Hi Folks<br>
<br>
OK, who here uses an Android phone and regularly transfers music to it for listening?<br>
<br>
What do you use for this?<br>
<br>
When I plug the phone in to my laptop it sees it correctly in Thunar, then I choose SD Card and it reads the folders.<br>
<br>
I then copy from my ~/Music sub folder the Artist then paste into the Phone's SD Card Music folder.<br>
<br>
This used to take 20 seconds with UMS.<br>
<br>
Google has now removed UMS (USB Mass Storage) support from Android and it's now taking me 5 minutes to copy 1 album using the horrible MTP protocol.<br>
<br>
Also, copying photos from my mobile to my laptop takes just as long AND the filenames are all corrupted.<br>
<br>
Hope someone can help please.<br>
<br>
Disgruntled from Folkestone.<br>
<br>
PS: Ubuntu 12.04 running XFCE, Thunar File Manager, Android 4.2.2<br>
