Nokia :: 5230 Transferring Music / Does Not Appear In The Gallery Section Of The Phone
Jun 17, 2010
Despite emailing nokia directly on a number of occasions and receiveing no reponse.I tried transferring music,mp3, using onto my phone although it states it is successful the music does not appear in the gallery section of the phone.
This is my fourth nokia and to be honest my last.
I have a bog standard Samsung that was able to achieve this task.
I have just bought a nokia 5230, and i'm shocked to see that gallery doesn't show the memory card contents! Why is it so? please help... the memory card could be read in the file manager though
Ive recently got a sony ericsson xperia x8 for christmas and I love it, except for a number of problems 1. When I try transferring music and other files from my computer onto the phone it comes up with an error... I have tried many things I have read online but none of these have helped.2. I can not connect to wifi in my house, it asks for the password so i type it in but it always says that it is wrong..
I have a strange problem with my nokia. when i hide music player i don't have the control panel for music (this one selected on pic) how can i bring it back? becouse is so uncomfortable
I am happy to report success in copying music files to my LG enV3 (VX9200)! I have now loaded 2000 music files onto a 16Gb Micro SD card and gotten the phone to properly read <title>, <artist>, <track>, <album>, and <genre> for all of these files. Unfortunately, this was only after much trial, error, pain, and suffering.Here's what I have deduced about how the enV 3 wants to see music files organized:
1. To avoid silly mistakes, do use the phone to format your Micro SD card.
2. But to save time and achieve reliable transfers, move your music onto the formatted card using a USB card reader, plugged directly into your computer. Putting the phone into USB Mass Transfer mode, or trying to use the 'Sync' routine, is slow at best and ends up in failure more times than not.
3. Music files go into the "my_music" folder on the card.
4. Within "my_music", what works well is the following directory structure: my_ music /<artist>/<album> /<track>_ <title>But you have to follow some special rules:
5. The enV 3 doesn't seem to like like spaces or special characters in directory or file names, and I think it wants only one period (the one before the .mp3 extension). Special characters include the 'usual suspects': . ^ $ | ? * + [ ] ( ) { } /
6. The enV 3 doesn't seem to like directories or file names to be longer than 32 characters
7. Finally, to have album art displayed, it wants to see the file "AlbumArt.jpg" in each <album> folder.
I may be wrong about some of the rules -- but I can report that when I followed the rules, things worked as they never had before.My guess is that other Verizon LG phones work the same way. (You'd think that Verizon or LG would document this somewhere, but NO!)
Now -- you'd better believe I wasn't going to manually edit the directories and filenames to meet the enV 3's picky requirements -- not for 2000 files!Instead, I worked with the freeware program Mp3tag (available here) and wrote an Mp3tag script (available here) to do the dirty work. Step 1 was to 'clone' my music files by copying my entire music library -- all of the mp3 files, which had been organized by iTunes -- into a new directory which I labeled 'Music_Backup'. Step 2 was to read this cloned library into Mp3tag. Step 3 was to run my Mp3tag script, which parsed/renamed/moved all the music files under a new directory on my computer (called 'Ready-For-LG-Phone') Step 4 was to copy this new directory structure onto the Micro SD card
From there I popped the card into the phone, and at long last it has become a usable music player.(The one thing I haven't figured out is how to get playlists into the phone.)To use this process, you're going to have to get familiar with Mp3tag, or come up with a way using the tagger of your choice to meet the requirements I've listed above.But I can tell you that there's light at the end of the tunnel. Best wishes and good luck!
After updating firmware with V50.0.001 version, I tried a lot to update music player with new tracks but I didn't get any track updated in my 'all songs'. even not in 'recently addad'.
I am using Nokia 5230 handset, running with 50.0.001 firmware version, now when I try to open Music player, it shows me a blank-black screen. I am not able to listen any of my music file.
I got my 5230 updated to 20.0.005 last time, and actually it's a good update. The perfomance is better than before, but I encountered a problem that really annoying me.I love listening to music. It's everything for me. But now the music player can't detect new music files, even it's imported from a bluetooth connection. After I save it from the inbox, sometimes it said "General : System Error". The files is inside the memory card, but can't be detected by the music player although I refresh the music library. The same thing happened when I import some music files from the computer using Nokia PC Suite. In the library, there is the artist's name or the album's name, but after I clicked it, there isn't any music files inside. What happened actually with the music player?About the memory card, I got it from the phone package. It's 2 GB, and still has approx. 130 MB free. Is it the memory card or the update?
This is my first experience on a discussion group so i'm hoping for a positive one. I've just bought a nokia X6 after owning a N96 for 18 months. I want to find the easiest way of transferring all my music that's currently on the N96 to the X6. I've got 6,200 tracks to move so i don't really want to start from scratch.
I have connected my phone with the USB and transferred my photos and music to my phone. Unfortunately, when I open the Gallery, I can't see any of the pictures that I know are there. I can see the files if I use My Files to browse. It is the same for my music.
How can I transfer pictures which I can see in Gallery to my PC? When I use ES File Explorer or File Manager those apps cannot find these pictures on the internal storage or external card but those albums and photos are visible in Gallery. The file manager apps see some albums but not all of those visible in Gallery. The PC cannot see them either using Windows Explorer as it only sees the same albums which the Xoom file manager apps can see.
I recently purchases the Motorola Triumph.How can I move data from the SD card to the Gallery. I had no trouble moving pics and videos to the SD card via USB connection but the Gallery doesn't read the videos, only the pictures.How can I move the videos to the gallery or to other apps like "Keep it safe" and " Moboplayer"?
