Help Importing Music Help?

[For Sure Bert]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with the most current up to date OS as of 11/07/15
Just finished ripping every cd I own to iTunes on my new laptop (PC with Windows 8.1)
Plan on buying a 128 gig micro sd card to put all of my music on before popping it in my phone

Advice:
1. What is the best way to transfer files from my laptop to said micro sd card?
2. Since there is no iTunes app for the android OS, what is a good alternative? (I would like to retain the album art if possible with a similar layout to an iPhone music display and features like playlists etc.)
3. Maybe some tips on how to continually update my phones music library efficiently since I buy cd's constantly.
4. I'm trying to avoid using any mobile data, essentially want to modify my phone to become an all in one device having my complete music library that can function even in airplane mode.
5. Thanks in advance for any guidance, tips and or suggestions.

in itunes , right click and it will show you folder name. open that folder in windows explorer, copy all the mp3 files to the sdcard(providing windows see the sdcard- are you using a reader or key) . go to google play store to find music/media players

Where am I right clicking in iTunes? I see all the available options between movies, music etc. Everything is organized by album but nowhere does it show the folder name. Also how would I open with windows explorer? There is no option to do that anywhere with any type of folder. I have an sd card slot in my laptop so maybe I need an adapter?

Isyncr is an app which should import your iTunes library to Android, tags and all.

Alternatively, how does iTunes store the music? As MP3 files? I know it used to be in some weird format protected by DRM.

If they're MP3's, insert the SD Card in to the phone, plug your phone in to your PC and just use Windows explorer to drag and drop the MP3's.

They're all mpeg-4 (m4a) files, what would I have to do now? Would I have to format the SD card a specific way or the files themselves? Also is there a directory or a folder that I need to create for that music app to recognize the files? Will it recognize mpeg-4?

I'm not sure, most of my stuff was ripped years ago and is in MP3 format. Try copying one album over to test and use Play Music or PowerAmp to test

You shouldn't need to put it in any folder, but if you want to keep things tidy, create a folder called Music and copy stuff there.
