HOW do I put mp3s and movies on my SD card? - Treo Forum

msshoeluvah · 02-04-2007, 05:47 PM

^^^
Please help. I just purchased my 2GB SD card from circuit city for 39.99 and I would like to know how to add music, dvds, and games to it. I have my card inserted and my 700p does recognize it. Now what do I do?

Thanks.

music and movies are best added by using a card reader. games are installed by dragging or copying the game into the expansion card field on your quick install and then performing a hotsync.

I dont have a card reader. Can I just drag them to my phone when it is connected to my pc?

ah, minor dilemma, easily solved. try card reader by mobile stream. i've heard of folks on here having varying degrees of success by just straight up installing mp3s and movies by hotsync, but the card reader method is by far easier and less time-consuming in my experience. and if you're going to be copying files to your sd card often, it would be in your best interest to purchase a card reader or the aforementioned app above.

I'm sorry but I dont understand. Do I d/l this app to my pc or palm? My palm has something called Card reader on it already. Can someone give me a step-by-step guide to do this please? I'm new to this.

no problem. the card reader app allows you to use your treo as a usb flash drive. install the app by way of hotsync and run it. leave your treo connected in your cradle/cable. run the card reader program from your treo. you'll hear the connect sound if you're using windows. let it do its business and install. you'll be able to open 'my computer' and see that there's a new icon under 'devices with removable storage'. that's your sd card. you may then install files and movies that way. hope this helps!

ok i did all that and added mp3 to my sd card by dragging them into drive F in My Computer. How come my pTunes doesnt see the MP3 I put on the card? It does say i have an update but then it says iot wont play mp3 from my pc unless I purchase the full version for 29.95

Is there a player I can d/l and use for free?

Two things:

1) Add a file called "Audio" (without the qoutes) to your card and move the mp3 files there. I've read that's where the pTunes program looks.

2) I used Windows Media Player (version 10, not 11!!!) to sync mp3s to my 700p. That worked just fine.

Oh, and Brandon, I think you just answered my other "formatting" question/problem from that other thread. Didn't realize there was an app available to do that. Where do we get that and thanks!
