Question
QUESTION: I downloaded a bunch of little things onto the card, (music and video) with the music in "my music" and the videos in "my flix". I found the music and played it fine, but I can't seem to find the videos. How do I?

ANSWER: Hello Micah,

The first thing you need to find out what type of videos you transfered over to your phone because cellphones only play certain encoded videos like .3gp and other cell phone formats. Find out what type of video formats your cell phone supports and then you can encode your videos with a encoder and transfer them to your cell phone. Give me your cell phone model and I will help you further onto the next step. Also let me know what type of videos you have on your computer wether .wma .avi .mpg or what type of videos you have.

QUESTION: I have the new LG Chocolate.

The videos are all .mpg type.

ANSWER: Hello Micah,

Your phone will not recognize the files because it does not support that type of media what you need to do is find a software that will convert your mpg files to files that are supported on your phone. The following link is software that will do just that http://www.xilisoft.com/3gp-video-converter.html give it a try. After you convert your videos you can transfer them to your micro card and you will be able to see them on your phone without any problems to make sure that this software will work on your phone download the demo and try it. I hope that I have been of help to you if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your question.

QUESTION: You've been very helpful so far, and everything has been working fine.

But I have another question.. to listen to the music on my phone through headphones, do I need to buy some sort of adapter? There is obviously no jack to do so with..

Answer
Hello Micah,

You can actually purchase bluetooth stereo headphones which are really cool. I use these here http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-BT620s-Bluetooth%C2%AE-headset-Bluetooth/dp/B000E7YS but you can purchase different bluetooth stereo heaphones made by motorola and other companies which work really well. You can also purchase an adapter for your phone such as this from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YGKMLC this adapter will allow you to adapt any headphones you already have to your phone. I hope I have been of help to you and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your question.
