Help on getting "Music player: system error" on N-Gage

Q. I’m getting "Music player: system error" when I try to play MP3s on my N-Gage.

A. This is down to a bug in the N-Gage itself. You can get it working again by deleting the file 'playlist.dat' in the root directory of your MMC and then restarting the smartphone.
