Yes, yes, yes!! After the expenditure of a good deal of blood, sweat and tears, I've managed to transfer some photos from my phone to my laptop via Bluetooth. The system works. It is slow, but I can live with that. Thank you Steven.

In an ideal world I would do the same but unfortunately my phone doesn't take an SD card. (Free hand-me-down Google Pixel from my stepson, can't complain...) However, Mrs P's Samsung does have an SD card and she is going to move everything across to it, then, as you say, plug it directly into the 'pooter.

Thanks for all the other ingenious solutions, but I've found something that works now so I'll stick with what I know.

Cheers,

I use Microsoft Phone Link app on the PC.  Can read / write texts, browse and copy photo's between devices and has an option for sharing any document on the phone with the PC.

Apologies if you've already considered this . . .

I use my Google account (other companies are available) to automatically receive any photos I take on my phone camera. I can then use the Google photos app on any computer to view the pictures, sort them into albums, create links for sending to people . . . If you're worried about using your data allowance on your phone, you can tell it to upload only using wifi.

It avoids the need to do any kind of device connections.

Most probably the only musician that the Beatles considered superior to themselves....


I remember seeing hime and the Boys life on a rainy day, They gave an open air concert in Switzerland. The Band before them played under a drizzle of rain. Then the Boys came on stage, and started to play.... and the sun broke through the clouds and sent its rays onto the stage.  ...What else?...
 

I rather like African music with a bit of a Western feel and am quite impressed with Mdou Moctar whose included in a few of my playlists.
Not so sure about this particular track though.

Wow! That's different. I really liked it. Thanks for posting it

That's a thought. I'll give it a go. Thanks.
