i listen to music a lot during the day, and i might be getting this phone. Question is how much battery will the phone take if i just use it for music during the day?(and of course texting and calls) it would be let down if i only got an hour out of the day of music and my battery is almost dead…

music doesn’t seem to drain it much. google sync is a killer. the apps that use gps drain alot. basically you don’t want too much stuff running in the background, if you can manage your apps w/taskiller correctly the battery life is acceptable. talking also uses alot, i think the talk time was tested around 4 1/2 hours by phonedog.

Ok, I am new to the Droid. I downloaded the IMusic, but then when i went to my music folder on my phone, it doesn’t look like yours. it also does not have the setting options that you have. did you download a different music player than what came with the phone?

@hjones7200, do you have to moto droid or the htc droid eris? cuz they run different operating systems, motorola droid runs android 2.0 while the eris is an older android version. that may be your problem

Access the music folder from your music player application, and make sure it is maximized, or in full screen mode so when you click the Eris’ Menu button it pulls the Menu from the application, not the phone.

I found the music player that came with the phone isn’t that good. I use the Mixzing Lite player, it’s free for download & almost as good as the Zune.

In MixZing Lite, once you click the widget and it goes full screen, click Menu, Settings, Select Music Folders.
