I'd like to give my wife a MicroSD card with some music and video she wants.
What formats and folders are used? I've done some searching and I think audio goes in a folder called my_music in .wma format. I'd guess that videos would go into something like my_videos maybe in 3gp format.
I just looked at the manual and it says both .mp3 and .wma format are okay and go in a folder merely named "Music". It doesn't say anything about video...

You can make a new folder if you want and put your videos in there.

I ended up just telling her what it is I was going to do. So, I just did it and here's how it goes.
Audio can be in mp3 format. Video can be in 3gp format. I haven't tried other formats.
Audio goes in the folder named "audio" in the card's root directory.
Video goes in the folder named "video" in the card's "DCIM" folder which is in the root directory.
So, if the card shows up as G:\ on your computer, the paths would look like this:
G:\audio\song1.mp3
G:\DCIM\video\video1.3gp
Also, the filenames can't be too long. Here's a filename that failed:
"Faerie Tale Theatres sleeping beauty 2 of 6-LFkp6X68zJA.3gp"
There's way too much useless information out there. Why does everyone want to use their phone as a SD card drive? Most modern computers come with SD slots in them, and USB SD drives are generally under ten bucks. I think I'm going to put together a page with condensed information for people who already know what they're doing -- just file locations and formats for different phones.
