Ive got an lg vx9400 and the music essentials 2g card

when i try to put songs on the card that are mp3 only like 1/3 of them make it on, they show up on the computer but then not on the phone

i have tried converting them into different formats but still it seems like its just picking random songs it wants to play

i also had this problem on the lg vx8100

does anyone know what format/encoding they need to be plz help me

make sure they are not titled longer than like 30 characters or something too.

possible, .wmv may have DRM protection. If I do remember correctly, my LG phone did support .wmv, for ringers and such, but is has been a while since i cared.

Another question to ask OP is:

all the different formats, did the same songs load, and the songs that didn’t load . didn’t load. if so what Boxxa said in the previous post something with naming may be an issue, of course one would hope that it would be truncated instead of just denied.
