You can use these apps to sync to your itunes library.

Enjoy the phone. I could never go back to my iPhone now

Check out doubleTwist Player on Google Play! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doubleTwist.androidPlayer

Check out iSyncr for PC on Google Play! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrtstudio.iSyncr

I don't use iTunes and just copy my music over to my phone like a USB stick.

Of course, if you ripped from CDs directly into iTunes, you would be better off ripping them again into .mwa, so that you are not converting one lossy format into another.

You will also save a lot of space by not converting them to mp3s (generally make .wma at 1/2 to 2/3 of the bitrate of mp3 for the same audio quality).

if you didn't buy music from itunes then do this. open up itunes and then right click on whatever song(s) you want over to your android device. choose open in windows explorer. Drag to your music folder from you phones and it'll copy everything from itunes over to your android. All songs are tagged with info so you can see album cover and all.

If you want you can just plug it in and transfer the files using windows explorer. It's very simple but some folks prefer to use an interface of some sort. In that case like Blue said use Doubletwist or isyncr. Good luck dude!

beware, however the plug and play mode, it's a bit unstable (IE It can work for a while then all of a sudden you can lose the "connection" or sometimes it doesnt find the device, and sometimes ive moved files from one folder to another on the phone and it's lost the files completely. Better use the USB utilitily in the network settings. Once connected you can drag and drop like normal.

or you can just drag and drop the music file you ripped just like usb drive... step you can follow chris198810 above. however, in my Win 7, i did not install any KIES, I just plug in wait for the device to install itself, and done, everytime i plug in, MTP pop up and the device icon located at bottom of My Computer.

yeah I haven't installed Kies either, in fact I'm not even sure what it is exactly.

Hank Hill · Mar 12, 2012

I installed keis to my computer. And still added my music the old fashioned USB way and all is well. Thanks guys
