Unable to transfer MP3 (music) files

I can't seem to transfer music files to my BB 8707 as it says I am only allowed up to 2.86MB. Does this mean that I cannot transfer any music files at all? Or is there some other way of doing it?
Cheers
Solved!

hello,
the 8707 can read mp3. The problem is that there is only 64MB onboard memory and :
a big part of it is used by the Operating System
you can't install a memory card on your device
I know, this sucks. Maybe it's time to buy another device if you intend to use it as a Portable Media Player.

  • How To Transfer MP3 Music Files At A 96kb speed, From A CD To A Zen Mic

    I have a couple of CDs with MP3 music files on them. One problem is that the music is recorded at various speeds from 28 to 320kbs. I know of to transfer the files over, but I can't seem to lower the speed down to 96kb. I want to know if it is possible to change the recording speed to 96kb when transferring MP3 files from a CD source? Thanx

    You can of course use one of a number of MP3 converters to change the track quality e.g. Creative's MediaSource converter. Be aware that dropping the bit-rate isn't the best approach, it's better to encode from the original CD.
    And as others have said, I would strongly recommend staying at 28kbit/s for MP3 (using LAME) or at least listen to a test track or two before encoding the lot.

  • How do I transfer my music files from Sony Sonic Stage to iTunes?

    When iTunes prompts me to transfer my music files into iTunes the files in Sonic Stage are not transfered and I cannot find a way to transfer them over.
    Dell Inspiron 1150   Windows XP  

    I tried to transfer songs from Sonic Stage but the formats simply aren't compatible. I ended up burning all of the songs I'd purchased with Sonic Stage onto cd's and importing them in to iTunes. Pain in the butt and time consuming but at least I didn't lose my music.
    Don't trash your Sonic Stage though! I moved my songs to iTunes and now am unable to burn with it. I'm so glad I didn't wipe out everything from Sonic Stage since I've reverted back to using it when I have to burn or if I want to do a compilation cd. Can't hurt to cover your bases.

    How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    If you download Adode Reader (free but very limited) or GoodReader (many features) - you can use file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under Devices. Click on the Apps tab in the iTunes window on the right. Scroll down to the File sharing apps window. Click on the file sharing app that you are using (Adobe Reader or GoodReader in this example). Drag the document from the desktop onto the file sharing window on the right side - or click on the add button in the lower right corner - and navigate to where the file is on the Mac and select it that way.

  • Laptop brokre, managed to recover files onto harddrive, how do i transfer the music files into my library on a new computer, Laptop brokre, managed to recover files onto harddrive, how do i transfer the music files into my library on a new computer

    ok so to cut a long story short my itunes account was on a laptop that broke, managed to get photo and music file backed up onto hard drive.
    Can i just log into my itunes account on a new pc to sync andbackup my iphone? or do i need to transfer my music file into the account?
    Really need some help!
    I have an iphone, Ipod and the account on the old laptop.

    "I don't have the old computer. It overheated and literally melteddown!"
    This is why it has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.
    Did you fail to do this?
    "I have been talked through a back up process of the itouch music  on to the new laptop before, but can't remember how to do it. Any ideas on this process."
    Again. 
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get non-itunes purchased music from the ipod.

