I find that the Ican transfere music using the media player mode inboth vista and xp but the files are too large. The Music convertion and tranfer on PC Suit only works on xpand quadruples the amount of music i cat put on the phone. It's worth noting that the music tranfere program on PC Suit duplicates the mosic file which may create problems if you have limited memory on you pc.

As far as transfering music, I found this a doddle. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop running windows xp latest SP. the phone is firmware version V11.0.034. When you connect the supplied USB cable you get several options on the phone: Media player ( for use with windows media player) PC suite ( for nokia PC suite) Data transfer ( this makes the phone appear as a removal disk drive and doesn't need any nokia specific drivers) Image transfer ( for USB OTG printing) I haven't tried the media player stuff because I'm not a fan of windows media player. But through the nokia PC suite i found this to work fine. In all reality, I'm more likely to use the bulk transfer because this is generally a faster transfer method. But most of the time I found the best option for file transfer is using WLAN and the bundled home media server app. This found all the files on my local PC and brought up a standard windows file dialogue box to boot. Once I got my WLAN setup and then configured the home server correctly on my phone, the phone allowed me to browse the library on my phone and transfer any files to the phone memory or stream them directly from the PC Although I haven't got Vista ( and it's probably worth noting that itunes has trouble with Vista)I found your review vastly different from my experience. Have you tried any of the other methods? It might be worth giving them a go .... cheers Hi,

That's the phone many of the early adopters finger as the device of choice for the task you're trying here.

The N-seris FM Radio also comes in handy in my gym where there are six TV sets available to watch during exercise routines -- all putting out their audio via an FM transmitter at different frequncies.
