Long story short, I had an LG VX8300.I purchased it in September of 06. Today I got a new LG VX8300 at the Verizon store because my old one bit the dust. Anyway, on my old phone I had the MP3 player enabled and I loved how easy that made transferring music. On this phone when I attempt to enable the MP3 player under "Music Setting" it comes up and says "NOT AVAILABLE". So is there a workaround or anything like that to get the MP3 player back?

I recently upgraded to the 8300 and I didn't need to enable anything and MP3's work just fine from the mini card.
I get the 'Not Available' message too.
Have you even tried to put MP3's on your phone?

yeah same thing here. i looked at the secret menu by clicking 0000000, and it comes up as Not Available. I later tried to put an MP3 on the removable card, and it seemed to work. Although, before messing around with that menu and seeing that message, i was never able to upload MP3 Formated songs. Just throwing that out thier. so i sudgest that you should just try opening the card manually on the computer and draging the MP3's onto the card .

I was having all of the same troubles you are/were having until I renamed the .mp3 files to smaller names such as 123.mp3 and it now works fine and plays .mp3's in great quality.
You do not have to enable mp3's.. They are already enabled... Read on...
What you do is this:
1.) Put in your micro sd chip and format it. You can do this one of two ways. The first method is powering off your phone and putting in the micro sd chip then powering the phone on. This will format your chip. Or you can stick it in while the phone is on and go to: Menu > Settings & Tools > Memory > Card Memory > Options (right hand soft key) > Format Card.
2.) Take your micro SD chip out of your cell phone and plug it into your adapter, card reader, and finally into your USB slot on your computer.
3.) Rename your mp3's to small file sizes such as: 123.mp3 111.mp3 112.mp3 etc etc etc.
4.) Copy and paste them into the my_music directory on your micro sd chip.
5.) Insert the micro SD chip back into your cellphone.
5.) Hold the play button down on the front of your phone for 5 seconds. Or go to Menu > Get it Now > Get Tunes & Tones > My Music > Songs.
Voilla!
It seems the problem was being caused by the large mp3 filenames.[/b]