  • Streamed MP3 music files losing first few seconds

    My Apple TV seems to drop the first few seconds of MP3 music files when they are streamed from iTunes, but not when they are synced to the Apple TV.
    The number of seconds that are dropped varies from none at all for some songs to 20, or much more than that ... but seemingly never more than a minute.
    When I select one certain song in a particular playlist -- "Song for the Mira" by the Garrison Bros. -- the time shown is 5:19. When I press play on the Apple TV remote the time changes to 5:00, very briefly ... just before the Apple TV starts to play the song with its first 19 seconds missing, as if it were really a 5:00 song.
    From that time on (unless I reload the iTunes library) every time I select the same song from any playlist, or from under Songs, or Albums, or whatever, the time is always shown right away as 5:00. So Apple TV is "remembering" the time of the song.
    If I cause Apple TV to reload that iTunes library, the time goes back to 5:19 until I actually play the song again, at which time it becomes 5:00 again.
    The amount of time that is sliced off from the beginning of a song is always consistent for that song. So if the amount is 12 seconds one time for a particular song, it is always 12 seconds.
    I have not altered the start or end points of affected songs in iTunes.
    As far as I can tell, this never happens with Protected AACs.
    It never happens with synced copies of the MP3s, only with streamed playback.
    I have the latest versions of iTunes (7.3.2) and of the Apple TV software (1.1).
    Restoring the Apple TV to factory settings, re-downloading the software, etc., have no effect on the problem. Nor does restarting my iMac, which is running OS X 10.4.10. Nor does restarting the various base stations on my wireless network, all of which have the latest firmware.
    Anyone else have a problem with the beginnings of streamed MP3s being truncated? Anyone know what to do about it? Thanks.

    Since my last post to this thread I have discovered:
    (1) I was wrong in thinking there is no pattern to the number of seconds lopped off at the beginning of various MP3s when streamed to my Apple TV. Actually, I have found that the same number of seconds is dropped from every song in a particular album or compilation!
    So my "Sounds of Nova Scotia, Vol. 1" compilation -- which contains the "Song for the Mira" that is reduced from 5:19 to 5:00 at the start of Apple TV's streamed playback -- has 19 seconds removed at the start of every track when its tracks are streamed to Apple TV. (It does not appear to be significant that this particular track seems to be rounded to the nearest minute. Cutting the first 19 seconds off the other tracks in the compilation does not bring them to an even minute.)
    My Beatles' "Abbey Road" album has not 19 but 30 seconds dropped at the start of every streamed track!
    (2) I was also wrong in reporting that the time change from, say, 5:19 to 5:00 is "remembered" by Apple TV the next time I select the affected track from a list on the TV screen. Actually, the next time I select the track, it shows up as 5:19 again. But if I press Play, that changes to 5:00 in the split second just before the track actually starts to play ... and then the progress bar that appears at that point, when the actual song is being played, reflects a 5:00 total time, not 5:19.
    To recap what I said before, this happens only when I stream (even from the syncing iTunes), not when I play a synced copy. AACs are unaffected. Not all MP3s seem to be affected, though all in an affected album or compilation are affected the same way, by having an identical number of seconds lopped off. I have the latest software/firmware in all my devices. Restarts/resets do not help. The problem persists in copies of copies of the affected MP3 tracks streamed from iTunes _on my other Mac_, a MacBook Pro. The problem does not occur when I play the tracks right in iTunes on either machine. I am not using manually set start and stop times on the affected tracks in iTunes. I do not have *Part of a Gapless Album* or *Remember Playback Position* set in Info in iTunes Preferences, though I have tried setting *Part of a Gapless Album*, with no effect on the problem.
    Anyone have any more ideas as to what might be causing this? Thanks.

  • Missing Task App and MP3 Music Files

    Hello! I've reset my phone to factory default recently. I can't seem to find the Task App as well as the pre-loaded MP3 music files that can be found in the Walkman app when you bought the phone.
    Any idea where I can download these?
    Thanks!

    Task app should be downloadable from google play or come with a future update.Did you try that?About the songs,you should tell someone who has the compact to send them to you.

    I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

  • I am unable to burn mp3 audio files to cd.I have tried different speeds but every time it ays failed due to media write error.Can anyone help what to do?

    I am unable to burn mp3 audio files to cd.Every time it says failed due to media write error.I have tried different speeds.Can anyone help pls?

    There are several different incompatible media sold as writeable CDs. You MUST match the media to the abilities of your drive.
    I was flummoxed by buying 8x media when my drive was a 2x drive. I needed the other type, and there was nothing helpful in the diagnostics or the packaging that helped me understand that.
    EDIT: There is an interesting helpful feature buried in System Profiler ... (read the last two lines of the report):
