Music problems with LG Vu

What happens when you chose open to see files, this is how I us mine. I go to the folder tree and drag my files from the computer folder to the music folder on the player. If you use windows media player you can convert cd's to mp3 from the menu at the top. if you can not see the menu right click the top bar next to the now playing button, and chose classic menus. Then go to -> tools -> options -> rip music tab and look for the folder it will put mp3's in or change it to a folde you make at the top of the folder tree say ( create a folder named AAA. right click the top c:\ drive and create a new folder and re-name it aaa that will put it at the top). then in the rip music location chose mp3 rip when cd in inserted and close out and your good to go. rip a cd and drag it onto your player.

Well once you put the songs from your cd onto your computer place them in a folder in my documents and name it music. Plug in your mp3 player and go into your my computer folder and open your mp3 player as a folder. Or if you have autoplay on when it loads itself and pops up on the screen click where it says open items as a folder. Once you have it open into a folder just go into your my documents and slide the music folder over into the mp3 folder. That should work because thats how I do mine I dont like using the disc way because the disc is way to confusing.

I found out a couple things on this. 1) try their web site, it helps. 2) you need 3 folders on your micro sd a) my_music b) my_pix c) my_flix. Their web page has the WRONG NAME...so use the ones above. Drag and drop the MP3's directly into this folder - DO NO PUT ALBUM FOLDERS in there, it doesn't work.

I was using a memorex ultra speed cd-rw and did not work, but i decided to use a regular cd-r digital audio and it worked! Just creat a folder named BG and place up to 20 jpeg pictures in that folder, then place 100MB of files (Not mp3) outside the folder and burn it onto the cd and youre done!

If you copied your music from itunes or another such program, it is in an mp4 format and/ or has embedded DRM (Digital Rights Management- that program that makes apple ****!!!!!!) . The phone will not recognize or play that format. The easiest solution is to Google "free mp3 wma converter" and there are free full versions that you don't have to pay for. Drag the songs off of your itunes into a new folder on your desktop named TO BE CONVERTED and then open the converter and load them on. Make sure you create another folder on your desktop named CONVERTED for the destination file for the converted songs before you convert them and be sure to select that path to save them to or you may never find them. Once done, drag them from the converted folder onto your phone or memory card, and you're all set. Good Luck!!!!!!!

I had the same problem and found the solution on the following site!
http://www.lg-vu.com/index.php?topic=2660.0 Reading thru the blog you will find the best solution is to download the MP3 tag which there is a link for and untag the retag your MP3's and they will work. So easy but up to 6 hours or more to locate.

Insert the cd into your computer and open it with media player, copy the music onto media player.

Once you have done this, go to 'My Music' folder and copy the songs you have just ripped from the cd onto your memory card. If you cannot find the songs in my music check in the unknown folder (in my music) and it will be in there with the date of copying so you know which folder it is.

I hope this helps

The device is not recognizing the file name. The Garmin GPS will only recognize MP3 files. Ipod (MP4) and other media files will not play. Converting the files to the MP3 format will correct the problem.

the best way for that is to read your manual.
