How Do I Download Music From My Computer to My Vcast Phone With Ubuntu?
There are many software programs that allow you to move music from your computer to an MP3 player, but not as many that permit moving music to your phone. If you have a V Cast phone, Verizon provides the V Cast Media Manager application for Ubuntu that allows you to move music, photos, videos and documents between your V Cast phone and your Ubuntu computer. The V Cast Media Manager has all of the drivers required for your computer to recognize your phone without any additional downloads.
