So then, is my mp3 player completely useless?

    I'm talking about the mp3 player on the Motorola E770v. By the looks of it, I can only transfer songs from my computer onto my phone using bluetooth, which my computer doesn't have.

    When I connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable, it recognises it as new hardware and as "Motorola V770v phone" and then asks me to insert a software disc, which I don't have.

    So what's the story here? Have I missed something?

    bread .... this is how I access my memory card in the phone to down load photo's to the phone (music would be similar I guess) if I get the message you refer to i.e. insert disc ....

    follow this to the letter and see what it gives you .... (after double click on 'mobile' folder you should then be able to get audio ... video and picture folders ... and off you go) ....
    Power down phone (using red button)

    Power up phone .. .. ..

    On phone …. Connections >select USB > select memory card


    Cable into phone

    Put USB Cable into PC

    My computer > double click on drive E …. Double click on ‘mobile’ ….. then right click on picture folder and open with ‘U Lead Explorer ….. (the U lead thingy is something I use re photo's)

    Yep - you missed soemthing (but its so well hidden that we all missed it).

    Go into connectivity - USB and set the connection type to memory card - this means that your card will show up as a drive on your PC/mac. From there you can just drag 'n' drop your files..If you leave connectivity to "data" it will try and load drivers etc etc.

    Edit: note to self - must read previous posts...

    Nice one parsi, I was just about to ask the same question... For a moment I was worried I was suppose to shell out another 60 quid to Motorola for that stupid utility disk of theirs! :rolleyes:
