Put iTunes Protected Songs Onto a Cell Phone

Have you ever wished you could take your favorite iTunes songs onto your cell phone? Well, with a Verizon cell phone, computer, and a music essentials kit, you can!

Steps

  1. Install the Cell phone drivers. These should be included on a disc in the recording program, from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
  2. Download the LAME mp3 converter from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3
  3. Once it is downloaded, unzip it to your desktop, or wherever you want it. When you export a sound/song as an mp3 from Audacity, it will ask you to locate the LAME file, so remember where you put it.
  4. Open up Audacity and iTunes. In Audacity, click the scroll bar that says 'Microphone' and switch it to 'Stereo mix.'
  5. In iTunes, click the song you want to get onto your cell phone.
  6. In Audacity, click record. Quickly Switch to iTunes and click play. Don't change the volume on iTunes or your computer while recording- it will show up on the recording.
  7. Wait until the song is finished, then click stop recording in Audacity, and THEN stop iTunes.
  8. Delete any unwanted silence or excess music in Audacity.
  9. Click the arrow on the little box that says 'Audio Track.'
  10. Scroll down and switch the sample format to 16-bit.
  11. Click file-export as mp3.
  12. Name the File what you want and save it in "My Music."
  13. Identify the location of the LAME encoder.
  14. Click OK.
  15. Repeat steps 5-15 for other songs you want.
  16. Open up the Music Manager.
  17. Import your song/songs.
  18. Add them to your Sync List.
  19. Connect your phone. Do this by connecting the cord first to your phone, then to your computer. The music manager should then recognize your phone.
  20. Sync the songs on your sync list to your phone.
  21. Disconnect your phone.
  22. Open up your vcast music.
  23. Enjoy listening to your new songs!

Tips

  • If you already have songs in MP3 or WMA format on your computer, instead of MPEG4 (iTunes) music files, you can directly import them to the Music Manager.
  • To make things easier, you can buy songs from the vcast music store, which also sells songs for 99cents each. They add the charge to your monthly phone bill.
  • If you already have a phone-computer connector cable for some reason, then you don't have to buy the music kit. You can just download the drivers and music manager from the internet.

Warnings

  • If you use this method to distribute or sell the iTunes songs for profit, it is illegal.
  • When downloading items from the internet, beware of viruses.; Only download from trusted sites

Things You'll Need

  • A Computer with Internet
  • A Verizon Wireless music essentials kit (phone-computer connector cord's cell phone driver and V cast music manager disc)
  • A V cast enabled cell phone
  • A Phone memory card (optional. Required if you want to put more than 10 songs on your phone.)
  • iTunes Songs
