One of the more useful apps in Android is Airdroid. Copy a whole music folder across by WiFi with the cool web interface. On Apr 2, 2013 2:55 PM, "Jason White" <jason@jasonjgw.net> wrote:

b) Regardless of whether the shell is superior or not -- it still shouldn't be this hard to have a simple MTP transfer work from a GUI! Having work-arounds for unix hackers isn't a valid excuse for putting MTP functionality into an app and then ignoring bug reports for over three years. I know, I know, I didn't pay anything for the app and can't reasonably expect any minimum level of functionality. It's just frustrating that it seems like there's barely any improvement from year to year.
Then there are all the people who could have submitted a patch but didn't... so it seems that nobody cares enough to fix the bug. Maybe they're using something else instead.
I always manage my audio files from the shell and I'll probably continue to do so. A friend once searched hard for a good music organizing tool under Linux but found nothing suitable. Suppose you have a collection of symphonies, string quartets, piano sonatas etc. Each track is a separate file, but three or four tracks, typically, constitute the entire work. Or consider an opera - divided into acts, scenes etc., and you need to be able to select those. The problem is that (as of a few years ago, at least, and according to someone who searched) there's no tool that will recognize the appropriate hierarchical levels in a music collection. That's a rather fundamental design flaw.
