Just got an LG VX-8300. Want to use it as an mp3 player.

Anyone know of any inexpensive headphones I can get that'll fit in the mini stereo jack? I just bought a 2GB microSD card for it.

im pretty sure u will need the v-cast music kit from verizon and verizon also sells a couple ssets of headphones u can use, including wireles if not then u can get an adaptor from radio shack and be able to plug in any universal headset.

Wait, so you mean I can't just copy music onto the microSD card and play it with my phone???

UGH WTF? What the hell is the point of having a memory slot if you can't use it? I wouldn't have bought one had I known. Are there any firmware hacks?

I have the VX8300 with Verizon. You can copy MP3's to the sd and the phone will work with them. They have to be in the proper directory and the length of the filename has some limitations. You may want to check at HowardForums for more info.

Thanks. I found out that I have the v03 firmware which has mp3 playback enabled by default.

Hey I have the 8300 also. It is a known issue that most headphones don't work with the mp3 mode on this phone. If you go to howard forums I think people only got 1 type of headphones to work with actually getting music to play through them. I forget the name of them, but they are bluetooth and cost >$50. Definitely read howardforums.com.

If you want some cheap stereo earbuds go back to your verizon store and get the Music Essentials kit for the LG 8100. Only $5 on clearance I think and atleast you get a decent pair of stereo earbuds
