introduction
Copying and syncing music between your
phone and computer has never been easier,
with Microsoft® Windows® Media Player 11.
To listen to music on your phone, you need to:
1 Load music on your computer.
2 Transfer music from the computer to your
phone.
3 Use the music player to play and manage
music files on your phone.
Note: The unauthorized copying of copyrighted
materials is contrary to the provisions of the
Copyright Laws of the United States and other
countries. This device is intended solely for
copying non-copyrighted materials, materials
in which you own the copyright, or materials
which you are authorized or legally permitted
to copy. If you are uncertain about your right
to copy any material, please contact your legal
advisor.
1. load music on your
computer
To create a music library on your computer, you
can purchase Windows Media DRM-protected
music files from supported on-line music stores
(such as Urge, Yahoo, and Napster).
You can also
load song files from a music CD
onto your computer:
1 Insert the music CD in your computer’s CD
drive.
2 Launch Windows Media Player 11.
3 Copy the music CD to the media player
library (also called ripping the CD).

such as song titles, album name, artist name,
and album artwork. This information will display
in your phone’s music player.

music
set default format and bit rate for
Windows® Media Player 11
Windows Media Player 11 lets you adjust
format and bit rate settings, to optimize sound
quality, or to increase the number of song files
you can store on your phone.
Windows Media Audio format offers the
optimal balance between file size and sound
quality. Song files in this format tend to require
more storage space than files that use
Windows Media Audio Pro format.
Windows Media Audio Pro format is designed
for use in portable devices with limited storage
capacity. The format provides improved sound
quality at lower bit rates.
MP3 format is the most popular format for
distributing music on the Web. This format
offers high sound quality at a reasonable file
size.
To set the default file format and bit rate:
1 Insert the music CD in your computer’s
CD drive.
2 Launch Windows Media Player 11.
3 Select the Rip tab in Windows Media
Player 11.
4 Click the Rip tab down arrow, then choose
Format > Windows Media Audio, Windows
Media Audio Pro, or mp3.
5 Click the Rip tab down arrow again, then
choose Bit Rate > bit rate.
convert iTunes AAC files to MP3
files on your computer
Use the iTunes desktop application to convert
standard iTunes AAC files to MP3 files that are
compatible with Windows Media Player 11.
Note: The iTunes desktop application can only
convert AAC files ripped from a music CD. It
can’t convert music files purchased from the
iTunes store.
1 Open the iTunes desktop application on
your computer.
2 Select Edit > Preferences, then click the
Advanced tab and click Importing.
3 Open the Import Using pop-up menu, then
select the MP3 Encoder option. Click OK to
save your settings.
4 Select one or more songs in your iTunes
music library, then choose Advanced >
Convert Selection to MP3.
The converted MP3 file copies appear in your
computer’s music library alongside the original
AAC files.

2. transfer music to
your phone
Use Windows Media Player 11 to transfer
music from the computer to your phone over
a high-speed USB 2.0 cable connection. (If
necessary, you can download Windows Media
Player 11 at
www.microsoft.com/windowsmedia .)
Note: Windows Media Player 11 requires
Windows XP™ or later to run. If you are using
an earlier version of Windows OS, see the
section “manually transfer music to your phone
or memory card” on page 19.
Note: Windows Media Player 11 can only be
used to copy music files to your phone. You
can’t use Windows Media Player 11 to copy
pictures or videos to the phone.
When your phone is connected to the computer
in media synchronization mode, Windows
Media Player 11 treats the phone as a single
memory device, and will copy and sync music
files to both phone memory and a microSD
memory card installed in the phone. (For
example, a phone with 2 GB of internal memory
and a 4 GB microSD memory card would appear
to have around 6 GB of available memory in
Windows Media Player 11.)
