How do I sync my Android Phone with iTunes? (Simple and Free Solution!)
-
Before you start, consider upgrading the mini SD card in your Android to 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB, although not mandatory.
-
Attach the USB cable from PC to phone.
-
Mount the SD card on Windows XP. Your phones manual will explain how to do this.
-
Start iTunes. This approach assumes that your music is already in iTUNEs.
-
Click on “Music” under “LIBRARY”.
-
Click on the “View” menu to change to View “As List”. “View.As List”)
-
Click “Edit” and “Select all” to select all songs in iTUNEs. “Edit.Select All”.
-
Click “Edit” and “Copy” to copy all songs in iTUNEs. “Edit.Copy”
-
Browse to SD card with “My Computer”. Create a folder named “Music” on the root of SD card if a “Music” folder is not there already.
-
Click “Edit” and “Paste” into the “Music” directory on the SD card. The copy may take a long time.
-
Once the copy is complete, your phone may be very slow for several minutes or longer while the songs are indexed on the phone.
-
Start your Android media player and all of your artists, albums, & songs will now appear.
The benefits of this approach is that you don’t need to purchase or download any software!
