Recently got my first iPhone and don't like iTunes at all. Does anyone that has one know of a program that will do what iTunes does for free, without having to use iTunes?
Its so bloated and a system hog, plus the sync thing. I hate it. I did find a program named WALTR that does it great, but the trial is over and to keep using it I have to buy it.
Being cheap, if anyone knows of a free program that does it, I'd appreciate it greatly.

No clue, wish i could help but never owned an apple product and everyone i know uses iTunes... first time i ever thought about that and wow that sucks if you need iTunes to transfer everything.

It does suck Tony Hates Everything. Even to put a pic from my PC on my phone or vice versa it takes iTunes and I hate it. Great phone, but iTunes sucks. May bite the bullet and just buy WALTR, cause it works wonderfully. |

I have the SE and it's a really great phone. If it weren't for iTunes, I'd endorse Apple 100%.

They're great phones, just the iTunes thing for me. WALTR is only $19.99, so may be an early Christmas present to myself.

I have an iPad mini and I don't recall ever having to pay to put music on it using iTunes... I remember it was a pain though (and you're right that iTunes sucks!) and I eventually just stopped at one playlist because I use Spotify or Slacker more on there anyway. This is why I love the Android system where I can easily just put the music on my SD card and be done with it.  I converted my mom last month and she loves it!  |

Android is awesome for just that reason, just add to your SD card and done. iPhones make you use iTunes which really sucks.
You don't have to pay money, just your patience and sanity. Very worth it to buy WALTR which, for $19.99 does everything iTunes does, but with a click. So easy, and for life. I like it.

Oh, I guess I read it wrong, in thinking you actually had to pay to get the music on there. I hate iTunes also though, and have only used it the one time I tried to add music. If that fee is only a one-time thing and not a subscription price, I'd say that would be worth it though.  |

Yep ✶April✶ , $19.99 for a lifetime subscription. You can try it free for a week or two here. It really works, and much easier. |

I still can't figure out how to get data off of an SD card onto a Mac. It really shouldn't be so much of a hassle...  |
