How to use the Micro-USB OTG cable to move a lot of music to my Note2 ?

[MareLuce]

I would love to move ~ 15 gb of music off of my laptop onto my Galaxy Note 2 before my next trip.

I watched the video in the sticky section, and eagerly ordered one of these:

Amazon.com: T & S Electronics Micro USB OTG Cable - Google Nexus 7, Xoom, Samsung Galaxy, Iconia A510, Toshiba Excite 305, & more. LIFETIME WARRANTY!: Electronics

If you successfully did this, how did you do it?

1) Move the music to an external hard drive first
2) Move the music to an SD card first, then plug in the reader via the OTG cable
3) another path?


After you plug it in and that works:

1) What exactly do you see on your Galaxy screen that let's enables you to move the music?

2) Where did you move it to? (does it matter?)

When I move my music I just plug in the cable that came in the box to my pc or laptop. From there I go in to my computer and there should be an icon for the phone. Click on this and open , I dont have an sd card so I just move my music to the music folder, if you haven't got one just make one. I aasume that if u have an sd card it will show up as a folder open that and just do the same. Hope this helps.

Why not just buy a 32G or 64G micro SD card and put all your music in it and plug it inside your Note II? Some of the other phones like the HTC or Google ones don't have SD card option, so they have to use the OTG cable to connect to an external storage device, but Samsung phones can just plug in SD cards.

Just as others recommend.

Use the cable that came with the phone. Installl a 64GB SDXC microSD in the phone.

I have best success using Win7 computer as source.
Connect the Note2 via USB to the Win7 PC, observe the USB Icon on the Note 2 , pull down to reveal a menu, read the prompt and select the mode that allows file transfer (not camera).
Win7 will automatically install drivers and seconds later you will see your phone in the
My Computer area. Drag your music to a Music folder on the SD Card

If you're using a PC/Windows laptop then it should automatically recognize your phone once you plug it into the USB slot. From there, you'd simply need to navigate to the music folder on your card (you can create one if there isn't one already on the card) and simply drag/drop all your music to the folder.

If you're using a Mac, stay the hell away from Kies as it's pure and utter crap. I used Android File Transfer and followed the same process as above. As it's USB it'll take some time for everything to transfer over so be patient. I tried using AirDroid to do this however, with large amounts of data, AirDroid doesn't seem to work as well for me for some reason.
