Please, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, provide music equalizer...

This is an issue regarding the 'Nokia Music' application. I just got my Windows 7.5 phone updated to Windows 7.8 at a Nokia Care center. But I realized that even now there is no option for equalizer in Nokia Music. This is highly disappointing. Since the Windows 7.8 update isn't officially out yet, is there any chance that when it is officially released, the Nokia Music application is updated to include an equalizer? Without equalizer, the music sounds pathetic. There have been loads of requests on the Nokia forums to include an equalizer in the Nokia Music application for Lumia phones since the time Lumia 800 was released. People higly anticipated an equalizer in the 7.8 update, but it was never included. This shows that Nokia isn't bothered about even very basic customer requirements such as an equalizer. An equalizer for music playback is a very basic feature which even 5 year old phones have. Even other vendors provide their own equalizer application for use on their Windows phones. Its not at all difficult to include an equalizer in your 'Nokia Music' app. I mainly use my phone for music playback, and the lack of an equalizer on my Lumia 800 is VERY VERY disappointing due to poor quality of music playback. I'm sorry to say this, but I will NEVER recommend a Windows based Nokia phone to anyone due to very poor music quality, which is a direct result of an equalizer not being included. I agree that you're including an equalizer for Windows Phone 8, but it doesn't mean you have to abandon your Windows 7 users who have been waiting for a simple feature such as an equalizer since more than 18 months. I have used EXCLUSIVELY Nokia products since 10 years because of the faith I had in Nokia. But I'm sorry to say that this Lumia 800 will surely be the last Nokia product I would have purchased. You have lost a long time and sincere customer. No wonder Nokia's sales and revenue have plummeted over the past year. If you people can't provide even a basic feature such as a music equalizer in your phones, people are not going to buy your products. And you are not at all bothered about the feedback which people have been giving since more than a year. 
My sincere request - PLEASE, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, include an equalizer for Windows Phone 7.8 in your next update for the Nokia Music application. Or else, please recommend me any third party application or music player which supports equalizer. If this is not possible, at least provide some app for increasing the bass output. Don't say that I have poor quality headphones. I have high end headphones which produces excellent bass when connected to my PC or my old Nokia X6 phone. I don't mind paying for that application. This will surely restore my faith in Nokia as a brand. Please take this as constructive critisism.
Thanks and regards

I do have the latest update. I realized that the bass is reproduced only for mp3 songs with very high bit rate of 320kbps or slightly lower.
And yeah, I do have excellent quality JBL headphones.
because it offers excellent music output even for 128kbps music files.
Actually for low frequency reproduction the bitrate is much less important then you seem to think. Also I would gladly bet you will not be able to tell which is the 128Kbps mp3 against a 320Kbps or even a CD track in a blind test. Quality of MP3s is not just the bitrate, it can vary greatly from one encoder to the next. Could you let us know which headphones you are using?  I would agree that audio quality of the included headphones is bad at best.

  • For heaven's sake!

    Hi there,
    I've just changed my nano for this 80gb model today. It's brand new..sealed. Well, now I can notice that equalizer does not work. I can't notice any difference when it's on or off...I've tried all settings but the sound is the same!
    In my nano I can hear the different settings very well. I've done a reset but it did not fix it. I just can't belive it's defective!
    I'm a musician and I have good ears!
    Any tips?

    Yes, I'm sure it's not working. As I told before,I'm a musician and have very nice ears I could not notice any difference in ANY preset instead with my other nano.
    Now, I discovered that the issue is due to the way I put musics onto my ipod. I mean: If I rip a CD via iTunes the equalizer works fine since is encoded to AAC ! When I changed my old mp3 files to AAC and downloaded to iPod equalizer worked ! I just think this ***** because I have no problems like that with my 2GB nano.
    Maybe a firmware (I got the latest) issue ? Who knows ?
    Are you sure it's not working? I ask this because
    some of those options available to choose have some
    very subtle differences in the sound. Why don't you
    try something like the Bass Booster and see if you
    can hear a difference. Or go from Bass Booster to
    Bass Reducer and see if you can hear any difference.
    I've also read in these forums that if you make some
    sort of change in iTunes (equalizer wise) on a piece
    of music that it will take precedence over the
    equalizer settings that you may make on your iPod
    (or maybe the other way around, not sure) in other
    words, it will seem as though your equalizer on the
    iPod is not working.

  • When will be get decent sharpening for heaven sake?

