So i ripped my dane cook CDs using windows media to put onto my phone but for some reason, it's not working. I have a sim card and i've uploaded movies and other songs just fine. It's kinda of weird because i'm able to put the tracks onto my phone, but when i look to find it on my phone, it's not there. I go into the folder i put it in and it just isn't there. But when i plug my phone back to the usb and i look through the files, i can clearly see the files in the correct folders that i put them in.

Any help?

what format you rip them on??? => What video and audio formats are supported?? - BlackBerryFAQ

did you rip them with DRM protections??

[Darkness280]

I used windows media to rip the tracks onto my computer.. so i'd assume they're .wmv? i can't check right now, currently at work.

And i don't know what DRM protection is.

[crazydude]

drm =>Windows Media DRM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't use windows but on media player options they should be a place to uncheck protect media files

Ah i see. when i get home.. in... 8 hours or so :( i'll check again to see if there is such a thing. is this what's causing it not to show up on my phone?

Can anyone think of anything else?

Thanks a lot crazydude, you've been a great help.

Ripping with media player creates a WMA, you need MP3 format.

[Darkness280]

yes i did crazydude.

what can i use to rip the tracks to a mp3?

[crazydude]

many choices out there try winamp =>Winamp Media Player - MP3, Multimedia, and Music Player

You can also setup iTunes to RIP in MP3 format.

Windows Media Player can rip to MP3. Just change the settings on the 'Rip' tab
