How to Transfer Music from iPhone to Android Smartphone

Switching from an iPhone to an Android smartphone requires some gymnastics. Habits to resume, new applications to adopt, others to find and then, of course, a long quest, the one that will allow you to transfer your various data. Because, in the end, that's the most important thing. Along with photos and videos, music is generally one of the most important data to transfer. While songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be easily recovered from iTunes, music stored on the iPhone after synchronization is difficult to recover, iTunes not being able to perform the reverse operation.

Users then have no choice but to manually back up their songs, before finally being able to transfer them back to their Android smartphone.

1. Download iTunes

If you haven't already, download and install iTunes on your computer. Apple's media player software is essential for managing everything stored on your iPhone.
