Tips and FAQ

"Installation security error. Unable to install" when installing the SIS file

Switch the setting in Menu > Tools > Manager > Options > Settings > Software installation On.

Grabbing audio Compact Discs to mp3 files

We recommend to use Audiograbber [tutorial in pdf].

I have forgotten my registration code, or my code is not accepted after upgrading the program

From v3.00 on, Mp3Player requires a different registration code. If you have already purchased Mp3Player, enter the IMEI number here to get the registration code for versions above v3.00 and for the previous versions:

Installation

WAP: If you have WAP access, the easiest way to install the program is to go to wap.viking.tm and download it there.
PcSuite: download the SIS file, then install it using PcSuite (this requires that you connect your phone to your PC with infrared, Bluetooth or a cable). PcSuite is loacted on the CD-ROM shipped with your phone, or can be downloaded at the manufacturers' homepage (e.g. nokia.com).
If you are unable to save the SIS file, click on it with the right mouse button, a select "Save target as..."

Memory full error after importing a skin

If you receive "Mp3Player: memory full. Close some applications and try again" error message after importing a skin, reinstall the program (this will restore the original skin).

Program cannot find any mp3 file

If you have a phone that does not have a built-in mp3 player, and you use PcSuite for uploading mp3 files, then you have to disable the automatic conversion of mp3 files to wav files [how to switch this off].
If this does not solve the problem, then download the latest version.

Program exits when searching for mp3 files

Download the latest version, or MMC card failure.

Program exits with "App. closed mce" error

Restart your phone.

Program is not listed in the list of applications

Restart your phone.

Registration

After a successful purchase you will receive the 5-digit registration code. Download and install the trial version of the program. After starting it, press 'Register', then enter the registration code.
If the registration fails, or you haven't received the registration code in 24 hours, contact us.
Newer versions use the same registration code.

Shrinking mp3 files

Most Nokia phones support only 16kHz, mono audio, so it is recommended to resample your mp3 files (usually 44.1kHz, stereo) e.g. with the free winLAME program [tutorial in pfd] (e.g. to 92kbps, 16kHz, mono).
If you have SX-1, Nokia 6630 or a newer phone supporting 44.1kHz, this process is not recommended!

Sound comes both from the speaker and the headset

You need to plug in the earphone about half way, wait a second and then plug it in the rest (usually this works, but not for all phones!)

Uninstall

Use Menu/Manager or Menu/Tools/Manager to remove the program.
If it does not work, then you should install a file manager utility (we recommend FExplorer), and remove the program installation folder in \system\apps.

Upgrading

Install the new program without removing the old one (the program should not run on the phone). If you are asked to enter the registration code, enter the old code (but usually the program remembers the code).
Future versions are free.
