So you recently purchased a used Blackberry and now you are trying to figure out how to manage all the new applets that are on your phone. The most important feature you are wishing would work right now is the music downloads so you can listen to great hits as opposed to the chattering of people on the train. What can you do to stock hit music on your Blackberry?

Along with your Blackberry will come a CD called Desktop Media Manager, for installation on your computer. This program will allow you to easily manage your musical files and transfer them to and from your Blackberry whenever desired. All that's needed is a fire wire to connect your phone to your PC or laptop.

Are you looking to put full CDs or downloaded mp3s on your phone? This can be done rather easily. All you need to do is rip them to your computer's hard drive from the CD. Some computers don't come installed with the software to do this; others do. You may need to download a program to help you out. After you've got the mp3 files in your folder, all you need to do is open the Desktop Manager and move the folder from your computer to the phone's memory bank. You see, there's no complication whatsoever.

If you want to download music right to your used cell phones there are several subscription and per diem basis music sites on the Internet that you can join and download the songs directly to your phone from those sites. Blackberry Media Sync is an applet that will easily organize your iTunes and Windows Media files into a portable radio station that can play randomized lists or it will allow you to select the songs you want to hear all with the click of the phone.

Now that you have all this musical goodness on your used Blackberry, there will likely be some occasions where you'll want to crank up the volume for all to hear. To accomplish this you'll need to use something called the Blackberry Music Gateway. With this device and the proper 3.5mm connecting cable, you'll be able to hook your Blackberry up to a home sound system and play your music directly through the more powerful and robust system. This is certainly a great way to show off your musical tastes without lugging a zipper case of CD's everywhere.
