How to Use a Blackberry Pearl as a MP3 Player

You're a gadget-conscious person. You want your phone, your PDA, Internet service and of course your music, and now you can have all of that rolled into one. Your Blackberry Pearl, which already sold you because it combined everything else into one small package, is now also your music player. So drop all those devices and learn how to convert your Blackberry Pearl to a MP3 player.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Purchase a Mini SD memory card of at least 2 GB. You can find these at any electronics store, but the best deals are on the Internet. If possible, find one that comes with a converter where the Mini SD card slides into a housing to make it fit a standard SD memory slot on the computer.
2. Insert the Mini SD card into the converter and pop the full sized memory card into your PC.
3. Start a music player application, such as Windows Media Player, on the computer. Go to the Sync tab (or wherever transferring files takes place in your specific software) to transfer the music you currently have on your PC to the memory card.
4. Choose which songs you want to transfer to your phone and begin the process according to the manufacturer's directions for your music software. When the transfer is finished, safely remove the memory card from the PC and take the Mini SD card from the converter.
5. Open the back cover to the Blackberry Pearl and remove the battery. Just above the slot where your SIM card is located is a slot for the Mini SD card. Slide the silver metal piece to the left to release it. Insert the card into the silver piece at a 90 degree angle and push the card back down, sliding the metal housing to the right to lock the card in place. Replace battery and backing.
6. Scroll to the Media icon on your Blackberry Pearl and access Music. Choose the Media Card folder. Each song copied to the memory card now shows up as an individual file. Click the menu key and scroll down to "Play All." You are now ready to rock and roll.

Tips & Warnings

• While the first song is playing, you have the option to again click the menu key and choose Shuffle to mix up the order of the song playlist if you wish.
• The phone automatically interrupts the music for an incoming call and resumes the song when the call is finished.
