How to add an MP3 to an iPhone5

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

This took way too long to figure out.

First, open iTunes.

Then hit Cntl-S to get the menu up that is the most critical menu, that iTunes was REFUSING to let me activate.

Click on your phone under Devices.

Ensure that your iPhone is set to "manually manage music and videos."

Go to the Library/Music tab in the critical left-hand window.

Drag some songs over.

Now this is the best part.

YOU HAVE TO RIGHT CLICK ON THE SONGS
AND CHOOSE "ADD TO PLAYLIST"
AND THEN SELECT YOUR PHONE, which should be there.

Is that "adding to a playlist?"

"No." -- Larry King "No." -- Larry King "No." -- Larry King "No." -- Larry King "No." -- Larry King "No." -- Larry King "No." -- Larry King

But that's the hoops the fucking dickshits that made iTunes are currently making you jump through to get music over there.

I expect this to all change with the next minor release of iTunes, the iPhone software and the phase of the moon.

01. Launch CopyTrans Manager (free)
02. Drop/drag mp3 to phone.

The day I am forced to use iTunes is the day I smash this phone and "go Android."

Is it just me or do you now read all of Jiz's posts in a slow, southern drawl?

It really was. iTunes and like 10 other reasons are why I will never go back to an iOS device. Although steps have been taken by Moto to make my phone, which was the best thing ever until a year ago, now run like shit. This is what they do. THIS IS WHAT THEY DO.

Does it make you wonder if the engineers constantly 'improve' stuff like phone software so they can justify their jobs by having to write bug fixes?
