I sync every night, so whenever i add new tunes, they are ready for me tomorrow. I was going to suggest the same technique above as the last comment, for transferring music to your n95 via itunes.

NOW drag songs into the new playlist, and they will be transferred to your N95 next time you sync. Once new songs are on the N95, you need to "refresh libary" (or somesuch) within the media player, to update its playlist.

I also browse my laptop and copy the files over via Wifi, through the router or even an ad-hoc Wifi network. Hope this helps :) I’ve just been plugging the memory card into my card reader, that works quite nicely.

The reason is that there is no folders on the phone. In iTunes click on the phone in the right hand side and click add folder, you can then drag tracks into this folder. i think you cal also drag a playlist to the phone as well. This also works similarly in iPhoto too. When using Nokia Media Manager in iTunes I could not drag tracks to the phone either, and it drove me up the wall.

Though we should all push for more open-data so this issue doesn't stay forever. @thilo - yeah, I saw the twibble API and would like to incorporate into Mapufacture. However, it would be nice if the twibble mobile app included this so I can see when people are twittering (or twibbling) near me. @emptyset - that's just my point (and I'm on a mac, so I don't need Cygwin), but it's not easy @Mapperz - thanks for the info, this is the path that MaemoMapper uses.

You'll find that scp will work well enough to transfer files of various dimensions to and fro various strata. I think you should definitely try to install some GNU tools a la Cygwin onto the device.
