Melody in Songwriting, by Jack Perricone.  It's the first thing I've seen that makes explicit all the things I was (usually) doing unconsciously.

Techniques for creating melodies
I'm following the steps provided here to root my Samsung Captivate (Galaxy-S).  I install the USB drivers in the link provided.  Whenever I connect my phone, I get the error There was a problem installing this hardware... SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface.  I do have USB Debug mode checked on my phone.

The googling I have done on this issue mention downloading the Android SDK, but I have heard no mention of needing this on the XDA developers forum or in any other conversation about rooting.  So, I wanted to ensure that downloading the Android SDK was necessary, or would even fix my problem before I bother installing it and its dependencies (Java JDK).  I'm running Windows XP.  

Note:  Although I'm running a 64-bit machine, I Installed the x86 Samsung Drivers since Windows XP is a 32-bit OS.  I hope that's right.
