Nokia PC Suite have been optimized for transferring music
files. For information about transferring music with Nokia
Music Manager, see Nokia PC Suite user guide provided on
the CD-ROM with your Nokia N73.

The functionality of the music synchronization may vary
between different versions of the Windows Media Player
application. For more information, see the corresponding
Windows Media Player guides and helps.

manual synchronization, you can select the songs and
playlists that you want to move, copy, or remove.
