Have you tried moving music via mass storage device and windows explorer? (if using windows. I assume a Mac can do the same but not sure how. )

Custom d/l 4.2 withOUT media manger that should fix it at least for me it did...

not quite sure how i would be able to do that, because when the bb is connected it doesnt show up as a storage device or anything.

Mass storage won't work with out a mem card. Nether can you transfer music without a card. That could be your issue.

You can get ring tones without the card installed. OTA (over the air) or via download or email them to your BB and saving them to your phone memory. I know this on my pearl because I tried to copy music without a card when I first got my BB so don't feel bad. ;)
