I have neither MacOs nor Windows, just a Linux system. How do I transfer music to my Versa from my Linux computer?

@TiSfido Welcome! Thanks for being part of our Community!  Currently only Windows 10 and Mac OS's are supported for music transfer so officially you won't be able to do this on a Linux system. Still you could try using a Windows environment emulator like Wine or use a Virtual Machine within Linux to actually run the Windows OS as you can check in this article@USAF-Larry does run and know a lot about Linux so maybe he can help us with this question?

 

Let me know how it goes!

I fear a very steep learning curve for me! I just bought a Versa and hoped to transfer some music to it.

All music is on my Android phone (huge SD card). It's also backed up to a Linux computer - not that I really know what I'm doing with Linux but it's all the old computer's limited memory can take.

Please keep me posted on solutions that mean I can transfer from Android to Versa 'cause I'm stuck until then

Looks like there's been no improvement in the last nine months.

 

I wish I'd known all of the limitations of the Versa before purchase. Shame on me. Smiley Sad

This is exactly what I am missing! My phone is being repaired. I want to sync some podcasts from Linux to my Versa. Smiley Sad

 

We need this option, or the possibility to write a little script ourselves. Please vote on this feature request.
