There are two quick and easy ways of doing it - quicker and easier than Bluetooth FTP. One way is to use the supplied Nokia PC Suite : plug phone into USB cable, fire up PC Suite, select the "Transfer Music" application and away you go, or what I always did was to stick the memory card into my computers card reader, open it up, open the MUSIC folder that was on it, drag in all the music I wanted (lets say the aforementioned 300 tracks) and then stick the card back in the phone. Fire up the Music Player on the phone, and in the options menu, select "Update Library" (or something like that) and the phone would scan the music folder on the memory card, and add all the track info to the library. And provided all your ID3 tags are sorted (artist/album/track title) they would be organised there and then.

USB2 being FAR quicker than Bluetooth, and the library integration being SOOOOO much easier than opening 300 text messages and saving each track manually
