Default [Q] How to upload music to S2

Hi,

I was wondering if there a program for the S2 which will allow me to sync my music in a simple manner? (ie Zune/iTues-esque)

Uhm... you can just drag and drop you know. Or are you talking about just connecting to your PC and it syncing automatically?

Assuming you have wifi in your house, turn on wifi on your phone and then go and turn on Kies air on your phone (it is in your app drawer)

kies air will give you a web address to browse to, like (http://192.168.1.10:8080) the numbers will vary depending on your home network.

All you have to do then is use your PC web browser (Internet Explorer/ Firefox /Chrome etc) to browse to the address given by kies, when you get there you can transfer all the pictures, video and music you want to and from your phone !

Yeah but you direct connect will be much faster than kies air. if he wants to put all his music on the phone, direct connection is much better.

Download DoubleTwist http://doubletwist.com/

The player for Android is great too but you can just use the desktop software to organise and sync your iTunes/Music library.

I can't argue with that, realistic speed over usb is 6 megabytes/sec (48 Mbit) where as over the air I would guess around half that although not tried it.

i use wifi explorer on my galaxy S. i can copy a 700mb video file onto the phone in about 30 seconds. on wifi it takes a couple minutes. if he's doing that with a few gigs of files... well yeeah lol.

Or I assume you can just use the Kies desktop client on your computer. You're going to need to install it if you want to root your phone anyway (for the drivers, unless something has changed)
