Hi Guys

What you reckon is the best mode to transfer/store MP3's to N95?
1.Music player mode?
2.Data transfer mode?
3.Nokia music manager?

Cheers

I just normally do it in data transfer mode, using windows explorer. Seems a lot less hassle to me.

If there is a lot of stuff to transfer, I use the memory card reader on the lappy, because of the 2kb per hour data rates on the N95

I take the memory card out and use the card reader on my PC. As Steve says its a lot quicker.

I used the "data transfer" mode earlier,dint have any issues.But wanted to know what the general preference is and whether there is any differences between them.Am currently trying the "music player" mode and it sure does seem slow.

Data transfer for me too.

When doing it through data transfer, do you choose music folder in MC or sounds --> digital in MC?? I just noticed,transferring MP3 in music player mode stores MP3's in the music folder and as a result I couldnt select songs as ringtones.

Sounds>and in there i have a folder called 'Drag1'

Thats where i drop my music.

So what is the difference between putting music in Sounds folder rather than the Music one? just checking if I need to transfer stuff? ;-)

Personaly, I always use the USB mode to transfer music..don't see any advantages with other modes, especiall as Nokai music software does not transfer album art to the phone anyway...Only down side might be transferring playlists but even that I do not really care about...

I tend to use Data Transfer as well, but if you're feeling flash you can use Music Player mode and use Windows Media Player to do it.
