I'm a converted iPhone/iTunes user. This is my first android phone. What's the easiest way to get my music out of iTunes onto my Galaxy?
Thanks.

If you just use google music and download the music manager, from there choose the file folder for your iTunes library and google music will upload it all. You can just use google music to stream only, or you can make it available offline and download the music

Or you can just copy and paste your music folder onto the phone.
Then there are also other sync options like DoubleTwist which is very similar to iTunes (don't use it myself but it's known to be like an iTunes for Android if you're into that sorta thing)
search for iSyncr in the Market

I just transfered my library like this, but the tags are all messed up. The tags are fine on my iDevices, just the Galaxy. Specifically the Albums are split up. They show up as different albums even though they have the same name.
Mine show up fine. Although I am pretty meticulous on editing my tags in iTunes. Could be that there are different entries for the Artist and Album Artist.
I just copied and pasted. The only thing lost from iTunes to the phone was album artwork. Which is slightly annoying but, something I can live with. I tried using kies to do it that was a mistake though.

I just switched over to CM7, and the same music folder is showing up fine. Maybe it was just the stock rom.

Yeah. I'd rather just use Windows explorer.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Yeah windows explorer is the best way to go. When I tired kies it was.to see if I would keep the artwork. None of the tags stayed at all. So I had to delete and use windows explorer again.

I made a playlist for my galaxy in iTunes then synced the playlist to Doubletwist. It copied the playlist over minus some artwork. I've got the artwork now. All is well.

I use iSyncr, the best app you can get to sync all of your iTunes playlist (every single one off them). I also came from an iPhone and at the beginning had difficulty finding an app that would provide all the functions itunes had from the music aspect.
Try it.

I see the downloaded playlist mp3's inter Android data folder, but they are all named in a numerical format? I can choose the HTC music player when I select one from the list, but it won't populate the HTC player with the info.
Any body have any ideas that would work?
Setting HTC music player as default will not work for me.

You would have to move the files to /sdcard/music or /sdcard2/music

I manually dumped a playlist on my computer just to test/play with Beats when I got the phone. It worked perfectly fine, but I did it on the PC side.

I created a music folder on the SD card then drag/dropped my music from the desktop to that folder. Works fine with no issues. I would think that playlists would be similar but I may be wrong. Where did your Google music come from, iTunes or stored?
Stored .
I just thought it would be an easy way to avoid having to store the music twice and still be able to get beats tuning.

Coming from the Iphone for many years, is there a way to use iTunes to sync music onto the Galaxy S3? I have all my music organized there so I hope I don't have to switch.
isyncr has been working well for me.

I used a program called Itunes agent...it should work as long as you can get the phone connected in USB hard drive mode. It creates a playlist in your itunes library with the device name and you drag the music you want into that playlist.

How does Isyncr work? The thing is that I don't want the complete itunes library on my phone, are you able to select?

I've got some songs in an album. But my favourite music player doesn't seem to be detecting them as all coming from the same album. So i've got 2 albums now...
I used id3fixer app and it fixed great an album for me, but not this one.
How can i fix this?

Do you want to fix this directly from your phone or PC? (i'll tell you what i use for both anyway ) I always change my ID3 tags on my lappy with mp3tag, works like a charm.
when i have had wry music tags on my phone, i've used iTag - music tag editor from the play store.
R: MP3 tags - hella annoying!

Is that the file name or the ID3 tag? Change both if you have to. For me i categorize my tunes with a bracket system, ie: (Albums) , (Dance) , (HipHop).
Also for me the actual file name is more important and most players will read that first if you tell it to.
R: MP3 tags - hella annoying!
I just discovered....all players using android libraries for playing music (double twist included) cant read that file not being associated with all others (vlc does read it thou)...')could that be why?

Ok I am totally at a loss. How do I get my iTunes music down to my HTC One?
I tried:
1) HTC Sync Manager - it crashes, restarts, and repeats so I uninstalled it
2) I installed Google Music and uploaded some songs there - not showing on device
3) I connected USB and tried dragging from iTunes to drive representing device - no dice
Why is it this hard?

Get the HTC sync manager from the HTC website. It will import from iTunes and sync to your phone. No annoying middleware to install on the phone like isyncr or anything.

HTC Sync was too slow. Windows Media player was too slow. iTunes obviously won't work.
I just went to my music folder and dragged my music to my phone.
I did not find sync manager slow at all. Could be the storage drive it is writing data to is slower at writing than mine... Who knows. Ymmv on this stuff regardless.

Convert your itunes songs to mp3s and drag them into a file, then put that file with your music onto your one.

Easy Phone Tunes. Been using it for 3 years now, easily syncs 1000+ songs neatly onto your phone.

I decided to just drag all my artist folders created by iTunes in to sdcard/music. Don't have to deal with large sync manager or any other software. So when u add music I just do the music in to automatically add to iTunes folder, then go to the media/music folder and drag the newly created artist folder on to my phone.

Ive heard doubletwist has a good app to transfer music. However I recommend ditching all that and just use Spotify and pay for premium. ^.^
go to my music folder , copy it to the phone:laugh:
I currently have all my music on my Ipod and want to transfer it to my Galaxy S2.
What is the easiest and worry free way of doing this?
Try using the double twist app. Download on android and on the pc/mac.

If its just on the ipod and not in itunes then you are going to need to get the music onto you pc first before you get it onto the android. Something like "SharePod" i think it was called will let you do that. There are others that will let you pull the music out of an ipod backup also, I had mixed success with that. One the music is out, put it in itunes and then use either DoubleTwist or iSyncr to get it onto the android.
