How to move music from a computer to Android without internet

No cloud, no sync service, no account. A cable, a card or a stick, and your files are on the phone in minutes.

1. USB cable (Windows)

  1. Connect the phone; on the phone choose File transfer in the USB notification.
  2. In File Explorer, open the phone and its Music folder.
  3. Drag your album folders in.

2. USB cable (Mac)

A typical Android phone uses MTP for USB file transfer; Finder does not provide general MTP browsing. Use a maintained, compatible MTP tool, the phone maker’s supported workflow, or a storage card/USB drive. Confirm the tool and device requirements before installing anything.

3. SD card or USB drive

Copy the music onto a microSD card or a USB-C stick on the computer, then insert it into the phone. In MP95, use Add music folder to include it.

Rare formats need one extra step

The Android media index may omit formats even when a player can decode them. In MP95, add the music folder explicitly, grant the requested access and check that the actual files are supported and complete. Index visibility and decoding capability are different checks.

Then play

MP95 has no network permission, so nothing it plays goes anywhere. The library shows albums as sleeves, remembers where you stopped, and supports local FLAC playback. USB output behaviour depends on the phone, app settings and DAC; Android 14 alone is not proof of bit-perfect output.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Google Play Music or YouTube Music for local files?

No. Use a compatible local-file player. The app must support the format and have access to the actual audio files; MP95’s Android app is free.

Try it on your own music

Free on Android. On Apple the cassette deck and turntable are free forever.
