Transferring music files to your phone
Music plays audio files that are stored on your phone’s SD card, so before you open
Music, you must copy audio files from your computer onto the SD card.
Music supports a wide variety of audio file formats, so it can play music that you
purchase from online stores, music that you copy from your CD collection, and so on.
Music supports audio files in numerous formats, including MP3, M4A (iTunes
application AAC, DRM-free), AMR , MIDI, and OGG Vorbis.
To copy music files onto the phone’s SD card
1 Connect the phone to your computer with a USB cable and mount the SD card.
See “Connecting to a computer via USB” on page 60.
2 To organize your audio files, you can use the computer to create a music folder at
the top level of the SD card.
3 Use the computer to copy music and other audio files into the folder that you
created on the SD card.
You can use subfolders on the SD card to organize your music files. Or you can
simply copy the audio files to the top level of the SD card.
If the music files have accompanying artwork in JPEG format, rename the art file
albumart.jpg and include it in the same folder as the music files.
4 If you have created any playlists, create a subfolder for them in your music folder
on the SD card and copy the playlists into it.
5 Unmount the SD card from the computer and disconnect the phone.
Warning! To prevent damage to the files on your SD card, follow your computer’s instructions
and the instructions in “Connecting to a computer via USB” on page 60.
