There must be an easier way to transfer my itunes? At the moment I convert the mp4's into mp3's before transferring them over to the phone via usb cable.
Anyone know of an easier way?

plenty of apps out there that will allow you to sync directly from your itunes account .....iSyncr rings a bell.

Personally I hated itunes and just use drag and drop.

Alternatively you could load them all up to cloud storage (such as Dropbox) or even use Google Music.

open Itunes and open the music file in your SG2 and drag and drop the album into the music folder on your phone. SG2 plays mp4 and many other formats so you don't have to convert the music to mp3, you might have to make a new folder for each album you put in phone so they will be easily identified if you later want to delete them FOR EXAMPLE :-

say I wanted to put Aha's - Hunting high and low album on my phone I would make a folder called that in my SG2 music folder and then I would just drag the album cover in my Itunes over to said new folder.repeat with new folder names and just keep dragging and dropping.

or if your music folder on your computer is in album format what i mean by that is that you have manually added albums to itunes so the albums will be in the right order and not messed around by Itunes you can drag and drop them in that way

hope that helps

I also hate itunes but for the time being there is no alternative. Google Music is not available here in the UK. Wish they'd hurry up and launch it as I am begrudgingly handing my money to Apple.

Helped a great deal, thank you. I was converting into mp3 so I could also put on a disc. Some where with all that 'processing' I forgot that I didn't need to convert for the phone...never easy is it?
