You plug it in into a USB port and drag files over to the mounted drive.
Conversely, any app or product that requires me to use iTunes is pretty much out of the running for me because it is too damn annoying to work with.

- matwood 16y agoYou plug it in into a USB port and drag files over to the mounted drive. I hope that's not the only way to get music on an Android phone because it sounds like a PITA. I don't want to pick through 30GB of music looking for song files to add to my phone. With the iPhone I have selected some playlists that stay on the phone and are updated anytime I plug the phone back into the computer (also works for movies, books, documents, photos). I never have to think about it beyond adding a song to the playlist. I can also tell iTunes to finish filling the phone with whatever music it thinks I might want. From what I gather it uses play counts and date the music was added the library.
- kyleslattery 16y agoThis is just way too complicated for the average user, especially if they're already using iTunes to manage their music (which they probably are). Instead of just plugging in their phone and having it just work, they have to: 1. Plug the phone in 2. Figure out that they have to pull down the notification shade and choose "mount disk" 3. Figure out where iTunes keeps their music files 4. Find the mounted disk on their system 5. Copy over the files
