BaltoOn my galaxy s4 I use an app called kies which I think is made by samsung, you download it on your computer and it syncs up your itunes files and playlists with your phone just like an iphone in itunes.

McLSyeah kids is fine, altho if u have a mac it tends to be a bitch and recognise your mobile once outa 10...
You might want to look into power amp, a music player faaaar better (mostly better looking) than the native one. You might go crazy trying to transfer itunes playlists to mobile though, if you do feel free to pm me, i've probs spent 100h getting playlists from itunes to mobile through kies. a real pain
.Rybak.yeah it was more difficult then i thought it was going to be so once i finally got frustrated i just copied my music and pasted it right into kies. So now i'm gonna have to go buy an sd card to hold all my music.
omnidataJust get spotify.

Byron_tha_gr8android noobs... This is from someone who has owned droids since the original and developed a few aps and mods in my down time. Keis sucks, don't use it. Its plauged with compatibility issues, it often makes mistakes, and is kind of clunky and not very user friendly. Doubletwist is THE best itunes to android music transfer system, you will never have to convert files or playlists and it will automatically update as you change itunes. Basically you set it up once, and you just use itunes as usual and treat your phone like an Ipod. It also comes with a better-than-native on device player.
If you have to worry about space, use Google Play Music or whatever its called now. You get like 10 free gigs of cloud music storage, and it also has a good player. However it means you have to stream music so data usage can be an issue. You can download the files you want to hear often to your phone, so maybe you have 150 songs on device and another 2,000 on the cloud. You won't use much storage, but it doesnt work with itunes like DT does.
Spotify is nice, but its still not itunes compatible and still uses data. I have all my songs downloaded already so i have no real need to use it outside of a pandora like use.
But don't use kies air, it fuckin sucks. Airdroid is a better wireless file transfer system, it auto connects and can even text and make calls through your computer to your phone.

daOysterSpotify only uses data for songs you haven't marked for offline listening, though this is only a premium feature. It's also amazing at syncing 3rd party music over wifi to your devices. If you convert all of your songs in itunes to .mp3 or .mp4, you can add them to your spotify playlists and sync it right to your mobile device which will transfer the files correctly over wifi hassle free.
K-Dot.GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC
I'm hoping you have a Gmail set up that has all of your shit tied to it, it makes androids super slick. Go on your account on your computer, you download this app that runs in the background and you can select a folder to automatically upload from. Set it to your itunes. Anytime anything is added, it'll be added to your Google play and be able to stream. If you want to keep the song for when you can't stream, you just hit download on your phone.
Easiest way to manage music. Never have to mess with cords and you have constant access to your whole library.
This also works with photos, set it up to autosave your pics in WiFi and you'll never lose a picture or video again
californiagrownBoth rely on a wireless connection which is either unavailable causes data overage issues much of the time.
I jst want itunes on my phone, fuck!!!
K-Dot.Well if you don't want it to use data it won't. You can set it to wifi streaming only and then just save songs you want. And if you wanna go the extra mile just buy a big micro SD card. A 64gb on amazon right now is $17, practically nothing to store the size of most peoples itunes.
californiagrownmy android doesnt take sd cards :( and playing music on the road, or skiing, or biking is THE most important time for me to have music haha.
Looks like ill be buying another ipod nano off ebay...
