As a general rule, music doesn't convert itself unless you are using something like Itunes. So if you put it on your PC, then it should still be .mp3. You can find out by going to one of the files, hitting your right context key, and selecting properties. From there you will be able to see what type of format the file is. -----Original Message----- From: icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lou Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 4:20 PM To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: music and icon Hi, I have done all those things. I don't know but I think when I put them on my pc they were converted to something other than mp3. Could this be the case do you all think? I am going to put the software on another pc and see if I can put them on my icon from it. Will let you all know soon.

Then select the Songs, which is 1. After you do that, press the Options menu (the middle key) and either down arrow to Update music Catalog, which is also number 5.

What is this update you are talking about? You don't just put the songs on and they are put in the right place? I have the Braille plus.

When you say they don't show up on the icon, do you mean they don't show up in the library or in file manager? I don't have an icon and don't remember exactly what they call this process, but you have to update the library. That is a function you have to initiate on the icon through the menus after copying the files.
