Its easier to:

Use kies.

Or..

Transfer your iTunes library onto a micro sd card and then mount it.

Butthere are a few programs that claim to work with iTunes

Its fairly easy to use. Just download kies on your PC.. Locate your iTunes folder then plug in your phone.

I believe you can also do it wirelessly.. But I have not went down that road yet.. I can only imagine the battery drain

I was in the same boat. I wanted my music to come across from my itunes as seemlessly as possible.

After a ton of research, I recommend isyncr wholeheartedly. It's like 2.99 or something, but definitely worth it. It installs a program on your phone, where all you have to do is plug the phone to the computer, navigate to that folder on your computer, and then open it. A little window pops up that asks what files you want to sync... easy. Download the lite version for free (20 song limit) to see if you like it. But it really was extremely easy to use, and it keeps up the play list count (supposedly) when you sync in the future, which is a feature I like.

I have researched both double twist and isyncr...just looking to not pay, but it is only 2.99. Wont "break" the bank...I will find out one way or another tonight. Thanks for all the suggestions. So many more options with android.

Yeah, I wanted to keep the stock player, just because I was starting to get a little overwhelmed with the choices available to me that replaced it (doubletwist, winamp, etc.)

I really recommend downloading the light version of isyncr so you can double check that it works, just in case. I had no problems, so I downloaded the paid version right after and had my music loaded up 5 mins later.
