Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The biggest unknown on this phone I'm sure. I've recently found out that the miniSD card must be formatted with the phone by pressing/holding the play/pause key on the front of the phone. You then can insert the card into a reader and locate the appropriate folder (MY_FLIX, MY_MP3, MY_PIX, MY_SOUNDS). Should be self explainatory from there. Hope it helps.

I got the VX8000. And I was wondering how do I donwload songs on it besides buying it on the Verizon Wireless Tones Deluxe?

I got the VX8100 and i can't figure out how to format the miniSD card on my computer... everytime i try to copy files into the card it says the card must be formatted but even after I did it on the phone it gave me the same message... could someone please email detailed directions on how to get this damn thing working...

Instructions For LG VX8100 MP3 Player

All, KyZiX stated exactly what you need to do. I have this working now. Here is what you need to do:
1) the mini-SD card MUST be formatted via your phone - the formatting places folders on the card. When formatting your card via the phone, you may be asked for a code. This code is typically the last for digits of the phone number for your phone.
2) The mp3 songs must be stored in the mp3 music folder that is created on your mini-SD card after you have formatted. This is the only directory your phone will read your music from. If you just place a mp3 song directly on the card, your phone will say it doesn't see any mp3 songs.
3) to get mp3 songs to the mini-SD card, you will either need to have a card reader for your PC or have the USB cable that allows you to connect your phone to your PC. I used a card reader. They're very inexpensive.

TJM

who thinks yao ming should shut the fuck up since ppl bought the phone partially because of its mp3 playing capabilities? i do... cuz if u buy a phone saying it plays mp3s, u expect it to play mp3s and are pissed when it doesnt do what its supposed to. secondly, mp3s arent ringtones dumbass, theyre full songs dummy...yao ming is a big fuckin homo and should have his legs broken for his utter stupidity. eat shit yao, eat my shit... thanks.. by the way i got mine to work so its no skin off my back... u gotta program the miniSD disk in the phone before you hook it up to the computer so it recognizes the mp3 folder when u plug it into the computer. put the card in, press and hold the play/pause button and program it into your phone before hooking it up to the PC... oh ya and go fuck a goat yao, u stupid motherfucker

oh ya... and learn how to spell "voilla" u fuckin ditch pig... sound it out like the 2 yr old dummy u r... does "vio-alla" sound right to u? what the fuck were u trying to say? do u stutter? do u live in your moms basement? r u like 45 yrs old? if u answered yes to all of the above, youre probably yao fuckin dumbshit ming, the village fuck... peace, go on!

To address the latest questions:

Lauren -
To format the card using the phone, do the following: go to Menu, then Settins & Tools. Scroll down and click System (#4). Scroll down and click Manage Memory. Scroll down and click Card Memory. In the bottom right corner, you'll see a 'Options' selection - click the right "-" button to go into this option. You should then see the "Format Card" option. Click "OK" to format your card. This will create folders on your memory card. After the card is formatted, put the card in your card reader and copy your mp3 fils to the mp3 music folder that was created.

Jake -
Per my original note, you have to format your card in your phone first, then copy you mp3 songs to the mp3 music folder that gets created per the formatting. If you copy the music directly to the card, the phone will not see the songs.

yeah i formatted the card for the phone but it still wont let me put mp3s into the folder. i have an sd slot on my computer so i use that to transfer. the pictures worked, i could transfer pictures back and forth but not mp3s...

Kyle W -

It may be the 'format' of your mp3's. I found today that some mp3's that I put on the disk would not play on the phone, yet they work via WinAmp just fine.

you guys suck this is so easy

JUST CALL 1-800-922-0204 AND ASK THEM YOUR PROBLEM WITH THE MP3 PLAYER

arite. so. i have the scandisk reader and the mini SD card. i formatted my mini SD card on the phoen with the given directions, and i have the mp3 folder now. When i try to drag the songs to the folder and i drop them in it says "Cannot copy ... The disk is write-proected. Remove write protection or use another disk" So i've tried other mp3's, and tried another disk too (my brother has the same phone and tried his card.)

pleasssseeeeee help! thankyas.

So, I get the MP3 from the beginning. I must have lucked into making it work. My friggin problem is that it only sorts the songs my track # and not album.. So, if I have, say, 4 CD's on my stick, it has all 4 song # 1's then all 4 song #2's. Kinda sucks. Is there a way to get it to organize them my Artist and not Track #?

hey i need to directions on how to use the mp3's thanks( Irontweety@aol.com )

