Help! I bought a 1gb memory card and uploaded music, but how do I open it on the Q?? Does anyone know how to do this??

Thanks

pats03,

When you go into Windows Media Player and get to the Library (Menu->Library->My Device) You should also be able to do a Menu->Update Library which should search the device as well as the storage card for mp3s. Otherwise, you can also play individual files by selecting Menu->Open File and navigating to the "Storage Card" folder which should have the music you uploaded. I think when you do this it also adds each file you open using "Open File" to your library, but don't quote me on that.

Hope that helps.

i had the same problem and i went to windows media player on my Q and selected menu. went to the library and pressed menu. then it should have an option to pick which library u want to load from that menu, and just select storage card.

i have the same problem. my Q will not recognize my Kingston 2gb card. I have the update firmware version. Apparantly you are supposed to see Storage Card under the Menu > Library. I only see My Device so I cannot add all the songs on my storage card to the library..

I called verizon tech support and the 2nd level technician said he has to request a Q with the updated firmware and then get a 2gb card to test.. what a pain...

I've got a 1 gig SanDisk miniSD card, and it works pretty much perfectly. All the songs show up in media player, and as options for ring tones.

for the dummmys out there like me...it took me about 3 days to realize that the MINI SD CARD does click into the q and isnt held in by the rubber cover lol

so i had problems with the card going in and out of readablity until i realized to push it in all the way lol

make sure the card is clicked into the spring!!

Well, when I have my miniSD card in, I leave them all my mp3s in the root folder of the card. The phone recognizes those mp3s when I am selecting a ring tone for a particular person.

I had to figure this out and this is what I did with my SD card:
Put the songs you want to be available for ring tones in the \Storage Card\My Documents folder and the phone will have them listed for ringtones.
