How do I get photos/music from my pc into my phone?

I thought it was using media manager which I downloaded to my computer desktop, but then when I try to download the "free" app to my phone it keeps asking me to "accept" or decline a $2.99 charge for 25MB of storage. WTF!

I'm sure I don't have to pay to get my photos and music from my computer into my phone, so how do I do it??

Thanks!

plug your phone up to the pc, change from 'charge only' to 'disk drive' from your status bar. if it the first time you will be asked to install drivers and afterwards you can open up both the internal and external memory on the phone thru My Computer (or you may get a pop up asking what you want to do with each). from there, you can copy/paste music from your pc to your phone or memory card.

Thank you sir!

Which drive should be used for what? I see an I-Drive and an J-Drive.

I saved some photos from an email attachment sent to my phone and I see those went to the I-Drive ... on the J Drive I see a folder called MEDIA so I dropped a file in there to test it and I see that is an SD card. Is each one for something specific? i.e. photos to the i-drive, video to the j-drive (sd card) or vice versa or doesn't it matter?

Also I dropped an music album into the MP3 folder on the I-Drive which is where a few random music albums that came with the player were located, but when I go to the MUSIC app on the droid, I only see the random albums, not the newly dropped album from my own collection.

I just want to also be clear, is there another "media manager" program that will make all this easier but not cost me a monthly fee, which I think is ridiculous?

Thanks for the help!

To transfer files from your computer to your phone’s storage card, you need to set the phone’s storage card as a USB drive. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable, and then choose Disk drive from the on-screen menu that appears. The storage card is now mounted as a USB drive. Drag and drop the desired files to your PC to back them up.