To answer all of your comments once and for all:
I have the vx8100 & I've been playing all my mp3s perfectly. First of all, yes format the card on your phone. Make sure you have SW version (you can get to this by hitting menu/go to settings & tools/system/device info/sw version) T81VZV04. If you have 02 or anything other than 04, YOU CANNOT PLAY MP3S. Now format the card by menu/settings & tools/system/manage memory/card memory/options(right soft key)/format card, or for you dumbasses, insert the card, then turn off the phone then on again. If you have a mac, I can't help you unfortunately. If you have a pc w/ windows 2001 and have recorded mp3s insert card into card reader/go to start/my mp3s/right click on the song you want/"send to"(usually it's g:drive, if you don't know what drive, you have no business attempting this-ask your local geek)/once you have your playlist all sent to the card go to start/my computer/open g:drive or whatever drive the card is in/you should see the card menu-"My Pix, My Flix, My MP3, My sounds"/under "My Sounds" you should see all your songs, simply drag the songs into "My MP3". Once all songs are in "My MP3", you can rename them by double-clicking on the title so that you can sort them by artist. What I mean is you pick the order by renaming the track number. Let's just say, one of your song's name is "04 Gasolina"(or whatever retarded song is popular right now)but you want it played as the 10th song. Rename it "10 Gasolina". Another way the player sorts by artist is if you use the shuffle feature(right soft key while MP3s are playing). If you're using Windows Media Player, make sure when you rip music, it is ripped in MP3 format. Not wav format. To do this open Windows Media/maximise it(hit the square in the upper-righthand corner b/w the underscore and the "X")/go to options/go to"rip" folder/in the middle of the screen there should be wav or mp3 highlighted, if mp3 isn't highlighted, select mp3/hit ok/ rip the songs you want from your cds/ now go to the sync tab on top/edit the playlist you want/go to start sync on the upper right/once it is finished go to start/my computer/open g:drive or whatever drive the card is in/you should see the card menu-"My Pix, My Flix, My MP3, My sounds"/under "My Sounds" you should see all your songs, simply drag the songs into "My MP3". Now remove the card and insert it into the phone. Once inside the phone, press and hold the play button on the outside of the phone. Your list should appear, if not, e-mail me @ sgtpeppersband9@yahoo.com. After you see the list, press play again. Enjoy. If you found my description of the song Gasolina to be offensive, direct all comments to the wall in front of you and try and increase your i.q. to where it isn't equivalent to a rattle. Voila!(That one's for you, buster. Be more patient w/ people, you'll be alot happier)You're welcome.

send directions please to mcz101 at verizon dot net

thanks!

Verizon lied to us all.I just spent the afternoon on the phone W/ Tech support.If you want to download any thing its pretty clear you will have to buy it from Verizon music sites.Technically,its MP3.Actually its just just somthing else to buy.....Thanks for nothing VeriSon

I found out how to get wma's to go on there, but they won't play?

on my old phone i was able to use a website that would take any mp3 from my computer and convert it to the type of file it needs to be so that i can send it to my phone as a text or picture and then i could assign it to my phone as a ring.....WELLL.......
NOT ON THIS NEW PIECE OF CRAP, THE VX9800!! CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIGURE THAT OUT? i have gone and purchased a mini card....formatted it....saved my sonds to it.....and now they will not become a ringtone.....geesh. i need help. if you know how to make it happen, please email me: dawnreid@quickenloans.com thank you!!!

if i have sw version t81vzv06, does that mean i can not put songs on my phone? in any format? why would verizon do an update from one that played mp3's to one that cant!?

No problem formatting the card, but when i try to drag the songs to the MP3 folder and i drop them in it says "Cannot copy ... The disk is write-proected. Remove write protection or use another disk"
Verizon claims the card is bad, or the songs are write protected to protect piracy. I told Verizon I owned the cd's, and that there was nothing wrong with the card, because it formats, and files are added. They have no answer other than, did you buy the card from Whorizon, or is the card reader from Whorizon.. Please help, what's up with the card write protection? I have SW version 4 on my VX8100.
T.I.A.

USE BITPIM WOW NOOBS

OKAY Here's my problem.
I formatted the card with the phone but it only shows 3 folders not four. Is it because it was formated by the computer at first, and reformatted with the phone? Can anyone help ?

Thanks

so my sw version is T81VZV06 is it still possible to play MP3's??? ive done everything that has been posted and that is the only thing that is different.

I used some of the information posted to get my mp3 to work on my phone and it worked. Now my problem is that my computer won't let me open the folders on the card because it says that it has to be formatted. I tried to format it but it says windows cannot format. So now I can't do anything with it and I dont know what to do.
Can someone please help me?

Ok. After several hours of scouring the net, here is how I got my MP3 player to work on the VX8100. I put bits and pieces from different forums together. You must first enable MP3 capability. If this is not enabled, you will not see a MY_MP3 folder when the mini-sd card is formatted. This is the problem I kept encountering and couldn't find any way to get the MP3 folder to show on the mini-SD card. Here is what was done:

Enabling MP3

Menu
0
000000 (when the ?????? is displayed)
11 (Music Settings)
MP3 Enable

Formatting mini-SD

Settings and Tools
4 (System)
4 (Manage Memory)
3 (Card Memory)
Options (lower right corner)
1 (Format Card)

Enabling PLAY Shortcut Key (front panel)

Settings and Tools
1 (Tools)
3 (Shortcut Key)
2 (Play Key)
My MP3s

Ok. That is it. Now remove your mini-SD card, insert into your favoriate card reader and PC. Copy the MP3 files to the MY_MP3 folder on the mini-SD card. Insert mini-SD card back in to your VX8100 and enjoy all of your songs.

