Adding music to my Nokia 515

[Anonymous]

..... Toby's thread about music

I have a Nokia 515 (as recommended by MI5 earlier in the year) 

it has apps on it & more apps ..... but I've not touched any of those type of buttons because (1) I'm not sure what they do ..... & ..... (2) I'm frightened about running up an un-necessary bill ..... but I would like some music to listen to through earphones

I've stopped buying cd's from Amazon as its not economic & there maybe only one track I like eg recent Van Morrisson & Michael Buble purchases

I've not downloaded anything to my mobile

before coming into O2C I would regularly go into the town's O2 store for help ..... = ..... major reason I choose O2

would I be correct in thinking I would be able to go into the O2 store & ask them & they could look up my contract details & advise me? ..... I am conscious that every 15 minutes the staff are expected to make a sale & I do feel somewhat guilty if I'm not buying but only seeking advice

thank you :womanvery-happy:

When you put the CD into your laptop, open up Windows Media Player and click on the "Rip CD" tab.
It will list all the tracks on the CD and they will all be ticked. Just un-tick any you don't want and it will just copy the ones you do want

am doing that - how long should it take - there are 18 tracks on the cd -  the 3rd blue light from the left is still flickering = so it's still doing its stuff 

[MI5]

Not long but depends how fast the laptop is....
You should see each track count up to 100% in turn..

it seems to me that the whole of the cd was uploaded to laptop = my fault probably as I'm not sure if I c/o rip cd tab 

however, I have got pic of front of cd in trhc of my screen, but I can find no headphones which will fit into the usb connections on my laptop to listen to music

will I be able to order some headphones off Amazon 

I didn't see each track count up to 100% in turn, as you have written above

[edit]     trhc should read: top left hand corner, sorry 

[MI5]

Headphones fit into a 3mm round jack plug socket Jane, not the usb socket.

[aldaweb]

That will be 3.5mm if your checking for compatible ones Jane.

[MI5]

Apologies, of course aldaweb is correct....

thank you @aldaweb & @MI5 

I have found the 2 round sockets on my laptop 

[aldaweb]

One will be headphones and the other microphone, Jane.

The headphones will have a symbol similar to this
