You can get them one of two ways. The first, you can sync them onto your card. It's not so bad for a few songs at a time, but, any more than that, and it could take forever and you run the risk of they sync process locking up.

The best way is with a card reader. If your computer doesn't have one, you can get them cheap at places like Best Buy or online at eBay. Once you have that, the computer can view the SD card like an additional drive and you can just drag and drop whatever you want onto it.

You could also use Card Export II. It allows your PC to see the SD card in your Treo as an external drive.

You're going to need a card if you're talking anything more than a handful of pictures. A card's a great investment and (in my opinion) a necessary one. Not only can you store pics, music, videos, you can also put different documents and even store/launch apps from there.

Awesome. Thanks for helping out a lost noob.

You know, I forgot about that. Probably because I don't use it....either that or old age.

I use it mainly for copying ringtones or a few mp3s. If I need to move a lot of data it's quicker to use a card reader.
<-- And I know what you mean about the old age thing...
