how do u access mp3 for the Dash.Do u need a data package
mp3 on Dash
Not sure what is your question? Are you asking how to put mp3 files on you Dash OR How to play an MP3 once it is there. Following are answers to both of these:
1. You should have a micro SD card by now on your Dash. If not, buy one and insert in provided slot. Take a 2 GB one as not sure currently how 4 GB performs on it. Then connect your phone to your computer via supplied mini USB cable. You will see phone icon in file folder list. Expand Storage Card there. You can copy mp3 files there in any folder of your choice.
2. After MP3 files are copied on your phone (or if they exist there already), you can use in built Windows Media player to play them. Simply run Windows Media player and point to mp3 files and play. You can even create playlists for frequently listened-to songs. Alternatively, you can download TCPMP software on it and use. I also recommend SRS WOW software to enrich headphone listening experience. Both TCPMP and SRS WOW can be searched in this forum. You can even set MP3s as your ringtones.
Have fun!
Cheers,

Does anybody know of a way to have media player play files on a remote PC as if they were installed locally?
I have my CD collection on my PC and I'd like to be able to play music from this using my XDAIIs using Wifi.
I've managed to see the files on the PC from the XDAIIs but clicking on them will not play them. However, if I create a shortcut to the file in question, and click on it, the track will play!
Unfortunately, if I create a second shortcut in the same folder to another file on the PC, media player doesn't play it automatically. I have to click on each shortcut that I wish to play.
You can use iTunes to do this, but you have to have WM2003, because I could no longer get it to work when I upgraded to WM5.0. It is called wifitunes, and it is still in alpha testing, but don't let that scare you, because it works well for me. Here is a link:

And of course you have to have iTunes installed on your pc (free from apple).
Let me know if this works for you!
I use resco file explorer and simply map the shared drive on my desktop to my SX66. I use TCPMP and can play avi, mpeg, mp3, wav etc on my SX66 over my wifi with no problems.
Thanks,
I tried WiFiTunes but I couldn't get it to work. Putting iTunes on the PC also required me to convert the track from WMA lossless to the Apple format which I wasn't keen to do but thanks for the suggestion.
I've downloaded a trial copy of resco file explorer, it looks like a good product to have irrespective of whether it helped with this particular issue. Used with TCPMP it does exactly what I want.
The only downside is that you have to create playlists because it doesn't organise the content into album, artist and genre lists in the same way that WMP10 does.
As I have nearly 3000 tracks it's going to take me some time to create the playlists but it's something to keep me out of mischief for a while!
Thanks for your help
My questions is. How can I play MP3 files of my storage card. Not one for one with Wmp. But like a mp3player.
I can't make a playlist because wmp opens only my documents.
Thanx
could you give some more details into what it is that you acutally want and whats wrong with wmp if oversly is the best mp3 player for wm5 and it can play files from your sd card
One I like to use for playing MP3 and WMA is TCPMP, it's advertised a movie player but is also good for playing music and shows the album covers, can browse folders on storage cards as well as on windows network shares.

Oke. But how can i play with wmp, Mp3 files of my storage card. If i go to library I can only select files of my documents. Not anything else.
Bottom right corner, select that, and select Library and select the Storage card. if your stuff is not there, do a "Update library".

Help me please!!! when i am upgrate new ROM is power lost and now my XDA IIs can not turn on.

Hello! A question for those of you using Winamp with your phone...
I would like to use Winamp to manage my music on my PC and my Android device (EVO). Is there a way to make winamp look ONLY at the android's "MUSIC" folder? Right now, it wants to sync every media file on my sd card to my PC. This includes tons of ringers, turn-by-turn nav audio files, etc. which reside in various other folders, not in the MUSIC folder.
TIA !!
Title says it all really. Whenever I transfer files to my phone using WMP under Win 7 it converts them all to WMA files which is pointless since the track order then becomes alphabetical not as the id3 tag lists it. My version of WMP (can't find a version number since there is no file menu) does not have an option uncheck convert files as necessary like some people say there is under the device name in the sync menu.
Does anyone know how to stop this horrible behaviour and let me keep my media as I want it not how MS want it?
I thought there was a way, at least as far as Win Media 11 goes. I rarely use it so I can't recall it off the top of my head.
The next easiest thing is to stop using Microsoft products to handle audio and music; WMP is bloated and so un-intuitive.
Try Winamp, it's got a little bloat but it's pretty simple and manageable.
itunes does it's job but like most apple products, it's made for right-brained, artistic and people who feel good about things. That's not me.
I use file explorer windows, ctrl +c & ctrl +v
Good luck

