Hello,

I just received the Nokia 770 on friday; I am not an expert as many of you; this maybe a dumb question but how would I transfer songs from my laptop to the 770?

thanks,

However, I have seen several stupid answers. Here are a few more

There are several ways to accomplish this task, depending on skill level and time you want to spend learning.

The easiest way to to plug the 770 into the usb port on your laptop, this will give you the mmc card available at 64MB if you have not altered anything, it will show up normally like any other memory stick in windows.

You can install ftp client on the 770, and ftp the files, you can install ssh and use scp to copy the files. You can install portmapper and use nfs to mount your laptop, if you were running linux, or cygwin on windows. There are tons of ways to do this, web server on the laptop use the browser on 770 to save the files. If your laptop accepts MMC, you could use the memory card directly in the laptop to place the files.

take your pick!! :D

which program is the best to do this and where would I get it from..
thanks again,

None really. It depends on what you're desktop machine is. What are you transfering from? With that we can tell you the best or easiest way to do this

Hi,

I have the Dell X1 with Windows XP; I want to transfer songs to the 770.

thanks again

Again, the easiest way for you to do this would probably be by connecting the usb cable that came with the 770 to the dell. Doing this will allow you to use explorer to copy and paste into the memory on the 770.

I tried dragging a song to the memory card; it states unknown file on the 770.

this is very frustrating in between patients; if someone can make this easier for me...
thanks in advance.

What's the filetype of the song? .wma (Windows Media Audio) isn't supported as it's proprietary to Microsoft.

A complete list of supported audio/video types (and associated extensions) can be seen here:
