Ovi Suite 2.0 Music Album Art

Just installed Ovi Suite 2.0.  I have been using Nokia Music for a while now to add music to my device.  I have configured my songs so Nokia Music recognizes the albums perfectly.  All I do is click transfer to device and bingo my phone displays everything I want.
The music tab in Ovi Suite seems to be lacking a lot. First, it does recocognize a lot of artist names and album names on my device.  So, it just lumps them into an Unknown category.  Nokia Music, however, recognizes and sorts them properly.  Second, most of the album art is missing in Ovi Suite.  When Ovi Suite looks at either my PC hard drive or my device, it does not recognize album art.  Nokia Music, however, does recognize the album art. Third, most of the functions provided by Nokia Music, such as sorting by genre are gone.
Would Nokia please fix this?

  • Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

    Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

    It does, under certain circumstances. If you are playing music and lock the phone or it locks on its own, when you wake it up, the album art will show. It also shows as the background if you are in the music app. If this is not exactly what you are looking for, you can submit feedback to Apple about this feature at www.apple.com/feedback.

  • Music Album Art and Blackberry Link Issues

    I have been using blackberry for ages and have never had an issue with the media sync, it normally has worked properly. i had the z10 when it came out and syncing my music via blackberry link had worked well also, music album art showed up on my device. However, since getting my blackberry Q10 this has all changed.
    1) I use a macbook pro
    2) I have the most up to date version of bb link
    3) I use a 16gb memory card 
    In the past two weeks since i have got the Q10, i have never once been able to get my music album art unto the the device, i have formatted the memory card over 10 times, i even went as far as doing a security wipe of the device itself. i have also gone into the file manager settings and and cleared the music folders, no joy!!
    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS!!! I used to love my music on blackberry especially with my album art which showed on the Z10 so why isn't it showing on the q10. i don't have the z10 anymore to check. 
    Futhermore now when i try to sync music on the bb link some song are not even being transferred unto the device as if it just randomly selects the music it puts on the device.

    Well, finally someone in the same boat as me. I use a Pc with windows 7. I previously had a Z10, switched to a Q10, with the same issues on both phones. Sometimes the artwork would show up, often adding a new song would corrupt all the artwork. I've even retagged all my mp3's, by wiping the metadata and reinserting the tags. No luck. I've formatted my phone, memory card, everything.
    Ironically, the same memory card inserted into my old Bold 9900 and 9700 work fine, displaying all the artwork correctly.
    I have spent hours, maybe even DAYS trying to fix this horrible problem. Someone help us!!!
    I should add that now all of my albums are in individual folders, completely correctly named, with the latest ID3 tags. Even bypassing BlackBerry Link, and just using USB mass storage mode doesn't change things.

  • IPhone4 Music album art swapping with other albums?

    So my iPhone 4 has been going through some issues since the release of 4S:
    Slow performance; freezing whilst receiving messages (both iMessage and standard txt); phone vibrates and makes the noise, then 30 seconds later lights up with the alert/notification on the screen.
    But the strangest of all, is that randomly the music album art swaps with each other. What is clearly a male artist and his album art, randomly gets Kylie Minogues Album art? However, in iTunes, the album art is correct? I have repeatedly Sync'ed, however, don't want to "restore" the iPhone. But I feel I am fast approaching this as my final option.... :-(
    Any idea's?
    This might be the conspirer in me - but issues like this occur whenever Apple bring out the newer version of the iPhone... a plot to make us upgrade out of frustration?
    Many thanks,
         BN0079

    Hi, mine's having the same issue, but only of late. I have posted a similar question on here - but judging from your's being posted in August lol - maybe I won't have any luck.
    My next stop is to delete all albums and music from my iPhone4 and then BackUp. I'll restore my phone to factory settings and start again.
    If that fails to solve the issue, Apple will have to issue me a new phone over the Genuis Bar in-store. :-)