I hope this helps you all out and good luck. The is absolutely zilch for documentation from Verizon on how to use the MP3 player. They stress using WMA files via VCAST.

Damn, that helps a lot. I just got my 8100 last week and I was told the MP3 player would never work and that the model I had wouldn't. Well with dave's instructions I got it working perfectly. Thanks much.

DOES ANY1 NO HOW T0 PUT VIDEOS ON A LG VX 9800

I read Dave's post but when I get to the step that says 11 (Music Settings) mine only goes to 10, will it ever work?

Exactly what I needed, Dave, thanks!!

Josh, perhaps Dave's directions are only for SW version 06 or higher? Do you know, Dave? I have SW version 06 and your directions worked perfectly!

Thanks Dave that worked

One note that I just discovered....at least for me on my 8100 (with a 512M memory card) the mp3's must be 128k encoded mp3's...nothing else seems to work.

ok...so i have a audiovox CDM-8940 phone and a minisd card. i would like to put music from cds i have to the mini sd card. please tell me how to do this step by step and if i need to get anything else to make it work. also if there is a way to do it though real player or windows media would help too!!

please email me at mixdfeelings08@aim.com as soon as poosible if you know how to do this

okay...i read pretty much all of these, and i have to say so far dave helped the most..i only have a 128 mb but it seems to be sufficient...but im still having a little problem transfering the MP3 to the card...i have all of the folders listed, including the MP3 one, but it wont let me choose a folder to put it into. It just automatically adds it to the bottom of the card below all the folders, and i cant drag and drop it in a folder either. Im using Windows Media Player to do this all, and im wondering if there is a better way? can any one help? my email is cmcyclones19@aol.com...plz help.

ps. also, through my experimenting with all of this, i checked the space on my card and every time i try to add something and it didnt work, it still used up space. I was wondering if any one knew how to delete stuff off of the card?

does anyone know how to change the bit rate of songs? if so either post the answer, cuz im sure other people will have that problem, or email me @ cmcyclones19@aol.com...thanx

Ok I have my SD mini card and everything but everytime I try to transfer something I get "Cannot copy ... The disk is write-proected. Remove write protection or use another disk" which makes no sense because I'm trying to copy off my cds! Can anyone help?

okay i have a different question.
i got the MP3s to work. but this is about pix/flix messages.

i was able to see them when they were sent to me, but now when i go to open any, it says 'failed to play video' even if it's a picture. & idk why.

how do i get it to show me them?

MP3 enabling (a'la menu>0>000000>11>enable) is valid, even after the 1/16/06 switch to WMA format. For those of you who do not wish to screw with the settings, utilizing a program like Sound Forge you can convert formats and bitrates. To the best of my knowledge, once you enable MP3 playback, the bitrate limit is 320K *at least it used to be*. I have 160K MP3's on my card, and they play just fine.

AFTER THE 1/16/06 SWITCH TO V CAST, 8100 UTILIZES 64K WMA FORMAT AS DEFAULT. Higher bitrates WILL work in WMA format without enabling MP3 playback. I have tested as high as 160k with no problems. You MUST format the card ON THE PHONE FIRST (menu>Settings>4>4>3>Options>Format)in order to use it with a card reader on your computer.

In regards to video, the format for the VX8100 is either *.3g2 or *.3gp
This format is viewable with Apple Quicktime versions 7 and above. You can also convert other formats to 3gp using any of a number of available converters (I personally would recommend ImToo 3GP Converter)

Email punish3r@softhome.net with questions about process, not about program/file locations.

okey after you format your card how do u transfer the songs to your mp3 file and where do u get them from?

how do i get mp3 on my vx8100?? i got front buttons and dont know how to use them

You need to format your MiniSD card on your phone before you can load MP3's onto it. Once it is formatted, get a card reader and then load MP3's from your computer to your card (just copy and paste them if you wish), make sure you put the MP3's in the MP3 folder. Put the card back in your phone and then hold the play/pause button for 2 seconds. If anyone is interested, I switched to Sprint and am selling my VX8100, I bought it in October and can't use it with Sprint. If you are interested email me at rew2003@hotmail.com.

I'm back. For all of you who have had problems w/ mp3s on this phone, it may be b/c the new software only plays wma files. Or you're blind!!! Hello! A retarded monkey could follow my directions! Why did Verizon make the phones only play wmas? Because obviously simply syncing a card is too much for your limited cognitive capacity. I posted info on how to get music on the new software handsets on the samsung a950 forum.

I have an LG 9800. When I go to format my mini sd, its says formatting failed. What could possibly be the problem?

