Syncing music (in fact, any file) has to be the easiest thing on Android:
1) plug in via USB
2) copy files
3) unplug
I do not want to install any software to do syncs, so this is the way I want it to be. What value could syncing software add? Not much except maybe if you have many duplicates in your music collection.
File system access via USB will work on any computer with a USB port.

- jrockway 15y agoIt's not a bad decision on Samsung's part, though. USB mass storage sucks because the computer and the phone can't use the storage at the same time. MTP is a standardized protocol for handling this sort of situation cleanly, and so it doesn't seem like a bad choice to use it. Also, it's hard to find ext3 drivers for Windows and OS X, so mass storage is rarely what users want anyway.
