...no i dont know...but id like to know....

ive searched...but just wondering whats the most current way people do it....i think im ocd....and dont want to download 3 programs before i get it right. ....

Do you have a MicroSD media card in the BB? If so, just plug it into the pc and drag and drop it into the removeable drive in My Computer.

yea i was lucky enough to get a micro sd card from a friend for free....

do i need a memory card reader...or can i just plug my phone in....checking it out right now...

does the bb play mp3? or some other type of files

Yes, BB 8820 plays Mp3 files.

do i need a memory card reader or can i do it by plugging the actual device to a pc.

Was the card used in another type of device? Sometimes that causes problems formatting. However, give it a shot. Go to Options >Media Card. Then hit menu and select "Format Card." Then turn on mass storage mode--in the same screen as the Format Card option.

Then plug the phone into the PC and drag and drop files, as described above, to the music folder that's created.

wahooo!!!


yea i had to enable mass storage mode that was my problem!

thanks so much...this is awesome! i dont even need an ipod anymore!

one more question....

while listing to music...will i hear alerts for emails come in???

i might use this at the gym...but i need to know when time sensitive emails come in at the exact moment....

while were on the subject of loading files to a bb...

what file type do videos need to be?


and any other good tips in this area?

thanks youve been a big help....i almost downloaded some program to install the files....im so glad i didnt

I use mine at the gym with Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones. Music plays just fine - only thing that will interrupt the music is if a phone call comes in.

Movies/video must be in MP4 format.

those headphones look sweet....will a email interupt the music play?

You can get free music at Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent « then use the BB desktop software to load it onto the HH.

i drag and dropped a mp4 video,...and no dice...i only get the sound the on my bb.....


hmmm ill try another video....

Try going through Roxio Media Manager. It will automatically convert for you.

what is roxio media manager...and how do i do that?

It loads when you install the software that came with it.
