memory card music: Has anyone figured out how to load music on this thing?

The music has to be in mp3, non VBR, format. It also wont recognize high kbps formatted songs either. It did work with 128kbps mp3's in my own phone. Also getting the card in right was a problem till I figured it out. The little metal clip has to slide over the card to lock it into place. The card will fit into a groove in the slot and will not slide around if you have it placed correctly. Hope this helps.

Through much trial and error I figured out the same points that you mentioned. The trickiest thing was getting the card in exactly the right position. Also it appears that the music files have to be in a folder called "My Music" that one has to create on the card. If the folder is called "Music" then the phone never finds the songs.

I tried a thumbdrive with .mp3 files and it plays sequentially. I have not tried the SD port nor any other music file formats.

I would try formatting it through the camera... The manual for this camera says it takes SD or MMC memory cards. If you use another kind (CF, MS, xD, or SM) then it's unlikely to work. I have had mine for many years and it is a GREAT camera.. don't give up on it :)

how do you move files to the card? I have audiobooks on my player and I can not figure out how to move them to the SD card. Can anyone help?

You should be able to cycle through the "input" methods by pressing the 'Menu' button on the front left. Mine works for FM and USB (but I haven't tried Micro SD card yet).

Mine goes straight to usb stick or to micro sd when I turn it on so you should not have to press menu- otherwise menu should cycle through all the options including the memory stick or card. It should say "read" when it sees it. Make sure it is fully charged and maybe even plugged in when attempting to read. Also maybe try a small drive with only a few songs at first just to make sure it's working. If none of that works you may have to return it.

It has a music player and if you get one that doesnt, there are plenty of apps that will allow you to. Since it comes with a card reader (mini card and they are not overly expensive but they arent cheap either, bout a buck/G, 32G is about $30) I would assume you can download music to the card and play from it. I just played the music on the installed HD and it does play and the volume isnt too bad, at least you can hear the song pretty well, unlike some I have had in the past.

You should follow the directions to select the memory card then you will be able to select music from the memory card

Get yourself an sd/mmc card reader. Remove the card from your MiCorder, place it into the reader and place the reader into the usb port. Also, with the cord that came with the MiCorder, plug that into the MiCorder and the other into the computer's usb port. Both options worked fine for me. Good Luck!

Please check what format your music is in. If it's mp3 than you are okay, check if your sd card or sd card reader is functional

put the sd card in your pc, and the pc will direct you on how to load them. If you don't have a port on your pc you can get an adapter that fits in your usb port

Although I haven't used it yet, I have an app called AppMgr that will do that. Why haven't I used it? Using the SD card for music, not apps...:-)

I recently bought the kingston 1 gb microSD for my vx8300. The phone recognized the card and shows the full 1 gb, but when u put music in the my music folder, nothing shows up for me. The only way i could get music onto it was by putting it in the my mp3 folder. Under my mp3s, the songs are organized by file name so there is no real organization. Other users say that the card works with the 8300, but my experience tells otherwise.

try putting the songs into folders on the sd card. It worked for me. Was able to get about 20 albums on my 2G card.

What I did was to create a single folder called MusicMix, and dumped almost 500 of my favorite tunes into it. I would think that if you created a complex directory structure, it might be fairly difficult to negotiate. Also, another consideration would be the class of Micro SD card you are using, the faster the read and write might be problematic. Please note that the inability to shuffling music is a huge disappointment.
