Pantech P6020 Swift Car Music Player

I'm looking for a gift for my wife and I'd like to let her listen to music in the car. Right now she has a Pantech P6020 Swift phone that has bluetooth and can connect with USB.
Eventually she will be upgrading to an Iphone, so I'd like a car music player that can do pandora but right now just play music off the phone either through the bluetooth or USB.
Is there a music player that can do both?
thanks

Just to be clear, your wife currently uses her Pantech phone to stream music through the bluetooth in the car, but the Pantech phone can't play Pandora. You want to replace it with something that can do both. If that is correct, she will be all set when she gets the iPhone.
Pandora has an iPhone app, and the iPhone can connect and play over bluetooth in the car, so that takes care of both parts.

How do i stop my ipod touch from reverting back to the default music player everytime i get back in my car?

The only place I use my Ipod Touch is in my car that has an iPod connection and the steering wheel controls, but I mostly listen to audio books with the audible app. Everytime I get in my car instead of the iPod just picking up where it left off with the audible app it picks up playing whatever was last listened to with the default music player. How can I stop this? Although sometimes it will pick up with the audible app where it stopped when I last used the car (the time I spend with it not playing in the car doesn't seem to make a difference.). Just a little side question is there anyway to get rid of the newstand app, safari, messaging, facetime, gamecenter and all those other app that apple forces upon it's users?

There is nothing yo can do to return to the app you want.
You can't delete the apps that came with the iPod. Except for NewsbStand, you can put the apps you do not want into one folder and move it to the last screen

How can I stop the display dimming when plugged into a powersupply. Cannot read playlist in car using music player.

My new ipod seems to dim after a short time, even when plugged into a power supply, unlike my previous ipod, which used to stay illuminated
when plugged into the car stereo and external power
Now in order to see the playlist I have to swipe or touch the home button, using the music player. However using a GPS app, the screen stays
fully illuminated......as it should!
Is this normal now for playing music?
Also, the new grey on white menu display for music is very hard to read in the car in bright daylight.......unlke the old white on black. Nothing I
can do about that sadly except complain to apple directly :-(

Hi Diavonex. Yes I was aware of this option.
Subsequently I have done a litle research and downloaded a music app called "Track 8" which has a much clearer interface (larger type) and the abillity to change the background colour to dark or light.
This is much more readable in the car in bright light, and much better at night too.
You can also turn off auto-lock within the application, which is great, as it doesn't affect other apps.
Although this app is really only an interface sitting on top of the music app, it offers a much better experience
in my opinion that the stock player which seems to have devolved rather than evolved.

Using music player in a car

hi all
new user problem! I've just acquired a 5800 express music and so far so good. maps works ok now and i have only one blocker to a 100% good experience.
when using the phone as a music player in a car via line-out, with the phone connected to the radio via bluetooth at the same time, i lose the ability to use the car microphone for calls. I haven't found how tobluetooth music player; wired connection seems too be the way.
it seems that i lose the speaker connection as well; incoming calls cut the music off - ok, fair enough - but i do not then have ability to hear or speak to the caller.
when connecting the lineout cable i get the message 'use phone microphone' so i believe this is intended behaviour from the phone.
what i want to be able to do is either lineout or bluetooth music player to the car and then be able to make and receive calls using handsfree. it doesn't seem much to ask.
the car is 09my ford kuga. music player lineout cutoff to bluetooth worked fine with the last phone - sony ericsson 810 - so it's definitely a setup issue on the new phone.
bluetooth handsfree calls work ok with music player not running.
please advise me; what am i doing wrong/incorrectly/in ignorance? i'm obviously not seeing the setting to choose; it can't be true that 5800xm does not bluetooth music and won't cut off to bluetooth from an incoming call, surely...? it can't be intended that i have to unplug athe lineout connection, wait for all that to realign itself and go to hand operation while I'm driving, surely...
your advice is more than welcome!
regards
im

Thanks for the replies!
I only normalise when the volume is quiet, like when i rip audio from a video as usually videos are not very loud, ripping from a cd is normally ok so i dont normalise them unless i need to.
My stereo does have volume offset for each source but it only allows you to decrease the volume and not up it.
Sadly i dont have a usb input on my stereo, its the only thing it doesnt have!! And im not going to buy a new stereo as i have a £2000 limited anniversary edition Kenwood screen which is still better than most systems these days even though its from 2005.
I found a Fiio headphone amp on ebay but im not sure it will work without buying and trying it, might give it a go as its only £20.
For the moment what ive done is to crank up the gain on my external amplifiers in the boot which gives me enough volume when using the phone, then i used the volume offset to decrease the volume from all other sources so everything is about the same level.
After a bit of reasearch it seems that you are right about most aux inputs on car stereos being a bit quiet compared to usb or cd or radio, i dont know why this is, it seems silly to me that they do it like this but nevermind.
My Technics amp at home is totally different, it has a loud aux input so it seems not all stereos are the same........

