mp3 playback problems

1 replies · 1,597 views · Started 10 May 2006

When I play mp3�s using music player they keep randomly pausing for a split second, as though it is a buffering problem. It is the same if I play them from the phone or from the memory card. I am considering upgrading from 4.44 to 5.22 firmware as the video playback is also out of sync with the sound and I hear that the new version has improved playback. BUT I have also read that there are also new bugs in 5.22 so I wondered if there was another solution. I have tried using another music player program, still the same problem.

I contacted Club Nokia but they suggest I only transfer/rip mp3's through the pc suite which isn't much use if you want to download tracks. Surely any mp3 should work if it works on your pc / mp3 player ?

Any help / advice would be appreciated . . .

Just found the solution in another post - it is the Wi-Fi scan that was causing the problem, I have turned it off in control panel.

Thanks SLITCHFILED 😉

Any other comments re the video / audio sync and firm version are still welcome.
