|

This is a long shot, but I figured I'd ask it anyway. I have an LG KU1700 <http://www.mobileisgood.com/phone_spec.php?phone_id=2627&manufacturer_id=28>. It has an mp3 player, but when I load my microSD with mp3s and plug it in, it won't play. It shows the files with correct names and everything, but when I try to play them it says they are uenexecutable files. I plugged my microSD back into my computer and the computer read and played the mp3s just fine, so I don't think it's the card.
Any ideas? There's one song that came pre-loaded and it's in a .dcf format. I've looked for converting mp3s to .dcfs (not ideal, but I'll do what I need to), and I haven't found much. |

Your phone doesn't play MP3's right away. Chances are you need DRM MP3's. That means you have to buy songs directly from whichever music provider that has a license with your phone (Melon Player maybe). I'm sure there is a way to "Convert" your existing MP3's to the DRM format that will play on your phone.
I'm also pretty sure that it is a pain in the butt to convert the songs, as the phone company doesn't want you to load your OWN songs on the phone,, but to buy songs through them. |

This is why I don't buy phones for their MP3 functions.
Until phones play video and audio without conversion I'm sticking to my PMP in one pocket and phone in the other. |

Thanks for the input. I'll look around for DRMing my mp3s, but that almost seems comical since everyone else is trying to do the opposite, haha. |
