Is there a way to upload X amount of music?

[yatimameiji]

How can I upload, say 8GB of music only, such that I would still have space left. I have a Samsung Vibrant and don't want to fill up the internal 16GB, just half. So half of it will always be music that rotate out as I sync it.

Well the easiest way is to connect the phone via usb in Disk Drive mode, create a folder called Music on the card or internal storage, and drag your music from the computer to the card.

ummm yea I know of that, but that totally doesn't asnwer my question. Its not about getting music on my phone, there are many options for that. What I was wondering about is if there is a way to do so, but to limit it based on size(ie upload 8 or 10GB of music) so I still have free space for pics and videos.

Well if you only want 8gb of music on your card, only select 8gb of music and transfer that over.

Move files one by one in a FOR loop , adding the filesize for each up to the $max, then exit when you hit the $max. The extra is left in place for next time.

If on a *nix machine, check out this thread for ideas.
