How does this phone handle playing mp3 files?

Hi! I am currently using this phone. I have a micro SD card in it with MP3 files, and though I don't use it for listening to them like an iPod etc, I use them for ringtones. I love that I can find MP3 or WAV files of my favorite video game or TV show themes and other music and set ringtones, without having to buy seperate ringtones... unlike my wife's iPhone that makes her buy ringtones from iTunes! Using MP3 for ringtones on the micro SD card has been super easy, fun, and they sound great.

I have quite a few soongs on the phone and I never had any problems with them. Very good sound!

The device does not have a SD slot or any other inputs other than bluetooth. It will however play .mp3 files that are on an SD card via any device that is connected by bluetooth. For example, your smartphone, tablet or laptop.

If you mean mp3 yes it will. If you have music in a mp4 format on a SD card or USB stick it should play that way as well.

Yes you can use it as an mp3 player, I had a good experience with the phone it had good signal and it work great other than it sometimes stop unfortunately while running some applications and after a year and 3 months the power buttom started to work a little hard. It has 13 gb interior memory but it doesn't come with expandible memory.

I was able to use the auxiliary port to play my android phone. Regarding the USB port, I picked up a cheap mp3 player download my music and plugged it in without a problem. Hope this helps a little. Stan

You connect any headphones to the device. I didn't really like the earphones supplied because of the flat wires, not because of the sound quality, which is good. I think it only plays Mp3 files and yes they are stored on the device, or you can play music through the bluetooth from say your phone.

Any phone with Bluetooth can be used that way (through Bluetooth connection) and the setup also contains several adapters including the stock adapter for idevices and a standard 3.5mm jack (headphone jack) for other types of MP3 players. Hope this helps!

You can use mp3s from your microSD, but it has be encoded at 192kbps or less, have 32 characters or less, and be 600kb in size or less to be used as a ringtone. You select the mp3 from your microSD, set it as a ringtone (which automatically copies it to the phone memory), and it gets added into your phone's "music list". From there, you can select which mp3 you want to use as your ringtone (if you decide to repeat the process more than once).

I just got the 8300 yesterday (3/16/07) and have tried to follow the service menu access trick to enable mp3 functionality. Option 11 is "Music Settings" and when pressed it says "Not Available". It appears that mp3's can now be used on this phone (via the micro-SD card), but I have not had a chance to test that theory yet. Someone else said mp3's can now be loaded & played with no Settings changes needed. For my money I'd use wma's instead of mp3's for this phone; conversion freeware/shareware is available on the web. The type file types are similar size. I've been using wma's on my iRiver for three years now and find them actually more versatile than mp3's.

I agree. It looks like a drive on your computer, so you can drag and drop songs to it. It will play them if they are encoded in a way that it understands, i.e. basic .mp3's up to 320 Kbps (and reportedly .wav files up 30 384 Kbps, according to the manual).

Yes, but you have to have a SD card you can't play music wireless from your phone only answer the phone. But, if your phone have a SD card you can take the music off it your phone and download it to the MP3 player. I got over 1000 songs on my SD card. If you have anymore question for me just email me again. Okay?

It plays audio through either a USB, a headphone jack or Bluetooth. So yes of course you can play mp3s; I wouldn't recommend it as a CD player

This unit has an aux connection which I have used with my laptop. Also there is USB and SD card functionality. If you use either the USB (with a memory stick) or SD slot your music must be in Mp3 format for it to work.

I play music and videos fine from the internal memory. Mp3 for songs and mpeg2 works for videos hope this helps!
