Hi, I am looking for a J2ME mp3 player for motorola v3i mobile phone, this phone come with itunes but limited only to 100 songs, so im looking for another media player supported by this phone, like the one motorola v360 have, so that I can play more than 100 songs.
Thanks.

Quick summary and practical routes (for , and others)
Two realistic approaches exist: use the phone's native music app (some RAZR V3i variants ship with Motorola's Digital Audio Player instead of the iTunes build), or run a third‑party J2ME MIDlet — but the MIDlet option only works when the phone actually exposes an MP3 decoder through the Java Mobile Media API (MMAPI). See the V3i variant notes and how Motorola packaged music software on those models. Motorola/press coverage and reviews · RAZR V3 wiki summary. (macworld.com)

How to check whether a MIDlet can play MP3s on your handset
Run a tiny MIDlet that queries the MMAPI properties; if the device reports MMAPI and lists an MP3/MPEG encoding you have a chance. Example check (very small):

String mmapi = System.getProperty("microedition.media.version");
String encs  = System.getProperty("audio.encodings"); // or "streamable.contents"
boolean mmapiAvailable = (mmapi != null);
boolean canPlayMp3 = (encs != null && encs.toLowerCase().indexOf("mpeg") != -1);

If mmapiAvailable is false, MIDlets cannot use MMAPI on that handset. The MMAPI spec and Java ME docs explain these properties and supported MIME types. JSR‑135 / MMAPI docs · MMAPI property notes. (docs.oracle.com)

If the device reports MP3 support

  • Search reputable archives for small MIDlets (GetJar/Softpedia/Archive.org historically hosted J2ME players). Test JAR/JAD in the Java ME SDK emulator before trying on the phone to avoid freezes.
  • Check the MIDlet manifest for required JSRs (MMAPI, FileConnection/JSR‑75 if the app reads SD card). If the MIDlet needs FileConnection it may require signing or explicit permissions on the handset. Use the emulator/Java ME SDK to confirm compatibility. (oracle.com)

If MMAPI/permissions block third‑party players
Use the phone's native player (or a firmware variant that includes Motorola's DAP) or copy MP3s to the microSD and play them with the built‑in app. Avoid unofficial firmware hacks unless experienced: there were community mods for the V3i that change limits, but those are risky and can brick a phone — proceed only after reading detailed guides and backups. [example coverage / cautionary notes]. (stuff.tv)

Short checklist

  • Identify your V3i build (Settings → About) to see which music app is installed.
  • Run the small MIDlet above to find microedition.media.version and audio.encodings.
  • If MP3 is exposed, test a small J2ME player in the emulator first; if not, use the native player or firmware options and avoid unsafe hacks.

This gives a reliable way to know whether a J2ME MP3 MIDlet will work and the safest next steps depending on the result.

I'm not familiar with red AIDS....is that an independant software or did it come from motorola? I'm kind of looking for a third-party software if possible, as I have a Samsung SCH-a950. I've tried the stock media player from a motorola, but couldn't find a copy of the right java libraries to use it (though I could load through the title screen, red bkgrnd silver moto symbol) when the interface started loading I got a java lib error....sorry, I'm not very familiar with java and I'm not exactly sure what the message was. I can try to re-generate my error if anyone is strong enough with java to help me out. I'm very familiar with the file structure of my phone and will be able to perform whatever actions I need to, but I'm not sure if this cross-over will be possible...even though both phones use J2ME.
Thanks for the post!

Google might help you with that (with a little initiative and correct spelling, anyway, both of which are probably more than you can handle, seemingly).
