Oh dear; this is going to be another short page, as the W315 doesn't support playing back music or videos. It's not that the W315 doesn't support these features (other versions of the W315 can play back music), but that Verizon decided to disable a lot of these features for the pre-paid version of this phone.
Accessing Music Software (0.0)
The only built-in music player is a simple application that can play back the sounds stored in the phone's memory. But this is pretty useless as you can't download any new sounds or songs to the phone.
Dedicated Music Controls (0.0)
There are no dedicated music controls.
Music Software Functionality and Organization (0.0)
There is no way to play back or organize music beyond the simple sound player.
Online Song Downloading (0.0)
Although Verizon offers their own online music downlaoding service called VCAST, this is not supported on their pre-paid phones.
Streaming (0.0)
There is no support for streaming audio on the W315.
Podcast Support (0.0)
You can't download podcasts to the W315, and you can't listen to them if you copied them from a PC. If you want to catch up on the latest adventures of the TWITs or listen to podcasts from the BBC, you'll need to use something else.
Music Sync with PC (0.0)
There is no way to synch music with a PC or a Mac.
Music Formats and DRM (0.0)
Unsurprisingly, the W315 doesn't work with any sort of copy protected music. Or any sort of non copy protected music either.
Music Interruption (0.0)
Seeing as the W315 doesn't play music, it's no surprise that incoming calls aren't a problem.
Video
Video Software Access (0.0)
The W315 can't play back videos.
Video Controls (5.0)
The W315 doesn't have any video controls.

Video Formats (0.0)
No video formats are supported.
Video DRM (0.0)
No DRM video formats are supported.
Video Playback Smoothness (0.0)
The W315 can't play back video, so it gets a 0 here.
