Music Transfer New Chocolate bought WITH 2GB Music Kit. Can load music onto microSD but when I install card back into phone, it says "files not supported". Happens with music files of all types (mp3, wmv) Any help is appreciated

You cannot directly install iTunes on a Windows based phone - you do have various options, however. You can install iTunes on your PC and download music to your PC and then transfer the tunes to the phone using either file transfer, Windows Media Player or Windows Media Centre, or you could copy the music onto a microSD card and insert that directly into your phone.

Note that if you transfer music from iTunes, you may need to "translate" the file format into WMV or MP3 format befoer transferring it to your phone.

It is hard to provide any useful suggestions without knowing the type of cell phone your son is using.

Normally he would put the memory card in the cell phone microSD slot (provided it can support 2gb card), plug the USB cable from computer to cell phone (if it supports this). Normally the phone will have also got some software apps CD which should be loaded to computer. This will provide the necessary functions to load music files to the phone.

Alternative to USB is bluetooth connection which both the computer and the cell phone will have to support. He can transfer music files that way.

I am not sure if he can copy the files directly from the computer to the memory card and play it on the cell phone as data formats are not standard. Also iTunes files need to converted to mp3 format. If these are protected iTunes files then it becomes a bit harder - best to burn a CD and then rip into mp3 format.

Once again these suggestions are useless if cell phone cannot play music (mp3 or WMA etc) files, does not have microSD slot, does not have USB or bluetooth support.

Two options--Go to Options > Media Card, set Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected to Yes.Another one go to this site http://forums.pinstack.com/f8/mass_storage_issues_heres_the_fix-96938 and on the first post there is a file "BB storage Activation new.rar" of size 3.63 Mb.Download it,extract it and upload it on your phone and just install.It will definitely solve your problems.Also you need to register there to download that file...just do it no problem.

Just put ur devices in then select the removable media drive which is max in fat system then copy ur files on the adaptor then paste to ur sandisk 2 gb drive








please vote for me

i can't put music on my micro sd card from my windows or on my pc.

I went back to the US Cellular store and presented the problem to the salesman that sold me the phone. He said that I needed to remove the memory card and put it in a card reader and transfer the music files to the card through the card reader. My Gateway desktop has a card reader and I transferred the music files to the card and then to My Music folder under My computer and it worked. Strange to have to do it this way but it works.

In an effort to inflate their bottom line many providers (can u say Verizon) "fix" the phone so that only files downloaded to the phone from their pay-for-Music site will go into the proper folder so that phone sees them. The trick then is to outsmart them by latching onto a hack that will allow u to get them into that folder.
This is especially true for ring tones.

The chocolate only supports .WMA files (windows media player) you have to convert them to .WMA in order for the phone to play them.

1) get a MicroSD card (it'll come with an adapter)
2) on your computer, transfer the mp3 files to the microSD
3) put the microSD in your phone.

you have to buy the music kit and then transfer the songs onto your phone with that and then you can move them onto your memory card
