SLVR L7c mp3 player help

[laloleg]

I bought a slvr L7c for cricket and i cannot get the songs to play or even show up on my phone. This is exactly what i did. Inserted the memory card (kingston 512mb), the phone formatted it.>took it out, insterted it into the card reader (no data cable) of my ibook> created a folder from my itunes music, dragged all of the music straight onto the drive. The weird thing is that i can get one song to play, which tells me its not the formatt and the phone tells me the exact memory used by the card, but when i open the mp3 player only one song shows. please help.

thanks.

Have you told the phone to check both memory card and phone memory?

this is gonna sound stupid, but they are .mp3 and not .aac right? They also need to be 192kps and under, and cant be VBR

[laloleg]

They are MP3, i actually tried AAC, and WMA already. I also forgot to mention whenever i set the storage device to memory card, the pictures and the sounds do not work, when i select them it does nothing. They are 129 Kps, i checked the characters and they are all 20 or less, i tried reformatting the card several times, and no luck. again, it only recognizes one of the songs and that is all it plays. i noticed that it is usually the first song i add that it plays.

Maybe the ID3 tags are messed up? I have a Sprint music player, so Im kinda going blind here. Cricket used OEM Moto, right?

[laloleg]

yeah i beleive so, i tried messing with the ID3 tags but did not do anything to them, honestly i dont know what they are. how do you check that?

[milkbone98]

in iTunes, right click the song in question, then make sure that the fields are filled in. Just the main ones, like genre, song, album, etc.

another thing, try taking them down to 128 CBR, it cant hurt.

[laloleg]

Ok, I tried all of the above and nothing took care of it. Any other ideas?

[milkbone98]

Wow, im not sure with Cricket, the Sprint one has a different player. I would reformat and just drag and drop .mp3s onto the card without invilving itunes at all.

you do know that you cant "sideload" most protected mp3 files they have to be sync'd in order to work properly correct?

[milkbone98]

personally, i had no idea, i dont have any :D

[laloleg]

Ok and how do i do that? how can i reformat them, or how can i go without itunes, that is the only program that has my songs.

actually you can but they wont play :(
also even if you did sync them if they have DRM then unless your device has been "confirmed" through the program you are using to sync them then its jus taking up space...
even still i dont know for a fact that "all" mp3s will play because on my device which happens to be a GSM model(besides the point) i can only play mp3s up to 192 bitrate

Ok and how do i do that? how can i reformat them, or how can i go without itunes, that is the only program that has my songs.

well one way is to burn a CD with the songs you want from itunes... THEN rip them AND from there you can do whatever you want with them :thumbsup:
:rockon2:

EDIT: basically burn then rip process will remove the DRM and from there you can either connect your device to your pc then either drag-n-drop or sync or whatever you do to get them onto your phone/storage card(if applicable)

[driftking7050]

do you have windows media player? if so then download the latest drivers and install them then plug your phone into your computer through its mini usb port and go to sync mode on phone and open sync tab on wmp


btw it has to be wmp 10 or higher
