Palm Pre Music player freezes on Protected format songs (previously it would skip them)

Ever since the last Palm update my Music player has been misbehaving.  Before the update when playing my music the player would simply skip over any songs that were protected format (the kind it can't play from iTunes.) It would skip them and play the next song on my list.  Now it just freezes and stops playing.  I'd simply remove the songs but ever since the iTunes sync was broken I can't seem to remove the files from the phone that were previously synced by iTunes.  I need to EITHER find a way to get those old songs off the phone, OR the music player needs to skip them and keep playing, though both would be preferable.
Thanks.

Yes it is quite fast within the stock Xbox Music player in Windows Phone 8. As Jimmy has said, just press and hold the next track button and it will fast forward the song. It is proportionate to the length of time you hold the button, so the longer you hold down the button, the faster the track will fast forward. Don't do it for a few seconds, you'll be at the next track by then!
Took me a while to find things myself. What's not stated in the user guide is that to bring up the list of tracks within an album (while playing a song), tap on the area just above the three dots (...) on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. To get back to the list of albums for the artist you are listening to, tap on the artist name while you are playing a track.
Don't know why they don't mark an option on the screen or tell you this stuff in the manual but its there mate.....

  • Palm pre - when replying to messages - all formatting in previous messages is lost

    with the pre - if I reply to an email all the formatting is lost.  eg -get an email, I reply to that email, all the people that I reply to lose all formatting when they view the message that I sent in reply - it is like all the hard returns are lost and they see just one string of content..  Do others experience this issue?

  • 6288 music Player freezes and locks phone

    My Nokia 6288 when I start the music player freezes. I goes into the music player says "starting music player" then freezes in that screen. I can press cancel to un freez it but that makes all the phones applications fail and then the phone will then turn off and not turn back on. The only way to reset it is to remove the battery. everything will then work until you try to start the music player again..

    Had a simular problem, it got stable after a few trips to the Nokia service centre....

  • 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 E-5 music player does not show all songs. Th...

    my Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. The filemanager does though. have tried every damn thing that i could, from the internet. no solution yet. Nokia wont address it. any solutions? please dont ask me to refersh my music player. nokia now manufactures stupid phones, instead of smartphones..
    can any one help, friends? the last option i have to sell it off and wait for an HTC qwerty mango 7.5 phone

    I perfectly understand that this is frustrating and of course Nokia should adress this.
    I do not work for Nokia so maybe you could contact them. I see you have been to a care centre and reset it, but hopefully by contacting them by email they can log the issue for further work on firmwares?
    I hope this sorts out. Have you btw, tried with some other memory card?
    If it's not too much of a struggle, try backing up everything you have on it and format it, then reboot the phone which will recreate the needed folders and then drag and drop your stuff back to it and check again.
    Hope you get it solved mate!

  • Showing Chinese Characters in Pre Music Player?

    Does anyone know how to show music files with Chinese names in a palm pre? Cuz, I tried to drag music files into my pre and the first time it shows the Chinese characters but then when I drag more files, it stops showing the Chinese characters. Instead it shows some weird letters.

  • E52 music player freezing

    it freezes a lot - esp when im tryin to open the music player, it will freeze for about a minute or 2 - then open..... !! grr! how can i fix this?
    E52 - Product code 0585050

    1: Connect it to PC in "Mass Storage" mode, and run Checkdisk on memory card under windows.
    2: Connect in "mass Storage" mode, Copy all your data from memory card to hard drive. format memory card, now copy back only your music to "Sounds" folder.  Disconnect, open music player.
    if everything is working fine, connect again and copy back all your data. 
    Otherwise
    3: BACKUP YOUR DATA from phone memory too, take out card, dial this code *#7370# enter your lock code, default is 12345. (Make sure you have enough battery power)   it'll wipe c/phone memory.
    Good luck.

