I didnt buy the cord for it at all… I have the slot for the memory card on my computer… went to wmp and synced a ton of mp3’s and it turned them into .wmv’s. just copy all the .wmv’s u want on the phone and paste them into the “my music” folder… make sure u put the disc in the cell before u do all that so it sets it all up…wouldnt radio shack have a adapter so u can use your own head phones?