Glitch with the Blackberry Music Player, Bluetooth, and my car.

My Z10 is set to link with the Bluetooth in my car when it starts so that I'm not distracted when a call comes in. My Satellite radio plays when the car starts. It appears that the phone may be trying to stream the radio (which I wouldn't want it to do)?
First I get a box that says:
1.
Playback failed
Unable to find media
OK
When I select OK to clear that message, it takes me to the Music Player Screen, which says:
2.
"Recent Music"
No Music
You can use Blackberry link to sync music
between your device and computer
To download Blackberry Link on your
computer, visit
www.blackberry.com/BlackberryLink
This is incredibly annoying! The message intercedes whatever I may be doing at the time. i.e. if I am typing a text message, it pops in over it. I use my BBY for a lot of things, but playing music isn't one of them. I wish I could just turn that option off - I have looked through settings and not found a way to disable the Music Player,or stop it from whatever it thinks it should do when I start my car. Any help would be appreciated. I am really trying to like this phone but so far, I'm not a fan.

Not a Glitch.
Turn off Media streaming, I tried it and it works.

IOS Music Player MP3 Gapless Playback Problem

Hi,
I've been having this gapless playback issue on iOS now for the past few years, since at least iOS 6 if I can remember correctly. The number one reason I use an iPhone and iOS devices is for gapless playback in the iOS music player. For the last few years I've been experiencing a bug with the stock iOS music player on my iPhone 4S using iOS 6 and on my iPhone 5 using iOS 6 & 7, and currently on my new iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2. This only happens on my iPhones and using iOS, this bug is not found when I use my iPod classic or when playing the same albums through iTunes.
I thought it might have been spotted by other iOS users and fixed in iOS 7.1 or at least the current version of iOS 8, but instead it's gotten worse, albums that used to play smoothly between transitions now suddenly pause and jump for a split second when changing from track to track.
What's happening is, I listen to a lot of albums that are continuously DJ mixed and play straight through without any pauses between tracks, and I've been experiencing problems a lot now with random split second pauses between tracks and choppy transitions. These albums in question have been ripped from cd using the latest versions of iTunes.
For example,
I'd be listening to an album and it would play gapless and smooth for most of the album, but maybe one or two transitions on the album would have a split second pause between them, and the rest of the album would play perfectly with no pauses, skips or jumps at all.
This only happens on my iPhone, as I have a 160gb iPod classic and I've listened to all the same albums on it and never has a problem playing the album without any pauses, every album plays 100% smooth and gapless on it.
I mailed Apple about it through their feedback page on their site... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Hoping that they would take note of this and try and look into it and fix the issue. That was probably about a year ago now, never got fixed or got any confirmation back from them about this problem. Then last August, I'd had enough and contacted Apple support to notify them about this issue. They told me the usual story, "have you tried restoring the phone?", which I obliged and did. The problem was there on a freshly restored iPhone 5.
So they told me that they would put me in touch with someone higher in Apple to take the case further, "great" I thought.
I spoke with a senior care advisor and explained the problem and agreed to send detailed explanations of the issue and test files too so that they could hopefully hear what I was talking about. But after a few weeks of going back and forward, I finally got them to hear the issue with the random pauses, the first week they denied there was a problem and said the files played ok on their test iOS devices, so I myself tried the files on another iOS device and the same problem was there.
The last correspondence I had with the Apple care advisor was back in the end of August / start of September, and she told me that they spotted the issue and was told by the tech's that it would be fixed in a future update, I never got a when this would happen, I was just told to make sure my iOS device was up to date with the latest version of iOS. I couldn't speak to an actual technician, got no follow up support, just a vague "We'll look into it." Case Closed.
I got so sick of this problem that I sold my iPhone and iPad just after this last phone call with the Apple people, and switched over to Android. I'd being reading up on gapless playback music players and found out that there's a good few available for Android devices. I got myself a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, twice as powerful as the iPhone 6 and half the price. I was using that for the last few months, and playing my music through Neutron Music Player app which is a great music player which plays gapless 100%
But I couldn't really take to Android OS, seeing as I've been using Apple products for around 10 years now and iOS since the iPhone 3G. So I decided to contact Apple again and see if they'd fixed the music player issue in iOS yet.
I wrote a long email explaining the problem, how it wasn't really looked at properly, and how I was a long time Apple customer and had to resort to switching over to Android because the basic music player functions on iOS devices have bugs. I took a chance in mailing this to Tim Cook's offices, I knew he wouldn't reply personally, just thought that it might get read by someone in his offices with a bit more say in the matter.
