In part 1 of this review, I focussed on the hardware of the N81 8GB. In the second part of this review I'll be zeroing in on its music capabilities. Given the positioning of the N81 8GB as a music and gaming focussed phone, this is clearly an important area for the phone to do well in.
I very much doubt that my foibles in how people choose music depending on storage size was the primary concern of Nokia when developing the N81, but it makes me happy that the addition of the naviwheel has significantly enhanced the music experience compared to other Nseries devices. Scroll and search put together make the N81 well suited to music on the move.
The N81 has two ways to control the music that's playing - the first is the regular playback controls using the cursors - play/pause is the center keys, forward and back are left and right, with down as stop (the same on pretty much every device) and, thanks to the raised naviwheel, these are easy to find and press when the device is in your pocket.
That of course assumes you're still in the music app, so Nokia also have a set of global playback keys that will work from any application. Again the four regular controls of play/pause, stop, forward and back, and they can be found just outside the naviwheel even by touch. The problem of course is that with the rest of the key surface being smooth, it's almost a leap of faith when you press down on the surface where you think the key is. There's very little movement (less than a millimetre) and a slight delay from keypress to hearing the result in your headphone. The feedback to the user is not good here, and feels sluggish. Not what you'd expect in a high end smartphone.
Nokia's Bluetooth headsets work well with the A2DP profile - and in a head to head with the same music file on the N95, there's less drop out and clipping on the audio - I wonder if there's been an increase in the bandwidth given to stereo Bluetooth, or if there's a more efficient encoding of the audio stream in the handset. Whatever's been done, it's an improvement on other Nseries devices.
As a music device, the Nokia N81 8GB is up there with the best of them. It is a compromise device, but the integration of hardware keys for the main playback functions, alongside the naviwheel functionality, makes moving around your collection easy and quick.
I know that, it has to be a txt file ok, i get that. What i was trying to ask is that, if there any way to translate a music mp3 file to a txt with the format flipper requires. not just adding the mp3 or waf file
Update: reading comments below, very likely dedicated audio players have more for that, but VLC plays just about any audio or video file format you throw at it, and is cross-platform for consistency with desktops (incl Linux). It's a world of personal preferences and priorities. (A lot of my offline music was ripped from CDs twenty years ago on the old Microsoft WMA, that many current players don't even see.)
I just use a 3rd party File Manager app from the Google Play Store, which one should have anyway, as the default Google management has been awful up to v6, which I use. Many File Manager apps have music & video players built in & even sound equalizers built in. No need for a "special" music app if one doesn't need it to do streaming. Perfect for playing files from the internal or external SD card storage. And it's likely that one needs or could use a separate file manager app with better functions than usually come with the device.
I have my whole music library of 16,000 tracks on my phone and I use an app called Station Playlist Creator to make playlists for a variety of moods. PowerAmp handles them comfortably but you could just put tracks in folders and get PA to shuffle them if you felt my way was overkill.
I like the way many music players "discover" the SD card and in-built phone storage, allowing access by various criteria such as title, album, artist, and genre. That would be a nice feature for photo organizers. I wonder which ones do that?
If this player doesn't work, find a suitable one among the top 9 music players for Android : SoundCloud, Google Play Music, CloudPlayer, RocketPlayer, YouTube Music Player, Spotify Music, Phonograph Music Player, Shuttle Music Player, Poweramp
I haven't run into a player that doesn't support SD cards -just to encourage you to try them all, looking for other features you need. I've stored music only on SD cards for several/many years and have always found the software setting for that on various apps I've used, including those for subscription services.
I'll have to retire my Lumia 950 by the end of the year and have been starting to use Android since last year when I got a Sony XZ1 Compact. I've shopped for phones that have strong -to me- music and photo features. On the Sony, I have been using VLC satisfactorily, and I like that it plays a lot of WMA lossless files I have, which most others could not. I don't like that it doesn't have indexing, so that I have to scroll through all my songs to get to the one I want. With 8000, it can be slow. Microsoft's own iterations have allowed tapping on the letter of the alphabet you're on to get an alphabet index and select an S, for instance, short-cutting the process.
Mike Bebel, Nokia's head of music, noted in a blog post today that what users have asked for are unlimited skips, more offline storage, access to lyrics, and the ability to use the service on all of their different devices. That's why the app today is now available for computers and tablets.
"It carries the same look and feel that people enjoy with the Windows Phone app, but brings it to larger screens with high quality rich media that encourages people's journey of discovery -- a great example being recommendations for more music right on the player screen," Bebel said.
Meanwhile, the new app from Nokia come as rivals are believed to be readying their own music streaming services. As CNET reported, Apple is close to striking deals with major music labels to bring to life its streaming music service, and Google is aiming to launch its own service as part of YouTube this summer.
Nokia Ovi Player is a universal media player intended to be used with personal computers. It is intended to replace the older Nokia Music bundle and there are several improvements when compared to this previous version. A streamlined user interface and the ability to sort music based upon personal preferences are two recent advancements. This media bundle is free to download.
Nokia Ovi Player is constructed in a similar matter to other software packages such as RealPlayer. One of the main benefits is that its layout is quite clean and simple; ideal for those who may be looking for a basic media player or those with little available memory space. It can work with common codecs including MP3, WAV, WMV and MPEG. There are also versions available for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. However, the system is quite dated.
The music player is one of the few departments where Nokia E51 lacks in both functionality and interface. The music player interface is quite dull, with no option to change its appearance. Controlling it with the D-pad is odd too, as up and down on the D-pad are used for browsing tracks, while the volume is controlled by the left and right, which is not intuitive at all.
The player comes with five equalizer presets. If it still seems insufficient, you can create new ones in a matter of seconds. When the player gets minimized, the only way to access it in the middle of doing something else is via the task manager window that is invoked upon a long press of the home key (menu key).
Our audio quality test showed that Е51 performs well, managing better marks compared to the Nokia 7500 prism, but still lagging behind the music-centered Nokia N81, to randomly name some of handsets we've compared. Nobody expects stunning music performance in a business phone, so we can safely assume that the overall result is just fine. The first generation of E-series smartphones was even worse.

Last week Nokia rolled out Nokia Music for the Lumia 710 and Lumia 900 devices here in the US. Nokia Music was a Lumia exclusive service released with the Lumia 800 outside the US, but it took almost a year to get it up and running here. I have been using it on both my Nokia Lumia 900 and Nokia N9 MeeGo device (yes, it runs on the N9 here in the US now too) since the release and have removed Spotify from both of these devices as this new FREE meets MY mobile music listening needs. Let's take an in-depth look at Nokia Music on the Lumia 900 and if you have a Lumia 900 or 710 I highly recommend you give it a try, it won't cost you anything but your time.
