Ok. You can still do the same things with just the MP3 player, you don't need the music package. I think it sucks and it's just another way for verizon to get more money from you. I do not use it all. Don't use the MOD mode at all. Now that I looked into the matter a little, the driver I had to install was the LG USB Driver, not the music package. What are you trying to do? Just download MP3s and make ringers? By the way, V Cast Music does not play MP3s, only Audio files. So it really sucks. I went through this when I had my software upgraded and the phone was set to MOD mode. Of course, Verizon did not tell me how to set it back to MP3. They told me the phone will no longer recognize MP3 files!
