D'oh!

I rememer having to do this on my Sansa C200 MP3 player (RIP),
except that I could leave it in MSC mode.  My latest MP3 player
defaults to MSC, so I believed that my fantasy was coming true
and we were getting free of all this MTP/PTP crap.  I should
have known better... <sigh>

Alas, I can find no menu setting on my phone to set it to
MSC mode.  However, I now recall being in a similar situation
with my wife's phone (same make and model), where I hacked
around it by putting in an SD card and telling the phone to
copy the files there; then I could remove the card and read
it on a computer without going to the time and trouble (and
expense!) of e-mailing the files from the phone.

Thanks for your help, folks.
