Nokia N91 Important tips
Important tips
N91 and N91 8GB common
Nokia PC Suite (especially Nokia Audio Manager)
Nokia PC Suite is optimized for management of data on
Phone memory [C:]. Nokia PC Suite is recommended for
managing contacts, calendar and notes. To manage content on hard drive [E:] (Music, Images, Movies, Applications etc) it is recommended to use Mass storage and/or
Media player (for Music) mode.
Note that when using Nokia PC Suite it is recommended
to not run applications (Gallery, etc) during the PC Suite
session.
Nokia PC Suite runs in the background on your PC and
sometimes when using Mass storage or Media player
mode a pop up comes up saying PC suite - N91 con-
nected in non compatible mode please change from UI.
This message only applies when using PC Suite mode.
For optimal performance it is recommended to use the
latest version of PC suite available from http://
europe.nokia.com/A4144903 or other local regional sites.
File Management
The N91 and N91 8GB, like any other computer using
FAT32, is designed to handle many files and folders. Like a
computer, folders and the number of files within each
folder needs to be managed for optimal performance.
Windows Media player by default typically divides songs
up into folders by artist, album etc however when using
other sync/transfer methods (eg. Mass storage mode) it
is recommended to limit the number of files in each
folder.
For optimal performance when managing content on
hard drive [E:], it is recommended to limit the number of
files or folders within a single folder/directory to contain
not more than 50 files/folders of content (Images, Music,
Videos etc). Many gigabytes of content can be handled
more efficiently when managed by using sub folders. In
most cases compatible Windows Media player manages
your music files in the same manner automatically.
