Music caching for Android
May 6, 2016 at 6:41 am

can't you pirate the mp3's (or lossless) off the net like everyone else and just dump to the memory card?
No God, No fear.

Suuure, but is it safe on Androids? I have no clue, don't judge me, but aren't Androids more prone to viruses? Also it's just seems much easier to have a music cacher with a good, simple design, fast and easy caching, so I'd rather download a music caching app if there is one.

Welcome to the wonderful world of NOT-FUCKING-APPLE
You don't need to "cache" anything. Just stop. Don't follow links. Don't download anything. The correct procedure is:
1) Plug Android device into Windows computer.
2) Open the Android device and put your .mp3 files into the "Music" folder.
3) Listen to your music
Important note: if you are attempting ANY other way of listening to music in 2016, please stop it. You're living life wrong.
Just an aside:
The sooner you learn to follow the above advice, the better your life will be.

Proof that AF needs a thumbs-down option. Why oh why would you try to teach an Apple user to use an Android device more like an Apple device-- when the point of moving to Android is to free yourself from all that synching, licensing, proprietary file-using bullshit?

He asked for a music caching app. I assume the man's an adult and knows what he wants.
I don't have any use for music caching, all my music is stored on my phone. I had no idea you couldn't do that on an iPhone. I haven't had one since the 1st gen.

1) Plug Android device into Windows computer.
2) Open the Android device and put your .mp3 files into the "Music" folder.
3) Listen to your music using either the buit-in player or any of a million high-quality players available for free on the Google Play store.
4) If you are attempting ANY other way of listening to music in 2016, please stop it. You're living life wrong.
I have to strongly disagree with 4). I store mp3 files on my own personal media server, the client allows me to stream or cache them according to my needs. I can't store even a fraction of my music on my phone, but I can swap in and out whatever I feel like listening to without having to be on the same continent of my Windows computer.

Heh. Maybe I misunderstood OP. Seeing the word "Apple" makes me instantly blood-raged. I thought it was an "I'm an Apple user, and I don't know what a file system is" posts.
My bad.
