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:

No worries - It makes the job twice as hard having to deal with conflicting advice too but we'll get there in the end

I just wanted to check if anything else was using data at all, which, by the sounds of it, it isn't.
For 300mb you can download around 80-100 songs a month so should be OK to keep you occupied for a while, or you can download them on your laptop and transfer them by using a data cable to the phone - Whichever you are more comfortable with really.

I think I'd like to try to download music straight to my mobile please :womanvery-happy:

do I now have to wait until the SD card is delivered from Amazon, before I go any further?

& would it be a good idea to go a searching around the house for the data cable, in any case? lol 

[MI5]

If you can find a data cable it will be a big help (for later) and yes, you need the SD card as your phone won't have enough memory to hold much music by itself.

thank you MI5, I expect looking for the data cable will keep me out of mischief for the rest of the afternoon 

[MI5]

Did you not leave it in the box the phone came in lol

[Anonymous]

MI5, I can't find a data cable anywhere in the house ..... have looked in all the likely places including 3 phone boxes ..... I don't remember ever using one ..... how long is it & how wide? ..... & ..... what do the 2 ends look like?

can I buy one from somewhere? ..... a bit sluffed

Is it not part of the mains charger Jane?
