Oof. May I ask which audio format it was? Or was it different for different phones?

every phone had a different format, i remember the Razr had a deprecated tool to convert .mp3 to a format it could read and limited it to like…30sec audio snippets?

Phones didn’t have UFS/USB storage like today. So usually you were using a proprietary cable and software to move files over.

That’s what I’m saying. “Additional fuckery” is really putting it mildly compared to what we all really had to go through.
