Walmart Songs

When I right click on "listen" and "save file as" the only option is to save it as a .asx file. This is a audio/video play list file. It is not the song, but a link to the streaming song. This does not work. What am I doing wrong.

Windows Media Player opens up. What opens when you click on it? WMP does not let you save the song.

Your not wanting to BUY these from wal-mart. What I am talking about is - say you want to order a CD from Wal-Mart.com. Well in doing so you can sample some of the songs on the CD before you buy it. THESE are the MP3's I am speaking of.

Once you get the MP3 from the Walmart site, where on the Cingular page do you paste the URL to upload to your phone to get it to your phone for free? Or is there a different way to get these to your phone for free?

Well - I don't know what you are doing different. All I am doing is right-clicking on where it says "MP3 audio" and doing a save as. It is listed as an MP3 when I do the save as. Actually the name of the clip is just a bunch of numbers like 061172283945578.mp3.

The Walmart idea was sweet!!! I guess it would work with alot of sites (online stores) that offer free "non streaming" music samples...

I had same problem initially... go to this url. Browse from here for song you want. You will see they offer MP3 options from here.

I was able to use vzwpix to send several .mid files two weeks ago when I first got the phone. I've tried the last couple days without success... some of the postings say that is a known vzn network problem. Ieven tried resending files that have worked before.

My last post was to help get :30 second mp3 off of Walmart site. This is cool solution... even if you decide to use a transflash.

Hopefully ntwk issue will resolve itself... if that is what issue is.

My last several attepts said successful on website... but never arrived at the phone.

How do you get these MP3's to your phone without any charges? Can you help? Someone told me to go to the Cingular site and upload it.. but I don't see where you can do that without getting charged...

OK, heres what I've done so far:

1. Went to walmat.com and downloaded two songs
2. Played them on Microsoft Media Player
3. Saved then as xxx.mid making sure the files were less then 370k
4. Emailed them using both yahoo.com, and hotmail.com. However, when using yahoo.com, the email went to the phone, but the attachment did not work. When using hotmail.com, all there times the email was returned.

Any ideas?

Just go out and buy yourselfs a transflash card and you won't have to worry about converting anything.