Just before Xmas, I got a call from someone from executive relations from my local Apple offices about this. He seemed nice and was aware of the problem from reading back through my emails and previous case notes from August when I opened this case originally.
We had a talk and he said he would get one of the tech's to call me too about this so that I could explain the bugs to someone more knowledgeable about iOS.
A few days later I received a call from one of the tech's at Apple and was chatting to him, explaining the problem. His response was that he thinks Apple doesn't support gapless playback on current iOS devices. From looking at the gapless playback information page on the Apple support site below, it looks like it hasn't been updated to show any iPhone models after the iPhone 3GS... http://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT201644
I was trying to explain to him how ridiculous this sounded, why would Apple stop supporting basic functions on their music player on iOS devices? It makes no sense at all? You can see that the amount of hardware devices and software that supports gapless playback today... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback#Player_support
He couldn't explain either, he just said that because it's not listed there on the Apple support page.
Then the next day I got the follow up call from the Apple executive relations guy, he was stating that he was speaking to the tech guy that called me and it looks like Apple doesn't support gapless playback anymore, from looking at the documentation on site.
I told him how stupid this was, and how lots of music players have gapless playback as standard today. And if they don't support it now, then why does it play through some parts of the albums on iOS ok and then just randomly pause, or have jumpy / choppy transitions on the rest of the album. If it was the case, no albums would play gaplessly at all, it would be like when the first ever iPod's were released back in the day with no gapless playback and would pause for a split second between every transition.
He couldn't give me an answer and said that maybe down the line they would start supporting it again, and that I should request the feature to be added to future iOS versions via the iPhone feedback page... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
He just kept on emphasising that it was "NOT A BUG OR ISSUE", trying to cover up the problem because the info on the site wasn't updated to show the current iOS devices. Which in itself is wrong, looking at the page it says "Supported iPod and iPhone models (make sure you have the latest iPod or iPhone software)"
iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS only go up to iOS 6, so that contradicts itself when the latest version is iOS 8.
The info is out of date and needs to be updated. So in August I was told, "we found the issue and will look into it" and a few months later, "it's not an issue", what's a cop out.
I was annoyed and taken back by this response, and really found it hard to believe that this was the case, Apple stopping supporting their music player on iOS devices. Seeing as iTunes plays everything smoothly and no gapless issues. I just went out and bought an iPhone 6 for €900 / $1060, and for that money you'd expect it's basic music player to work. It's total BS to think that a top computer software / hardware company would just decide to abandon basic functions in their devices, especially when we are talking about how much Apple takes pride in their products and how much more they charge for them over their competitors.
So this is my next step to try and get this problem seen and out in the open more. The more people who know about it and are aware of the issue, the better.
Hopefully more people can get the word around and get this noticed by Apple and finally fixed.
I've uploaded some test files below to show the problem. The files are mp3's and aac, and have been ripped from cd using the latest version of iTunes. The mp3's are the ones with the issue, but the aac play with no problem. If you listen to the transition at the end of track 2 (2-02 Colours (JH Re-Edit)) going into the start of track 3 (2-03 Your Body), you will notice the split second pause / jump. But listen to the aac version and compare it to the mp3 version and you will hear that it plays back fine, just as it's supposed to. Try them in iTunes too and both versions playback fine, no jumps or pauses.
You can download them here, all links have the same files, I just uploaded them to different hosts for other people's choosing...

https://www.sendspace.com/file/lubcmc
More files can be provided if needed to show the problem happening on various other albums.
I really hope that people can spot this issue too and help get this fixed, I know this gapless playback feature might not be important to some people, but like I said at the start, it's an essential function for me in a music player and I use it on a daily basis when I listen to music.
Thanks for reading this long rant of mine, appreciate it.
Ger

I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red. I know for sure that most of these marked transitions are indeed broken and that the most of the transitions not marked in red work flawlessly... I honestly can't remember whether or not some of these transitions were gapless or not, but the many transitions I do remember working or not working match up exactly with whether or not the songs on either side of the transition were also on other sides of the 256kbps threshold, the threshold at which I enabled iTunes to convert tracks to 256kbps AAC.
I'm going to try re-sync'ing my library with that "feature" disabled and see if it fixes my gapless playback problem. Will post the results once I test it out.

