What is the fastest way to transfer files (specifically music files) from a Mac to the W800? If you use Bluetooth, do you have to transfer each file one by one? I imagine this would take forever! Or, is there a cable that connects the Mac to the W800 which would allow faster file transfers?

Sorry if this topic has alredy been covered. I searched the forum for 30 minutes and couldn't find any related questions.

Thanks!!

If you've got USB 2.0 on your Mac, then the supplied USB cable is the fastest way.

I'm not sure about USB 1.1 speeds but Bluetooth transfers are around 45kb/sec.

Have you had a look at Dreamsicle?

BTW, there is a dedicated Mac thread here:

Thanks Jools, appreciate the advice. That Dreamsicle program looks pretty sweet. I might have to shell out the $11.95 download fee unless you can get it for free elsewhere?
