How to Sync Music to a Palm Pixi

Syncing music to an HP/Palm Pixi device is simple.

Apart from being a fully functional 3G smartphone, HP/Palm Pixi and Pixi Plus devices also have a pre-installed music player application. The devices feature a standard mini-stereo headphone jack, so the phone can be used as a portable MP3 player. Syncing music files to these devices is similar to transferring files to a jump drive. All you have to do is connect your phone to a computer through a USB connection, and drag-and-drop the music files you want on your device to the appropriate folder.

Instructions

1. Connect your HP/Palm Pixi or Pixi Plus to your computer using a micro-USB-to-USB 2.0 cable. The charger that comes with your device will have a removable cable that can be used for this connection.

2. Tap the "USB Drive" button that appears upon connection.

3. Open Windows Explorer or Finder, if you are on a Mac, and open the device labeled "Palm Pixi."

4. Double click on the "Music" folder.

5. Open the folder containing the music files that you want to transfer to your HP/Palm Pixi or Pixi Plus. File formats that are compatible with the device include: MP3, AAC, AAC, eAAC, AMR, QCELP and WAV.

6. Drag the music files from the second Explorer or Finder window to the first window you opened for your phone's USB drive.

7. Wait for the files to finish transferring, then press the "Eject" button. You can now open these files on the "Music" application for your HP/Palm Pixi smartphone.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also download free apps from the App Catalog that can stream music and podcasts to your phone. These include Pandora, Stitcher, Slacker Radio and many others.
