Nokia 6300 music player help please.

Hey, I just got a 1GB Mini SD for my 6300.

I put 187 songs on there, but when I go to my music player it says I only have 128. Is this the limit for the phone? I've tried updating the music lirary twice and it still says 128 :smileysad:

I would appreciate it if the answers could be mailed to my spare email khufu_wood@hotmail.com


Thank you.

Check that all the songs are saved in a format that's compatible with your phone.

Some phones cannot play certain formats, like WMA's.

Yeah, if all the songs are held on that card on the capacity there is no question to raise about the limit.
Are you sure they all are compatible with your phone as Steves said?

PC Suite. I can play all the songs in the gallery, and it lists them all. I just though that because the number was 128 (with 128 being a multiple of 8, which is prevelant in the PC World, as in 128mb RAM etc etc) That 128 was the limit that the music player could play. Any confirmation on this?


Thanks.

I suppose Nokia 6300 is also using the XpressMusic™ Player found on the N5300.I had nearly 200 songs on my memory card and it has never shown any problems.It displays all the songs in the playlist.BTW, i mostly put eAAC music files on it.Haven't tried putting WMA's though.

Maybe a firmware update or reflash may help?
