the k700 supports all major mobile files. amr ,imy, mp3 ,wav, 3gpp mp4 (video) you don't need any software to transfer the files to your phone just send them via ir or bluetooth to your phone and play. NOTE if your phone has vodafone live branded you will experience proplems with playback of some files. [addsig]

yes, put the files in the correct folder. video to video and sounds in the sounds folder so that the phone will find them. [addsig]

forget the transfer rate - you are limited to serial emulation over bluetooth - about 8KB/s on the K700 from memory. You are stuck with it.

As far as compression of audio goes, you should be using AAC compression not MP3. AAC will give you more compression for the same quality. So for example an AAC compressed to 96Kbps will have the same quality as an MP3 compressed to 128Kbps.

So get something like dbpoweramp (it and the aac codec are free) and convert your mp3's to AAC. (note you can also use itunes to encode AAC - they call it M4A, but there codec is not as good or as small as dbpoweramp)
