Update 27th Oct

Finally got round to doing some more testing on this as promised.

I did 8 full resets and loaded my music via mass storage drag and drop from my macbook. The music totaled 37.63GB and is ripped to my mac via tunes. The album art is manually attached to each album in iTunes rather that using the get album artwork.

The test results are:

2 tests - airplane mode disabled (failed)
2 tests - airplane mode enabled (failed)
2 tests - airplane mode enabled fastern9 installed (successful)
2 tests - airplane mode disabled fastern9 installed (successful)

It would appear that airplane mode doesn't have any effect in resolving the problems with indexing your music songs and album art work. However when you install fastern9 indexing songs and album artwork is flawless (with or without airplane mode enabled).

Sorry to mislead you guys earlier.

However this is still a good find... and enhances my experience with the stock music player

Tip for your stock n9 music player: Switch your n9 into airplane mode when you load music (via mass storage drop and drag”). Keep the n9 in airplane mode then open the music app and it will update and index all your music (album art and songs) fully without fail.

One thing that was an ongoing annoyance was after I’d transferring all my music (38gb worth) the phone would not update/index the music library fully or properly with missing album art and in some cases missing songs in the albums.

This all changed when I thought to put the phone in airplane mode when updating the music library. All my music has been indexed fully and shows all album art on all songs. Not really sure why this is but I’ve tested this a few times with and without airplane mode enabled and it appears to solve the problem.

Thought I’d share....
