[Klug-general] Transferring Music To A Mobile Phone

[Andrew Spode Miller]

I don't think it's a case of removing choice - UMS only used to work before
when storage was on a separate partition and it would essentially unmount
the partition locally and make it available as MS so you could copy.

Now, most devices have everything on one disk - so a system like this makes
sense. I know you CAN get software to enable UMS again - but ONLY if you
have an external SD card.

What would be useful - and I'm sure I remember this being an option at some
point - is the ability to boot into recovery mode and mount the entire
phone as mass storage. Spend 20 minutes copying over and then reboot. I
could cope with that :)

One of the nice things about SFTP is that you don't have to have the phone
plugged in - so you can just start the copy going and still wander around
the house with the phone in your pocket :)
