Q. Ok so I want to have an android media player similar to the samsung galaxy player. I was wondering if i could buy a prepaid android phone(which would be cheaper than the galaxy) and not activate it making it wifi only. I just want to be able to access the internet and buy apps. As long as it has a music player on board and i get a wifi signal would it work?f Thanks for any help.
A. Well it really depends on the phone itself, as has been stated, some phones won't work if there is no SIM. It will continue to show you an option to call 911. With the Galaxy S ( first generation, model T959D ) it will work, I know because I just tried it on mine, but other phones will work as well.
What you plan to do is a good idea in the sense that you can do whatever you would like without having to pay a monthly fee but you always have the option to do so later on. However, I think the only drawback would be the 911 emergency button that always shows on the locked screen, it would be a little embarrassing to have to explain that to the operator who answers the phone.
WHat is the easiest way for me to add music to my sd card?
Q. I have a samsung galaxy gio and I have itunes as well. I have music from youtube that i converted with the mp3 converter. Everytime I try to add music thru windows media player it says "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while syncing the file to the device." What does that mean since my sd card is brand new. I am just frustrated from not having any music on my phone
please help

A. Windows Media Player might only try to add /ID the galaxy gio and not the memory card.
Try to upload the songs onto the card, and then put it into the galaxy gio.
Also, make sure the card isn't locked - some have a tiny lock on/off switch.
What programs do other mp3 players use such as Zune or Android?
Q. For example, all Apple products use iTunes for their music and media. But what about a Zune player by Microsoft or a Samsung Galaxy phone or Android? I'm pretty sure they don't use iTunes because it's mainly for Apple. So what do those other phones or mp3 players use primarily for their songs or media? Because I know iTunes is the most popular one.
A. I do not know about the Zune, but Android phones and most other MP3 players don't need software. You just store your media in your Music or Video folder in Windows, where it is automatically sorted by album, artist, year and so forth and you just drag and drop your media into the player like you would a flash drive. That's it. Though I believe Winamp can be used to give more of a "syncing" option if you really want that for some reason. I used to have an iPod, and it was a pain, iTunes is slow, CPU-hogging and buggy.
