MP3 Loader

The MP3 Loader application was developed to be a small tool that provides functions to help the user transfer digital music files from a computer to his/her iDEN i870/580 and i880 phones.

In this process, the following procedures will be performed:  - The encoding type of the audio files will be checked. Only files supported by the target mobile phone (encoded according to MP3 version MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-2.5, with Bit Rates (kbits/sec) of 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 and 320 ) will be transferred to the selected output folder. - If the file is encoded in WMA format, the file will be converted to MP3 before being transferred to the selected output folder. The original file will not be modified or deleted.  - Any other encoding formats will not be transferred to the selected output folder, and an error message will be displayed informing the user that it is not possible to transfer the file to the selected output folder.  - The name of the audio files will be checked. Only names supported by the target mobile phone (smaller or equal to 254 characters) will be transferred to the selected output folder. If the name violates any naming constraints, the user will be prompted to change the audio file’s name. The MP3 Loader Utility will make a suggestion of a valid name that the user may accept. - The metadata of the MP3 files will be converted from the local encoding schemes (WIN1255 for Hebrew, WIN1256 for Arabic, and WIN949 for Korean) to Unicode based on the Target Language setting. - The user will be able to edit the song title, artist name, album title and genre of the metadata contained in the MP3 files.