For all those who got "disk is write protected" - you can LOCK your miniSD card when it's in the bigger SD adapter sleeve (if you have that, mine came with it) - slide the tiny little white switch on the card and try it again. It might have been locked before you got it.

question for dave, i did what u said to do and it worked, but if i go to verizon with a problem with my phone, can they tell i messed with those settings and void the warranty or no?, and btw... THAT YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT HELP! i spent 40 bucks on the card and reader and thought that i should just cut my losses and call it a day, and right before i closed this window i found ur help, but if u could send ur answer to laxdrummer04@gmail.com that would kick ass, THANKS AGAIN!

hey guys thanks for the help, i got my 8100 last night and couldnt get mp3's to play until coming here today..the only problem im having is that not all of the mp3's on my 256 card are playing...is there a way i could change that? cuz i would like to be able to listen to more than 19 songs on it..thanks

I have a verizon LG9800.

Thank you for the lock code.
Format still fails.
I have a SanDisk 2gb minisd card.

what format video does the phone play?
can i format movies and put them on my phone?

So, I bought the phone yesterday, and they sold me a Kit with a usb cord to connect my phone to my pc. But when i do that, my pc says it can't detect a portable device. it also says, "Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct." Is there anything i can do, or is it just best to buy a Sd mini adaptor??

I just want to say thanks to Dave for posting the best how-to I've read on the internet. I've been racking my brain on how to play my MP3s and Verizon just tells you that you cant, it only plays WMAs. HaHa Verizon!! WooHoo!

If I record a sound under my sounds how can i use that as my ringer?!?!?!

I would also like to say thanks Dave for the input

According to Verizon I was supposed to be adequately warned that my vx8100 would no longer play mp3's.

Ahem, thank you Verizon, it wasn't until I received a replacement phone and found that my mp3's didn't play and several calls and visits to your stores that I found out that I could only play WMA's.

Thank you Dave for the instructions to put it back into MP3 mode!

According to Verizon, Microsoft had no bearing on the change. Yeah, right...

Hi everybody
I am having trouble w/ the video playback from the minisd card. I have formatted the card and it plays the mp3's and wma music, but I can't get my video's that I have on the card to play. I have the converter to put them into .3gp format. The phone will show the file as a playable one but it will just sit there without starting and showing 00:00 on the playback time. I tried to talk to verizon tech support @ the store, I was better off talking to a wall. Then I tried speaking w/ there on the phone tech support (useless) they told me that it was impossible I had to buy there vcast and download only there videos, surprise they want more money from me.
Please can someone please help me with this problem, I know its possible because other people on forums say it is but won't tell me how.
Thanks in advance God Bless

If you are having a problem with songs transferring from your computer but not appearing on the your phone's list of songs, here is a hint. We had a problem and called Verizon and they said that songs with really long titles or names, will not appear. Just right click on the song on your computer and rename it to a shorter title and it should work.

Hope this is helpful.

Bill

this is soo annoying i got everything to work i have the four folders in my DRIVE:G but when i try to drag or copy the files into the My MP3s folder it says cannot copy because of write protection. so how do i remove the write protection?

simon there is a little slide button on the side of mini card adapter. slide it back

I am having trouble playing my WMA files on my VX8100. I am getting a "player error" message and "unable to aquire licence" message on my LG VX8100. Is there any way to play these files (that I own) on my phone.

Thank You All!!
after having read the many post, after days of fustration, I finally am playing MP3's on my LG VX8100. :) Dave you made it as easy as ABC!
Withoutthe detailed instructions I would never have known how to actualyy activate the MP3 feature!!
You are a Gem!!

Thanx DAVE!!! The length of the name of the mp3 was the problem, I was checking bit rates, reformatting files. Thinking way too advanced. Wow, something as simple as length of name.

i just found a very easy way to download songs in to the phone without paying for vcast... all u need is the data cable and windows media player.but if u dont have a memory card u ill not be able to download more than 3 songs in to it , and u can use the front buttons to play misic.

can you please email and teach me how to get the mp3 to work? it says "no songs found in memory card" when i think there really is...

Hey Peeps,

I am having the same problems as everyone else. I have bought a 2GB miniSD card for the phone but how do I get MP3s onto it? Thanks for your help.

Hey.. i was wondering if it is possible to use mp3 songs as ringtones on my VX8100.. my mp3 is working fine i just cant get it to use it as a ringtone.. maybe it just wont work i dont know.. any answers???

