How to use V Cast Music Monitor

[admin_mvu]

USING V CAST^SM MUSIC MONITOR
V CAST Music Monitor runs on your computer and monitors removable media devices to ensure that the music files copied to the media can be correctly recognized and played by the V CAST Music player on your Verizon Wireless phone. It notifies you when an incompatible music filename has been detected and recommends an alternate filename along with the ability to fix the filename with a single click.
For V CAST Music Monitor to function properly, your media (such as Trans Flash and Mini SD cards) must be accessible by your computer. One way to accomplish this is to insert the card into a local USB media reader/adapter.

I have been scouring the web for MONTHS trying to find this application. I have it on my old laptop, but cannot find the original exe.

It appears the existing Music Monitor at Verizon's site is a different app, and does not 'fix' the file names.

Can anyone point me to the original exe? I can't find it anywhere! Have been going out of my mind trying to find a way to easily fix these file names from my flashcard, without needing to plug it into my old laptop.
