File Copier
 
OK, I'm not sure this is "tech support" but blah, whatever.

Does anyone know of a utility which enqueues files to be copied in a windows environment? And yes, Google is my friend, but nowt at the mo.

For example, I'm going through my MP3s to work out what to copy onto my MP3 player. I enter a directory, copy a file, go into a different directory, copy another file, etc. However, since this is over USB 1 (and a network) the files can take a while to copy, and so I'm copying three or four files at a time. Because of the seemingly dodgy way Windows handles multiple file transfers, this can take ages. (This is x99999 times worse when the files I'm transferring over are much larger than MP3s).

Isn't there a program where I can simply "enqeue" files when I go through my directories, and then do a mass transfer at the end? Kind of like an FTP client queue system like on CuteFTP, FlashFXP, et al.

Doesn't recent WMP do this? You can select files to copy, then it copies them to your mp3 player.

Possibly, but I meant in general (for file transfers). There are times when people bring their PCs to my home, and I have to copy gigs and gigs of porn/other questionable material onto my own PC, directory by directory. A queue system would be nice.

I'll try WMP though, although I've filled my MP3 player for tommorows journey to work now anyway.
