Transfering music to Zumo?

[Urban Rider]

Anyone know how to transfer music from their PC onto the Zumo. I've recently tried it and the file is showing on the PC but not on the Zumo...Any ideas?

Have a look on the zumo forum the topic is covered in great depth

Transfering Music/MP3 to Zumo

How I do it is:-
1. Connect Zumo to PC
2. Right click on Start button and select Explore
3. 'F' is your Zumo & 'G' is the SD card if fitted
4. Select 'F' or 'G' and you will find other MP3 files
5. Drag & Drop them in
Hope this helps

Thanks Phil

I've done this and the music files are visible in the mp3 file. However, when i disconnect the zumo from the pc and check it I can only find the pre loaded music on the Zumo?

The files must be in *.mp3 format, NOT *.mpa or *.wav format. .mp3 is not a particularly compressed format.

Hope this helps.
