Motorola V710
V710 MP3 Player - what am I missing??
I have a 1287 meg TF card loaded into the phone. I moved a 3.5 meg mp3 file to the \motorola\audio\ directory. It shows up in the SOUNDS menu on the phone, but when I go to play it, it chirps then stops.
Is there other software required for the phone to run MP3's?
Some switch that needs to be thrown?
Please don't tell me it is a software bug!!

not positive but this may be your problem. I was told that you need to:
1. format your transflash card (menu -> phone info -> storage devices -> menu -> format I believe off the top of my head)
assuming you did that already
2. change the file extension from .mp3 to .mid. I think the phone only plays .mid files. you can do this simply by right clicking your file, and renaming it to "MySong.mid". make sure the file type is .mid and its not "MySong.mid.mp3"
try that out, should work...mine works fine
hope that helps

Formatting it did the trick. Must be something about the way that works. When I installed the TF card it wrote the folders.
Now it plays fine!

Along with formatting I've found that you should shut phone down before inserting / removing card. About 50% of the time my files will corrupt if I try to hot swap.
...
And last but not least which is actually what you should have done in the first place. Turn off and turn on your phone. ok bye

Definitely make sure your file name is short...less than about 15 characters.
It doesn't matter if its an .mp3 file, mine all are. It says its an .mp3 player on the box when you buy the phone...
It's most likely the file you're trying to play. About 1 of 30 or so songs I put on don't work for no good reason. It might be something to do with the quality of the track, I've played everything from 96-192 kb/s quality but have had some problems with VBR (variable bit rate) quality files.
