=====================

The information below will provide you with all the information you should need to transfer and play music on your phone
1.What music transfer tools do I need?




To put music on your computer and then load it on your phone, you need:
  • A Microsoft Windows PC or Apple Macintosh

2.You need a memory card

Your music is stored on your memory card. Your phone supports removable microSD memory cards up to 32 GB capacity.

3. What music file formats can I play?

Your phone can play many types of files: MP3, AMR-NB/WB, PCM/WAV, AAC, ACC+, eAAC+, MIDI, WMA, and OGG Vorbis.

Your phone will not play DRM protected music. This includes any DRM protected content previously purchased through VCAST. Most retailers will have an unlocked version or the ability to unlock DRM music for an additonal fee (iTunes $.025)