  • Music album art and movie chapter shot mixed up

    Hi I am new here.
    I just noticed that the album art for my music and the shots in the movie chapter got mixed up. more details:
    1) for the music, the album art are correct in the album view of iPod, and the blown up image when the music is playing. However, when I clicked the back arrow to get back to the main iPod screen, the album art in the lower left hand corner under "Now Playing" is messed up. it could be a) cover from another album 2) a question mark 3) a random shot in one of my movies (Monster Inc. if this is helpful...)
    2) in movies, when i click on chapters, the chapter image for some movies which I bought from itunes are messed up. they could be some random shots from other videos (not movies) that i transfered myself. However, some movies (e.g. Monster Inc.) do not have this problem.
    I didn't pay attention when this started to happen, but i am pretty sure at one point everything is alright... so... is there are way to fix this besides trying to delete everything and add again (I do not sync my library for music and movies, only pictures...)
    any advise would be much appreciated... and oh... i have the most updated version of the firmware...
    thanks much in advance

    I have the exact same issue, with videos that i own the electrionic version, including home videos.

  • IPhone Music Album Art DB is strangely huge

    I have an iPad and an iPhone. Both get music from the same source. Both take the tracks from my computer's library, downsize them to 128kps and there we are. However, the on-device Art Database sizes are very different and not in the way that makes sense. The size of the DB files was gathered using iPhone Explorer.
    iPad has 4225 tracks. Art database is 2408MB
    iPhone has 2334 tracks. Art database is 3104MB
    A vast majority of the iPad library and the iPhone library overlap, so there is ZERO reason why the iPhone art DB takes up more space than the iPad's, unless something else is stored there that I dont understand. There are more FILES in the iPad DB, but they are overall smaller files. Each iPhone DB file is 200-500 MB. iPad DB files can be between 12-500MB
    See the problem? Any thoughts? Any idea where I could direct this problem to, even? I just don't get it.

    I used ScareZebra's solution (iFunBox for mac) and it worked great to FINALLY fix this issue.    My library artwork was totally messed up, using mostly video image stills and other photos for album art and no amount of deleting or resyncing was working.
    It didn't seem to work right away, but after turning the phone OFF/ON* my artwork started refreshing and everything is perfect now.  I also added a step (directly deleting the artwork off of the phone, which I think may have been key to my particular situation)*.  Here were my steps.
    1.) Installed ifunbox for mac on my computer and launched
    2.) Plugged in iphone and navigated to RAW FILE SYSTEM/iTunes_Control/iTunes folder
    3.) Copied the following 3 files to my desktop (for backup, just in case), then DELETED from the phone: MediaLibrary.sqlitedb, MediaLibrary.sqlitedb-shm, MediaLibrary.sqlitedb-wal
    *4.) Copied the contents of the ARTWORK folder to my desktop for backup (just in case) then DELETED from the phone - Left the empty folder there
    *5.) Turned iphone OFF and then ON
    This worked and everything is back to normal.  I haven't noticed any issues. 
    Thanks for figuring this out ScareZebra!

  • Ovi Suite to sync music from Network Drive

    Ovi Suite will not allow me to select a Network Drive as the source folder for music - is this just a problem for me, or is this a fetaure of OviSuite ?
    Tks

    You stated in JANUARY 2010 that this was a much-requested feature, and yet it is STILL NOT incorporated into Ovi Suite.  This is absolute rubbish.  Many of us have networked media drives and cannot sync them with ovi suite.  What century are you guys living in??
    I have always copied my music to Nokia phones with file system. Today I tried for the first time in a loong time if Ovi suite is no longer **bleep** and understands this wonderous thing called networking.
    It doesn't.
    I don't get it, I don't get whats hard about it nor why it is not concidered to be priority problem to be fixed.  I guess Microsoft is coming up with the new sync application and development of Ovi is halted?

  • Music Album Art

    Hi, I have a new ipod touch 4th generation. And having problem's downloading my music from Windows Player, which I had already arranged my albums with titles and correct album art.
    But when they downloaded on to the ipod the albums are split into singles and no album art. Please can you help me to fix this problem?
    I tried so far by going into Advanced and clicked on "Get Album Artwork", it runs through and then finishes by saying Apple could not find 356 Album Artwork.
    I've also tried to drag and drop the singles back into albums, but they will not move, how can I edit my music?
    Thanks!

    If the album is a various artists album, it needs to be marked with *Part of a compilation* and have *Various Artists* typed into the *Album Artists* field.
    So highlight all the tracks from that one album and select *File/Get Info/Options* and change *Part of a compilation* to Yes. *Album Artists* is on the Info tab.
    For all albums, (single artist or various), make sure the *Album name* is identical for every track on an album.
    As for the artwork, first question is what format are your songs in, MP3 or WAV? You cannot add artwork to WAV files, Window Media Player uses a special method for adding art to them, which only WMP can do. To get the artwork for MP3s, copy and paste it into the artwork box for the album. iTunes is unlikely to prove the best way for you to add art to existing MP3s.

