Does anyone know where I can find step-by-step instructions for adding music to my Pearl? I'm trying to use the Media Manager, but the only two folders that show up under Device Memory are "pictures" and "ringtones". My music and video folders aren't showing. What am I doing wrong?

[kayos72]

do you have a micro sd card?

[Pearl77]

Yes. I've formatted it too.

[kayos72]

ok go options>advanced options>media card change your mass storage mode.
hope this helps if not let me know

[Pearl77]

Didn't work. I transferred the file into my music folder in Windows Explorer, but it won't show up in my phone.

in efforts to have music and pictures on the pearl, do you have to have a media card? I have been trying to load pics and music to my pearl using the desktop manager but nothing works. I dragged and dropped, I click the arrows, I've emailed to myself and nothing. someone please advise. please.


many thanks

After you transfer the music, disconnect the BB from the PC.
The music should now appear in the Media option.

[kayos72]

do you have "auto enable mass storage mode when connected" as yes or no?
should be no
let me know

[Pearl77]

I disconnected and reconnected my blackberry to my computer and changed the auto feature to no. Now my media card is showing up on both my phone and in media manager and all of the folders are showing up in media manager. The song I transferred is also showing up in media manager but not in my phone. Do you think that it's a problem it's a problem if it's a .wma file?

[kayos72]

wma not supported, sorry to say mp3s work great.

[Pearl77]

is there an easy way to convert them?

I have used itunes to convert the wma files to acc which is supported by BB pearl. I am trying to find out what allows more storage mp2 or acc.
