Message #17899
How to transfer music to the phone?
I just installed OTA 9 (finally! Bug #1538793) and thought it would be
fun to set a ringtone. I fired up the Music app and it says:
> No music found
>
> Connect your device to any computer and simply drag files to the Music
folder or insert removable media with music.
So... isn't that a bit optimistic? I think I have managed to get my
Macbook talking to my MX4 in the past using the command line and adb,
but that was not simple. Certainly when I plug my phone into my
computer no folders appear. What process is actually being described in
that message? As I understand it, mounting phones as normal volumes is
a thing that isn't done any more, instead there's a separate file
transfer protocol which of course requires dedicated software on the
computer end.
