• Install the included iTunes desktop software.

• Connect the phone to your PC or MAC.

• Drag and drop up to 100 songs-pick the songs you want or let iTunes do it for you.

• Use the iTunes key on your phone to access your music.

• Shuffle songs or select song, artist or playlist-just like iTunes.

Album art accompanies the menu interface, allowing users to scroll through playlists and shuffle songs from the main menu.
