The phone did not come with a USB cable (which I find a bit cheeky as people are expected to pay for a USB cable AND a memory card if they want to use it for it's Walkman function - no wonder it seemed like a bargain price!)</P><P></P><P>SO I bought a memory card (SD Micro with an a larger 'adaptor' memory card to put it in my laptop) but not a usb cable as I can't afford it. However, I was told that I could put music files onto the card from my laptop, put the card in the phone and access them from there.</P><P></P><P>Now I have done this, I have ripped the music from a CD, saved as MP3, transferred to the memory card, put the card in the phone, located files on the phone but they won't play!!! It just keeps saying 'playback failed' - whether I play through Walkman or File Manager.</P><P></P><P>I have been looking at the FAQs online but there is nothing that is offering me a solution to this problem. I have also contacted Sony Ericsson Support but have heard nothing back yet.</P><P></P><P>I bought the Spiro for its simplicity but it seems I may have made the wrong choice.</P><P></P><P>So as I see it I have shelled out £50 for a phone and £20 for memory card which I cannot currently use.</P><P></P><P>If anyone can offer any help at all I would really appreciate it!</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 Sep 2010 13:31:00 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/spiro-music-playback-issues/m-p/2764892#M4508 2010-09-29T13:31:00Z Re: Spiro Music Playback Issues!!!! https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/spiro-music-playback-issues/m-p/2764893#M4509 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><A href="http://www.soft82.com/download/windows/switch-audio-file-converter/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.soft82.com/download/windows/switch-audio-file-converter/</A> This sounds like a music file format compatibility issue and since there is no type of media manager for the Spiro, I would suggest you use an audio file format converter such as Switch from the link above, to convert your mp3 music files into .aac, .m4a or .mp4 format.Hope this helps. </P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 Sep 2010 14:11:24 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/spiro-music-playback-issues/m-p/2764893#M4509 Dr_Chris 2010-09-29T14:11:24Z Re: Spiro Music Playback Issues!!!! https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/spiro-music-playback-issues/m-p/2764894#M4510 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you SO much Dr Chris!
