Sick of Itunes

[LokoKun]

For various reasons, I'm finally done with Itunes. I have an Iphone that I can't get rid of for a while so I need a piece of Software to add songs to my phone, preferably something with the same utility as Itunes, but faster, better and not a piece of shit.

Any recommendations?

I used Media Monkey with acceptable results for a bit. It's pretty decent for organizing files too.

You can buy songs from iTunes store directly to your phone. Or you can just make an app of MP3/4 files like I do. But you still need iTunes to get the app on your phone. Unless you think Apple screening team will let you beta test the apps and you can download the app from Test Flight.

I really just want something to let me put my songs on my Iphone without using Itunes.

I only have a 16 GB iPhone 5s and like 4 GB is taken by OS and other bullshit so I don't really have the luxury of keeping songs on the phone all the time. I kind of just use iTunes Radio and youtube app. I do have an app with like 500 MB of music that I manually edit but meh my tastes change a lot.

I wonder what would happen if you just drag MP3/4 files into iPhone folder (from Windows/Mac desktop screen).

Well, what happened was I was just adding songs onto Itunes when my Computer crashed, upon reboot it had wiped my Itunes library completely clean and every itunes file I had. All completely damn gone.

Can you not drag and drop files to an iphone?

Not without jailbreaking it.

The Google Play Music service is available on iOS and Android. It allows one to upload their MP3 library to the Google Play Music cloud and stream those music files anywhere/anytime as long as there is an internet connection.

It is a free service.

And totally awesome; I use it on my Android phones, iPad, Chromebook, Windows Laptop & Desktop, iMac. iPod and iPhone.

I also hate iTunes, i suffered a lot while having an iPhone and i jailbreaked it and did any kind of things to avoid iTunes. I think the best way to avoid it, if it is only for synchronizing music, is using the program CopyTrans. I don't know if it works the same nowadays, when i used it worked perfectly for that.

I have unlimited 4G LTE data. Mileage may vary depending on personal limitations.

The service is still fantastic.

Really? Did you try logging into your Apple account on iTunes on your computer? Because iCloud syncs shit if you use it correctly.

yea streaming services are nice but unless you have wifi kiss your gigs goodbye.

they should keep track and let you reserve songs you bought through iTunes if I'm not mistaken. if you downloaded it I'm not sure.

I buy music from Amazon, and you can just download to your iPhone from their app.
