[Klug-general] Transferring Music To A Mobile Phone

[Karl Buckland]

Hi Paul,

I'm now using Google's Music library service:
https://play.google.com/music/listen

You can download their 'Music manager' (which runs fine in Ubuntu), you
tell it where your music is and it uploads the lot to Google. Then once
it's done, on your phone you can simply synchronise the music you want or
simply stream it over the net, wherever and whenever you are. They allow
you to upload a max of 20,000 tracks.

I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but it might be helpful
to know there is at least a completely different way.

Karl
