Copying music to your device
You can copy selected tracks, an entire album or a playlist from the computer to your device. Music is copied to the preferred memory location, which is defined in the Nokia Ovi Suite options. Make sure that you are using the memory location with the most available space. To check which memory is currently in use, or to change it, select Tools > Options. Select the My devices tab and the best available option as Preferred memory.
Note:
When copying music between your device and computer, it is recommended that you use a USB cable connection and, depending on the device model you are using, either use the Nokia Ovi Suite or PC Suite mode if your device selects it automatically or you need to select the media transfer mode. Then the DRM licenses that are required for playing copy protected tracks are also transferred along with the tracks. Transferring music over a Bluetooth connection is slower, and does not transfer the DRM licenses for your tracks. In this case, DRM licenses need to be checked via the mobile network the next time you play the tracks in your device.
If a notification asks you to change the USB mode on your device, this is because you are copying copy protected music tracks.
To copy individual tracks or an album to your device, do the following:
-
Select Music library in the navigation area. The items area shows you a list of all artists or albums in your music collection depending on which mode is selected.
-
From the items area, highlight the desired artist or album. The tracks of that artist or album are listed in the content area.
-
From the content area, highlight the tracks you want to copy to your device.
-
Select Tools > Copy to device.
OR
Drag the tracks to your device displayed in the lower left-hand corner of Nokia Ovi Suite.
To copy a playlist to your device, do the following:
-
Click the desired playlist in the navigation area.
-
If you want to change the order of tracks in a playlist, do it before you copy the playlist to your device. Once you have copied the playlist, you cannot reorder the tracks.
-
Select Tools > Copy to device.
OR
Drag the playlist to your device displayed in the lower left-hand corner of Nokia Ovi Suite.
Note:
To be able to see the copied music on your device, you may need to refresh your device’s music library.
If you receive an error message that copying the tracks failed, the WPD driver installation has probably failed for the device. Check the instructions in Troubleshooting browsing and copying music.
Tip:
You can also drag music from Windows Explorer to your device.
