  |  Best way to transfer MP3's from Windows to Edgy Ubuntu Okay well now that i have familiarized myself with Edgy im considering buying a 2nd hard drive to use strictly for Edgy. Im a big music fan to so i'd like to keep all my music and i dont have alot of CD's to burn and transfer by. so what i want to do is from the same computer that has 1 250 gig with lots of music on it im adding a second 120gig for ubuntu and i know that ubuntu has a different file system than Windows installs on i think its FAT32 for ubuntu and i know its NTFS for windows. i've tried in the past and it didnt work to well but then i didnt really understand what i was doing. so maybe things will be different for me now. SO what do you guys think i should do?

 | Re: Best way to transfer MP3's from Windows to Edgy Ubuntu It's ext3 for Ubuntu. You can copy the music files from the XP drive inside Ubuntu.

| Re: Best way to transfer MP3's from Windows to Edgy Ubuntu No. When I tried Ubuntu, I just clicked on the XP drive and it opens.

| Re: Best way to transfer MP3's from Windows to Edgy Ubuntu Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) When I used it, Ubuntu can see XP, but XP can't see Ubuntu drive without software.

| Re: Best way to transfer MP3's from Windows to Edgy Ubuntu VLC player. Ubuntu IMO was fun, but it lacked the XP necessities.

| Re: Best way to transfer MP3's from Windows to Edgy Ubuntu I do not think Edgy auto mounts NTFS drives. With 8.04 being out you really should update your Ubuntu install. Plus you can run your music right from the Windows drive and not even transfer it to Ubuntu. I never have. I use Amarok. Rythm Box is also good. VLC is alright. But i found that those 2 are much better. Plus this should be in the Linux area. Transfer of files amongst OS's is not hardware related.

| Re: Best way to transfer MP3's from Windows to Edgy Ubuntu 7.1 doesn't auto mount either, but I added something to mount on boot.