    How many years has Lightroom been out now? And we still need to make a roundtrip to Photoshop for Photokit. It's almost 2010 and beyond ludicrous at this point (for this industry in general actually). Cut it out with the extra dingbats and get to the meat of the matter for heaven sakes. I would pay a grand for the package just for the time (money) savings.
    P.S. at least have the courtesy to have a "disable sharpening" switch when you edit (export) to Photoshop (just sharpening)

    J Ituarte, you didn't make clear which version of Lightroom you were griping about ineffective Sharpening in, or whether you were unhappy with image or print sharpening. You do need LR 2.x to get good image sharpening.
    And you may already know all this that follows, JI, but a lot of people who think sharpening in LR2 is still ineffective are unaware of this, so just to be clear, to see the effects onscreen of adjustments to image Sharpening (or Noise Reduction or Chromatic Aberration) in the Develop module, you **must** first zoom the image in, by either clicking in the image so that it zooms, or clicking the small triangle with the exclamation point in the upper left corner of the Detail box. If you move the sliders in the Detail box without making that triangle go away by zooming, nothing seems to happen. The adjustments are still being made, but you can't see them onscreen, which makes slider movement there a crapshoot. The level of zoom is 2:1 by default, but can be set higher in Library module to the right of where it says Navigator in the upper left.
    Also, some people don't know that to use Masking under Develop>Detail>Sharpening, you should hold down the Alt button on a PC while moving the Masking slider on a **zoomed in** image. What appears in white as you do this is what's being sharpened. So if you want the edges in a photo sharpened but not areas that should appear smooth, hold down Alt on a zoomed-in image and move the Masking slider so that only the details you want sharpened appear in white.

    buy an external HD   1TB for $60
    NO notebook is a mass storage device, so dont try to turn it into one, it doesnt work that way.
    Unless youre using it every couple weeks, its static data and should be on an external HD
    In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.  You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

  • How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    Try running Pandora in its own tab and leaving that tab open (Safari 7.1.5, OS 10.9.5).  I don't have Pandora to try this, but it works for me otherwise.
    Good luck

  • Please guide me in sharing purchased music. I purchased music, but can't get it to share w/another ipod

    Please guide me in sharing purchased music from my account to another ipod

    You have posted in the itunes u forum.
    Itunes U is where colleges, universities, and museums post educational content for students.
    Your question seems to have nothing to do with itunes U.
    What do you mean "sharing purchased music from my account to another ipod"?
    Do you mean you are trying to sync to your ipod?  If, so just sync it.
    If you mean that you are trying to give music to others, then this is not legal.

    Hi Lawrence,
    Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´   Those were good days..... What a City

    >> then I get a completely blue screen.
    That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
    And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
    Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

  • Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod?  I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files...but most are cds

    Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files, most of it is cds...

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

    Thanks, A Brody.  Don't know what the PRAM battery is.  Here are more details of the fault ... Although I've had the iMac for 5 years this may be the first time I've tried copying a video recording onto the DVD drive (I've made lots of CD copies without a problem).  The folder and files all seem to be reproduced in identical order on the disc but my domestic DVD player cannot make sense of the recording, unlike the original source DVD from which the files originated.  The drive has always been noisy but I've never assumed it shouldn't be!  Does this fit your PRAM battery theory?  If so, please explain more.  Thanks.

  • Reply for 5800 discusion- lack of music buttons

    Why we could'n use (after new firmware) green button as prev. red for next and white for play/pause songs while music player is on and phone is locked? I think that they could program that g.w.r. buttons are unlocked while m.player is on and phone is locked... Or i'm wrong?

    No problem, I could probably have struck a better tone. Couple of months away from 50 myself and don't always have the patience that I used to...
    Ouch on the Speedy PC Pro front.
    Believe me, I've been there. Beating my head against a brick wall, trying my own ideas and the ones I can find online, and nothing works. Sometimes we have to put the problem to one side and come back in a new frame of mind. Set yourself a time limit and know from the outset that you might not be successful in that session, that way it is not so frustrating if you're still no further forward at the end of it.
    The essence of the posts I've tracked down so far is a suggestion that your PC either can't see the correct servers to talk to, or having found them has decided they can't be trusted and therefore doesn't let iTunes do its thing. As I say this isn't an issue I've ever had, or read up on, so I don't have any instant suggestions for what to do next, but I will keep my thinking cap on.
    One of the linked threads I read mentions "an ongoing issue that Apple are aware of". It is best to take these claims with a pinch of salt, but there may be an identifiable common cause that is affecting you and a (relatively) small number of other users. Apple tend not to make pronouncements but they do keep working on improvments. Just because they can't/won't troubleshoot with you on an individual basis doesn't mean they do nothing. You might find the next build of iTunes fixes things for you regardless of what you do in the meantime.
    Your existing content isn't lost to you. It will still play in iTunes or on your Nano, and you can still import CDs to your library.

  • How can I get my ipod nano (6th gen) to stop making a static-y noise when I try to listen to my music? It has been doing this for a week and the music is faint while the static is louder than it.

    It has been doing this for a week and the music is faint while the static is louder than it. I try plugging it in to my iTunes and when I un-plug it, it still makes the loud static noise. I have also tried tapping my knuckle on the back of my ipod nano. This has not damaged it at all nor caused this to my ipod. There is no water damage to the ipod. Only a few scratches from a couple drops. The drops have been on concrete but not at a very high distance. How to I stop this? Do I need to replace my ipod instead?

    Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones?  You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack.  Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage.  You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
    I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?
