Text Rest of your article	> How to get music onto your new DoCoMo D701iWM Music Porter II with English Windows > I just bought a new DoCoMo D701iWM Music Porter II in Osaka and when I got home I found that the included software would not load on a non-Japanese version of windows and after doing soem research I found a sollution. Here's the story for anyone out there that has the same issue: > > One of the main selling points of this phone is that it allows USB transfer of music to a memory stick duo on the phone. The phone can then be used as a portable music player. The phone ships with software called BeatJam as well as several drivers. The beatjam software will only install on a Japanese OS and thus anyone with a foreign computer will be unable to transfer music to the phone. > > The manual does give a rough idea of the file format structure for the phone but does not provide sufficient detail to get music working on the phone as the .OMA file format requires various .DAT files to work properly. The software is required as the phone uses a sony file format called .OMA or ATRAC which can be difficult to create without the right software. > > I tried calling NTT but after about an hour of being on hold and being told to a) go to the DoCoMo shop and then to b) "use ITUNES" I was finally told to c) Call Mistubishi (the phone's manufacturer) which I couln't do because they don't have an english number. > > Anyway after googling for several hours it seemed that people using SONY MD players had had the same problem and that SONICSTAGE was the recommended sollution. Unfortunately when I tried to download Sonicstange from here (http://www.connect.com/download_cookie.html) I was give a page telling me that it's only availlable for people in the United States ahhhh!! > > So back to google until I found a link to the European version of SonicStage which I was able to install. http://support.sony-europe.com/DNA/s...ge_dl.asp?l=en Then after a few tweaks in the programs setup I was able to successfully setup and transfer to my phone. make sure you set the software to convert files to ATREC as I believe this is the only format supported by the phone. > > If anyway has any other sollutions that work better please let me know.
