How to access Android File system from Windows 7 c

Question

When my Android device (Samsung galaxy s4) is connected to my laptop (Windows 7), I would like to be able to access files on the Android device from the Windows 7 command line. The commands :

cd Computer\GGS4\Phone

or

Computer\GGS4\Phone:

don’t work

FYI, the reason why I need this is to use mp3slpt from laptop to cut mp3 file on the Android device. Something like :

D:\temp> mp3splt Computer\GGS4\Podcast\program1.mp3  7.12 7.30 -d out -o  program1Extract

Answer 1

You can try to install a WebDAV server to the android device, then mount the WebDAV server as a drive on Windows 7, after mounting to a drive, you can access the drive (android folder) from the command line.
Here is a free WebDAV server from Google Play (Of course, there are many other WebDAV servers in Google Play)
And the steps to mount the WebDAV server as a drive on Windows 7

Answer 2

Newer Android devices (primarily) use MTP to communicate with USB hosts. Older devices were identified as mass storage devices. Win7 supports MTP but it doesn't "mount" the device as a drive and the device storage is therefore not available via a file path.

I think the best solution is to copy the file before passing it to mp3splt:

adb pull Podcast/program1.mp3
mp3splt program1.mp3 7.12 7.30 -d out -o program1Extract
del program1.mp3

You can also develop a Win7 driver that provides a virtual drive using MTP or run an FTP server on your device which you can then associate with a Windows drive (native Win7 example).

Answer 3

On your Android device: Settings->More Settings...->USB Utilities Press "Connect storage to PC" button and plug USB cable. Then press "Turn on USB Storage" and you will see new Drive Letter in My Computer assigned to your Phone.

Now you can run ur command:

D:\temp> mp3splt DRIVE_LETTER:\Podcast\program1.mp3 7.12 7.30 -d out -o program1Extract
