   In order to play MP3s on your device, the following components are required:

   1. VZW MP3 capable phone
   2. MiniSD or T-Flash card
   3. Capability to transfer music from PC to a miniSD or T-Flash card

   
   Accessories required to use the MP3 player are sold separately. This includes a storage card that works with your device, such as a miniSD card, and a PC accessory to move the music files from your CDs or PC to the storage card.  At that point, the storage card can be inserted into your device and the MP3 player within the device can be used to playback your music.
