Transferring Music to D750i (K750i)

[Harib0]

I'm really struggling to get music across to a D750i (same as K750i)

I've tried putting it in the MP3 folder, i've tried putting it in the media>music/Audio folder, it appears to copy fine, but once unplugged there is only a couple of tracks from a 12 song album!

Can anyone give me a really simple step by step how to, it's really doing my head in.

I have this phone and had no problems, by the sounds of it some of the songs you are transferring aren't compatible with the phone. What format are they in?

[Harib0]

They are mp3 Basically they are songs i have on my iPod which i have copied across from the Itunes Music folder in My music.

should the files be individually copied across? or can you copy them in folders?

Also how do i format the memory stick?

[BlueRiband]

I'm having the same problem? What Software are you using? Disktophone?

[JonSt]

Were they songs you purchased from iTunes, as that will be your problem.

[Funkstar]

Are they AAC or actual MP3 tracks? IF they are AAC and purchased from iTunes they will have DRM restrictions applied so as JonSt said, they will not work with your phone. Likewill if they have been imported to iTUnes, make sure it hasn't applied DRM to your tracks (i don't know if iTunes does this - never used iTunes - but i believe Windows Media Player has the option to do this when importing tracks)

As for copying across put them in the same folder that has the VideoDJ folder. Tracks inside folders are fine.

As for formatting, Menu -> File Manager then press More and go to 'Format ext. mem.'

[JonSt]

Basically what Funkstar said, I cant remember exactly the formats that the phone supports, but I know its not mp4, which is what music from iTunes is.

[Funkstar]

MP4 and ACC are the same thing, which is does support, just not ones wrapped up in the so called FairPlay DRM that Apple uses. The *only* device not made by apple that plays these tracks is the Motorola ROKR

Cheers for that.



The mp3s are from CD not purchased from iTunes, previously i've just been dragging and dropping the album folder, i've downloaded the disc2phone softwear so i'll have a go with that tonight, i was thinking it was a dodgy 2gb card but i can't seem to do it on the card that came with the phone either

[Funkstar]

should be ok with dragging them across, thats how i do it. actually i take the card out and use the card reader built into my laptop as it is a *lot* quicker

[JonSt]

I didn't use any software when I did it. The phone just appeared as a removable disk and i copied songs from my library to the phone.

Via the usb cable, exactly what i've been trying to do

[Funkstar]

ok, home now.

When the phone is connected and seen as a removable drive i have the following folders:

DCIM
MP3
MSSEMC

all my music is in MSSEMC -> Media Files -> Audio

these can be in sub folders or just as files in there as well.

on my w810i all my music is in MP3, in the same folder structure as funkstar.

are they variable bitrate (does it support that, i dunno) might have something to do wiht it.

What bitrate do i need? Just going to try disc2phone now and i notice there is the option to change the bitrate, at current target bitrate is 128K bps

[Funkstar]

should be fine. for MP3 i think it handles all the standard bitrates (32 up to 320)
