options > media card > select format

Makes it possible to read from and write to the card

You are going to have to format it on your pc or the BB. If the card is in the BB, just go to options, media card, press the menu key and select format card. It needs to be setup to read the card properly

Where are the tunes from? It is my understanding that DRM
protected song (ITunes and a few others) will not play on the BB

[lovejule69]

the tunes are on my windows media player, they are mp3's

[amazinglygraceless]

I think you may have misunderstood. Are these songs you ripped
from your own cd's or were they purchased from somewhere?

There are protected mp3's as well

[lovejule69]

they are songs from cds and songs ive downloaded from the net

''format failed''

Did you copy those files to the proper folder on the media card. When you format it in the BB, the BB creates folders for music, ringtones, photos. While you can play files in the wrong folders (using other techniques), the Media Player will only show them if they are in the right locations.

The other issue, do your MP3's have proper tags. They will only show up depending on their tag, like title, artist, etc.

what size is the card?
Do you have an adapter for your pc?

I tried formatting a 4GB card in my 8310 the other day, it said failed. Os there an upper limit?
