Samsung D500

oldagetraveller

If this should be in the "Techie" section then apologies and please move.
Anyone familiar with the Samsung D500 mobile 'phone?
I have a usb - handset data cable and Easy Studio v2.0 software on my pc. I can't find any reference to transferring MP3 files from pc to 'phone on the software. The 'phone's instruction manual just refers to Easy Studio 2 where I assume the details/option should be. Is there some of the software missing or am I just being dense?
I sent an e-mail to Samsung support and they sent a 5MB!!!!!! reply which my ISP has had to delete from their system at my request. My dial up can't really cope with 5MB all in one go.
Ideas/advice would be appreciated.

Well I have transferred mp3 files over on my D800 and I assume this will be very similar to the D500. My phone came with 'samsung pc studio' and it is this software that I use along with the usb cable to do all the transferring. The process itself is very simple - just like using Window's Explorer and copying the mp3s from your pc to the appropriate music folder of the phone.

The handbook definitely states Easy Studio 2, however that doesn't mean you are incorrect Browntoa, they're not infallible.

Thanks for all replies, I'm waiting for a response from Samsung, to a second message I sent about the 5MB e-mail.
I'm thinking the software I have is possibly lacking the MP3 bit?

What a wonderful reply from Samsung! "You use the file manager to transfer" "the correct folder to use depends on which service provider you are with. With Vodafone it's the ringtone folder"
That's it! No actual instructions or where to find them??
Why do CS staff always assume everybody is a computer "expert"?

thor - probably the same method as your D800, so how, please.

it it pretty simple to tranfer mp3's via bluetooth. i dont know how to do it via cable. anyway if you decide to use bluetooth and win xp's built in tools you just right click on the file> send via bluetooth> then let the comp find the phone> then click on the phone and it should start to send the mp3 to the phone

Yes it does sound like it but I don't know what all that stuff about service provider has got to do with it. I just copied the mp3 files from my computer to the 'music' folder in my phone. When you connect via usb and the 'pc studio' software you can see the files and folders of both the pc and the phone so it is obvious where you have to navigate. I've just been checking Samsung's site and have come across a page where you can download software for the d500 and I see that it does have 'pc studio' there among others. I hope this sorts out your problem:-

thor - many thanks. I'm sure it's all there with the software, just me being thick! Yes I do get the files and folders on the left and a virtual 'phone on the right of the screen when I open up Easy Studio "file manager" software and connect via the usb cable . I'll keep trying and possibly download "pc studio" from the Samsung website.
I'm also hoping for another reply from Samsung after questioning the "really useful" response of yesterday.
I also wondered what the Vodafone stuff was about - it's irrelevant anyway, I'm not on Vodafone!
Thanks again.
