Chapter 4. Music

The Droid 2 does a great job of playing and managing music, so much so that you may no longer feel the need to carry around another music player. It includes an excellent built-in music player and manager, and a 3.5 mm headset stereo jack that you can connect to headphones or external speakers. Read this chapter and get ready to plug in and turn up the volume.

Before you play music, of course, you first need to get it onto your Droid 2. The best way to do that is to transfer music from your PC or Mac to your Droid 2 using Windows Media Player. For details about how to do that, turn to Chapter 12.

You can also buy or download music via Droid 2 apps, such as the Amazon MP3 app that comes with the Droid 2. Tap the Amazon MP3 icon from the Application Tray to run the app. You’ll need to have an Amazon account to pay for and download music, so set one up first if you want to use the app.
