Same here with my Samsung S401i lol

I'll start with windows media player.

transfer the song/mp3 file to your computer, then burn it as an audio cd (in WMP10, click the burn tab and burn them to a cd)

once you have done that go into Tools > options > rip music tab and at the bottom, you should see rip options make sure that the format selected is mp3, and that the slider below is set to the lowest it will go (far left, mine only goes to 128Kbps)

thanks gaming_ guy mine only goes back as 128kbps also oh well never mind she'll just have to make do with some decent polys ( if thats possible:rotfl: )

and thanks to wendy tiggermad new fangled phons seem to do less things these days:rotfl:

gaming_guy

right, if you have itunes (if not get it from here)

rip the song to the computer (if you didn't create a cd earlier!), then go to preferences > then the Advanced tab > importing tab

make sure the 'import using' drop down box is set to mp3 encoder > then click on the setting drop down list > then click on custom and make sure it is set to 48Kbps, an if that dont work, try 32Kbps

and if that dont work, it may be a restriction in the phones firmware ( a bit like the early S/E k700i's & k750i's on vodafone, which dont allow you to play un-DRM'ed tracks)