I found out what the problem is with mp3s! first you must format your miniSD like stated in some posts above, but some versions can play mp3s and some can't. For those who can't play mp3s, WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER files will work.

i am having proboblems. i have done all of the suggjested steps there are. i have transfered the songs to mp3..didn't work. i don't know what i am doing wrong. will someone help me please. i have formated the phone. reloaded the songs. just everything...does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

All you have to do on the lg 8100 is rename the song so it is small enough so it works it took me almost a week to figure it out for example if you have a song that says bowwow with omarion let me hold you rename it to let me hold you and it will work.
thanks craig
any questions fire me a email

ok well I have a the 8100, a miniSD card, and a USB data cable, now i need to know what program I can use to get MP3's from my comp to my phone. I have used BitPim, but that just sends music to My Ringtones section, and I want them in MY MP3's so I can actually save more the one because the My Ringtones memory is limited. Please Help

Thadiverse1@comcast.net

Has anybody found a solution to get past the "failed" message when trying to format a 2gb mini-SD card on LG VX9800? I would love to hear what they did.

DAVE -YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if people would just follow his directions step by step, any model of the vx8100 will work just like he said. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BUDDY! YOU MADE MY FUCKING NIGHT!

I want to put music on my new 8100. I have read most of the problems on here. is there any need to buy the software Verizon is selling. or can I use my music manager that I have on my PC, a cable and a SC card.

how can i turn the write protection from the mini sd plea sen men the enswer to my email thankyou

please help me to turn off the write protection from the mini sd

anyone have an update on Verizon's/LG's "promise" to offer a software update that would allow the use of 2.0 GB mini SD card for the 8100. I spoke with a representative from VZ and he told me it was coming "any day now". I think that was about 3 months ago. Would appreciate any information!!

Thanks!

A lot of people have asked how to put videos. You need to convert the videos to 3gp or 3g2 format! MP2, MP4, AVI files, etc. will not work!

Go search on Google "avi to 3gp" or something. =)

I am have little problem. I format the sd card once and once,If i download 4 songs inside the sd card, appears 2 in the phone, and if i download 12 appears 9 or 10, never appears all i have inside the sd card.
I appreciated any information.

***ATTENTION***

If your LG vx8100 phone does not come with the mp3 option, there are a few easy steps to access it.
1)go to the main menu, then press zero "0"
2)your phone will then ask you for a service code,...press zero six times.
3)then go to the "music setting" option, which is the last one, then choose, "enable mp3"

that is all it takes, but "WARNING", do not mees around with that hidden menu, it could screw up your phone.

Have you all heard of BitPim?

It's a program that you can use on your computer that will convert any wav/mp3/etc file into a ringtone, and then upload it to your computer (provided it's connected via a USB cable, of course)!

http://www.bitpim.org/

It will also archive your phone book/call lists, messages, and pics/wallpapers.

You can convert existing pics on your computer into wallpapers, as well.

Pretty cool program...and I'm not having to pay anyone for the ringtones that >>>I<<< want!

(Oh, you can also edit any mp3/wav, etc file so you can just use the portion of it that you want for your ringtone!)

I have read most all of the instructions. I got much further with these over anything VZW would give me. However, I cannot get my PC to recognize that the mini SD card is in the card reader. I know the card reader works with the SD card my camera uses. I have gone thru the format procedure with the mini SD in the phone. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Having the same problem as Tim, card reader won't detect the mini-sd with mini to full size sd adapter. My other full size sd cards work fine on the card reader, but it's not detecting the mini-sd.

One more thing, my card is a 2gb card, and when i format on the phone it only formats 1gb of it. I tried transferring mp3s from bitpim, but it's slow and doesn't show up on the cell. It checks out on memory usage though, just can't see the file.

When i take pics and save to the card, i can download it through bitpim. Haven't tried uploading pics by bitpim yet.

Thanks for the help with the MP3s Dave!

Anyone know what section of your phone you can see the MP3s, or can you just hit the play button on front fro two secs to play them?

Also, can I use these MP3s as my ringtone?

Thanks!

to get the mp3 player to work you get the memory card and put it into the card reader which is plugged in to your usb port(only works with xp) after you download the songs on the pc you send the songs to your e:drive or whatever it may be that will be the memory card for your phone. after you put all the songs on there you have to click on the drive you sent the songs to. that will bring a menu up for mp3 then drag the songs into the file. after that take the card out of the reader. turn the phone off and put the card in. turn on phone and go to get tones and tunes your mp3 player should come up( make sure you turn the phone off if this is the first time you put your card in or it wont work).....and for the buttons to work on the front just for mp3 just hold the play button down for a few seconds and it should pop up...if this doesnt work take your phone in for an upgrade but it really shouldnt need to be upgraded. ive had my vx8100 for over a year and no new upgrades are available. animal...

Something is wrong with the mini-sd to sd adapter card adapter that came with my card. My sd card reader can't access the mini-sd with the adapter. Doesn't see the card.

I'm able to use the mini-sd on the phone though. Just have to erase the my_mp3.dat on bitpim after transferring mp3s through bitpim. But extremely slow, need a new card reader with a mini-sd slot, without adapters.

Thanks Animal the MP3 menu is there now - funny thought I turned off my phone before, but guess I didn't. I am guessing that no one out there knows how to set your MP3s as your ringtone? If you have any ideas please post or email me (posting is probally better so that it can help more peeps) Thanks All!

