V7 software question...do I have to convert .mp3 to .wma?

Hello, I just got a new 8100 due to an insurance claim (water damage) and found out its flashed with V7. Previously I had V4 and could play mp3s on my mini SD card. I was worried that the mp3 player was missing, but then I looked through some other threads and it seems that I can enable the mp3 player through the "hidden" menu, but then the music manager is disabled.

My question is, do I have to convert all my mp3 files to .wma files in order to use the music manager? Is that difficult? H

Im not familar with the different versions. I just received my 8100 from insurance claim as well. I bought the music essentials kits from the verizon store. I come with all the software needed to put songs....i assume wma files on the phone. using that software the music manager works great. I has a 512 mini sd card. Im very happy with how its working this way...cant really tell ya about the mp3 side of it....hope this helps some

You have to access the manual programming screen by press menu and 0 (zero), last option is to turn MP3 mode on or off. You can still drop and drag right to the mem card. But, to play the music, you must access and start the mp3 player thru the Get It Now Menu. Once the first song starts to play, you can flip the phone closed, and use the external keys to then control the music player

you can use mp3's and wma's. mp3's will work the same as on v04 but you will need to use wma's if you want to use the playlists and such. i think that's what you were asking.