  • Ovi suite cannot access music

    Hi,
    I accidentally aborted a music file transfer from PC to phone N5800 by computer shutdown.
    Now when I start Nokia Ovi Suite, it seems not to have access to the music folder on my phone. Everything else works, but it shows 0 music files on my phone, although there are plenty on it. Also, when I try to synchronize music, I get the error message "files cannot be transferred" (translated from German) for each play list in the Ovi Suite. So obviously, it can neither read nor write music.
    I tried to reinstall the operating system on my phone, and to reinstall and update Ovi Suite. Both was unsuccessful.
    I would use Nokia Ovi Player instead, but that does not connect to the phone (neither in PC Suite nor in media transfer mode). It still tells me to connect my phone, switch it to media transfer mode, and press OK, but does not recognize the phone when I do this. And PC Suite has not integrated music manager, as I understand.
    I can copy the files one by one in "file transfer mode", but then they are not linked with the phone's music player, and it is far from comfortable.
    I would be either happy with a working Ovi Suite or Ovi Player
    Phone: Nokia 5800 XPressMusic, softwareversion 40.0.005.C02.01
    PC: Win XP
    Nokia Ovi Suite: 2.0.2.42
    Nokia Ovi Player: 2.0.1106.00
    Connection: USB
    Thank you. 

    This enables me to use the mass storage mode to add music, so it is a bit better now. Thank you very much!
    However, I still cannot use Ovi Suite or Ovi Player. The problems stay the same.

  • N8 Ovi Suite not finding music on my PC

    Ovi Suite has an option in the File menu to add folders, or files to the library. When I do this a little tick appears at the bottom of the app with the message 'Folder added successfully' or words to that effect.
    But there's never anything in the view, even after refresh.
    I've copied all my music to my N8 using Windows Media Player and Ovi Suite will see the library on my phone, but not on my PC.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi,
    Sometime the caching of data takes alot of time.. Exit NOS from the system tray and then make sure to end process of NokiaMplatform from the task manager.. then open NOS. Wait for sometime and hopefully all your watch folders data should be seen in the library..
    Cheers

  • OVi Suite Album Artwork Problem

    I have installed Ivi suite 3.0.0.250 and I am aslo running I,Tunes version 10 which stores all my music.. I have changed the music folder option in Ovi Suite to use the  I.Tines folder and aslo instructed Ovi  to watch the I tunes music folder for any new changes.
    Whilst Ovi suite has detected and shows all the music from itunes it has not brought over all the album artwork. this appears to be completly random. There is (as far as i can see) no wayof adding the missing artwork in the ovi suite.The artwork shows perfectly in I Tunes and on my I Pod
    I have deleted all 28000+ tracks once and tried again but it has made no difference.
    I would like to use Ovi rather than itunes to create and sync a playlist to my Nokia C7, but will not do so whilst this problem persists.
    I run windows xp, I Tunes Version 10 and Ovi suite 3.0.0.250

    Hi, i have a C7 and when i downloaded music files to it using Ovi Suite none of the album art appeared on the phone. I replaced a N85 with this phone and on the N85 there is an option to replace the album art with any image.The C7 doesn't seem to have this option. Anyway after trying a few things i still could not get any artwork on the phone so i installed Ovi Player and used this program to download the music to the phone and it worked perfectly with all the proper artwork installed. You could try this program and seeing that you have a lot of music it might be better for you. All the best

  • Music in Ovi Suite

    Is there any way to change the artist or other information of songs? Half of the music in my n8 are now with an artist name "unknown" in the music player. Problem is solvable in Windows' file managing but it takes time and I think it should be able to be done it in the Ovi Suite.

    I don't think this helps your current your question but i hope it proves useful for the future. I have a C7 and when i used OVI Suite to download music to it, it did not have any images on the albums. I then installed OVI Player and when i downloaded music to the mobile using that program the albums all had their correct images. You might want to try OVI Player and see if it works better for you. I have my mobile less than a week so i am still trying out the programs.
