File manager to media player?
Again, apologies to the board for being a newbie.
I loaded a file of "favorite music" to my new 16g sdhc card. The file manager reads it just fine, but I can't seem to load the entire file into the media player. When I double click on the file, it gives me the content, and then it only plays the content one file at a time. Is there a workaround for this, other than creating a playlist? Thanks in advance. |

I don't get it... So you loaded ONE file to the card and you complain that it only plays one file at a time? How is this related?

hello Nokia800newbie. I think you'll find it's all working as planned: open a file from file manager and it will play it, regardless of the directory it is in, or what else is there too. Play an album (as defined in the id3 tags) from the explorer feature of media player, or set up a playlist. Create a really playlist really easily with:
Code:
ls -1 *.mp3 > MyPlayListName.m3u Code:
ls -1|grep -i -e .mp3$>$(basename $PWD).m3u |

Sorry for not making myself clear. Let me try again: I've loaded about 50 .WMA folders, saved at 192 kbps, from around 30 bands onto the SDHC card. Each folder represents one album. I also have one file of miscellaneous music, some in .MP3 format and others in .WMA format, that contains around 200 of my favorite songs from a variety of artists, some of which duplicated in the 50 folders previously loaded. When I open the media player, the miscellaneous music files are distributed to the other artists folders or to a misc folder, and the original folder that contained all that music is gone. When I go to file manager and click on the one folder that holds all this music, the miscellaneous music folder is intact but I cannot get the media player to play the entire folder as if it were an album. When I click on that folder, it lists the individual songs contained therein and plays them one at a time. Does this make my problem a little clearer? |
Re: File manager to media player?
Media player no longer catalogs the music on your device. Not sure if I understand your problem but could this be a clue?

Use Canola and just add the folder. It will auto scan.

Re: File manager to media player?
Agree, I have gone over to Canola.

Canola's great if you don't mind giving up your tablet to play music.
Here's what you can do using the default media player: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=14392 |
Re: File manager to media player?
Hey,
I didnt want to start a new thread, so I just wanted to piggy back off the Format subject in this thread. I bought an 32gb SD card for my n810, once I installed the adapter for it I popped in the card and it gave me a message when i clicked on it from the file manager basically saying it wouldnt open it or something ( it was earlier today and i forgot the exact message, and the tablet is at home right now ) although there wasnt anything on it. my question do I need to ReFormat this card for the tablet, and if so in what format and how. Thanks, |
