How do I add my own selected pictures to my mp3:s? I am not using the Ericsson Disc2Phone - do I need to install that to connect pictures to my songs/albums/artists?

Thanks in advance!

Plug in the DCU-60 and connect the phone. When your phone comes up click mp3 and make a new folder. First the name of the artist. Then enter the folder and enter make a new folder naming the album. Click on that then drag the music file. When you go to your walkman and click artists the name of the artist will come up, then the album. When you click album the artists you have, will have their albums up. Acording to what you called the folders. This is the way I organise my walkman. Its virtualy flawlass and reliable unlike disc2phone always mucking every thing up. However to get the album picture I dont no. I think the phone may recognise the album and the picture may appear.

Thanks but it's only the 'picture thing' that is my problem/question.

On a side note: this phone has been behaving a lot better than my previous W800i when it comes to music transfer. I would often get the blue screen saying that something was wrong with my transfers.

This ones a long shot but... have you tried dropping in an album cover from google images (or some other source) into the same album folder as the song. It might come up that way.

I use iTunes to add artwork to my mp3's then transfer to phone thru USB. I believe you can also use Windows Media Player to do the same thing.
