Is it a good phone?

I'm looking to buy a new one, has to be affordable as it would be PAYG. Does it let you listen to music that you've downloaded from file sharing sites like soulseek onto windows player? That's all I use it for and my current samsung galaxy europa doesn't so I have to use youtube which can be temperamental.

Also, I currently use the 3 £15 all you can eat thing but since I have no friends lol I don't really need it except for youtube use. What would be a cheaper and more effective use of my money and the best network to use?

all modern smart phones will play your MP3s without problems.

The Galaxy Europa allows you to play downloaded music just fine. In fact Samsumg phones used to be known for having the best built-in format support of any mobiles.

If you can't figure out how to use it, I would suggest you do that first instead of getting a new phone to do what your current one already does.

I've tried that enough already thanks. Went through the correct procedures and even sought help from both 3 and Samsung customer services, neither of whom could help.

So I'd appreciate actually useful comments from Nokia 520 owners rather than advice on how to use an inadequate three year old mobile.

If you've downloaded the MP3s onto a PC, you can simply copy them over to your phone via Windows Explorer (on your PC). Personally, I resist all attempts by music 'organisers' to take control over my files.
