Knowledge Base - How do I Play MP3 Files on my phone?

Your phone contains an audio player that can play .mp3 files. To play music on your phone, you must load the audio files onto a USB memory device (not sold with the phone). The phone reads the files from the device, so the device must remain inserted while playing the files.

 

NOTE Only MP3 music with no Digital Media Rights protection can be played on the CiscoSPA 525G/525G2 IP Phone.