Is this possible on the N900? I was trying to do it yesterday and couldn't see how to do it either from within the file manager or the media player, not a huge problem but if there's an easy work around/solution it would be good to know.
I have a nokia E71. I tried everything to transfer music from my pc to my phone memory but nothing goes in the music player I did refresh all I get is - 18 my music is on the phone but I can't get it in my music player.
When I use the refresh function on the music library to transfer new songs, the new songs don't get transfered on the amount stays the same. How can I add new songs? Is there something wrong with the device?
I have approx 590 MP3 music tracks on my 5230 4gb memory card and I want to delete them all and start afresh. I have deleted the playlist but obviously my music is still there.I then tried to delete all my tracks by marking them all and then deleting but I got "general system error" message.Am trying to delete too many tracks at once, or is there a way of deleting them, or formatting my memory card to clear everything? I know I could take my card out and use a PC/card reader to clean but I didn't want to remove the card if possible. Is it possible or not please?
I got my 5230 today. And when I put music on it, and played the song, it plays extremely soft, even if the volume is on its loudest. There's this button on the headset, when I press it, it plays louder, but only on the left side?? I tried putting in another set of headphones, but the problem remains.
I have a song that i downloaded from the Ovi music store and transfered it to my Nokia 5230. It stated that i did not have the correct license to listen to it and that i should try to get it over air. It then leads me onto the internet where i have to enter in my Ovi store username and password, i enter in the correct details but it tells me that i need to allow cookies to access the next page, the only problem is that i have already allowed cookies, why does it not recognize this?
I bought a bluetooth connector and PC Suite works for everything on my 5230 except the music player doesn't see my phone as it says I need a cable. Can you only use a cable to transfer music and not bluetooth?
I've just bought new Nokia 5230, my earlier phone was Nokia 5200. I had bought memorycard for the 5200, and I had some music in it. Now i put the memorycard to the 5230, but the music doesn't appear to the player. I don't get this, I like to listen music and all I want is to get the music to the player.
I have nokia nuron 5230 with firmware v.12. I want to minimize music player and do other stuffs while listening songs. OR i want my music player on home screen?
I own a Nokia 5530 and I have a problem with my music. Some show up in the music gallery but they aren't stored on my memory card for some reason. Is there any way that I can get them stored back onto my memory card. If they get deleted, it will be hard for me to get all of them back on.

So I went to set an alarm last night for the first time since having the iphone 5c, and for some reason it showed all of my music (including music I don't have on my ipod anymore) when I went to select a song. I was messing around and clicked a few songs I hadnt heard in a while (and don't have synced to my ipod.) Now those bands and songs are showing up in my music. I've also deleted most of these bands from my Itunes completely, so it doesn't work to just uncheck them or d and sync again, they're still there. I tried swiping to delete and was able to delete one song, but the delete button doesn't show up now. I've tried turning "show all music" on and I still can't delete manually, and I'm not sure where these songs are coming from since they're deleted from Itunes.
I have a T-mobile Nokia 5230 (Nuron) and i'm having a hard time getting the music player to play while the phone is connected to PC Suite. *If not with original applications/software, is there a different music player that plays while connected to PC Suite? I do not want to hack my phone & I will just have to suffer if Ovi Suite is my only option.
I just bought this phone yesterday and I am already unsure if I made the right decision. The phone has only 70 something MB memory, of which 28 or such is taken up b the apps. There only 50+ plus mem left. There aren't any sounds or images preinstalled in this phone (not a single one).
Now this Voice Command thing is preventing me from listening to music. At first, whenever I switched the radio on, it asked me to activate the Voice command feature. Now when I selected it, it keeps on displying "Speak Now" every 4 seconds, interrupting the whole music. I try to speak commands like radio, but it doesn't work.Can someone guide me? I am getting frustrated by this frequent disturbance, everytime I switch on the radio.
My Nokia 5230 is turning into black/white screen & restarts automatically while trying to do tasks like msg, playing music. Done software reset..But still facing the same issue, done servicing, no of times but no use..
I recently encountered issues with the photo gallery and the media player on my nokia n900 where all the photos, music and videos are not detected by them. If I were to browse to them via file manager, I can find what I'm looking for but if I go into "photos" in the main menu, it just displays "(no images)" (there are images on the phone) and in Media Player (main menu again) it just shows all 4 icons but shows "(no songs)" or "(no videos)" under music, video and shuffle all songs (again, there is music and videos on the phone). Internet radios still show 48 stations. If I were to use file manager to open images, music or videos, they run normally as if their programs can detect them but they are still undetectable when gone into "photos" and "media player". Even with music, if I play it via file manager, hit back to go to the media player menu (with the 4 icons), it still shows no songs or videos, despite it playing one!Can anybody help me resolve this?Firmware version = 3.2010.02-8.203.1 (recently reflashed, issue was not occuring when I had the latest vodafone uk firmware version, forgot it's version number)Edit:Forgot to add, this happened gradually. These did work at first after the reflash, photo gallery went a week ago the media player stopped working today.
I am using nokia 5230. The problem is whenever I select option Refresh Library, the device is unable to load new music files which I have transferred to memory card using PC suite. Music player is unable to load music files which are stored in memory card. I even updated the phone software but unable to solve this problem, but other files such as videos and images. I am able to see in gallery. Only problem is with the music files.....
