Help interfacing with Imac for music

I have had no luck trying to load music from my Imac. Any advice? Thanks.

take out the SD card, put it in a full size SD card adapter, plug THAT into your mac, copy the music to IT via drag and drop, then put it back in the phone.

if you want to move that music from sd to internal phone storage, use any file manager all from inside the phone to drag that folder over.


android phones mostly use the mp3 tag information to organize songs. itunes might totally ignore that info and use its own database, so when you THINK you have everything organized in itunes then you move the mp3 files into the phone and find the phone sees all the songs as gibberish, thats your problem.

I had to deal with that issue as well, had to re-tag a 12GB music library by hand.

oh and you should probably BE using mp3, not aac
