Sony Ericsson W980i Review – Receive and Transmit Music

April 29th, 2010



The Sony Ericsson W980i is another great phone in the Walkman series. It includes a built-in FM transmitter that allows the W980i to take whatever is playing on the device and send it to other devices using the built in radio receiver. That means you can tune into your mobile phone from a car stereo, and with the 8000 song capacity, that can make for a nice change of pace when you’re driving, especially if you have to travel any distance.

With the Sony Ericsson W980i you have access to over five million tracks. Though the storage capacity is only for 8,000, that gives you an opportunity to change tunes when you tire of what you have store on your music phone. You can also choose to listen to whatever is on the FM receiver such as sports, weather, news, and anything else that appeals to you. You can even choose to switch back and forth between the radio and the music player in order to have a wider selection of music from which to choose.

The Sony Ericsson W980i also has a 3.2 megapixel camera with 3x zoom and unlike other phones in the Walkman series, the W980i has a flash. No information was available on the type of flash that the camera uses, but the fact that there is one available puts this phone higher in desirability than others in the same class. Of course, for those that are more interested in the music capabilities of the phone, even that may not be of great importance to you at all. Since all of the phones in the Walkman series (W) were built primarily as music phones, SE didn’t see a reason to add high quality cameras.

As the Walkman series becomes more popular, you can see more features going into the phones than there is now. Of course, there are currently more features than one would have thought a few years ago-when mobile phones first entered the market, who thought we would be playing music or taking pictures with them? Sony Ericsson has come a long way with their phones, and with Sony behind it, there are more choices in the music end of it.

As we progress, you will find more phones and higher capabilit8ies in each phone. For now look at a Sony Ericsson W980i review to see what people are saying and what other features they may seek other than a music phone with a high quality camera as well. Find some mobile phone deals, and you will be in a better position to check the W980i and see the high level of performance it provides and make sure all of the features are working properly. Choosing the W980i as your next mobile phone will provide you with hours of musical pleasure and quality talk time as well. If you want the best in a music phone, you want to give the W980i some quality time to strut its stuff.

How To Put Music On The PSP

April 22nd, 2010



Let’s face it people, if you don’t own a digital music player you are more than a little out of touch with society and popular society in particular. Everyone seems to have their entire music collections stored on a small device that can fit in your pocket, so what are you doing still carrying around your Walkman? If the problem is that you can’t spend any extra in addition to your PlayStation Portable then let me let you in on a little secret that could change your life … the PSP can play MP3s! Follow a few easy steps and you too will be able to learn how to put music on the PSP.

Begin by getting your CDs moved to your computer’s hard drive. This is quite simple if you have Windows Media installed on your computer, just insert the disc into the PC and click on the button that is titled “rip”. This puts the tracks on your hard drive and makes it possible for you to move on to the second stage of the transfer process. In addition you can also search the internet for a suitable free CD ripper, one that will convert your CD’s to the MP3 format.

It is very important that you purchase the right USB cable to hook your PSP up to your PC so you can begin to transfer the files from one to the other. Once the cords are connected you only have to click on the “home” and “X” buttons to bring up the option to connect with the “USB Device”.

Once you have connected the PSP to the PC then you need to copy the audio files in the MUSIC folder, which resides in the PSP folder on your computer and begin transferring (or copying and pasting) mp3 files to that area. Once you are done all you have to do is press the “O” button to get ready to enjoy all of the music that you transferred.

That’s how easy it is to put music on the PSP. Make sure that you have some sort of categorization or sorting process in place so you can tell what you are choosing to listen to when the time comes to do a little easy listening. Does it really get much easier than that?
