That is the way I go but some folks don't want the data on their sd card exposed. I try keeping private info (medical, similar) in the phone's INTERNAL memory and the phone is password protected (but not encrypted). I try keeping generic stuff on the card - pictures, music, general documents and pdf files, videos. And I try making sure whatever is on the card is also copied to appropriate folders on my computer.

Exactly, this is the way to go.

And give thanks to thurask and jaydee.

Ensure you choose the right autoloader for your phone though and make a backup of your phone before you use the autoloader.

Choose the version with the highest number available for your model of phone and make sure you use a 10.3.1 version as any 10.3.2 OS versions are not as yet official releases.

Enjoy

Don't encrypt your card and back up regularly. End of story.

Wow.
I beg to differ with that advice. Unencrypted card makes the data on it free for anyone (a nosy person, or the police during a stop) to take a quick look at anything there before you have time to do anything about it.
Ok, I'll take the tin-foil hat off now. But it's just prudent to want to have at least a basic level of privacy, and having a password on your device and having the media card encrypted just seem like the responsible thing to do. You can create backups of the card even if it's encrypted.

Having a password and encrypted card should just be a basic precaution like not leaving your front door unlocked even if you live in a safe neighborhood. It doesn't matter if there's nothing "important" in your card, it's just about making sure your personal space is yours.

There is the "hassle" of decrypting the card before using an autoloader, but I have the phone do that while downloading the OS file.

jope,

Your reasons are sound. My tastes in music run mainly to the Classical. NSA can have at it!

I have nothing to hide at home or in my pants, but just don't need anyone that looks down my crotch or looks towards my front door to see what's there lol
I'm not saying that all ppl take pics or videos that should be private, but.... whateva lol

All in good fun, and I guess not what is practical/desirable for many here, but I really do think it's a good idea for me to encrypt the card.
