The Nokia Ovi Suite can copy music from your computer onto your phone

It normally only requires a cheap memory card to turn many phones into capable music players. The Nokia Ovi Suite can be used to copy music from your computer onto your phone.

Start the Ovi software and then click on the third icon from the right. This looks like a CD case with a musical note on it. This will show all the music on your computer that Ovi has found including a section for recently added music.

You can switch between Artist and Album view by clicking on the icons at the top of the middle column.

To copy an album, just click and drag its large image from the right-hand side of the screen onto the phone. The Ovi Suite will now copy the music onto the phone.

When it has finished, it may be necessary to refresh the music library on the phone. For most Nokia phones, start the Music player, tap on the Options button and then Refresh.
