Why do users always say what another device does that another doesn't before research the facts, the Droid X transfer by bluetooth without any issues, I transfer information this way all the time also. Have you considered user error not device?

All you have to do is open gallery and open or hold on image and select share from list and select bluetooth, at this point it will show you the list of paired devices and allow you to select the one you want to send it to. And some devices will ask you to verify the request by dropping status bar and authorize the connections.

This is usually because of a missing Bluetooth Peripheral Device Driver, download driver from Broadcom.com - Bluetooth Software Download should resolve the PC issue.

My issue us not from the "gallery" as pics n videos transfer just fine. music is the issue. I could be overlooking something but I do believe it is that it simply can't perform the task, along with a simple task or memo, without a 3rd party app.

Did I misunderstand what you were saying? I really do want things to work with this device.

The Droid 2 had issues transferring files via bluetooth, I haven't tried it on the Droid X, but with the D2 the app bluetooth file transfer, transferred all files with no problem.
