How to Sync iTunes with Android via Google Play Music
A simple solution, which many will have adopted or thought of adopting, is to manually copy theiTunes libraryon theirAndroid device: this, however, proves to be the worst solution if we continue to use iTunes to buy and manage our music files, as we will have to manually copy all the new files whenever we want them on our Android.
WithGoogle Play Music, an extension will be installed on our computer that will take care of uploading all the new songs online to the Google service as we add them: let’s see how.
