Samsung Moment Media Specs Ringtone formats
Someone asked what kind of music format are support on the Sprint Samsung Moment, and how to get the Itunes or transfer music from zune, itunes etc to the Samsung Moment, and how to transfer them?
First, MP3, MP4 / AAC, MP4 / AMR, M4A, 3GP / AAC, 3GP / AMR, WMA music format can be consider as the Ringtones, and File size less than 300K can be assigned to be ringtones, learn how to make large mp3 files into 300k by 3rd party software, or tips to bypass the samsung moment ringtone size limit.
Second, As to transfer the Itunes Mp3 music files, that is protect,. You need 3rd party software to “retrive” the mp3 unprotected and then transfer. Dueto copyright thinking, we did not list of the software name and download address.
according to one contributer on the answers forum,
most MP3 player CAN play MP3 files. there are loads of format convertors for the mac and windows ones.. search for them on www.versiontracker.com
OR you use itunes to export most files to mp3 format.
1. in settings/preferences select the quality you want to export at by setting the IMPORT CD to the MP3 you want (always go for highest quality).
then select the track you like, from advanced menu select convert to MP3.
it then makes a new track in MP3 format… control click on it or right click and ’show in finder’… copy that file to your desktop
take copied file and drag it onto the Player.
NOTES:
some player can only use their own program to load onto them ipod /Walkman. Zune and creative Zen and possibly philips are in that list. some will only work on windows and others like the ipod are mac and windows.
IMPORTANT some tracks have DRM copy protection (bought form itunes as normal protected files and not the itunes + high quality unprotected ones). If the track has DRM copy protection it is not possible to convert the track, nor will it play on an unauthorised device (non ipod, or ipod not registered to a computer authorised to the account that bought the track). its illegal to try and rarely works even with illegal programs.
you CAN simply copy the songs from the itunes music folder on your computer onto your Player BUT…
Songs you imported from CD will be MP3 (are OK) but if you used AAC (apple use this which is the audio encoding format from MPEG4 or m4A) then you need to convert them to MP3 as Sony can only play MP3 or ATRAC format.
Songs you purchased from itunes come in 2 types protected where you have no hope they can only be played on an Authorised machine or its ipod.
itunes + songs are M4a format and are unrestricted but not sure if the others can play the m4A format.
for the AAC (from CD) and m4A formats songs you will have to select them in itunes and then from advanced menu select convert to MP3 then you Can copy over the converted files.
versiontracker is always a good place to start looking!
