Hi Alison.
She could consider purchasing an iStick and using that instead. A 16GB iStick can be had for £16.99 on Amazon at the moment. The accompanying app can be downloaded for free from the app store.
Effectively, it is a memory stick that has a standard USB at one end and a lightning at the other. A switch in the middle of the device exposes either of the ends depending on whether you are connecting to computer or an i device.
The app is accessible and allows you to browse the iStick contents, navigate around the folders and then has it’s own music player with fully accessible controls to play, pause, forward, rewind and play tracks in shuffle mode.
One word of warning is that the iStick player won’t remember it’s place so it’s no good for MP3 audiobooks unfortunately.
It’s not too bulky when inserted into an iPhone but it is an extra accessory to carry around.
Regards.
Kevin

*Subject:* [Bulk] [access-uk] copying files to an iPhone
My friend has recently acquired an iPhone. She doesn’t want to use Itunes to manage her music. She has asked how she might copy an mp3 file from her computer to her iPhone.
My thoughts were that she could do this via Dropbox. She has asked that if she uses this method, would it mean that she could only play the files when she had a WIFI connection? I’d think not as surely once she has accessed the file via Dropbox, it will be on her iPhone wouldn’t it?
