Hi, so I've had problems with 2 albums so far.. I stuck them on my phone and tried to play them. It opens up nokia music player then just closes the program straight away...
I installed Oggplayer but it doesn't work. When it scans for files it searches about 90 files then just closes the app. Funny thing is, if I take the memory card out it searches fine.
Also, I set one of the songs that don't work as my ringtone (stuck it in the Sounds/digital on my memory card) and it worked perfectly!
This is very confusing.. Any idea?! Also, any idea how to get oggplayer working aswell! I'd love to be able to use that program 😞
Thanks
OggPlay 1.67 works flawlessly on my n70 as well as "Music Player" with ATP 1gb full.
I've got over 400 songs in mp3, ogg, and wma format working perfectly in both players.
Try putting some songs on the phone memory and remove memory card, does this work?
I've heard of this problem before and I think the problem was a large, full, SLOW memory card.
Does the card happen to be Kingston or MMemory?
Its a 1gb mobymemory one. Its about 800mb full at the moment. I mean, everything works and all, just some songs..
HAHA! Now... thats very very strange!! So I stuck 2 of the songs into the Sounds/Digital folder and then selected them via FExplorer.. and they work fine in Nokia Music Player!!
I'm keeping them in the E:/Ogg/ folder, and used to keep them in the MyMusic folder, both folders had the problem. (I stuck them in E/Ogg so I could select "scan E/Ogg only" to see if this fixed my scanning problems in oggplayer.. it didnt!)
So.. maybe I should just copy the unworking files over to this folder and just create new playlists there..
Try with just your phone memory. This will answer the question of whether or not response time has anything to do with it.
Just tried it and oggplayer works fine with just the phone memory.. i stuck a couple of songs on it and it works fine :S

Hmmm...if I recall correctly this was the same thing some people on other boards saw.
Pretty sure they narrowed it down to repsonse time as described by the developers of some of the music apps.
Seems that the slower cards produced this error based on slower response times.
Did you format the card yourself on PC or did you use the format on the card as it came from the manufacturer?
Well, a few weeks ago after I couldn't get ogg to work at all, I formatted the card on my computer and stuck it in my phone to be told its corrupt, so I panicked (alot!) but then formatted the card on the phone and all was fine, then stuck everything back on.
So it looks like it's going to be impossible with a full memory card?
Your OggPlay isn't working? What version of OggPlay are you using?
I have a version that works on n70 if you need it, since it's freeware.
Also, it's known that most xxxPDA apps loaded on your phone may cause problems with OggPlay and some other apps.

I think some people found resoulution by formatting on PC, FAT, with a block size of 16. I formatted mine on PC with block size of 16 from the start.
A smaller block, 16 is the smallest for 1gb, will give you more free space after files have been loaded to memory card. I'm not sure what block size the phone formats in but I've always formatted my cards on PC when I get them using the smallest block size available.
It is possible that the card has a problem. I've have two cards, a 512 and a 1gb that have done weird things, I had a hard time formatting them on PC and getting them to work on phone as well.
I returned them and the new ones had no problems at all.

Hey EinZtein, can I ask how you've gotten WMA files to play in both Ogg Player and Music Player. I've downloaded what I thought were the correct pluggins but neither program will pick up WMA files..... I can manually select the WMA files in FE Explorer and they play through (i believe) REAL PLAYER...
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this...

Hey mate, i had the same problem which drove me nuts. I was saving the songs in directories on the card which made the path long. I thought i would try shortening the lengths of the paths and it worked after that.
So i'm guessing that the phone can't read songs when the names are too long like some head units in cars etc..
I now put all my songs in e:\mp3\*.* and shorten the track names.. now realplayer works fine and oggplayer searches without a prob!!
evse: That worked fine!! 😃 I had a look and the file names were <band name> - <track no> - <song title> So I shortened them all and it works fine now 😊
