How to Download Music to the Juke Music Player

Samsung Juke owners create a playlist of favorites using the Juke Music Player.

Verizon Wireless's "Samsung Juke" phone is equipped with the "Juke Music Player" application, allowing you to manage and play your favorite music. The Juke Music player is compatible with the most popular music formats in use (MP3, WMA, WMA Pro, AAC and AAC+). This versatility affords you multiple sources for music on your phone, including ripping music from CDs and retrieving music from various online music stores. Once you store the music on your hard drive, you can download or transfer it to the Samsung Juke.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Microsoft Windows operating system
• Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 (WMP)

1. Connect the USB cable to the Samsung Juke cell phone and the USB port on your computer. Pause and give the operating system time to recognize the phone and install drivers. You will see a pop-up balloon near the system time once the process is complete.

2. Click on the icon to open WMP. The icon is found in "All Programs" on the Start menu, the Windows desktop or the Quick Launch toolbar on the taskbar. Wait for WMP to open a device setup dialog box.

3. Type "Samsung Juke" in the blank field labeled "Name your device" in the dialog box, then click the "Finish" button to close and bring the main WMP program to the front of the screen.

4. Click on the "music note" symbol in the top-left corner of WMP to show the "Media" menu, then select "Music." Wait for your playlist and library to show in the left pane, and listings of songs in the center/right pane.

5. Left-click and drag your song(s) into the far-right pane under "Sync List."

6. Click the "Start Sync" button in the "Sync List" pane to begin downloading (transferring) your music to your Samsung Juke phone. Monitor WMP for progress indicators and a message that synchronization is complete.

Tips & Warnings

• Use the "V CAST Music Store" to buy and add more songs to your music collection. Once the songs are on the PC, then use WMP to transfer the songs to your phone. Please see a link in Resources for "Downloading Purchased V CAST Music."

• You cannot download music from the Internet directly to your phone using Verizon Wireless's "V CAST Over The Air Music" offering; however, you can download ringtones using the "Get It Now" offering (see Resources).
