MP3 Set-up I tried to set my phone to accept mp3 format and it says not available. Has anyone else experienced this?

YES. Through various sources, including reading Amazon reviews in depth and www.mobiledia.com (look up the phone model with Verizon service), I was able to enable mp3 usage. Thru a microSD/USB card adapter (about $15 @ Best Buy), you can transfer songs from your computer to the memory card. For a phone, the sound is pretty impressive.

S Guzman, Thanks for the post. I don't understand why Verizon keeps tryingto make it so hard to play your own songs. They disable funtions andmake the phones worse. I wish we could just buy the phones seperately and then sign up for service. Thanks again for the post.FC

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.

The files are not in the mp3 format that the device likes. I remember having to run all of the songs through 3 different mp3 converters before finding one that it liked. I searched through my folders to see which one I used but couldn't find it. It was a free converter I downloaded from the internet. The good news is once the files are converted and show on the system, your eclipse will be a very enjoyable device. I love mine! But it did take 3 days to get it up and running.

No. And, I can't get mine to play ANY mp3 on sd card or usb stick. May be operator error, a fluke or whatever - but now it's my fluke :-(.

My WMA files do not play on this device, it actually freezes it. I believe it only plays MP3 format.

Where is the port for mp3? I can not find it on mine, maybe mine don't have one. I also can not seem to get it to light up.

Restart your phone and try it again. Make sure that your phone is set for call audio and media audio

Paid upgrade that is a free service before, I will not be surprise if they remove all features slowly and put them to paid upgrade. The 4.4.6 iOs app on iPhone can't even play mp3.

Did you ever solve this problem...mine does the same thing and it makes listening to audio books so hard to do. If not...can you recommend a MP3 that does not do this.

Hi Bally, this product is a Bluetooth handset and only works if you connect your phone vía Bluetooth.This is not a Mp3 player, the music that you can Listen must be played through your phone.

Hi! I have an android phone. I literally just opened up my music and Pandora app and it played. I just plugged the cord into the headphone spot!

Sadly, we gave up on the mp3 player. We were able to get it to work, but each button servers a different function, depending on what screen you are in.The person I bought this for, wanted to be able to just click and drag music to the device, hit the play button, and be on their way. This device is not quite that simple.However, it sounds like your device has a malfunction. It is possible that your battery is not holding a charge.

on the back panel, there are 2 input socekts. one is MP3, and another is aux. You should use MP3 input socekts, and also set the MP3 mode by pressing the botton on the front panel.

You can connect it to almost all the mp3. Does you mean put the mp3 in it? No, it just connects mp3 outside. And the quality of this is not so good, at least for me.

don't format! the radio probably isn't broken; you probably just "paused" it. you can tell if there's a square shaped icon under the station ... would be a lot less confusing if they used the standard "||" pause symbol ... hit "|| >" and you should play fine. ALSO, there's a sansa forum out there ... now we know

You should be able to...mp3 files generally transfer into my itunes library but I haven't actually tried it yet. I was planning on downloading the software today and giving it a try so I will give a definite answer later.
