Help with music in W100

Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:40:57 GMT

Hey guys, i need a little help over here. So, I bought one Sony Ericsson W100 and i've transfered some musics to my memory card. However, some musics are having problems, in other words, they don't play. I checked the files, all of then are .mp3, but it isn't the problem, once i tried other .mp3 that worked. If I 'put' this music that doesn't play at walkman, as ringtone and call my cellphone, it plays! I tried rename the files and another memory card, but i got nothing. (Sorry for my english, i am brazilian)

http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/products/mediago/default_enu.asp Follow this link to download Media Go for your phone and use it to transfer music files between PC and phone.If the music is already in your phone, transfer it back to your PC and re-transfer back to the phone via Media Go.

Hey Dr_Chris, thanks for replying. So, I already tried the media go, i erased all the musics and used this program to transfer, and i got nothing again. I thought about update the celphone's software, but i am afraid cause if it didn't work, i lose the warranty.

Thanks for the help.

Updating the software will not void the warranty.If Media Go doesn't work after a software update, you can try something like Switch, an audio file format converter which you can download to your PC, use it to convert file formats and then transfer the converted music files back to your phone.

So, are u sure it won't void the warranty? Then I will try it. I will download a converter, but as i said, it was .mp3, it should work right?

Thank you very much.

As long as it's software from SE, it will not void your warranty---who told you this anyway? There are different codec sub-types of .mp3 formats, so I suggest you use the converter to switch to AAC or .mp4/m4u, which are supposedly improved format versions of the .mp3

Friends of mine told that, but I will update it anyway. I will convert then. I reply as soon as I get a result. Thank you very much!

Hey, so I did not update the software, however, I tried converting the .mp3 files. It WORKED! I've converted .mp3 to .m4a and it worked! Thank you very much Dr_Chris.

Best Regards,
