5530 music player not recognizing new songs

hi all,

 

new problem for me. the nokia music player is not recognizing new music. it just files them under unknown. the files are properly tagged. the only way to get it to recognize the files is to format the sd card and put the music back on the card.

 

also after deleting music, the player still has the files in its unknown folder, even after updating the music library.

 

very frustrating as i use the phone everyday as my main music player. this problem has only turned up in the past couple of weeks, with me changing nothing else on the phone.

 

any advise?

Hi, just try up this found somewhere-

You can do this to rebuild the library as it is corrupted.

 

Restart your device and then refresh your library. If this doesn't help then;

Connect the phone to your pc/lappy and put in 'Data transfer' mode.

 

To delete the library files:

- Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:

 

Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View

 

Select "Show hidden files and folders"

- Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode

- Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:

 

E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd

E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd

E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat

(assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E)

 

Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd.  Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.

 

Now just refresh the Music Player library and the job is done.

 

This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.
