How to Transfer Music From an SD Card to a Computer
By Bonnie Conrad
Secure digital (SD) cards and similar storage devices provide an excellent way to transfer a large quantity of information quickly. The storage capacity of these devices has soared in recent years. These days, SD cards with a capacity of between 2GB and 2TB
are available at reasonable prices. Transferring files back and forth between a computer and an SD card takes only a matter of minutes, but it is important to do correctly.
Step 1
Log on to your computer and locate a free USB port. Connect the flat end of your USB cable to the port on your computer and the square end to the card reader.
Step 2
Insert the SD card into the slot on the card reader. Right-click "My Computer" and locate the drive letter that corresponds to your card reader.
Step 3
Locate the music files you want to transfer to your computer. Highlight those files, right-click and choose "Copy" from the menu. Highlight the folder on your computer where you want to save those files, right-click and choose "Paste" from the menu. Your music files will now be transferred to your computer.
