Backing Up Your Downloaded Music Files
When you purchase and download a music file from the
Sprint Music Store, you get two versions of the song: one to
download and play on your phone (file type: AAC+), and
another to download from
http://musicstor e.sprint.c om and play
on your PC (file type: WMA). The AAC+ files downloaded to
your phone can only be played on your phone and on your
account, and once they have been downloaded, they cannot
be downloaded again without being repurchased.
Sprint recommends you back up your AAC+ music files to your
PC so you can access the files in case your microSD card is lost
or damaged, or if you install a new microSD card.
To back up your downloaded music files:
1. Connect your phone using a USB cable or the built-in
connection on Bluetooth-enabled phones.
2. Use your PC to navigate to the microSD card’s Music
folder.
3. Select and copy the music files to a folder on your PC’s
hard drive.
Note:
Although you can store AAC+ files on your PC, they
will only be playable on your phone and on your
account. If you copy the files to a new microSD card,
you will need to create a folder on the card called
“MUSIC” to be able to play the music files.
