Can't transfer music from computer to Samsung S6 Active - USB issue?

[AC Question]

can't transfer music from computer to samsung s6 active - USB issue?

I'm new to Android. Trying to transfer songs from the iTunes library on my mac laptop to the S6 Active. I downloaded isyncr to both the phone and laptop. If I connect via wifi the phone can see my library, but I get an error message after it tries to sync a playlist for a while and fails. Connecting via USB doesn't work either - the computer can't see the phone and the only notification I get on the phone is that it's charging via USB (no option to transfer files - MTP). I already made sure USB debigging was on within the phones settings.

Have you tried DoubleTwist?

You might have to export the playlist out of iTunes. Or you have to download software made specifically for mac with Samsung phones. As mac is kinda a competitor with Samsung so they might try to force you to use an iPhone.

I don't know if this applies to Samsung phones, but my Sony phone is not visible via USB unless it's unlocked.
