I used to have an iPhone with about 16GB of music on it, synced with my PC via iTunes. Nearly all of the music was sourced from a original music CDs, I'm old school!
I want to transfer this music from the PC to an Android tablet, the Hudl 2. I tried copying direct to a SD card in the tablet. I get errors saying that some of the music is in a format that can't be played on the tablet.
I tried Google Music, but that insists it can't copy my files as they have DRM, which is odd. I'm not keen on cloud storage anyway.
Any suggestions how to transfer and convert my music? Also, what is a good music app?
Hi, you can try TunesKit product to convert the music to other popular format at first. Go to their official website to download the free trial

how can i get the music in my itunes to properly play in my htc inspire. ? should i download an alternative music player or do i have to format my music

If the Music is in the Itunes format mpa? or something like that you can get an Itunes alternative software like http://www.getsharepod.com/ and rip the music off yer iphone back to Mp3.
The stock music player will play iTunes (AAC/m4a) files. Just copy the files directly to your SD card. The default directory is sdcard/media/audio/music.
My files are on the root directory of the SD card in a file called 'Music' and it had no problem finding them.
Sign up for googles music beta and upload your music then stream them on your phone and save your space on your sd card.

idk about that music beta it seems like a great idea but it takes forever in a day to U/L any music if your over 4gs I could be wrong.
Like some of the other post talk about double twist is good for that also their is a app called ISync seems like it will also do the trick..
For me I just save them to the Pc as Mp3s and drag n drop I hated using Itunes.
Google Music uploads from your PC/Mac, so it will use your home internet connection not your phone's. Your phone will just stream the music from Google's servers. Probably the easiest way I've found to "have" all of my iTunes music on my HTC.
WinAmp. Supports iPods and Android Phones... And all of Apple's formats.
In addition to mentioned above, there is an app by DoubleTwist that allows over the air syncing with iTunes and your music folders, if that is what you want. Just search doubleTwist in the market and the app should come up.
I have my music saved on a 32GB MicroSD card to play on my TF300. My issue is that I have more than 32GB of music on my computer and haven't found a good way to load and manage the music on my computer onto the MicroSD card.
I've tried Winamp but wasn't successful in easily choosing the music I wanted and had a hard time syncing to my tablet for some reason..
Any good apps or software out there to help me sync my music between my computer and SD card?
You could always copy/ paste what u want

I use Media Go to manage music on my devices. You can create custom lists and sync them with the device (even if it is a flash drive or a non-Sony device).
If you upload your music to Google Music, it has the option to sync/download to your device when you open the webpage player.
I am coming from a custom Ipod Classic, I have a huge library of music and now that my new phone (HTC 10) accepts big micro sd cards and 256gb cards are starting to come out I am looking to transition over to my phone as my main MP3 player.
I am looking for something that will let me easily mange my large library, I would like to be able to only view specific directories that I choose so other audio files that are on my phone that aren't part of my library aren't lumped into my collection.
Also while I have you, on my PC I use Itunes to play my music locally and obviously this is how I put songs on my Ipod, is there an alternative program I can use instead of Itunes now on a Windows PC to play my music and maybe even manage the music on my phone?
Hi, I have been a lifelong Apple user and recently decided to switch to Android as I pre-ordered the new Samsung Galaxy S10. I am wondering how I can transfer my iTunes Library to Android and have looked on the internet on how to do this.
However, most tutorials only show how you can transfer music which you bought in iTunes to Google Play Music. What I like to know is how I can transfer my music in iTunes (which I downloaded from Youtube in mp3 formats and then manually uploaded to iTunes) to an Android music app such as Musicolet. I like to have the same playlists as in my iTunes, and I have all the music files on my computer. Doing this manually would take ages as I have almost 4000 songs. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

The simplest way is just to copy .mp3 files and playlists directly into /mnt/sdcard/Music and any Android music player should be able to read these files
AirMore
Just look for the directy files of your downloaded music then use this app called AirMore to wirelessly transfer them on your Phone. Using this tool will allow you to selectively choose the files you wish to transfer from PC to your phone and vice versa.
You have all the mp3 files. You can literally connect the S10 to your computer, navigate to the file directory (like how you put a USB in a computer and see all the files), make a folder called music, and drag all the mp3 files to the folder. This is how i've always done it. Every samsung galaxy device has a preinstalled samsung music application, where it allows you to play music. It will automatically pick up all the mp3 files and you will be able to listen to it.
Hello,
The best and simple way is to transfer your music files from PC to Android. To do this you have to just copy iTunes music files to media folder and connect your PC to Android by using USB cable.
However, there are many other different methods which you can get in this article transfer iTunes music to Android phone.
Create a new folder on your desktop.
Copy the music files to transfer into the new folder.
Connect your Samsung to your computer with a USB cable. You may need to adjust your phone settings to transfer files via USB.
I haven't figured out how to change my username since I decided I like iPhone better than Android.
I want to copy my personal music collection onto my iPhone but when I tried to at the library by connecting the mp3 player and the iPhone to separate USB cables to the Windows computer, it wouldn't let me and later I found out from Apple that there is a restriction where you have to use iTunes. Because I don't have my own computer at home I was wondering if there are any alternatives, and someone at the Apple Store suggested that syncing the mp3s with iTunes may still not allow the playback of the mp3s if they weren't specifically purchased through Apple Music.
So what would be a good alternative way to transfer my music collection onto the iPhone? I tested a web-site in Google Chrome that is a YouTube to mp3 converter called "mp3 juices" that allows you to download audio from YouTube into mp3 files. It worked on iPhone and I was able to import mp3s into a music player app called the Audius Music Player. Since the Audius Music Player works in this way, I suppose I could copy all 12 GB of my music collection onto Google Drive and than download the songs one by one and than import them into the Audius Music Player app but I think this may be rather tedious to click to download on each individual song until I downloaded 12 GB of music. Also the free version of Audius Music Player says it has limits so I don't know if there would be a limitation on the amount of music that can be downloaded.
Would there be a way to save all the music album folders and files into one large zip file and unzip the music files onto the iPhone?
Another suggestion mentioned to me by someone is the VLC media player, but VLC on iPhone requires iTunes to sync the music into VLC media player and so I may want to get away from having to deal with iTunes.
Lol, I thought everything was easy on iPhones...
Try this.
Meh, I've used iPhones for work and I'll take my N10+'s over them any day.
DRM sucks... you are now part of the machine.

You have to use iTunes. Don't have a computer? Get one. IPhones don't behave like android, it's either iTunes or you don't. They are more locked down.
