Gotta warn you up front, it's been awhile since I've used a stock phone or xp so I'm doing this from memory. If something here doesn't work or is confusing, just post a question.

Ok, here we go.

When u plug the phone into the cpu, your phone will have a notification. Check "use as a disk drive" (if not, pull down the notification bar). Then your cpu will have a pop-up asking if you want to import or whatever, just close that.

On your cpu, open up "my computer" and look for a new drive. It will likely be label E: or F:.

(If this doesn't work then there are 2 things to check: 1) on the phone, go menu>settings>applications>development and check "usb debugging". 2)make sure the proper driver is installed on your cpu. You might need to download and install HTC Sync to do that. Just google it for a source.)

Now, in "my computer" open up the drive that is your phone and navigate to the folder with your music in it. It should simply be "Music".

The rest is up to your preference in how you organize music on your cpu. But once you're in the music folder on your phone, you can copy/paste or drag and drop wherever you want.

hello, &how r u? this is kalking again...per ur wonderful instructions last time, i was wondering if u could help me w/a continuation of that same issue...? well, ur instructions worked wonders&so i've been able2move music saved on my fone2my computer (&burn on2cd's, as u kno)...however, oddly enough, my fone4some reason doesn't export songs which are older than 6mos. &i dunno why...in fact, songs older than 6 mos. don't even appear in that separate E disk drive on my computer at all. plus, like 10 minutes ago, i tried burning some of my newer songs (downloaded few days ago) on2a cd&only 3of the songs downloaded&the rest had an "!" in front of them&my computer said it encountered errors as it was downloading the rest of the songs or something.....do u kno what could mean? u think those un-burnable songs had viruses?? but that can't be cuz i have virus detector on my fone&it said all the files were clean. i'm so confused&sooooo NOT technologically savvy!! i just dunno why my fone picks&chooses which songs2send2my computer&which2keep on the fone...&why aren't some songs not burnable either when they don't have viruses on them? please help (once again, if u can)!!

All you have to do is take your sd out of phone put in a sd adaper.If have bought a extra sd card they come with one.put in card reader open music download folder and copy to new folder on desktop and there you go.