Nokia c5-03 gallery & music player problem.

Hi... I've been using My c5-03 for a while now.. Yesterday after transferring songs from my pc a few problems have come up.. 1) the music player won't refresh but i can listen to songs though.. 2) the gallery dissent doesnt show any photos or videos except those in phone memory.. 3) i'm unable to change my ringtone or message tones as only the default tones are alone displayed.. Please help...

Hi Rashmishra,
As the problem is persisting I would suggest returning to your local Nokia Care Point with your mobile device to see what options you could explore.

Looking for a good music player application........

Hey everyone,
I am still looking for a great music player app for the Bionic and wonder if anyone could provide some good suggestions. The apps I have tried have all had something wrong with it
1) The bionic stock app is ok, but the lock screen widget is very small and a pain when driving and have to be precise when hitting the skip button, otherwise, it dissapears
2) Google music app doesnt have a lock screen widget, wth?
3) Power Amp is probably my favorite, but has 2 big bugs...ill be listening to music thru my ear buds and when i get any sort of notification, the music goes thru the phone speaker, and i listen to my music very loud. Also, when listening to music and having navigation going at the same time, the music still plays when the navigation voice kicks in, on other apps, the music stops
4) MixZing doesnt have an option that allows you to go to the home screen from the lock widget, it only allows you to go the device lock screen making you have to unlock the phone twice
As you can tell, the lock widget is a big deal since I listen to music in my car often while having the navigation going. Any suggestions? I may just trash this phone with the data issues and drop another 300 for the Rezound since the reviews have been good (so far) but until then, was wondering if there is an all out good music app out there.
Thanks everyone!

Stock lock screen does not normally support 3rd party widgets so you wont find any third party players that allows you access while on lock screen.. As for the player I perfer Meridian Media Player Revolute from https://market.android.com/details?id=org.iii.romulus.meridian&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5paWkucm9tdWx1cy5tZXJpZGlhbiJd

Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external hard drive while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?

Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?

There is no setting in the iPhone to set another default music player. The default is Music. If you are using another application, you are at the mercy of how that application operates as far as what occurs when it stops or errors out. The car is looking for music to play.

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

How do I connect my i-pod to my car cd player

I would like to listen to my i--pod in my car. How can I connect it to my car cd player?

If your car CD player, doesn't have Aux input cables, either a 30 pin Dock connector or 3.5mm stereo jack, but have FM radio, you can get an iPod FM transmitter to transmit the iPod music to the car Radio.
Google or search Amazon or eBay for iPod FM transmitter, should cost less than US$30.
Have a nice day!

CD cannot play on car cd-player

I purchased some music from iTunes and burn them into a CD-R disk. The disk has no problem playing in my home cd player [ 2001 ] but it cannot play in my car cd player. The cd player comes with the car , Subaru Outback 1999. What's the problem ?

Thanks for your quick reply. It's Audio CD option and the disk is a Maxwell CD-RW. The cd player display shows 'TRACKING' and then eject the cd. I've been reading similar problem here and notice something about CD-R instead of CD-RW. I will give a try!

Music Player S^3 artist&album

I recently got a C6-01 and am very happy with the phone overall. There are a few questions I have about the way the music player deals with the library though.
1) Why do songs get categorised in the (Unknown/Unknown) category when the artist is known but the album isn't? This is rather annoying because there are quite a lot of tracks in the library that only have the artist information set, but they don't show up in the artist listing.
2) Can I select to play all the songs from a particular artist (without creating a playlist out of them) regardless of the album info? Again this would be very helpful since some of the tracks won't have the album info, and sometimes I just want to listen to a particular artist and not care so much about which album the tracks are on.
Neither one of these should be a problem technically, so am I just missing some menu item to get it done or is it not possible?
Thanks.

There are two "Artist" fields in the ID3 information in each track - a track artist and an album artist (this allows for compilation albums where a single singer or group did not make all of the tracks on the album), if some of these fields are not filled in, you may see strange things like this when viewing the tracks in the phone's music player. You can edit the track details in Ovi Player (they need to be copied to your PC, amended then compied back).

Presently, no. This is an omission from the S^3 music player that needs to be put right.
