yeah i learnt that one max...remember
disc2phone is only good if your mp3's have already been encoded at more than 128kbps (i personally wouldnt use more than 128 mp3s, waste of space) and you want them reduced to save space on your duo, then d2p can kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak. Of course, if you're ripping direct from an Audio CD, then d2p is also pretty nifty to get the tracks on your phone quickly.
However, if the tracks you want to transfer are already encoded at your desired bit rate, draggin n droppin using explorer is sooo much simpler and quicker. Seriously though try experiementing with aac or m4a's, you'll save a chunk of space on your card

My WMP 10 Doesn't recognise AAC tracks though
Do i need any new codecs for it?

my bad
I thought it did, as usually Microsoft have proven how stupid they can be.
You can get a mass storage synchroniser for itunes. It allows you to synch itunes tracks with a mass storage device ex: your phone.
or you can always just use itunes to organise your music, then copy the contents of the itunes folder to your mp3 folder on the mem stick.

dbpoweramp is a good free solution for aac ripping. You can also use it to convert real audio files to aac.

Personally I dont really see why theres such need for a synchronization software, itunes, d2phone, wmplayer or whatever.
Ive allways found it much easier to simply use fileexplorer and copy/paste, or dragndrop my allready encoded mp4/aac or m4a/aac files, which are organised on my computer.
I use either DBpoweramp/Nero AAC codec or Itunes to convert or rip to mp4/m4a, but allways just copy the files manually through fileexplorer. So much easier and I dont have to worry about all these automated processes that very often gives different results than what you expect, and all that fiddling to make sure it synchronizes the right files to/from the device.

I agree numb, especially with regards to the K750. There is absolutely no reason to organise music the way itunes etc do (artist\album\trackname)
The W800 playlist is more useful if songs are in folders \mp3\artist\album\songname format, which enables playlist by artist or album, and more fluid playlist creation on the computer itself rather than the phone.
However even so, I still don't see it as that difficult to create a folder on the computer, put your chosen tracks in it, copy it to the phone and add that folder to a playlist. That's how I do it on the K750 and it's a piece of piss.
I also name all my songs artist-songname.mp4, so itunes organise music feature screws that system up.

All well and good using dBpowerAMP to convert, but the phone doesn't recognise AAC (mp4) files, only m3a... and the size difference between the m3a and the mp3 i have is negligable so I dont really see the point anymore.
If anyone can let me know exactly how I should be doing it to make a bigger difference I'll welcome it, but at the moment I'll stick to d2p i think (or just using explorer).
I would love to use nero etc, but they cost money and as a poor student I cant justify buying them, so it's freeware only for me...

uh??? what phone??? k750 reads m4a/mp4
and what is m3a??? lol
Max, itunes is usfull even for k750 users, because it automatically organizes in folders artist - album - tracks, if you want to
and if you use itunesmyportable, you can also choose other type of folder structure, directly from itunes general library
too bad itunesmyportable isnīt free...

target.. ah.. what drugs you on man?
Arez, agree that itunes is useful for some, but K750 doesn't read id tags of mp4 so it's necessary to have the artist name and song name both in the filename if you want to see both artist and songname in the mediaplayer scrolling display. It doesn't read the song info from the folder structure the way W800 does.
So you end up with songname.m4a in folder "artist".
Doesn't work for me, but I'm not dissin' the method since for many peeps it would save a lot of hassle. If I could get itunes to organise folders and song names like below, then I'd use it to make playlists as desired in itunes and just copy the resulting folders to the phone:
itunes music folder\playlistname\artistname-songname.m4a
That would be useful to me
itunesportable hey? Would that do what I want, including artistname-songname.m4a filenames?
