Look for Doubletwist in the Android Market.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Thank you Ann154!

 

Once I find that app, will it be easy to put my songs on my Droid X?  I'm sorry to be so dumb about this.  :smileysad:

One other quick question....

 

I was trying to view live/cnn.com and a box popped up on my Droid X and said I need to turn off my pop-up blocker to view that site.  How do I turn off my pop-up blocker?  

 

Thanks!!

If they are DMR protected the Droid X does not support those.  You can google a work around.

a free option (albeit with a few steps), is to download winamp, import your itunes library (it gives you the option when you set it up), then download the free winamp app from the android market. you can sync winamp desktop and winamp mobile over wifi or usb. all in all, it took me about 15 minutes to sync a 1 gb custom playlist to my phone.

Thanks for the info yodamuppet!!!

 

Was your music on iTunes?  Is winamp and Doubletwist the same thing?

 

I hope either of those will be easy to use since I am "technically" challenged!  lol

Thanks crb79!

 

I don't know what DMR protected means?  I'm sorry to be so dumb about stuff like this.

DMR should probably be DRM (Digital Rights Management)

Someone else will have to answer the how Doubletwist works. Itunes has always been banned from installation on my computers. I am read that others have has success with it. The application has been reviewed and suggested by several android sites that I read too.

Thank you Ann.

 

I will check out the Doubletwist app.  

 

Can you tell me how to turn off the pop-up blocker temporarily on my Droid X to allow CNN.com live streaming?  

 

Thanks!

You are right Ann, that's what I get for thinking about another thing while typing a response.  DMR = Designated Marksman rifle, DRM = Digital Rights Management. 

 

And no, winamp is not doubletwist.  I'd encourage you the original poster to google Droid X Itunes for ways to transfer the library as many effective ways cannot be discussed here.

Best way I found to do the  with as minimal intervention is use a App call ISyncr. Its a paid app but does what it claims to do

Thanks so much everyone for your great advice!!!!!

 

I used the Winamp application and it worked great!!!  Thanks so much to the poster that suggested it!!!  

It didn't upload my entire iTunes library but I'm guessing I need a larger GB card?

 

 

Here's another dumb question if ya'll don't mind.....

 

When I first turn on my Droid X, where it says "This phone belongs to......", how do I put my name there?

 

This is a GREAT forum with GREAT members!!!  Again, thank you all SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!

only problem with that app is, as per the description in the market, it doesn't remove the DMR from the songs, so there are songs that won't be able to be played.....I have mainly DMR songs so pointless to have an app unless there is way to make ALL the songs play on my droid x

Do you have an antivirus application on your phone? AVG? I would check there first.

Your iTunes folder is stored in  Computer-->User--> My Music

 

When you add your music to iTunes, copy everything to your iTunes folder and then take the entire iTunes folder and drag it to your SD card.
