memory card music Has anyone figured out how to load music on this thing? I put a 2 GB SD card with music in the phone, but I couldn't see that it made any difference. The player says empty.

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.

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.

It's touchscreen. You go to the folder(s) on your memory card and play music in a folder. It can be sorted by: Artist, Album & Genre, or just the order in the folder. There is also Shuffle, Loop & Repeat. While playing, touch the plus to create and add to playlist(s).

Make sure SD card is in all the way hit the mode button until screen says SD card if the card has no music it will say no SD card other than that it should start playing music

I couldn't find a way to do so. I needed to remove the music from folders in order to play them. You could use separate memory cards I suppose.

I use SD cards and the music on them is MP3. I use old SD cards from years ago that had been in cameras. I didn't even reformat them. I use it plugged in and I love it. I play stuff all night to cover the background noise and some times I leave it on all day. I switch cards often so I have different music on each. I haven't tried it with a stick.

I don't know for sure, but I would guess that it is a function of loading delays. Can you redo the stories on the SD card with a dummy track at the beginning - some classical or new age music perhaps - to fill the approximately two minutes so that once the card loads, the stories are up next? It is worth a try :)

like the one guy mentioned there is app called es file explorer that gives you access to the memory card and i got a 32 gb card in my 16gb tablet. with the video player he mentioned (there are others out there) you can play videos or music which are on your memory card circumventing the transfer option the tablet gives you. also the video players lets you play other codecs that the tablets installed video player wont let you play. there are also music players that let you play flac. and other audio codecs files from the sd card

Christopher, There was no snide, since I am not the seller, but a buyer! I´m using a 32gb mini sdcard that I loaded music to before placing it into the Sansa device that I purchased online from Amazon. I don´t on a Radio slot card, and I´m sorry for your confusion. Peace!

All you need to do is put the music on the memory card and you can play it through your phone. This phone also has a built in radio so you can play music through there also.

Hello Eric. This is quite an old device, amazing I got a follow up. This is only a player as far as I know. I do not recall any software that came with it - though it has been 5 years or so.We use it to play on-hold music via a 256mb (yes 1/4 gb) memory stick. Running constant for many years, never a problem. Been a great device.That being said, there is no reason you cannot create a set of mp3 files yourself on a normal computer and then use this device to play them. So many programs to use for such a purpose.

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

Hi Gissie,I use the supplied Sony "MediaGo" application to download songs and other files to the player and it seems to work just fine for me. It's intuitive and easy to use and reasonably responsive. I hope that helps!

Mine came with Google Play, in fact a lot of Google stuff I have never used except for Google search. I'm still not sure what all this Google stuff is for.I'm just trying to figure out how to get things on the 32GB SD card. It keeps saying move to SD card and I do but there is nothing on the SD card. I think it moves things to something called Nano?Totally tech challenged

Thank you for responding, Mark! I just downloaded SD Copy, but now I'm not sure what to do with it or how to use it. Any assistance is appreciated!JacquelineJacqueline

Sorry I never put an SD card in mine. Only way I can think of is to take the SD out and put it into an card reader. Or keep looking in the menu.

It has to be stored on a USB...with a limit of GB. In hindsight, a player that accepts a higher USB storage capacity-would be better

You can't randomize what's on the SD card, only the 8gb that's on the player itself. Which sucks when the SD card can hold much more, depending which size you stick in.
