Hello forum members. I joined the forum yesterday after purchasing a Lotus 5 days ago and i must say the phone is amazing especially since i upgraded from the samsung m300. My question is does the music button no the side of the lotus onlyactivate music stored or downloaded in 'ALL MY MUSIC' content, or can i also activated music stored in the music folder of the micro sd card with the same button? Can i play the music stored in the MUSIC folder with the flap closed?:smileysad:

Well, i am going to do an odd thing and asnwer my own post. Over the last few days i was able to figure outhow to do it. If you download music from the sprint store, it will be saved by default into the ALL MY MUSIC folder of your player and you can activate and play this music with the music buttons on your phone. I had difficulty playing music that i transfered into the phone from the computer because it was WMA (windows media audio) which is not one of the supported music formats on the phone. The solution? Convert the music saved on your computer into one of the supported formats i.e M4A, MP3, AAC, AAC+, before you transfer it to the phone. There are several different ways to this. I downloadedand installed itunes into my computer first. Then i opened itunes and windows media player side by side. Then i clicked, dragged and dropped the albums that i wanted to play on my phone from the windows media player library into the itunes library. Itunes will ask if you want to change the album into one of the supported formats for the phone before it transfers the music into the library. Click yes and it will do the work for you. Once you complete the task, connect the phone to the computer via USB. You have to manually put the phone into USB mode and in the "Transfer music option," or you can eject the micro sd card, plug into the adapter that comes with it and connect to the computer with a card reader. Most computers the micro sd card will be recognized as drive F: open the drive folders and click, drag and drop the music files that you just trasfered from itunes into the 'MUSIC' folder of the micro sd card. Once you are done, disengage the USB Mode on the phone, or unplug the micro sd card from the computer using the proper procedure and plug back into the phone. Now press and hold the music player button to activate the music player and enjoy your music with the flap opened or closed. Remember the music has to be in one the phones supported formats in order for the music player to recognize it and play it using the music buttons on the phone.
