Nokia 5230 - Music Player Connection Query

I bought a bluetooth connector and PC Suite works for everything on my 5230 except the music player doesn't see my phone as it says I need a cable. Can you only use a cable to transfer music and not bluetooth?

You can transfer through bluetooth, but I'm not sure how to if you use PC Suite. You can however just transfer via bluetooth file transfer without going through PC suite. The phone will receive them as bluetooth messages so be sure to set message memory to memory card. Also it would be very trouble some since you will have to separately save each song, unless you have the application called Bluetooth File Manager.

Re: Nokia 5230 - Music Player Connection Query

I am trying to transfer Nokia Music Store files so if I try the other way through bluetooth transmission it says I can't because of copyright laws. I haven't any files on my PC at the moment that aren't from the music store so I will have to try on another PC to see if other music files will transfer that way.

On this link on the Nokia website it doesn't mention bluetooth....

 

http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/5230/how-to/music/transfer-music-from-a-computer

 

Quoted: "With the Nokia Music PC software, you can transfer music to your device from your computer, and manage and organise your music files.

To manage your music in Nokia Music, do the following:

  1. Open the Nokia Music software on your PC, and register or sign in to Nokia Music Store.
  2. Connect your device to your PC with a compatible USB data cable.
  3. To select the connection mode on your device, select Media transfer."

Media transfer mode requires a cable AFAIK.
