upgraded' yesterday, whenever I search an artist's name in the search field at the top of the home page, the player thinks for a few seconds, then returns to the same home page. The only artists catalogue I can view are the ones already on the home page, or under the various playlists. I also found that the Sign In button didn't work and I had to sign in via the Music Account at the bottom of the screen.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help. I don't see "Server Share" anywhere on Easy Find. Am I missing something? What's frustrating is, I was able to find something out of an excel file made yesterday. The search paramater was something that was one character short of the entire content of a cell. When I search for something that would be contained in another, longer (sentence-sized) cell, it does not find it. I have:
Search For: File Contents
Operator: Any word
Comparison: Ignore Case
Include: Netiher are checked
"Scan all files" checked in the settings thing.
I just tried Find Any File, and I don't see any option that allows me to search within a file? Looks like I can only search names of files along with date created, etc.

Possible to let Ovi Player detect songs already on...

Well, I currently use iTunes Agent in order to sync my Itunes playlist to my phone using the Mass Storage mode.
However, I noticed that such songs do not get detected by the Ovi Player at all. I want to use Ovi Player in order to create playlists easily on my Nokia 5800 (it's hard marking individual songs to the playlist in the phone itself).
However, it seems that the Ovi Player is unable to detect songs in such a mode.
Why is this so?
I find this rather frustrating since the Mass Storage mode has far faster file transfer rates than in the PC Suite mode. Also, does this mean that if I reformat my computer or use another computer then Ovi Player would once again be unable to detect my songs on my fone?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ovi Player only supports MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) devices. This is required to ensure that the tracks are copied along with the licenses. In Mass storage mode, the files are copied on a bit by bit bases, which will not create a license on the phone. MTP is a wellknown standard for media transfers. Most of the Phones and MP3 players have MTP support and they all work with Ovi Player without any problems.
If you transfer the songs/playlist using the Mass Storage Mode, then refresh the music library on the Phone first and then connect the phone to Ovi Player. I would not suggest you to transfer Playlist using this method as it will not work on the Phone. It will be easy for you to create a playlist in Ovi Player and transfer it to the phone using Ovi Player. This will ensure that all the songs and the playlist are copied in a proper format, so that phone will be able to play it.

Can not transfer songs via Ovi Player to Nokia X6

Hi there....
I plug my nokia x6 in computer and select media transfer option in connection options.
Then I run Nokia Ovi Player on my PC. I used to transfer songs via it, but now when I right click "Transfer song to Nokia X6-00", progress does not begin and it says: " None of the tracks you are trying to transfer will fit on your device Nokia X6-00". And it says like 7,5 mb required, but 0,0 kb free, but I have 12 gigs free on mass memory and 130 mb on phone memory.
Sometimes progress starts and after a minute it stops and all songs I tried to transfer have on left side yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it. It says smth like transfer could not be completed, or transfer has problems...
Don't know what to do... Really I would like to transfer few more songs on my phone. I have 12 more gigs to fill up.
Do you think any reset ( soft or hard) would resolve the problem, or should I take it to the Nokia service?
( sry for my bad english )
Thank you.

Creating a playlist on the ZEN Style M100/300 using WinAmp

On WinAMP's left panel, right-click on "Playlists". Select "New Playlist...", then enter your playlist name.
2) Select the songs you wish to add to the playlist, drag & drop them into the playlist name you've just created.
3) Right-click on the playlist title example "John's Birthday Demo",select "Send to" ---> "USB Dri've H:" (assuming H: is your device dri've leter assigned to the player). The playlist and the songs listed in your playlist will be transfered into the ZEN Style M series player?
4) Safely disconnect your player from the Windows system ,then disconnect your player from the USB cable. The player hourglass icon will appear and spin for a while, this is to generate and update the player's memory since new contents are added. Once the process has completed, scroll to "Music" --> "Playlist" then select your newly added playlist title to play.
Note: Please make sure that you have already loaded the songs into the MUSIC folder of the ZEN Style M series player before creating the playlist.

How can I create a playlist from all songs in a single folder

On my D: drive I've got a folder called MUSIC. Under MUSIC I've got folders by artist and then album. I have no problems putting together playlists from these artists. But I have a few folders that are a combination of many different artists songs. I can't find a way to view this group in iTunes and create the a playlist from these mixed folders. It appears I'd have to hunt for all the songs individually through all my music and add them one at a time...a nightmare.
What I was hoping for was the ability to go to my MUSIC tab under my LIBRARY and add a column for file location. That way I'd sort them by folder location and grab them that way.
I created my playlist and tried to simply drag/drop the folder and/or the songs directly from windows explorer but of course that didn't work.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Drag them from where? I've tried to drag them from windows explorer and it won't allow me. It seems the only place I can drag files from is from the iTunes library list. The problem is there is no way that I can find to just see the songs from a specific folder on my drive in the iTunes library list. It sorts them by artist, album, genre, etc....but not by folder.

How to create a playlist *with* duplicate songs

I have a practice where I need to play a playlist with duplicate audio tracks. The audio tracks are not duplicated in the iTunes app and I don't want to duplicate them as audio tracks. I only want to create a playlist that will play the same audio track at different points in the playst. For example...
Announcement of beginning
Round 1
Announcement of task1
John Doe 1
John Doe 2
3 minute work window
Countdown of 10 minutes
Round 2
Announcement of task2
John Doe 3
John Doe 4
3 minute work window
Countdown of 10 minutes
Round 3
Announcement of task1
John Doe 5
John Doe 6
3 minute work window
Countdown of 10 minutes
Round 2
Announcement of task2
John Doe 7
John Doe 8
3 minute work window
Countdown of 10 minutes
As you can see... I need to be able to duplicate the playlist audio tracks at certain points in the playlist to create the event that I need for that day.
The problem is that iTunes sees that a duplicate track is put into the playlist and doesn't allow it. I end up with this as I can not readd an audio track that I have in the playlist already.

Is there no way to tell iTunes to allow duplicate audio tracks in a playlist?

Smart playlists and playlist folders won't hold duplicate entries, but it should be possible to put the same track more than once into a regular playlist. Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and click the button Reset Warnings... iTunes should now warn you when you try to add duplicate items to a playlist, but you should have the option to add the items anyway.

No Pro because Player won't install

I've just bought QuickTime Pro. Unfortunately I hadn't installed the QuickTime player before purchasing. Now I find that the player won't install: it looks for the QuickTime.msi file so that it can uninstall a previous version of the player, but the only QuickTime.msi I can find seems to be created during the attempted installation and the installer rejects it. I can't find a previous version of QuickTime anywhere on the system. The Windows uninstaller also reports the presence of QuickTime, but can't uninstall it. I've tried installing version 4 (which I've got on a CD) but the same thing happens. Any suggestions? I hope someone can help me, not only because otherwise I've thrown away £20, but because I need to get an animation into .mov format in the next two days for a showreel I've been offered a place on.

Thanks, that put me on the right track - it turned out there were quite a few QuickTime files scattered around from an old installation. In the end I downloaded a freeware uninstallation tool (Revo, as recommended in another thread) and got rid of the lot. The player is now installed. Now for the upgrade.
