Help with Music transfer and CD covers

1 replies · 2,093 views · Started 25 May 2009

I have been transferring music from PC to Phone converted CD's (to MP3 and aac) and a few album downloads.

I guess there is going to be a bit of debate on this but do you favour media or real players.

I get intermittant results in terms of the phone successfully recieving the CD cover. I'm always saving to memory card.

Any recommendations?

I have had the same problem with tranfers to a 5800

Many thanks

Here's how I do it with my N96:

  • Rip CDs to MP3 with Windows Media Player
  • Choose "Recently Added" from Library pane
  • Select all tracks from newly ripped CD
  • Right click
  • Choose "Advanced tag editor"
  • Select "Pictures" tab
  • Click "Add" button & navigate to required picture (scanned, borrowed from amazon etc)
  • Choose "Cover (front)" from "Picture Type" drop-down
  • Click "Apply"

Next time you transfer these tracks to your phone, you should see the cover in music player.
