Nokia 6230 mp3 player

Posted: 07-06-2004, 12:58 PM
This is very unexpected. The music player of Nokia 6230 expects all mp3
files in Music Files folder.

I bought a 256 mb memory card and filled it music but I can play only one
file at a time directly from the card, and I cannot fit too many songs into
the remaining 6 Mb of phone internal memory.

Is this behaviour by design, or is there a way to use Music Player with the
card?

How can I play all files from a folder on card in one after another, with no
buttons pressed?

Do the mp3 files need to be placed in Music files folder with no subfolders
or something like this?

It seems I can get it work. The only way I could make it work is not using
any folders on memory card, just place music files directly in the root of
the card.

Mines fine with a 128mb card.

Just select music player and it finds them all. Try turning phone off
then on again if they are files you just uploaded to phone.

Have you created separate play lists with The Nokia Audio Manager?

If you go into 'Track List', then 'Options', then 'Change Track List' - Do
you get just 'All Tracks' ?

If so, create a track list, then it should appear in this menu

Yes, I've created separated track lists for each folder. However the music
files which are not in root folder, will never show up in "All Tracks". Is
is designed to do this?

Thanks

Not sure what you mean, but if I select a track list I created, I've just
got the tracks in that particular track list showing in the music player. If
I select 'All Tracks' - I get every track from all my track lists showing in
the music player - And as far as I can see, I'm not using any of the phones
memory at anytime. I've got nothing stored in the 'Music Files' folder on my
phone..

By the way, what mmc card are you using? Any recommendations? Not sure
whether to go for a 128 or 256 - I've heard the 256 can be slow?

I am using a Kingmax 256 Mb MMC Card. Do not know what to compare it with
but it is surely not slower than the 32 Mb original phone one and a SanDisk
32 Mb one.

As for the music player...

on the MMC card I have:

in the root I've two files: File1 and File2; and two folders: Folder1 and
Folder2. I also have two track lists: TrackList1 (files in Folder1) and
TrackList2 (files in Folder2)...

Now I, can play normally track lists: TrackList1 and TrackList2, but when I
select All Tracks I can only see the File1 and File2 in track list, not the
files in Folder1 and Folder2...

It seems that the search for files is not subfolder recursive. If I place
all my files in root folder of the card, I can see all files in All Tracks,
but I wanted to logically separate albums, but in the same time be able to
play all files.

Can you confirm this is the same for you and All Tracks does not include
files in card subfolders?

Thanks

The only way the 6230 Music Player can 'see' the files in the sub-folders
is by creating phone playlists with Nokia Audio Manager on your PC.

Larger cards make the Music Player start slower: eg.
32MB = 2seconds
128MB = 7.5 seconds
256MB = 15seconds
512MB = 30seconds... yes really, from personal experience!

The Music Player will 'start' whenever the phone is switched back on, or it
detects a change in the playlists.

I think I keep explaining but nobody can understand what I am trying to
say...

Yes, I've created playlists with Nokia Audio Manager but the files on card
subfolders DO NOT appear in "All tracks" playlist, just in the playlist I've
created. It seems to me there no way to "see" files in subfolders on card in
"All tracks" playlist. Can someone confirm? Can someone confirm the software
version? Maybe mine is older or newer, thus my music player starts very
quickly but no subfolders files...

Mine says:
v 03.15
17-03-04
RH-12
GSM P1.1
