Websharing App

[ebc1973]

I bought the full version of the Websharing app on the Marketplace. I have a HTC Evo 4G, rooted. The app gives very little documentation on how to use it. I know how to do batch downloads from the phone. But what I want to know is, is there any way possible to do batch uploads from the computer to the phone? I have a ton of MP3s I want to put on my phone, and I don't want to upload them one by one. And I have trouble connecting via USB, so that option is out. Any help is always appreciated.

Forget it. You don't have "a ton" of storage space on your phone. So you cannot store your MP3s there.

But what you can do is install AudioGalaxy on both your phone and your PC, and stream your media to your phone.

Of course when you stream via mobile phone connections, instead of WiFi, it will eat up your monthly data plan very fast!

I bought a 32 gig SD card, so I was just going to put about 10 gigs worth of songs on it. It would take forever to upload 10 gigs worth of MP3s individually, so I was hoping for a batch process to help me.

Well, you can install Minus, get 11GB in a virtual pendrive shared on both your phone and your PC. Drop those 10GB of media files in it on your PC and prepare for a looong wait while it's uploading. Then for another looong wait while it's downloading to your phone.
And an astronomical phone bill.

No, really: streaming is your only viable, affordable, option, afaics.
And affordable only if you limit it to when you're on WiFi.

However, a virtual pendrive like Minus (on your PC) is very convenient for sending (very) large and/or many files to others!

Thanks. I may take up that suggestion. It may not be feasible for my use, as I use my phone as an MP3 player in my car. I just use a mini-cable to go between my phone and my car stereo. And as you know, Wi-Fi is not available when you cruise down the highway. For my purposes, I am going to need to keep the files local. But I really appreciate your help and suggestions. I will probably just pull the SD card and stick it in the card reader. As of late, I get "please insert a disk" messages when I try to use my EVO as a hard drive. Again, thanks a ton for the information!