  • N91 music player freeze up

    hi, i just got my n91 a few days back...there's a problem bugging me..my music player keep freeze up after playing a few songs. On the main display it shows the song is still playing but the time won't work and i can't access my music menu or main menu..i will need to switch off my phone..is this a hardware problem or my firmware problem? thanks in advance...

    I don't think the Hard Drive is causing the problem.
    Can you resume playback if it stops? or is the phone hung (does it still work?)
    Do you have songs that have special characters or something in the metadata?, i.e. do they have chinese or other language characters?
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • N95 Music player freezing issue

    Ok I have tried many a place to find a fix to my issue. When I am playing my music, every now and then it fades out and then in again in a about half of a second frame and the screen freshes from the screensaver to the music player background. It is not a matter of an alert going off, an incoming call or battery life. I just hate it when I am playing the music and it fades like a cheap DJ trying and failing to do a cross over lol.
    Thanks for the read all
    Solved!

    No worries figured out the config that was causing the freezing/crashing.

  • Music player requires title attribute for song nam...

    Hi, I just transferred a set of music to my yellow Lumia 920. Some of the song names do not show up in Lumia music player, and i found the reason : for some of the files, the music file uses the attribute "title". For those files, the song name works (it's that "title"). But for some files, the title attribute is empty and there is just file name. For those, the song name does not show up (that is : Lumia does not use the file name as song name, but it requires the "title" attribute).
    Now my question : what would be the easiest way to overcome this. Either how to tell Lumia to use file name is title field is missing, or how to fast copy the file name to title field? Or something else.
    (I did not use Zune for file transmission but transerred the files by copy&paste method. I've got an old XP computer that do not quite understand modern devices like Lumia...;-)
    Thanks!
    Ari

    I ended up doing it by hand. That is, copy filename to "title" attribute. There are not so many of those files afterall.
    Another interesting things that I've discovered during my "iPod => Lumia mp3 migration"
    - if I've done my own mp3 albums, all mp3 files should have a same "album artist" value e.g. "various". Othervise, each mp3 with different album artist will appear as a separate album
    - disconnect xbox music service. It obviously search for album names etc from xbox, but at least with my music collection it screws everything. It may e.g. divide one album in two parts, each part having different genre.
    My favourite music player currenlty is "musicPlayer 8 free", since it allows selecting a genre, and then albums on that genre.

  • N95 Music Player Freezes While Refreshing Music Li...

    Hi,
    My N95 Freezes when I select the option: Refresh Music Library. It just tells me how many it has found and it stays that way until I turn off and On the phone!
    I tried removing the memory and putting it back in but still no luck. Its funny how when there is no memory card in, it refreshes it successfully! without freezing!
    I have also tried deleting all media from my memory and copying them back in again.. yet.. not luck.
    It wasnt like this until I updated my firmware to the latest one being: v 12.0.013.
    Is there anything I can do to fix it? Is it normal?
    Thanks ALOT!

    Hi Babeygyal,
    I think Korngear is saying that each folder should only have a maximum of 1000 music files.

  • Music player won't stay on song when phone charges. Anyone have a solution?

    I'm running 7.0.6 on a 4s. Ever since the iOS 7 original update, my music will not play right. If I'm in the middle of a song and I pause it for the night and charge it, in the morning it goes back to the playlist instead of letting me hit play and continue listening. Tried factory reset already per tech support's only solution.  Anyone solve this?

  • DELETING DUPLICATE SONGS - PALM PRE

    I am unable to delete duplicate songs on my Palm Pre music files. I'm not even sure how the duplicate songs showed up in my files.  I have tried everything. I use I tunes &  I have set all audio defaults to Itunes. I also use the Palm Music Assistant.   I have called Palm and Sprint support. Both have told me to "right" gesture to delete but the songs come right back.  I have also deleted duplicates in the I tunes music player (file) but it has no effect on the Pre's music files.  Has anyone experienced this problem?  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks. 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I asked someone at Palm to take a look at this issue. It's new to me. It makes me wonder if you perhaps have two processes synchronzing media to the Pre - do you use MissingSync and iTunes on a Mac perchance?
