I'd much rather avoid installing Zune on my Windows PC if I can easily avoid it, I simply want to dump MP3s on/off it.

It would be kind of nice if I could just use Windows Media Player... is there a neat way to make my phone (a 610 in my case) show up in Windows Explorer somehow?

    While [registry edits](http://nokiarevolution.com/2012/09/21/trick-how-to-enable-usb-mass-storage-mode-in-lumia-devices/) can help enable **mass storage mode**, the [USB Storage Enabler tool](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ln5U4.jpg) makes it [easy](http://nokiarevolution.com/tricks-and-tips/usb-storage-enabler-for-windows-phones-77-8/) (get the latest version [here](http://ultimate-networx.net/?page_id=258&lang=en)). Unfortunately looks like Zune needs to be installed for it to work. – Karan Mar 26 '13 at 20:18

You may wirelessly transfer/copy music files to your Windows Phone via a web browser using the current version of Music Drop. It's free and fast.

    You should provide at least brief summary of the contents of the link. Sooner or later that link will be broken, and after that this answer is pretty much useless. – Olli Feb 26 '14 at 20:19
