Is there anyway to transfer my music to my N900 at a faster rate?
 

I have 16gb of music. When I tried transferring them to my Nokia N900 it says it would take about 3-4 hours. And so I was like "woah umm okay I'll just leave it over night" but as I'm letting it transfer it shows an error (this happens whenever I try to transfer something over 500mb or something similar) so how do I transfer music like the iPod's and stuff cause they're much faster at transferring.

Err.. are you using a USB1 port on your computer or transfering over WiFi? o.O

USB1. I even used Nokia Music Player or whatever it's called to transfer and it took FOREVER. So then I just went to My Computer opened the audio files and dragged them from My Music folder to the audio folder in the N900 and STILL it says 3-4 hours. I don't know why!

Mmm the N900 transfers music at decent rate over USB 2.0 but its a pain in the a** with USB 1.0, so i think that its your pc problem and not the N900

I've never had a problem with my laptop in over 3 years. I highly doubt it's the problem. I've done many transfers from my External HDD and iPod's and they work perfectly

put phone in USB mass storage mode, i can transfer 17-19MB per sec

dude wow thanks I never thought of that but that seems like the right answer. I usually use PC suite mode cause the N97 was pretty crappy when I was using it but that's a different story. thanks man

welcome to the club.....same problem here.....I cannot make the phone transfer with 2.0 speeds, although if you turn your phone off and plug it in it WILL transfer on 2.0.....winxp sp3 and still problems with the drivers and can`t fix it.If you try it on other PCs it might work with high speeds but everyones experience with this is different

okay never mind. it's transferring at 944kb/second. This is ridiculous and I have windows 7

I always faced these kind of issues and then I installed UBUNTU.

I have never had reason to complain since that day. I had XP before on a very well maintained 5 year old computer.

But looking closely at my usage I have decided that UBUNTU is the way ahead for me. I am no geek and don't do x-terminals. I am more than satisfied and can do my stuff using the GUI.

So in short use UBUNTU. The usual transfer rate I have seen here is 13mbps and on a computer as old as mine.

I think the slow Windows file transfer bug was fixed in Windows Vista, so any Vista with SP1 and Win 7 system shouldn't have that problem..

Re: Is there anyway to transfer my music to my N900 at a faster rate?
 

I always use my N900 in "Mass storage" mode.

When I'm in WinXP Windows let's me know that the N900 could work faster if I enabled "HiSpeed 2.0" mode. Unluckily there's no option anywhere for me to do this. Using the N900 on Ubuntu however is a different story. I'm transferring gigabytes within minutes. I really can't figure it out. Suffice to say, however that I do my file transfers in Ubuntu.:)

You need to plug in the n900 cable into different usb ports on your computer. All usb slots are not usb 2.0. You may have four usb slots but only two usb 2.0. Try different slots and then maybe blow the dust from the connectors to make sure it is firmly attached. Hope it helps.

put memory card into a card reader, that has always been much faster at moving files than using the cable, for me anyway
