1. Transfer Music From Computer to Android with USB Cable

The most efficient way for transferring Music files from a computer to Android is by USB cable transfer. The transfer method is very straightforward but varies slightly depending on whether you use a PC or Mac.

USB Transfer with Windows PC

• Connect your Android to your Windows PC with a USB cable.
• A connection option will appear on your phone; select Transfer Files (MTP).
• Select the music files from your computer that you want to transfer.
• Drag or move the files into the Music folder of your Android phone.

USB Transfer with Windows Mac

• Install Android File Transfer on your Mac computer.
• Connect your Android to your Windows PC with a USB cable.
• A connection option will appear on your phone; select Transfer Files (MTP).
• Select the music files from your computer that you want to transfer.
• Move the files into the Music folder on your Android device through Android File Transfer.

2. Upload to Google Drive

Uploading your Music to Google Drive and then downloading it from there is also a great way to transfer music if you cannot transfer it via USB cable. For this, you need to follow the steps mentioned below:

• Open Google Drive Web 
• Click on New in the top left corner and select Upload file or folder, depending on what you want to transfer.

• Select the files and folders you want to upload and then press open to initiate the process of transferring files.
• Once the transfer is complete, open google drives on your android phone.

• Now open the music file and press on the three dots on the top of the screen, and select download. 

Note: Even though you can upload a folder on google drive when it comes to downloading, you can only do one file at a time. Hence, this method is inconvenient if you want to transfer many files.

3. Upload to Dropbox

If you don’t prefer using google drive, you can try using dropbox. Dropbox offers 2GBs of storage for free, which is more than enough to upload hundreds of Music files. Here are the steps you need to follow:

• Open Dropbox Web on your Computer.
• Click on Upload and select the files you want to transfer.

• After selecting the files, press Open to start uploading the files to dropbox.

• Once the files are uploaded, launch Dropbox on your Android.
• Select your file by taping on it and then press make available offline.

4. Wirelessly Transfer Using Airdroid

If the music you are transferring is less than 200 MBs and you don’t have a USB cable to transfer music directly to your phone, then the Airdroid file transfer app is here to the rescue as it allows you to transfer files from one device to the other wirelessly. Here are some simple steps you need to follow:

• Download the Airdroid app on your android phone from Google Play Store and make a new account or log in with your Google account.
• Once the account has been made, go to the Airdroid web page and log in to Airdroid on your computer.
• Now in the toolbox, select files; you can choose a folder or a file.

• After selecting the file, press open to start the transfer process, and the files will be transferred very soon.

• Now come back to the Airdroid app and go to Transfer on the lower left corner; from there, select Airdroid web. (You will find all your files there)
• Press your files, select save as, and transfer them to your music manager folder.

5. Send Music From Computer to Android With Bluetooth

If your computer has Bluetooth, you can use it to transfer files from your computer to Android. Just make sure that your computer operates on windows as the Bluetooth of mac isn’t compatible with Android devices:

• Turn on Bluetooth on both devices.

• Now go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > Add a Bluetooth device, and click on your device from the results displayed on the computer’s screen.

• Match the code given by the computer on your Android device.

• Select the music files on your computer and then transfer them to your Android device using Bluetooth.

6. Transfer Music From Computer to Android Using Email

Email is another great option for transferring files from a computer to an Android. The only problem is that we can only send up to 25 MB in attachments via Email, which means that if we have multiple files to transfer, we cannot transfer them in a single email.

Therefore, it is only logical to use Email if you only have a few files to transfer. Here are the steps for mailing music files from the computer to Android.

• Open the Email web on your computer and click on compose.
• Now select your Email in the recipient and click on the attachment icon.

• Now search for your file, and press open > send after selecting it.

• Now open the same email account on your phone, and after opening the mail, tap on the download icon to download music on your Android.

Conclusion

The methods for transferring music files from a computer to an Android are very simple but may vary depending on the number of files you want to transfer and the speed you want. 

The fastest method for transferring files is through cable, but if you want to transfer wirelessly, it’s best to go for google drive. However, no matter what method you choose from this article, it will get the job done.
