Help How to move audio from phone to SD

I put in a larger capacity SD card and successfully moved what was on the old 8GB card to the new 32. I tried to move the audio files from the internal to the SD but I'm having no luck with that. I tried it through my computer, and thought I'd moved them all from the MUSIC folder on the phone to the MUSIC folder on the SD card, but they either never got there or I'm just not seeing them. And...they still are showing as on the phone. I've done some searches to find specific ones, and they show up where they're supposed to be in the search, when I look on the computer, they are still where they are NOT supposed to be. Very strange. And moving them thru the phone is confusing, as they seem to be listed as individual tracks, and not by album. At least most of them are...very confusing. If I do try to move them from phone to SD and they are already on the SD (even tho I"m not seeing them...), will it tell me while I'm moving them that it's a duplicate, or will I wind up with two copies of the same thing? THe audio files are bringing me too close to the 16G on the phone, so I"ve gotta do something (other than getting a larger capacity phone),
 
One option is to do what I did with my zmax pro. It was close to the end of the road in RAM and I wanted more space so I formatted my sd card to turn it into internal storage. It wipes everything off of it and uses it as your phone's storage. I liked it also because I knew that my music would always be found. Another option is to go through read some threads on XDA Forums. Those guys are amazing and have answers for almost any Android thread you search for.
 
Hi, would it work if you copied the music to your computer desktop and then deleted from the phone, then copy them onto the SD card, that way they shouldn't show up on the phone and if there was a problem you would always have a copy on your desktop. Phil
