help for a numpty !!! Transferring Music to N95 from PC

[Darb]

Hi guys, I have my n95 now and being a numpty I cant even get music on it from my pc, I'm not that technically minded so any advise would be better as though you were telling a five year old

Welcome to the forums.

Please help us to help you by adding additional information in your user profile such as model of N95, and what firmware its running.

Have you downloaded, and installed the latest version of PC Suite to your computer?

when you download it just connect the phone in Pc Suite mode,open the program interface on your PC,and then just drag the files to your phone icon,it's as easy as that.

What Gnjuss & Micky have said, but to make it even easier for you here's what you do in easy stages.

1) Download and install PC suite on your PC from here :Nokia UK - Download Free Nokia PC Suite Software


2) Once it's installed connect your phone via USB cable, select PC suite on your phone and run it on your PC. Follow the prompts.

3) Once PC suite confirms your properly connected you will see a picture of your phone and various menu options for PC Suite.

4) Go to the Mp3 you wish to download to your phone and with PC suite still open (running) drag and drop it on to the picture of your phone. Do this with each individual track until your done.

5) From standby on your phone do this : Music Player>options>refresh. The phone will search through your phones internal memory and memory card and add all audio files (Mp3s, WMAs, etc) to Music player. If you've dragged and dropped ten tracks it should refresh the muic player with those tracks.

Job done !

You can use Windows Media Player to synchronise songs from your PC to your N95 as well. Connect your phone via USB and select 'Media Player'. Windows Media player (versions 10 and above) will recognise it. No refresh is necessary if you do it this way. Ripping CD's to your phone is dead easy, if a little time consuming.

If you don't want to install PC suite you can always transfer (drag and drop) music via the cable in data transfer/mass storage mode.

Much easier in my opinion.

Agreed, it is easier. However it could be better for someone new to opening up the possibilities of their phone to have a play and see what PC suite can do. Besides Windows media player can give you the artwork on your albums and it doesn't show in 'Gallery' after being synced to the phone. The only real reason I use it.

[Mr G]

I was just letting the OP know the easiest option as he/she said that they wasn't that ''technically minded''.

[gnjuss]

I have a question now,Mr G,does your method allow saving songs to specific albums in the Music Library.

Don't laugh,but this is how I listen to music,I choose an album from the library and that's it,believe it or not,no playlists yet.

[Mr G]

All the music on my card is mixed DJ sets, so when i transfer them they go into 'All Songs' i then move from there to my Playlists.