OK I am still frustrated with all of this. I cannot get my card reader to recognize that the mini SD card is there. Any suggestions?

2gb cards do not work in LG9800, you need to go buy a 1gb. This was from sandisk tech support.

My card is a 1 gb. My card reader is a SanDisk and I have tried using the mini SD card with the adaptor and have tried putting the mini SD directly into that slot on the reader. My PC recognizes the card reader, but does not recognize that the card is in place. My phone is an LG VX8100.

is there a way to make folders for you mp3's on the lg8100 or do you just have to scroll through them.

i would like to know how to make mp3s my ringtones. anyone know how to? animal

i got it!

How can I remove a write protection on my mini sd. My card did not use to be like that , but now it wont let me drag files over to my card. Can anyone help?

Ok, I am sick of hearing, "The front bottons just do not work." Listen, they do. If you have music on your phone, just hold the play/pause button until you see the name of your song on the front screen. You can there, change songs using the |>| buttons.

Can someone please email me the directions also.
Patsi.eltz@verispan.com Thanks.

Need information. I format my 1gb mini sd, once and once, if i download 100 mp3 songs, why always apears 70 mp3 songs on the phone, is it normal. When i open the mini sd in my reader apears my 100 mp3 ......magic.....or what....please need information....

You guys are all liars, I can't believe I listened to you guys at all. This is La Primera for Life, por Vida Esse....

Somos Pocos per Locos...
Come Mierda Putos!!!

In response to saro_f's question about only 70 songs showing when you load 100, I've experimented and found that if you rename the songs and take out all punctuation (commas, quotes, etc.) out of the song name, the song names should then show. I haven't figured out exactly which punctuation marks mess it up and I think dashes- are okay, but you just kinda gotta take out unnecessary punctuation.
Thanks.

I just bought this phone today and i can not get this "WRITE-PROTECTION" to go away. Every time I try to drag the music to the "My Music" folder it says "Content is write-protected cannot put them on the card...... Someone plzzz help me im getting pissed off because i cant get passed this friggen write protection thing.

can some1 plz send me a site for a working 3g2 conv. so i can play movies send to got_cash2@yahoo.com

you need to rip the cd and then sync the phone to media player 10

hey everyone

I have a 1 gig san disk mini sd card and a mobile mate usb 2.0 reader. I have done absolutley eveythin possible with this phone from every single blog in every different possible oreder at least 15-20 times. I have put the files in the mp3 folder, i have formatted and reformatted my phone countless times and have followed directions step by step to the T. today i went into verizon and even got an update and still nothing. My only conclusion to the problem is that it may be converted on the card in the wrong format...possibly WMA or WAV... but windows media player 10, which i have, gives no explanation on which format it is currently in or how to convert the files to a different format... I am seriously pissed because i have just bought an sd card and converter worth around 90$ and have put days of research into this phone...i am about ready to take it outside and strap an m80 to it if i cant get it to work soon. even the techs dont know whats up. If anybody has any information regarding the phone or a method/player that will successfully convert my files to the right format, a.k.a mp3, please contact me with the info at calvinrossbarnes@aim.com. As soon as possible please before my phone ends up strapped to half a stick of dynamite. Thanks

so check it
all my music, to my recent knowledge of simply putting the cursor on a song, is in WMA format...there in lies my problem. I have read, from an excerpt written by marcelo a while back, that you have to recopy your cds in mp3 format. Though in itself this is very possible...that is alot of music to recopy...days worth actually. does anybody know a method in which to convert WMA files to MP3 files on windows media player 10 without having to recopy all my music? calvinrossbarnes@aim.com

thanks

HEY ATTENTION

WILL SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME GET THE WRITE PROTECTION OFF SOMEHOW. EVERY TIME I TRY TO SINC A mp3 TO THE MINI SD IT SAYS "The media is write protected."

PLZ HELP ME

-John

Hey I just got the LG-8300. I baught the card that is required to have the suffcent memory, yet I cant figure out how to move my music to the card then to the phone. Can someone please email me and help me out... thanks
GForce26@hotmail.com

*******I have the same problem as everyone else with the lg vx8100, how to get mp3 onto my phone from my computer using a mini sd card. Special format needed? what is the process that needs to be taken for this to work? someone please help me out and e-mail me directions, much appreciation. derekw09@email.arizona.edu

I notice that a lot of you are having trouble with the write protection on your mini disks. I'd been having that problem and just figured out the issue. The adapter into which I've been putting my mini card is so cheap that whenever I slide it into the reader, the little tab slides down to the write protect position. I discovered this when I noticed that whenever I pulled it out, it was in the down, rather than up, position. Solved the problem by putting a little piece of tape on it (being sure not to cover the other tab position or the little gold connectors). Good luck.

