■Media player

With the media player you can download, view, and play compatible images, audio and video files, and animated images from a variety of sources.

The media player allows you to play streaming videos and streaming audio from a network server. Streaming functionality is a network service and requires network support. Check the availability of these services, pricing, and tariffs with your network operator or the service provider whose service you wish to use. Service providers will also give you instructions on how to use their services.

From the start screen, select Menu > Media > Media player and one of the following:

Online media—Connects to the operator’s network. This is a network service. Check with your service provider for pricing and information.

Open Gallery—Open the gallery. From the gallery, you can play stored audio and video files. See “Gallery (Menu 5)”, page 54.

Go to address—Enter the address of a mobile Internet service, and select OK.

■Music player

Your phone includes a music player for listening to music or other tracks in MP3 or AAC format. You can transfer files from a PC to your phone using USB, infrared, or a Bluetooth connection. To transfer music tracks from a compatible PC and manage the music tracks and track lists, see the instructions for the Nokia Audio Manager application in the Nokia PC Suite online help. See “USB data transfer”, page 88; “Transfer files using Windows Explorer”, page 89; “Infrared”, page 88; and “Bluetooth connectivity”, page 85 for more information on transferring music tracks to your phone.

Music files stored in the Music player folder are automatically detected and added to the default playlist. Music files stored elsewhere, such as in a MultiMediaCard folder, must be defined in the playlist before you can listen to them.

You can listen to the sound files through a compatible headset or the phone loudspeaker.

You can make or answer a call while using the music player. During a call, the playback is paused. When the call ends, the music player restarts.
