So, I decided to join the dark side. I've been an iPhone user for 5 years or so and decided to try Android. I got my LG G3 last night and I love it so far.

I have googled this and haven't come across anything helpful yet, but I want to transfer some of my mp3s on my computer to my G3. I can't drag/drop to the memory card. I tried MobileGo, but for some reason it says I need to debug my USB cable (which it already is).

Any help for this Droid noob?

Usually if I locate the mp3's in my iTunes media folder I can drag and drop the to a connected phone or SD card. Outside of that I also use double twist to transfer music. Once you open the app it'll find your iTunes library and you can transfer music to the phone.

Make sure your USB settings are set to allow that type of file transfer. Set to MTP

If the files are in aac convert them to mp3 with itunes

Google music.

Uploads up to 20,000 songs to the cloud, wirelessly syncs them to phone.

Just find where your music is stored for iTunes, go to preferences then advanced and it will show the folder location with your media.

If they are mp4 or mp3 they'll drag and drop to Google Music or your SD Card.

Google Music automatically converts it when uploading.

This is fine until you get to song 20,001. Then what? Oh. That's right. Pay for more storage. If you have 20k or less, it's perfect. Double twist is just a small window that allows your android to sync to your entire iTunes library. Either works great.

if the song matches with what google offers in their digital library then you will be given access to their digital copy and it wont count against your total.

Even if it was, they quit using DRM 6 years ago.

I'm considering this exact thing. I looked at the LG G3 over the weekend but didn't pull the trigger yet.

I asked the rep the exact question you're asking and he said that it is impossible to transfer purchased music from Itunes, but if it wasn't purchased through itunes, it was easily transferred.

So no regrets so far? Are you finding it difficult switching to a new OS? I'm kinda hesitating because I'm not sure if I want to learn a new OS...

Pull the trigger. This thing is amazing.

I've never used a droid until I purchased it. Very easy transition coupled with a better phone and smooth UI

Very good to know. I'm ready to try something new and I've heard excellent things about the LG. Its good to get someones perspective that just made the switch.
