[Q] How to get content onto A7

---

As you cannot mount the A7 as a device via USB - and therefore cannot use an app like DoubleTwist to sync/move content from PC/Mac to the A7 - how do you get content onto A7?

And if the answer is USB thumb drive, where (and how) do you move music, movies etc to be played from micro SD card?

Many thanks for any advice!

i use andftp for most of my content transfer. if you're syncing b/w pc/mac/android i'd recommend something like dropbox. if you're using usb flash drive, use OI File Manager (or Astro or any other file manager) to transfer from flash drive to internal memory or sd card. usb is mounted as something like /sdcard/usb-disk0 and sd is mounted like /sdcard/sdcard-disk0. on my galaxy s, it's mounted as /sdcard/sd so that mount for the sd card can be confusing. as for double twist, i haven't used it, so i'm not sure where you would place those files.

Go to the market try websharing. This app allows you to access the A7 through your local wireless network to browse and transfer files using port 2112. So install the app, start the app then open your web browser on your PC and type the A7 IP address as such: http://XX.XX.XX.XX:2112

I appreciate the replies. Not knowing anything about Android - as we are an Apple shop - how does the music player 'know' to play content from the micro SD card?

And - where do you copy music, movies to on the microSD?

Many thanks

Thank you for your reply - DoubleTwist is a free of charge almost 100% clone of iTunes

So if i've got this right i just move the files from the usb drive to the sd card? do i need to make a named folder or is that automaticly done?
