Music Player Problem

Hey Guys,

Having a little problem with Music Player. I recently had a bit of a clear up and removed some old songs from my Memory Card, unfortunately the artists name are still appearing in the Artist menu, when I open the artist menu there's no songs in it. I've tried deleting the artist from the menu but it says the feature's not supported. I've checked to see there's no traces on the memory card, and I've also tried refreshing the music player but the problem still exists. Anyone got any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance

1) Copy the music files you want to wherever you want on the memory card.
2) Connect the phone in "Data transfer" mode to your PC.
3) Delete the two files in "E:\private\101FFC31" (called "mpxv1.mpd" and "pcv5.mpd"😉.
4) Delete the one file in "E:\private\101ffca9" (called "harvesterdb.dat"😉.
5) Disconnect the phone from the PC and run the Music Player on the phone.
6) Wait a while for the app to startup. It will be rebuilding the library......
7) Just to be sure, select "Refresh".

(doesn't work if you have the same problem with podcasts)
