Many cell phones now come equipped with a slot for a Mini SD card. These cards are usually sold separately from the phone, and can come in many different capacities, from megabytes to gigs. The best use for these cards is turning your phone into a mini-MP3 player. The cards help expand the space available on your phone; but before you can listen to the music, you must put it on the card first.
Instructions
1. Purchase a ,ini SD card. The size of the card depends on how much music you want to hold. For example, a 2-gig card can hold over 400 songs.
2. Make sure the Mini SD card comes with an SD adapter. If it does not, it will be nearly impossible to get music from your computer onto the card. Most of these cards come with an adapter, but if the one you bought did not (or you lost it), you can purchase another one at any online retailer.
3. Place the mini SD card inside the SD adapter. Make sure you are inserting it the correct way, so you do not damage the card. In most cases, there will be a picture showing which way the card should go in.
4. Purchase an SD card reader. Newer computers automatically have them built in, but some models still do not, making a separate unit necessary. Card readers plug directly into a USB drive for easy access.
5. Watch for a pop-up window to load automatically. If it does not, open My Computer and look for the device. It will have a drive name like “SD CARD (:E)” or something similar. Double-click on this device and an empty window should load. This means that the mini SD card currently has no data.
6. Open the folder that contains all of your music files. Highlight the files you want to put on the mini SD card, then drag them directly to the mini SD explorer folder. Your computer will automatically begin the copying process; it may take a few minutes to complete.
7. Unhook the SD card from the computer once the copying is finished. Place the card in the device and listen to the music to make sure the operation worked.
