So will it not work the same as my w880 then? when selecting an album to play I go into Music from the File Manager then into the album I want, then go to More>Music Player>Play All. Is this option not available on K850? It would be great if someone could check for me.
Never tried it that way before, but just did and no, you can't do that on the K850 which is a shame as once you've got to the song the Media Player is fine. The new firmware is due soon so it may not be an issue for much longer. Also, others have reported that their Media Player works OK with a lot of songs, so it possible there's something about my files that it doesn't like and not a general issue with the Media Player.
Erikr - thanks for the link
Do you get the same problem as me when trying to play music straight from the music player? It doesn't seem to be able to keep the tracks in the right order. But when I do it the way I described they play in the correct order in the music player. All my music files are in AAC format with album art. I use itunes to convert CDs to AAC. Could any of those factors be causing this problem, or is it a known problem with SE phones? |

Windowlicker - Yes. In media player it chooses some random order for the songs but in FM it show them correctly. I think that's because I have the track number at the start of the file name and FM lists them in filename alpha seq. I think MP should use the track id within the file properties but gets it wrong. I used iTunes to rip but have them as MP3 rather than AAC. |

Hmmm. Its weird that this is such a long running problem with SE phones. Its been the only problem I've had with my w880 since I got it a year ago. Why have they not fixed it yet?
Not sure what to do now. If the w910 suffers from the same problem then I'm stuck because it might not have the ability to do it the way I do on my w880 (choosing an album to play in Music Player from the File Manager). If they've not managed to fix the problem on older phones with firmware updates, then I'm thinking they probably wont on the new update for the k850  I dont want to have to switch to Nokia!! |

i have an 8GB minisdhc card and i uploaded a few albums using SE media manager 1.1 which is available at the SE site. when i play the songs form a particular album thru the media player it plays them in the correct album order unless shuffle is turned on. Also i haven't experienced slow performance but again this is maybe because i only loaded a few albums (about 600 mb) i am running the unbranded firmware 037 waiting anxiously for the new one. hope it helps

I know this is an old thread but just for info:
I use a 4gb sandisk micro sd for my sony ericcson K850 and it does slow down the media player so i use kd player (http://www.easter-eggs.net.ru/KDPlayer/EN_Versions.php) which works very well and the album artwork is much bigger (pretty much full screen using the walkman full screen skin).
When i insert the memory card, power up the phone or the phone crashes, media player takes about 3 minutes to read everything on it.
For watching videos going through the file manager makes it quicker without skipping. I couldnt get videos to play in sync using SE media player, especially when i fast forwarded or rewound. |

my dear friend,
whats ur current firmware?
did u try any updating/flashing it?
as far as i know the latest stable one is R1FA035.
This one is the best, giving you the fast menu response for anything.
I had this media access problem with the R1CA037 firmware, but now
i updated to R1FA035 its cleared. I use 8GB Sandisk MicroSD, and the media player is fast nd responsive.
There is also an 'update' media option, in case u want to update the media files manually.
Just give a try...

You can use a 16gb card in an SE phone and it'll seem as fast as using a 16mb card (if it still exists lol) if you just organize your folders every now and then. Don't keep too many files in one folder, categorize them accordingly and it'll seem like you have a new phone in your hand. This tip works for any SE phone with memory expansion in the market, just try it and you'll see.
