Dont even use the music player that comes with it, there is a better way. Follow these instructions:

1) Go to menu
2) Press 3
3) Press 1
4) Press 2

Why is it that when I try to put songs on my phone from my computer they say that the songs are not protected? How can I change that? Or what can I do to get it protected so I can transfer the songs to my phone?

I am very pleased with this phone. It was a 16th birthday present and everyday is an adventure into the cellular unknown. I would recommend this phone to anyone choosing the Muziq as their first phone. The interface is nice and endless amounts of free 30 second Tetris (that’s the only problem I had with it… No Tetris…) will amuse anyone. Highly recommended.

hey guyz, can any1 tell how to download songs on LG 570 MUSIQ phone, because when it finds the USB, its asks for a disk.

The mass storage usb connect on this phone does not show up as a drive on my mac. The bluetooth capability is kinda buggy too. I was painfully uploading music to the Musiq and then all of a sudden (with plenty of space left on the memory chip) it isn’t working or reading the file anymore. Not sure what happened – the exchange file is the same… I guess I will have to go spend more money to get the disk reader for my mac. Any suggestions?

@sb
Hold the multifunction button down on the WEP200 until the LED light becomes a solid blue. Now go to your LX 570 phone and go to Menu -> Tools -> Bluetooth -> Add New -> Search. The WEP 200 should appear in the “found devices” list. Select it then choose “Add to Trusted”. For the PIN code enter “0000″ and hit Pair. It should say successful! Once complete chose an alias to finish. The phone should take you back to the Trusted Devices list. Choose the WEP200 then hit connect!

I noticed that when the music was originally programmed, it did include a media folder. The quick pocket guide that comes with the phone says that when you hold down the player button externally, that it will give you the option of going to the sprint store, or using the “media folder”. Then in the manual it clearly states that the musiq does not use a “media folder”. Yes I know…I sound really pissed off right now because I AM! Sprint screwed me over- I thought I was getting an upgrade from the fusic…not a downgrade!

Bought my wife and daughter each a new muziq. I tried to pair with samsung wep 200 and could not find a signal. Phone seems okay and works pretty well once you are setup but some odd issues do arise. Does anyone have ideas with regard to the wep 200?

@wendigo992
Music from Yahoo’s Music Unlimited subscription-based service have DRM on the files. Even if you did copy those files onto your phone, it probably will not play since they are protected.

@Brendon
A lot of Sprint phones did offer a “second” player which was based off the phone’s own software, but Sprint unfortunately has removed it from their new phones. You’ll now have to use the Sprint Music Store interface to get your music to play. And yes I agree that it is slow and painful to use. (I don’t necessarily like Verizon’s interface for music either, but it is a WHOLE LOT better!)

Do not buy the Musiq!!!!!!!! the fusic was way more practical. The fusic had a media folder, and they left that out of the Musiq to start forcing people to use the G** D*** sprint store. I cant even listen to music the way I want to on this new “musiq”. I was much happier with the function ability of the fusic. These guys just lost my business.

Does anyone know if you can load music from Yahoo Music Unlimited onto the Muziq? If so, how?

I’ve had my Musiq for 4 days now. Overall I like the phone. However, at the end of day 3 the external screen went white-out. I cycled the power, pulled batt. and restarted, left it off for a while, still white. However, after being off for a while the screensaver would return momentarily but in reverse. In two of our familys three vehicles, the FM transmitter is almost useless. The only way to get a remotely clear sound is to hold the phone right in front of the radio at a particular angle. It also works best if your touching it or your hand is in close proximity. I tried it on a clock radio and unless it was within a foot of the radio it had static. I manipulated the radio antenna and the phone but still on got decent sound if touching it. I’m not a great typist but its much harder to type one-handed. We’ve got two Motorola hs-820 bluetooth headsets and it will pair with them individually and has respectable clarity if the phone is on your person. In light of the fact that I have the screen issue, I suspect the problem might extend futher and maybe hamper the other functions of this phone. I wish it had an equalizer (even preset ones) and that you could play it mono through a bluetooth headset, but, oh well. Still, reception, compactness, and features far exceed my previoius Sanyo 8200, so can I really complain?
I will return to the Sprint store this morning and try to affect an exchange, and maybe I’ll have better luck. incidently, I did have a little trouble loading music. After reading some previous reviews, I saw where people were just dropping and dragging files. I did this and the songs were loaded on the card but not in the file that the player recognized. I didn’t want to reformat the original card because it has a file on it default, and I was afraid that it wouldn’t work at all. I will get a 2GB. card if they take care of my current phone and will experiment with it. I ended up having to use thier software and it wasn’t too bad. I was using Win. media player 11 on Vista home prem. on my previous attempt. Any advice on how to set this up more effectively would be great.

Sahas,
Good suggestion for Mac users, I have not tried it, but I’m sure you’re right. But this is another example of why this phone sucks. The manual says that it’s not Mac compatable. Too bad if you use a Mac, we don’t care, huh? Just put it in Mass Storage mode, gee where in the labyrinthian menu system might one find that? Oh, just look it up in the manual. I’m sorry but it’s 2007 it should just pop-up on the desktop when you plug it in, that’s it. Just put it on shuffle and skip the songs you don’t like! Well, you’re right that’s the only way to use this thing because anything else is just too much of a hassle. I guess the iPod and iPhone are jtoo easy, the Windows geeks can’t take it seriously! It’s supposed to be difficult and non-intuitive, that’s all they’ve ever known. If this over-designed piece of crap had been made by Apple we wouldn’t need to go online to figure-out something as basic as getting songs onto the phone. Hell, I’ll bet the good folks at LG really didn’t know you could transfer music files onto it from a Mac. So far I’ve got 3 different ways to do it but it’s not anywhere in the 200 page manual! Folks, I’ve played around with the iPhone and I can tell you it’s absolutely brilliant (you don’t have to be). And as far as the music interface on the iPod goes, chances are most people reading this already own one and love it!

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to connect the phone via the usb cable but it isn’t showing up on my computer.
