We will need that later.Ģ) Now you need to set up your CD Ripping settings. That is now where Winamp will keep its Media Library. Change the directory to the one you wish to use to store your stuff. Click "Media Library" on the left, and the "Watch Folders Tab". Right-click the main Winamp interface, click Options > Preferences. I use the same directory as Nokia Music Manager (My Documents\My Music\Nokia Music Manager) simply because if at some point in the future Nokia makes a music manager worth using all our files will be ready to use in that too. Run it.ġ) First thing we need to do is set up a directory to store our N80-ready files. I will assume you have installed Winamp Pro already. Also, if you want to use straight MP3 files on your N80, you can do that directly with no need to transcode. BTW I think you have to buy Winamp Pro, as opposed to using the free version, as only the pro version has access to the AAC transcoding features we will be using. The N80, like other Nokias, are very particular and peculiar in their tag reading, but this method will work. Now, Winamp isn't the only software available that can use this method (you can use Mediamonkey etc) but its the only software I've tried that can encode AAC files and tag them SO THE NOKIA CAN DISPLAY THE TAGS. The software we're going to be using is Winamp Pro. Using this method, you can use your Nokia N80 almost like an iPod, with all kinds of auto-playlist and auto-fill features. It may seem a bit complex at first glance, but you only need to set it up once and you're away. If, like me, you are frustrated beyond reason with the Nokia Music Manager included in PC Suite, then here is an alternative method.