Why do you even use wmp to transfer mp3 to your phone? just make a folder on your sd card has music and mount your sd card to your computer and drap and drop you files.

I tried Winamp, but it lists 2 copies of each track on the phone after syncing. There is ony one on it, but Winamp list 2. Annoying, but not the end of the world!

I use WMP because it sorts all my audio files out for me. I have many files that aren't in a very good filing system from years ago and basically I'm too lazy to sort them out into Album/Artist folders (they have proper id3 tags though) to make finding things easier. The newer stuff I have ripped is better, in many ways due to iTunes organising it when I had an iPhone...
Also I have lots of Audio Books and WMP allows me to create Auto Playlists which excludes those files. I bashed iTunes a lot when I *had* to use it, it was bloaty and only recognised my iPhone about 2 in 3 times on Windows, but no it's gone I kinda miss it!
Found a solution/workaround
If I turn on USB debugging, thus disabling MTP mode, WMP will give me the option to not convert files. It's not as convenient as MTP since you have to click connect, but that's a small price to pay I think.
WMP12 (which is what Win7 has) can change the rip settings by pressing the ALT key to reveal the menu and then going to Tools->Options and looking for the Devices tab. Check the properties to see what the settings are here.
Also, if you don't use WMA at all change the settings in the "Rip Music" tab to use a format other than WMA. Don't know if this will help but I generally recommend to people when you don't use the format.
This problem drives me crazy. Why does WMP convert MP3 files? With my Arc S WMP converts only parts of the files. If I change the preferred format in "default-capability.xml" from MP4 to MP3 it works, but not for all files. This is sick.
I don't wanna miss WMP because it converts to 128Kbit/s and saves some space on the SD-Card.

This works for me...
Go to the SYNC menu, YOUR DEVICE, then
the ADVANCED OPTIONS. Click on the QUALITY tab and make sure the MUSIC option
is set to SELECT QUALITY LEVEL AUTOMATICALLY. If you choose any other quality level it will convert to .wma.

damn..how to make it work for videos.
You may try use Avdshare*Video*Converter to Convert MP4 to Windows Media Player more compatilbe video format like convert MP4 to WMV, MP4 to AVI, MP4 to MPG, MP4 to ASF.
I know it should be common sense ("Put it in the music/audio directories!") however, some cellphones put it in different directories (my old Galaxy Note 2 was like this from what I remember). So I've got two questions:
1) Which directory (internal phone memory) do I put the mp3 ringtones in?
2) Which directory (external microSDXC memory card) do I put the mp3's in to listen to music?
Thanks!
Also, has anyone confirmed if doubleTwist works with the Optimus G Pro yet? Just got an iPod Nano (I know, I went to the darkside but this phone looks ridiculious in an armband, LOL!) & the Nano finally has stereo bluetooth this generation so don't need to convert iTunes playlists but curious just in case I do this later.
Anyone?!?
Ringtones go in System/Media/Audio/Ringtones
You have to use a file manager with root and read/write access. Try ES File Explorer.
You can also put ringtones just about anywhere and when you go to select it, use the file manager and browse to it.
MP3s can go about anywhere. Just create a music folder and organize as desired.
I used that ES File Explorer to transfer mp3 ringtones, thanks! I ended up using Easy Phone Tunes to load an iTunes playlist (I only needed one) & the associated songs with no issues.
