Usually on most phones it is drag and drop to add music. But seeing as how I cannot mount this phone as a disk drive and it doesn't have an sd card I can't drag and drop music. Is was wondering if there is any way to do this without having to pay for Google music or something like that?

Why can't you mount your phone?
am I supposed to be able to? I mean I can plug it in but all it says is to sync my files and share pictures it doesn't say anything about mounting as a disk drive.

When you plug your phone into the computer, bring the notification bar down and select "media sync" (also, make sure it installs the proper drivers) then open my computer and you should see the device towards the bottom.
I don't think you need to but if that doesn't work, you may need to enable USB debugging in the developer menu.

Use a different USB port. Make sure you've selected media sync. Settings ! PC Connection ! Select USB connection method. Let the drivers load and install. You need to wait a minute. Your pc should now have an icon for the phone. You should be able to drag and drop to it.
Another option If you have a WiFi router is to use FTP and wirelessly move files without the usb cable. I use the following, but there are alternatives. Search the web for a wireless FTP client like Filezilla for the PC. Sideload the FTP server program called SwiFTP onto the phone (it's no longer in the PlayStore). Drag n drop over WiFi.
Another option I haven't tried but plan on soon...Again if you have a WiFi router is to try the share and connect feature on the phone... Settings ! Share and Connect ! Wireless Storage

That one confused me too. I don't want automatic sync between my phone and my computer but it sounds like "sync" in this case is manual.

Instead of dragging, copy and paste. Sometimes it works better. Are you able to locate to the phone in Explorer?

Just to check... Did you click double click on it to open it and then double click on internal storage?

Team viewer is a remote desktop program so I could temporarily control your computer.
Can you open the phone at all in Explorer? Try opening a picture, video, or music file.

Hmmm. That might be an issue. I might be able to try mine on my bosses Windows 8. In the meantime, Google and find Windows xp mode, see if you can so it from that

No you are not alone, I only use my G2 with Windows 8 computers and it works fine.
Open My computer > Click on your device name > Click Internal Storage > Click Music > Now drag and drop all your music here..