Just got off with verizon. trying to tell me that my kingston 1gb minisd card may be teh problem and they have no answers. I tried 2 cards and after formatting 3 folders will ppear on my computer but no mp3 file. I can drag music onto disc but not into a folder and when i press the play button on my screen no mp3 player comes up. I am using a usb gadget and have an 8100 phone. Any advice. Is there any upgrades i need or missing something? I will go nuts on verizon if they screwed me into a phone that doesnt do what they claimed it did......Kinston is a good disc company. are any of you using kingston discs?

People this is how you get the mp3's to work, follow carefully. This is stuff Verizon won't tell you because they want you to buy their music.

First of all, this is assuming everyone has a mini sd card/sd reader. If you don't you can get them at Best Buy for pretty cheap. I got my 1gb off Amazon for $35. Plus $15 for the reader/writer.

SD Card Formatting Instructions:

1. Insert card into phone.
2. Go to "Settings & Tools"
3. Go down to number 4 "System"
4. Then 4 again "Manage Memory"
5. Then "Card Memory"
6. Hit the right arrow "options"
7. Then format card.
8. Your code is the last 4 numbers of your phone number.
9. Then yes to format.
10. BOOM!

MP3 Enabling Instructions:

1. Press Menu
2. Press "0" 7 times to access the service features. (this is what Verizon won't tell you)
3. Go down to Number 11 - Music Settings.
4. Enable MP3.
5. Then go to "Tools"
6. Go down to "Shortcut Key"
7. Then down to 2. Play Key
8. Then hit the second choice, "My MP3's"
(This will enable you to use the front mp3 player)

Then insert your card into your reader, open up My Computer and double click whatever letter the reader is, mine is "H:". Then you have directories, drag and drop mp3's into the "MY_MP3" folder. Once done insert card into phone. Then hold front panel play/pause button for 2 seconds. Your mp3's will come up.

Closing Notes:
- MP3 player must be enabled before formatting so you get the "MY_MP3" directory.

Thank you and God bless.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT!
That helped sooo much and now i have music on my cellphone. I cant believe that was the problem all along...

ATTENTION: Anyone having trouble with the "write protection", look on the left side of you mini sd adapter and turn the switch up. It will take the write protection error off!

ty again for your help!

I have an LG VX-8100 and would like to use my MP3's as RINGTONES.. Please send directions.

jj74nmi@yahoo.com

I Was wondering if anyone knows how to change there Music that is in there phone into ringtones that was syncronized into the phone then turned into a Ringtone how do I do it does anyone know?

Please Email me with the information at Either Sugardaddy125@msn.com or at Rocky_Mountains_Coors_24@yahoo.com

Is it possible to make music playlists (LG VX8100), or can we only play all the songs on the card at a time? Thanks

dragracer31m@aol.com

Is there any way to make mp3's/wma's that you have on ur memory card into ringtones for the phone or ringer IDs? I know you need to have it to the phone memory so is there a way to transfer/copy music from memory card to the phones memory. Send directions/suggestions to clance227@cox.net

thank you dave and thanks for this site
mine works great now.

i was wondering if anyone figured out if and how you can create subfolders in the MP3 folder itself. I would want to use this for the different artists so they all arent just one group of songs together.

A friend of mine has the red Samsung phone from Verizon and it has a complete playlist/MP3 player style on it where you can sort the MP3s by artist, genre, etc. and there is even a separate feature for shuffle. It's like having a fully featured MP3 player. I have the LG VX8100. Does anyone know if I can get these great features? Or am I stuck with having a list that I need to thumb through each time I want to hear songs? Thanks! troyc1@cox.net

someone tell me the unlock code for the keypad please

ian, if you havent changed it, it should be the last 4 digits of your phone number i believe.

and im also looking to use my music as ringtones, is there any way??

PLEASE READ

***ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED***

I read the message from above from "YOUR GOD" on how to format the disk, i did all of that and when i plug the disk into the USB device and into the computer it says:

The disk in drive F: is not formatted.
Do you wish to format it now?

I click YES and then START... it scans it for about 4 seconds and then says:

Windows was unable to complete the format.

Its at this point that i am tempted to kill somebody or possibly myself. Please help me!!!

Thank you very much...

If you are still having problems with write protection, and are putting the miniSD in the card reader directly (without the adapter), make sure it is perfectly straight. I kept putting mine in just slightly crooked, and it gave me the write protected error. I took it out and put it in very carefully, and it worked.

