How do you transfer songs from MP3 player to Phone?

[Saulty]

Help! Need to transfer the songs from my MP3 player to the Phone. What do I do?

 

[FreeFall]

what mp3 player and what phone? Ideally you want to get your files on your computers HDD. Then go from your computer to your phone.

USB cord and sync from computer

So I need to transfer the songs from the MP3 player to the laptop and then from the laptop to the phone?

Yes

Depends on the phone.

You're technically not supposed to transfer from phone to computer with an iPhone. iTunes only lets you do it for purchased items. There are 3rd party apps like SharePod that allow you to do it though.

With a Droid, you can typically just find the device in My Computer and drag and drop your music files onto your hard drive.

It's a Windows Phone. It asked me to download some Zune software when I plugged the phone to the laptop. Will see how it goes now. Still downloading..

would dropbox app work Monkey?
I use it for phone pics/vids to computer...

Thanks guys. I basically transferred them all on Windows Media Player and then using the Zune software I dragged them to the phone. But a few songs didn't get transferred due to a DRM error. I guess I can only listen those on the MP3 player. And they were all the hip hop rap stuff I had.

Hey Monkey, any reason for this?

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Apple. That's the reason.

They try to control everything you do. They do everything that they can to force you to purchase items off of iTunes.

I believe so. Not entirely sure though. I haven't used it personally.

There are ways to remove the DRM licenses from those files...

Apple is in business with the record companies, so they want to make it difficult for people to share music.

As monkey said, they believe in controlling every single aspect of the user experience. This is probably a good thing for some people, but certainly not for me.
