    Question..Step 4 renaming the file does not change the file format from MMF. How do you do that? Also, did I read other post that V-Cast software update makes this process unusable? I didn't see where on the phone to add a ringtone. They don't make it easy do they...

    4. Save the file to your desktop (or anywhere) as a MMF. Go and rename the file to .MID For example rename MYSONG.mmf to MYSONG.mid. Now copy the mid file to your transflash card.

    I just tried the mid method and it appears that it only shows up if i put files in the MEDIA folder. Then the files show up in the My Sounds folder on my phone. I guess I don't need help anymore... THANKS FOR THE GREAT POSTS!!! (earlier in the thread)

    Hi. I know this is an old post but I just got a A950 and a microsd card. I have read all that i could and tried the things people have suggested as solutions to getting your own ring tones working.

    I've tried putting mp3's and wma files onto my microsd card in the My_Music, My_Ringtones, My_ etc etc folders but they never show up on the phone. Could anyone give me a hand here?

    Unfortuanetly, this is due to a contract with Verizon and Microsoft (the V-Cast software devs)... One you use V-Cast for the first time, the phones firmware is updated, removing MP3 playback... "

    When I got my SCH-950 in Feb V-Cast wasn't available yet but my phone still would not play MP3's. I beat my head against the wall until I came here (Thanks guys!) Verizon must have pulled everything on the shelf & updated them. The funny thing was the salesman was really pushing the V-Cast too.

    You might try making a folder on the Transflash called "Media" and put a test MP3 file in there to see if the phone sees it in its media player.

    There is a Samsung cable easily found on ebay that works with BitPM. I've also seen a proprietary cable that works with another company's software (comes as a package) but i can't remember it. As far as my needs go, the Samsung cable with BitPM is satisfactory.

    You need a card reader for your computer that will accept the micro-sd (by itself or as miniSD where you insert the micro-sd into a miniSD adapter), and you need whatever software you prefer for making .wma files. Then just copy the .wma files into the MY_MUSIC folder on the card. The USB cable would work for copying files, but it is extremely slow (took maybe 5minutes for one 3.5Meg song). The USB cable is helpful, however, for extracting files from the phone (think photos taken with the phone's camera).
    Yeah, I have the V-Cast phone. I have a card reader, so when my microSD card comes in the mail, I'll play with it a bit and see if I can figure it out.

    A little off-topic, but is there only one USB cable, or is there a lot to choose from?

    Read this post front to back a few times, and still a little confused and just wanted to clarify this.

    All I have is my phone, Windows XP, WMP10, and a 512MB microSD card. Is this all I need to play songs on my phone from my computer? I see something about a USB cable in the manual, and don't know what they're talking about?

    Thanks in advance.

    Why don't you just create a folder on your card called "MY_MP3S" and then put you music in there? I have a PDA (Just a PDA not a smartphone) and I have to do that all the time with my SD cards.