I NO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS FOR THE RIGHT PROTECTION!
SEEE THE LITTLE GRAY THING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CARD ADAPTER.... PUSH IT SO IT IS NOT ON LOCK.
THERE U GO!

ok now this is pissin me off i went to menu then did the zero pass word thing and when i go down to the bottom theres no music settings it jus goes to 10 theres no 11 so it would be alot of help if someone told me how to fix it.. thax

ant..u prob dont have up to date software...go to a Verizon store and have Technical Service take care of that

ok I love this phone now that I have got all this going on it now, stopped paying the 15 bucks a month for vcast cuz you do not need it to play music or mp3 even though verizon tells you that you do. So if you read this whole page you will learn how to make mp3s to ringtones on your phone with "bitpim" its very easy. also transfer all your videos pics and anything off your phone to your pc. Also how to change your phone that verizon told you that you can not play mp3s on so you can very easily. Just buy the minisd card and a card usb card reader\writer 5 bucks on ebay. format the card and then put in the reader and then plug into your pc and drag all your mp3s to the my mp3 folder and put back in the phone and you have all your mp3s there, obvioulsy you need to read above on how to change the music settings in the phone to play mp3s but it is very easy as well. SO no I get all the free ringtones and play mp3s on my phone and I am not paying verizon one extra cent. So that rules
the only problem I am having now and I cant seem to find anyone who has solved this yet
how can you copy videos to your phone so you can watch them on the phone.
I have tried converting avi mpg4 all the video formats to 3g2 or 3gp and then copied them to the card and the phone sees them but doesnt play them.
if anyone has had any sucess with this myself and I am sure most of us would love to hear it
thanks

Thank u guys very much!!!! I have one LG 9800 from verizon and i recently got my Sd card i after readind these posts here i finaly got my phone to play mp3 thanks for everyone who posted help!!!
Thats y i love internet cuz here we are free and we can claim our rights!!!

OK SECRET PHONE MENU hit menu and press 0
then press 0 6 more times, scroll down to 11 and make sure mp3 is enabled.
put ur card into the card reader, drag mp3 to mp3 folder, wma to my music, 3gp/3g2 to my flix, jpeg to my pix

I highly recommend using bitpim, you can add free ringers, and many other features; works through bluetooth or data cable

its not that hard.

OK FOLKS FOR THOSE WITH THE MP3 PROBLEM WITH THE LG 8300 AND CAN'T GET OR DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR V-CAST HERE YA' GO!! STRAIGHT FROM THE "GOOD GUY" THAT I AM (AND I AM A VERIZON SALESMAN TO)...AND DAMNIT I WOULD GET FIRED IF THEY FOUND OUT :) .. ITS ACTUALLY PRETTY EASY... HERE WE GO... THIS IS FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH A SD MEMORY CARD AND A USB CARD READER

STEP 1: To enable outside phone buttons to play mp3:
From main screen press OK and then the number 0 seven times (you’ll see a series of question marks disappear). Then scroll all the way down and press #11 (Music Setting). Finally, choose My mp3.

STEP 2: To get MP3s to play, including ringtones – Press OK (Menu) and go to Settings and Tools, press 5 (phone settings), press 2 (shortcut key), press 5 (play key), and choose my mp3s.

STEP 3: FORMATTING THE SD (MEMORY CARD) IF THERE IS ANYTHING ON THE CARD AT ALL GET RID OF IT.... MOVE IT TO YOUR PHONE OR YOUR COMPUTER... WHATEVER YOU WANT, JUST MAKE SURE THE CARD IS EMPTY... AFTER ITS EMPTY PLACE IT BACK INTO THE PHONE AND PRESS THE PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON ON THE FRONT OF THE PHONE.... THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU A MESSAGE THAT READS SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF "NO MUSIC FOUND"... PERFECT. YOUR CARD HAS NOW BEEN FORMATTED......

STEP 4: TAKE THE CARD OUT OF THE PHONE, INSERT INTO THE CARD READER AND THE READER THEN INTO THE USB PORT ON YOUR COMPUTER... OPEN IT UP USING THE "MY COMPUTER" TAB IN THE START MENU..SHOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE "MASS STORAGE DEVICE". NOW YOU WILL SEE A "MY MP3'S" FILE.....OPEN IT UP AND ITS EMPTY.... THEN JUST DRAG AND DROP ANY SIZE MP3 FILE IN THIS FOLDER FROM ANYWHERE ON YOUR COMPUTER..... WHEN YOU GOT EM ALL, REPLACE THE CARD INTO YOUR PHONE........ HIT THE PLAY BUTTON ON THE FRONT OF THE PHONE.....................................

AND JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PEACE/LOVE AND THANKS FOR BEING A VERIZON CUSTOMER!!!!!!!!!!!

okay someone please help me.
Today my phone screen just happened to break. I take it in to the verizon store so they can fix it. They come back with the news that they have to give me a new phone but same model. I am okay with that thinking that everything will be the same. I get my phone back and instead of an mp3 playlist where I can download music to my card. I get this totally different thing called "my music" and I have to now buy a usb cable to put music on my phone. The thing is, I don't have a slot for a usb cable to go in to in my phone. Please help.

VERIZON SALESMAN - Thanks for taking the time to post the step-by-step directions for setting up the LG8300 to accept mp3 through a USB memory card reader.

Verizon has buried the setup so deep in the software that nobody would find it without proper documentation.

Thanks again "GOOD GUY" from Verizon.
