HIDDEN MP3 PLAYER FOUND???????

I had an LG VX8000 for a few weeks and loaded MP3s via Bitpim into the appropriate directory (the only was to get them there as the MOD service is not up yet). Once the files are there, the player controls on the front work and you get use the hidden player. It was quite nice. I would betcha this phone is the same. I also bet Bitpim will work too.


is this true? anyone with a phone, have you tried this? and how can you even get MP3's to your phone? via bluetooth? or USB cable? how do you have those already?

and ALOALOCA (original poster), what is the "apporpriate directory"?

ALAOLACOLA, did you find a way through the program bitpim to play full length MP3's on the VX8000, and could it be possible to do this with the VX8100?

I can't take credit for the find; that information is on Howard Forums in a sticky. Althought the VX8000 had only around 30 or so megs for MP3s, it would play them wonderfully at any bit rate you want. When I got it working, I knew RIGHT AWAY what those funky stereo speakers were for. I would bet Verizon ordered the VX8000 from LG with the capability to play MP3s, but Verizon didn't get their Music On Demand service up in time for the phone to use it. See my post above for my thoughts on the VX8100.

Bitpim is here:
