I currently own a bell ATRIX and was curious, if I purchase songs on iTunes can I just transfer them to my phone no questions ask?
You know you can get music for free, right?

Ya, I transfered all my old itouch music from to my phone and it works fine. The trick is finding where itunes saves your music

You can use an iTunes script to help automate the process. I use Itunesmywalkman I have certain music out of my library that I want on my Android, so I make a playlist in iTunes. Once I have itunesmywalkman installed, I plug in my android to my computer and it gives me the option to sync certain playlists from iTunes to my android, and it sorts all the music to nice folders just like itunes does. My iTunes library is on OSX 10.6, and I believe this script only works for the mac environment. But I'm guessing you can use something similar for PC.
Oh, and I don't think it works if you have DRM protected iTunes files (read, older .m4p files). But if you have the newer m4a files or mp3 files, there shouldn't be an issue.

hi, i'm migrating from a nokia phone
so far so good
my nokia had a decent media player, and since not all my mp3's had proper tags and i didn't want to mess with it too much, i just autocrected a playlist for each folder which was more than enough for me.
now on the vibrant, some files don't open (i assume aac/m4a's but that's ok), but most annoying, all the playlists are gone.
which format should i use, can they remain scattered or do i need to put them somewhere?
can anyone post an example of the format? i used windows media m3u on nokia...
thanks

I just discovered how to sync playlists with my vibrant tonight. You'll need to use MediaMonkey though. It's free and has a nice interface. Been using MediaMonkey since I had my Samsung MP3 Player with the slide out speakers.

How can I sync my iTunes playlists with my SGS2?
Try iSyncr

as far as i know, you can't do this, the itunes music or movies has DRM protection. you only can play them on apple products.

They stopped DRM'ing Music a long time back, their movies are still DRM'd.
There are a number of options for sync'ing with iTunes, search the forums here, others have detailed methods (I'm not an iTunes user, so can't really help).
To be honest I think the best advice is to break the shackles and just tag your collection properly. Then it'll work with everything that isn't Apple with simple sideloading, and still work with Apple via iTunes.
the best way is copy all your music tracks, copy and paste to SD card, done. there's not much you need to do, just drag and drop.
As someone else has said, you can use iSyncr if all you're interested in is syncing playlists. Another option (and one that I use) is Salling Media Sync, which lets you sync iTunes playlists, podcasts and photos.
I use missing sync to sync my music folder in mac to sgs2. Works great
So I use iTunes to aggregate all my music. I have been able to drag songs directly from iTunes to my HTC incredible without a problem since Ive had that phone.
I wanted to load music on my GT10.1 and once connected to the computer, I try to drag files from itunes to the music folder on the tab and it doesnt work. I have to find the files in windows explorer and drag them onto the tab.
And even then it has to convert the songs from Mp4 to mp3 format.
why is my 2 year old htc incredible able to do this but my brand new GT10.1 cannot.

iTunes = fail. Sorry, that doesn't help you but your real problem is not that you can't copy from itunes, it's that you use itunes. Use doubletwist or kies to transfer your music.

Forgot to mention, I also have a 120gb iPod. So I am not going to stop using iTunes. The majority of my music playing goes thru the iPod. But I do like to have some songs on my phone and tablet.
I've tried doubletwist. I don't like it.
Hi, just recently switch from IOS to android and loving it. The note is so wonderful. One question, how can I transfer all my music, playlist, play count from iTunes to my note. I have about 7 gigs of music on iTunes and have no clue how to transfer the file over. Please help!

Try double twist or isync on market. U ain't saving them play counts though
Easier way:
Go to itunes and consolidate files (search Google on howto)
Then go to that file directory on your computer (perhaps C: >iTunes>media>music)
COPY AND PASTE THE MUSIC TO THE MEDIA FOLDER OF YOUR ANDROID PHONE
Or if you have an external sd card (which I highly suggest you get) just copy and paste with no orginization
That's IT.
When you buy new music from itunes (which in practice it only makes sence to buy it from Google now) repeat this process!
NOTE: CONSOLIDATING YOUR MUSIC WILL ADD MEMORY TO YOUR COMPUTER. NOT A BIG DEAL WHATSOEVER BUT I THOUGHT ID TELL YOU.
P.s.: don't use doubletwist its a pain in the ass unless you want 2 programs doing the same thing
Playlists function the same way except you must copy the music first onto your phone. once that's complete you have to export the playlist from itunes
(Right click playlist>export>search>choose file directory [wherever your music/media is])

Go to music.Google.com.
You can open a Google music account for free and download " music manager". (It will give you this option when you register). It will automatically add your entire iTunes library to Google server and you can then listen to your music anywhere on the stream with Google play music app. Might take a while to upload everything depending on the size of your library. And you can set it to automatically upload any files you add to your iTunes library from this point forward. It works flawlessly.
A gamechanger.

