"MuVo TX FM is equipped with USB 2.0 that enables faster transfer of music or data files to and from your computer. MuVo TX FM comes with a built-in USB connector. Simply attach MuVo TX FM to any PC or notebook and drag-and-drop your files. No cables or installation software needed(3)." That seems promising. Thanks to everyone who replied.
