BEFORE YOU BEGIN
On a Mac, you need
an expansion card (sold separately) to
listen to music on your smartphone. You
cannot transfer MP3 files from your Mac
directly onto your smartphone.
1 Connect your smartphone to your
computer with the USB sync cable.
2 On your smartphone, press
Applications and select
pTunes .
3 If you are transferring MP3 files from a
Mac, insert an expansion card into your
smartphone. This step is optional for
Windows users.
4 Do one of the following:
Windows: Open Windows Media
Player on your computer. Select the
Sync tab, and then select Palm
Handheld from the drop-down list.
Select Start Sync . The files are
transferred to your smartphone.
NOTE
Do not press the sync button on
your cable. Windows Media Player
transfers the files, so there’s no need to do
anything.
Mac: Drag and drop the MP3 files onto
the Send To Handheld droplet in the
Palm folder. Select your device name,
the file name, and the destination (card).
Click
OK . Synchronize your smartphone
with your computer. Be patient;
transferring music to an expansion card
can take several minutes.
Transferring music from a CD to your
smartphone
If your songs are on a CD and you want to
listen to them on your smartphone, you
need to convert them to MP3 format on
your computer before you transfer the files
to your smartphone.
TIP
You can also use a card reader accessory
(sold separately) to transfer MP3 files from
your computer to your expansion card. Create
a
Music_Audio folder in the root directory of
the card, and store your MP3 files in this
folder.
