Itunes Android
Brie Hoffler
I am trying to sync my android phone with iMusic to my iTunes on my PC. I do not, nor do I want, a subscription, just want to sync my personal music on my computer to my android phone. Everywhere I look is about iCloud stuff, I don't want to stream anything. My iTunes on the computer isn't acknowledging my phone at all, and iMusic on my phone wants me to subscribe.
In basic terms, you copy the music files from your computer to the phone by using Windows Explorer. All those music files will be in folders on your computer, usually in the iTunes/iTunes Media folder. Each artist will have their own folder. For example, the iTunes/iTunes Media/Ellie Goulding/.. folder should contain further folders listing the albums by her that you have in your library.
This is a forum for Apple devices and that's what I'm here to help with. So even though I am familiar with Android phones, it can hardly be a surprise that my knowledge of Synctunes Ultimate and iMusic is non-existent and my understanding of Spotify is limited since I don't use it.
iTunes is the computer programme that manages Apple's portable devices and at a stretch, it's the iTunes Store. It is not the music that you buy. So when you say "iTunes", if you mean music that you have purchased from the iTunes Store, please note that I have answered this twice.
Thanks for the response. I already have music on my phone, using another program to play it. What I am getting from your first line is that iMusic doesn't allow android to sync with iTunes when used with an android. From that I am getting that iMusic on android is only good for streaming from iTunes online with a subscription. That is unfortunate.
I'm not trying to move my (purchased music from Itunes) over to another, I want to upload Itunes, the program on my android and play my music through my phone. I do apologize that you had to answer the same question over and over again. I guess that is the nature of the job..... And, I do apologize for not using the right wording to get my point across. I am not an expert and don't claim to be, hence is why I am reaching out to you.
As far as I know, you can add music directly to your Android phone (as already discussed) and then use the Media Monkey app (know as MMA - or Media Monkey for Android) to play that music, after you have told Media Monkey where on your phone to look for the music. Media Monkey can be downloaded from the Android Play store. It has nothing whatsoever to do with iTunes and you cannot use iTunes on your Android phone in any shape or form.
To access additional features in Media Monkey, you can install Media Monkey Pro and use that along with the desktop version of Media Monkey (known as MMW - or Media Monkey for Windows) to manage the music that you can then add to the phone.
There are other apps designed for Android phones that can play music stored on the phone, but I know even less about them than I do about the product I have mentioned. I really think that you should consult forums intended for Android users and the Media Monkey forum.
However, re-reading your post several times (as well as investigating further), I think you may be referring to iMusic, an app for Android devices, from VIETTS Studio, that describes itself as a music player, but in fact seems to be another streaming service, presumably with a monthly subscription. That would fit in with your comment that "iMusic on your phone wants you to subscribe".
This is my issue, too! When I installed the music app Synctures Ultimate it took me to install "Simple Music Player (bltstudo) it said, "Your device isn't compatible with this version!" I was able to sync my iTunes from my desktop to Synctures and supposedly I can use through my Galaxy S21 FE 5G. Not! So, you are suggesting to try this "Media Monkey"? Another question, if I can't listen to my itunes on my phone, what about Spotify? Is there away to sync iTunes to spotify?
I decided to go with Android and bought a new Galaxy S7 a few days ago. I have a large music library in iTunes but now I don't know how to move those music to Android, so that I can play then on Poweramp app. What is the right way to do that?
You need to download your songs onto your device (either to your PC first and then copy them over via a USB cable, or directly to your device if you are able). They must be clean audio files, not encrypted or DRM protected. Personally I prefer MP3 format, but iTunes doesn't always play nice with MP3s and if it downloads a different format I'd stick with that rather than converting the files again.
Once on your device, make sure the folder location where you have saved the files is accessible for Poweramp's music scanner, which you can do via Poweramp Settings > Folders and Library > Music Folders.

There are many transfer program which help you transfer music or other data from iTunes to Android, like doubleTwist.
When syncing files using doubleTwist, take note that the copied music files will stored in the Music folder inside the internal SD card of the phone or tablet.
1. Install and launch doubleTwist on your computer.
2. Connect your phone to the computer. Make sure USB Mass Storage mode (or MTP) is enabled on your phone or tablet.
3. Your device should be recognized automatically, which will trigger a syncing window.
From here, you can use doubleTwist to transfer all music files, playlists, or selected music files from iTunes to your Android phone.
Before showing how to transfer iTunes Music to Android, I have to clarify two kinds of "iTunes Music". Nowadays, when some people say "iTunes Music" or "iTunes songs", they mean "Apple Music". The songs you downloaded from Apple Music are DRM protected. However, not all iTunes music are protected by FairPlay. iTunes has released some DRM-free music, marketed as iTunes Plus music which can be burned to CD as many times as you need, synced to any AAC-enabled device (such as iPad, iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV), and played on any Mac, Windows computers or media players you own.
The alpha builds of Poweramp can play AAC audio (such as files with M4A extensions) but as you say it can't play material that is encrypted by the provider to only play in their software. Also I find some AAC encoding is more reliable than others, and embedded tagging is generally poor (or nonexistent).
Personally I would never pay for something (music or video) for which I did not then have a decent level control of how I use the file and what I play it on. I prefer to control my technology and the way it behaves rather than having it dictate to me how I should use it (which is why I have Android and Windows devices, and not a single Apple product in the house - no matter how nice their actual hardware might be).
For the DRM-free iTunes Music, why not directly connect you Galaxy S7 with your computer then find the downloaded music files and transfer it. But for the DRM-protected music, you can only convert these music files to MP3 that playable on Poweramp app via some DRM removal
It's really not an issue, Just go to C:\Users\YourName\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music on your Windows Explorer and copy each and every folder from there to your S7's Internal Memory/SD Card, in Poweramp itself set it to scan whatever folder you copied your folders to and then just scan it, it works just fine. I personally buy all of my music from iTunes aswell and Poweramp plays iTunes' AAC(M4A) files just fine.
KEEP IN MIND: Music downloaded using the Apple Music streaming service on your computer (M4P) is a DRM protected file and will not be able to be played on your phone using Poweramp. Only music that you've actually bought from the iTunes store.
To play iTunes music on android devices, as I know, it is impossible previously. But now, with DRM removal software, we can play all iTunes music and videos on non-Apple devices without limitation. Since all iTunes music and videos are encrypted with fairplay DRM protection, so you need to remove it at first [Copyright removal tool link removed] after that, you can enjoy it on android and Samsung devices. Hope this point is useful to you. Good luck.
As far as I know, if your iTunes music were purchased before 2009, then those songs are protected by DRM. Unless you use some third-party software like [Link removed] to unlock the DRM, you can't directly sync those iTunes music to Poweramp. But currently all iTunes music are free of DRM protection. You don't need to remove DRM but only convert those M4P file format to more commonly MP3 or others. BTW, TunesKit also works with it by converting the common iTunes songs to MP3 and other formats.
