I'm a cheapskate and I want to be able to play mp3 files on my basic bluetooth. It's a $30 Samsung slim model. My cell is a Samsung T401G. The pairing went fine and the calls come in great, but my mp3 files won't play on anything but the phone. I have mp3 files on my phone via a mini SD card and I know my phone is capable of pushing the mp3 files out, but when I try to play music, it searches for a device and says it's not found (while my tooth is on and blinking). Do I have to shell out more money to get this to work or is there a go around? Can I put something on my phone to make it push the mp3s out to my cheap 'lil tooth? My phone refers to a bluetooth headset vs a bluetooth "stereo" headset. Get the feeling there are different breeds of teeth and I have the wrong one to receive the music. Any tips would be warmly appreciated.
Re: Help in playing music to my Samsung blue tooth.
Unfortunately most phones cant use the bluetooth headset to play music thru you will need to purchase a set of bluetooth stereo headset (headphones) like these Google Search: Bluetooth Headphones

*** Following is for information only.***
* Brand and model for specific solutions.
* Most devices have some sort of "connection" to the outside world. Otherwise it's just a phone or document reader.
* Use the same method to transfer document (ebooks, PDF, pictures, etc.) but transfer the MP3 music files.
* You probably can download or transfer any digital file using this method. BUT you will need app to read or play them. IE: mp3 player app to play audio. (WAV audio may need a different app.)
* Mpeg3, MP3, MP4, AVI may need separate apps too.
* Your device does not have blue tooth but does have "Ear Buds" plug in.
* Many Blue tooth speakers may come with an "ear Bud" or Earphone plug adapter. This allows you to plug the speaker directly into your device without having to use Blue tooth. (Direct is better as it uses less power on your device.)
* Direct connection may give you a better sound (High Fidelity) than Blue tooth. Deeper bass, Higher Treble.
* Transfer files is possible on some devices by loading it directly to the SD memory card. Remove card from device and plug into lap top. Transfer files directly to music folder on card (note; load only file types that your device can play.) Return SD card to device and check files with app or File reader.
* You may be able to transfer files using the "Micro USB" or USB port on your device. Though many stopped this file transfer option. It's only used for recharging.
* Last method (most common) is to use "cloud drive" service. Many devices already come with remote data storage on the internet. They do this for low RAM devices. "You don't need Lots of RAM if everything is stored in the "Cloud". Use your laptop to transfer files to cloud and then access file from cloud to your device.
* Contact your device support for additional advice.

There are three different ways that you can download music onto
your samsung phone
Download from the wireless Web.
Download from a computer
using Samsung PC Studio II.
Receive via IrDA or Bluetooth
The browser solution of using the wireless Web is straightforward,
but you still have to figure out a site that has compatible audio
content.
The PC Studio II software is doubtless on the CDROM that came with
your phone, and if you can't find that, call Samsung and ask them to
send you a replacement CDROM. It has its own documentation and basically works like Windows
Media Player and other audio management packages: you hook up your
phone, drag MP3 files into the program and sync the two to copy the
music across. Should be pretty easy.
Finally, it is
always the easiest of the different possible ways you can both access
data on the phone and copy new material onto the phone too. You'd need
to have blue tooth capability on your PC, but you can buy blue tooth USB
attachments for about $25-30 so it's a pretty cheap investment for the
ease of grabbing photos, copying ring tones, etc.
The User's Guide has a detailed section on how to set up blue tooth on
the GT-S8500 then how to pair it with a computer (or headset or other
blue tooth peripheral) and that should get you going.
Or, if you have a friend with the same phone, you can use the Infrared
capabilities of the phone to transfer music and video files across:
:-) Have you changed your profile? Set it to normal and check.
secondly, while playing the music file, try increasing the volume and make sure that it does not playing in the blue tooth device option.
If your handset does not support stereo music on blue tooth headset, then you can not hear music on blue tooth head set. However you are able to answer and make calls through blue tooth headset.
The birate of your mp3 files is probably too high. And your phone provider would prefer if you listen to music bought at its store. That's why its complicated.
