    Default Switching to a Nexus 7, how to move my iTunes library?

    I will be buying a Nexus 7 shortly and have ALL my music and movies in iTunes. Is there an easy way to move the content over I want and still be able to access my iTunes library for my iPods etc. I do have some DRM Protected content. I have seen there are programs that will remove that. I have also seen advice to burn to a CD then rip it back into my laptop. I have also seen advice to move stuff into Google Play but I have heard that only works if you have wifi connection so would be no use if between spots. Sorry for all the questions but the Android world is foreign but I'm sick of paying top dollars for Apple gear and getting less in return.

    Removing DRM? Don't even try to start a conversation about that here.

    All non-DRM content? Just install the Google Music Manager and have it point to where your iTunes music (music only, movies need not apply) is. Everything will upload to the cloud. If you want to listen offline, just pin it in the Play Music player.

    What other devices have I had? Here's my phone timeline.

    Video is tricky, as it is all DRM'd to hell. You will not find any discussion on how to remove DRM from any type of content here as removing DRM is illegal, at least in the United States.

    As for music, unless it is all music that was purchased from iTunes back in 2004, it should be completely DRM free. The best/easiest thing to do is to download the Google music manager to your computer, and you can point it to iTunes and it will upload everything. I actually still buy almost all of my music through iTunes and it just goes to Google Music automagically.

    Music in Google Music lives in the cloud, but on the device you can "pin" things, which is Google-speak for "save locally to the device" which means you can store it on the device and play it when you don't have a wifi connection.

    I personally like Amazon for music because it is cheaper. They also have a cloud music app that lets you download to the device locally.
