Memory Card

Your i875 phone comes with a 32 MB memory card, memory card reader, and memory card adaptor.
A memory card is a removable flash memory card that you can use to store pictures, videos, and audio files. The memory card can be inserted in your phone or connected to your computer using the memory card reader and memory card adaptor.
When the memory card is in your phone, many types of pictures, videos, and audio files stored on the memory card can be viewed or played using your phone's Media Center. MP3 audio files stored on the memory card can be played using your phone's audio player.
A memory card reader connects to your computer’s USB port and lets you access the memory card from your computer. This lets you save files from your computer to your memory card or save files from your memory card to your computer.

Audio Player

Your i875 phone includes an audio player that you can use to play MP3 audio files stored in your phone’s memory or on the memory card inserted in your phone.
The audio player groups the MP3 audio files on the memory card into folders and lists. When you select an audio file to play, the audio player plays this audio file and then plays the other audio files grouped with it.
If you receive a phone call, Walkie-Talkie call, call alert, message notification, a Datebook reminder, or a GPS notification while playing an audio file with the audio player, the audio file pauses and a prompt appears asking you if you want to accept the incoming call or alert or ignore it.
The audio player begins playing at the currently selected volume, even when Vibe All is set to On.

How Your Audio Files Are Organized

The audio player groups the MP3 audio files on the memory card into folders and lists.
Since you will probably want to use the audio player primarily to play songs, the audio player treats the MP3 audio files on the memory card as songs when grouping and organizing them.
The audio player uses metadata found in most MP3 audio files to group the files on the memory card by album, artist, and genre. You can also create your own groupings of audio files, called playlists.
When you access the audio player, you see that the audio files are grouped into these folders:
• Songs — All MP3 audio files on the memory card inserted in your phone, listed alphabetically by title.
• Playlists — Folders and lists you have created. If you have not created any playlists, this folder contains only the Favorite playlist, which is empty.
•Albums — Songs grouped by album. The albums are listed alphabetically by title. The songs on the albums are listed in the order that they normally appear on the album.

Searching By First Letter

•Artists — Songs grouped by artist. The artists
are listed alphabetically by name. Within each artist’s folder, the songs are listed alphabetically by title.
•Genres — Songs grouped by artist. The artists are listed alphabetically by name. Within each artist’s folder, the songs are listed alphabetically by title.
In the Albums, Artists, and Genres folders, any MP3 audio files that do not contain enough metadata to be grouped by album, artist, or genre are paced in a folder labelled “Unknown”.
Searching By First Letter
Any time you are viewing an alphabetical list of audio files or folders, you can go the items starting with any letter by using your phone’s keypad to enter that letter.

Playing a List, Repeat, and Shuffle

When you select an audio file to play, the audio player plays this audio file and then plays the other audio files grouped with it. The repeat and shuffle features help determine which of these songs are played.
If you are not using the repeat or shuffle features, the audio player plays the audio file you select and then plays the rest of the files in the list or folder, in the order they appear, until it gets to the end of the list or folder. The audio player then goes to the beginning of the list and pauses until you resume playing.
The repeat feature lets you set the audio player to play all the audio files in a list or folder, in order, starting again at the beginning of the list when it gets to the end, without pausing or stopping. It also lets you set the audio player to play one audio file repeatedly, starting over as soon as it ends.
The shuffle feature lets you set the audio player to play the audio files in a list or folder in random order, until you stop it.

audio file currently playing, or viewing visuals, press m.

Working with Playlists

Playlists are lists of audio files you create from the files already available through the audio player.
Playlists enable you to group audio files as you like them, but they do not change anything in the other folders or on the memory card. Adding a file to a playlist does not copy it or move it. Removing a file from a playlist, or deleting the playlist that a file is listed in, does not delete the file from any other location.
