Download music to the phone -Samsung Galaxy Light

[babydoll11211]

So I bought a Bose Bluetooth headset to go with my phone, but cannot figure out how to get the CD I downloaded to my computer to my phone. Tried everything. When I hook up the phone to the computer it gives options for photos and videos but not music. So anyone out there can help me please? I know at one point some music came to my phone, but I thought it might have been Dropbox, but still cannot figure this out.

The phone doesn't show up as a media device on your computer?

Open device to view files. You should see "phone". If you have a microSD card, you'll also see card. The phone should have a folder for music. Put your music there. If you want to put it on your microSD card, open that instead, create a folder for music, and put it there. You can call it what you want, it doesn't matter.

I tried this with a 64GB card; found not all the music copied over (and this while the card was out of the phone and inserted into a card reader). I had to download XXCOPY for another purpose; I'm thinking of trying to XXCOPY the contents of the card (those that would read properly from the card to the computer, that is) back to the card; I'm also thinking of formatting the card in the phone first. That begs the question: The phone identifies an "emulated/[zero; for some reason, the zero character here looks just like a lower case O]"; some file managers (ES File Manager, for one) identify this as an SD card; but the computer says it's the phone as opposed to a card (the SD card shows up as a separate folder). If I were to format the SD card in the phone and try to reload it, would the phone read the card? Or would I have to try to reload the card while inserted into the phone?

emulated/0 is also mounted as /sdcard. That's internal storage but also acts as an "internal sd card" (a dreadful naming mess that's there historically for compatibility with some apps).

Just make sure you format the right thing, i.e. the 64GB card and not the internal storage.

If the card is formatted correctly it shouldn't matter what device did it. Not all files copying is odd though. Do you know the card is OK, e.g. It hasn't been recently bought from eBay (where many cards are fakes with far lower capacity than they claim, just hacked to report a higher capacity to the phone or computer)? We've seen that scam so often that I tend to think of it immediately when people talk about files not copying or disappearing.