I use iSyncr. I let it automatically sync to iTunes every night at 12. It also syncs playlists too.

You can go onto Samsung Kies, Then connect your device Scroll down and then there's an option for back ups find your itunes iPhone back up and Convert it
Sorry That I can't go indepth my Phone is rooted / new rom So I can't connect. x)
There are many options(almost too many), but your best bet is google music. My wife has an iPod and every time she gets a new song it automatically uploads with music manager. You can't go wrong with this option because you never have to worry about it again. If you have no need for your iTunes account anymore then you can start buying all your content from google from here on out. Another plus is no space is taken up on your sd.

OK, but...
Please correct me if I am wrong, but one big downside I see to Google Music is that you are streaming (and not syncing) all your music, correct?
I don't mind putting another copy of my library in Google Music, but it would be much more useful to me if it had some sort of iCloud/iTunes Match functionality where the local library on the phone was automatically updated when on WiFi, etc.
I have "unlimited" data, so I really don't care, but I never liked the notion of streaming my music. I would prefer to have it local.
If there is an option to sync within Google Music and not a 3rd-party app, I would really like to hear more.
Thanks!

It is absolutely that. A cloud service that stores all your media online. There is a way to make songs available offline on your phone, but I've never used it. I absolutely love it. Just download music manager to your PC or Mac and it will do the rest. Download the google music app to your phone(not a third party app) and all your iTunes songs will be there waiting for you.

Very nice to know. I assumed it did just that, but never tried. Thanks

Is there a setting that just automatically downloads all songs locally to the SD card though? I have tried manually making select songs available, but that isn't the point (for me). I want more automatic, iTunes-like syncing. If you have ever used iCloud or Match you would know what I am talking about.
I don't mind using iTunes to manage my media, I just want a way to sync all my devices (iOS and Android) and keep them in automatic sync. I don't mind downloading the song once, but I am not interested in streaming. I put 32 or 64GB SD cards in my devices because I want the content local at all times.
If anyone has a more automated workflow for that, I am very interested.
Thanks again!

I use tunesync because I buy my music from Amazon, but still use itunes to manage my old jokes and ipad.
I also have a central sound system connected to my netbook, so the iOS remote app comes in handy.
Tunesync lets you automatically upload songs purchased from your phone to iTunes, and maintains play counts in itunes as well.

Hi All,
Having moved over to an S3 from a iPhone... and leaving Apple forever... I'd like to get access to all my iTunes music. Don't care about playlists and stuff... just want the music.
Questions...
1. Is there a way of getting all the music out of iTunes and into another desktop replacement for iTunes?
2. Obviously I ultimately want to get all my music onto my S3... so bearing that in mind, what the best way of integrating my phone with a desktop music player?
Ultimately I want to completely uninstall iTunes and remove Apple from my life totally!!!
Many Thanks for your advice
Either find you itunes folder and place on device or upload to Google music And store it in da cloud

I should have said, I'm in the UK... and Google Music doesn't work here. So not an option.
There must a good way of transferring all my music from iTunes to a different desktop player which will integrate with an Android device?
Many Thanks

if you use a pc than you can use the windows media player to synchronize your phone with your local music library. since the galaxy s3 mounts as mtp device media player will recognize it when plugged in (while media player being open) and ask you if you want to sync your stuff onto it.
another method would be installing samsung kies onto your system. i think it can sync your media files to the phone as well.
if u want cable usb tranfer
winamp is ur best bet, its a bit buggy but it works.
if u want wireless tranfers. u now have 50gb+ on dropbox, buy dropsync from store.
it amazing. it only syncs what u need, do it over wifi, to save money.
Samsung Easy Phone Sync
I think this is what you're after
http://easyphonesync.com/
There is a desktop & phone app that does exactly what you need.
Recommended by Samsung when they released the S3 as a way of getting people off iphones when their main reason for not switching was "all my songs are in itunes"
I used it myself, worked perfect although depending on how much stuff yo have you may need an extra mem card:silly:
:good:

If your on windows then open the music folder and click folder properties and unhide all files. After you done that a folder called iTunes media will appear, Click it and all your songs are there.
If you're on mac then in the search preferences click unhide all files and click it, after that go to your music folder and find the iTunes media folder and drag all the music into your s3..
i use the app iSyncr from Google Play Store, it lets u sync your Playlists, albums, last played it also supports ratings and play counts.
there's also a wifi sync support.
Their is a thread possibly a sticky for moving from ITunes but it might be in SGS2 forum .
