My mobile phone is Sony Ericssson K800.
I have some music files on my computer which does not have the ending 'mp3'.
I transferred them to the mobile phone.
Some has the ending ' .ram ' .

How do I listen those songs?
I can listen to the music files if they have .mp3 ending.
I would like to read your comments

its not as simple as that. the files will need to be re-encoded to mp3

.ram files are not mp3 files. They are encoded in the Real Audio codec. You can use super (c) to convert them to mp3.

You must have the songs encoded in one of the K800 supporting formats... MP3, mp4, m4a, aac, aac+, real media, wav or etc... to listen them


P.S. You can use Media Coder to encode your music files in several formats...

Thanks everybody for the replies.
I don't work with Windows.
I work with Linux.
Do you know any software which converts to .mp3 in Linux?

I looked at Media Coder. It seems they strongly support Windows. They talk about Linux too. I could not download it.
