Uploading music to your Sidekick phone

By admin | February 21, 2008

I have had quite a number of people ask me how to upload music to their phone.  This is not in reference to using ringtones (which you can NOT do).

The problem most people have is in many cases they are trying to upload music to their phone that the sidekick can not play (like applie itone files).   Or they have yet to buy a memory card.

Files you can not upload

If the file is NOT .MP3 then you can NOT use it on your phone.

If you dont have a memory card you can buy one on amazon for real cheap!

Now you have your memory card, your phone, and your USB cable.   You have a tone of MP3 music files you want to upload right! 

 Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable.  Once your phone is connected you will not be able to access your phone (its locked while connected using the cable).

After about 20 seconds you will at some point here your computer make a few sounds, as well as a “bubble” popup in the bottom right corner.  Click on my computer and after a few seconds you will see a new “drive” show up.  Click on this drive and create a new directory like “music”.

 Start dragging some songs into this new directory.  I would say test with 1 song before adding anymore.

Unplug your phone from the computer and fire up the mp3 player.

You should now see a new song listed on your phone.  If not reboot and check again.

And there you have it.  You can now listen to mp3’s on your sidekick.

A few things to know about playing mp3’s on your sidekick

The Sidekick ID can not use mp3’s at all and in fact it has no mp3 player.

    Does the sidekick 2 have a memory slot for the memory card to go into?

    Once you have a song on the memory card can you use it as a ringtone ?
