MP3 mobile to mobile or PC to mobile

As per title is it possible to send an MP3 file either from mobile to mobile or PC to mobile?
Have tried MP3tunes but without sucess :(

  • In general, yes, it's just a file.

    I guess it is not a smartphone as I doubt you would be asking.

    If the two phones have bluetooth then pair them and send the file.

    If there is some kind of "rights control" on the music the problem is more complex.

    It is a smartphone and its an mp3 music track so to big to send as an attatchment and I don't want to email it or use bluetooth.

    In that case something like Dropbox would be your best bet. Dropbox is essentially a folder on your PC that will synchronise with your phone. So if you drop the mp3 file into the folder on your PC then when you next connect to the internet on your phone it will synchronise. It's best to set it up to only work on WIFI or you will eat through your 3G data allowance pretty quickly. You can also share certain folders with others so you could allow another phone to have access to the folder.
