How to use iTunes with an Android mobile

Android iTunes

You may have Android as your mobile operating system , but you love using iTunes . It is true that the Google platform is not fully compatible with the Apple service , but there are several ways we can transfer our entire music library from iTunes to the Californian platform without too much trouble. These are three different methods that will allow you to comfortably enjoy all the songs that you usually have on your iPad or iPhone also on your Android device . Pay attention.

ITunes to Android using Google Play Music

Google Play Music offers cloud storage for up to 50,000 songs, accessible from both your desktop and your phone, and best of all, it's compatible with iTunes . To synchronize the two systems, you will have to download Google Music Manager (or Google Play Music for Chrome ) on your computer, in addition to the Google Play Music application for the phone. Then open the program and access it with your Google account . Select the location of the music you want to upload (in this case iTunes ). Google Music Manager will start loading the music files it contains.

The desktop version will automatically sync with the Google Play Music app on the phone. When you open it click on My Library and you will see how your music begins to appear. Uploading large music collections may take some time, but since you don't have to have your phone physically connected to your computer, you can be doing other things while Music Manager does its work. Note that listening to your iTunes songs on Google Play Music will require you to have mobile data or WiFi connection activated, but it will save space on the device in the long run, one of the main problems of many users.

ITunes to Android using iSyncr

There are several dedicated apps on the Google Play Store for transferring iTunes music to Android device . Of all of them, one of the most worth using is iSyncr , perhaps because of its simplicity and efficiency. To get started, download the app on your phone from the Google app store . It will also be necessary to do the same on the computer. Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable , and then open the iSyncr desktop application . Now a window should automatically open asking you for the files you want to sync with the device. Select them and click Synchronize. iSyncr will then transfer your files from iTunes to your phone.

When the process is finished, click Finish . You will then be able to play the files on your chosen music player (the makers of iSyncr recommend using their own Rocket Player app ). It is also possible to transfer iTunes files over WiFi with iSyncr , as long as your phone and computer are connected to the Internet through the same network.

ITunes to Android via USB

If you don't want to depend on a third-party app to use iTunes with your Android phone , you can always manually transfer the files to the device. To do this, connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable . Open Windows Explorer and find the iTunes folder . Drag and drop it to your device's music folder to copy the files to your phone. The music will be visible on your chosen music player once the transfer is complete. This is a simple and easy method, but it is quite limited by the available internal storage capacity
