Nokia 6230 PLaylists & MP3s...

Random

I'm trying to create a playlist on my 6230. I want to be able to just click a button in the goto menu or something and load it up.

I want it to randomly cycle through my songs.

I want to be able to browse around on the phone while it's playing, without any interuption.

I installed the Software off the CD but don't see any playlist options etc... I need the latest version from the site or am I missing an option in the phone ?

Cheers

Also, where in god's name is the Infrared port on it?

id presume the bluetooth port and the infra red port are in the same place

I'm pointing my other phone everywhere on it and can't find the IRDA


As for the MP3.. you guess it.. I found it

Fabritzo

Hi,

If you have the Nokia PC Suite installed, use the "Nokia Audio Manager" application to create playlists.

Once the playlist has been uploaded to the phone, you can use it in the "Music Player". Also, if you check the options within the "Music Player", you'll see a randomise option.

My latest challenge is to find out how to add a link to my playlist to my right click or goto menu...

I don't know where the bluetooth port is but it doesn't matter becuase bluetooth doesn't depend on line of site

Try the www.expansys.ie forum for more help on the 6230, just do a search for it on the left hand side.

Hi,

ciaranfo - You can't add a playlist to the Goto Menu, only the predefined items can be added. The nearest you can get is to add "Music Player".

I'm not sure if the "Music Player" remembers the last playlist you used, but it might...

I was thinking of getting a 6230 on an upgrade. How many MP3s can the phone hold?

Fabritzo

A 1gig multimedia card can be bought from komplett for under 100€
So 300mp3s...
edit, i'd have to warn you though, the mp3 player on it is a pain to use, I have the phone about 6 months with a 512mb and must have used the mp3 player 3 times.

deckie27

I have a gig card in one but the problem is the phone won't recognise or the card won't allow more than 150 tracks on the root. ( which is where the phone reads them from)
I have a transcend card

Transend the card?? There's a way to put albums in folders etc, I had a go at it and got one or 2 playlists going, it takes too long to organise over bluetooth, I dunno if the usb cable is any quicker.

Hi,

Fabritzo - "Transcend" are a brand of MMC card and yes, the datacable is faster, well over 10x faster than Blueooth.

deckie27 - What version of firmware do you have on the phone (press *#0000#) ?

If you want to put songs into folders on the MMC card, you have to organise the files then create a playlist using the Nokia PC Suite via Bluetooth, Infra-red or the USB datacable.

I must try that with the suite.
I just copy the files onto card with card reader so much faster as I don't have a usb cable

I can't seem to find a way to even add the music player to the goto menu... It's not appearing

Hi,

deckie27 - The firmware you have is fine although there are two newer versions out (v4.44 and v5.24) although you shouldn't need an update unless you have aspecific problem. In case you were having issues with the playlists (like I wat), try this tutorial on how to create playlists in the Nokia Audio Manager

ciaranfo - The version of firmware you have must not support it, have a look at the first post on this message board
