So I just bought a Gs3 (I know its outdated but its whatever) anyways I have over 300 songs on my iTunes library (most of them I actually bought) but I read you can only get them on your android through your PC which sucks because literally mine just broke :mad:

Idk what to do when I get my gs3, I want my iTunes on there or I just wasted a lot of money....
 
I haven't found an app yet that connects an Android phone directly to Apple to get your music without a computer. There are apps to sync from a Macbook or a Windows laptop (or equivalent desktop computers), but you do need a computer of some sort to sync your iTunes to your phone.
 
Are all your iTunes songs on a PC which died or are they on an iPhone? If they're on a dead PC you'll have to get the hard drive out and connect it to another working PC, then you can copy the iTunes library to your Android. If they're on an iPhone, you'll still need a PC to retrieve the songs from the iPhone.

Unless the cause of PC death is hard drive failure.

If so, better hope that the iTunes songs are on the iPhone then. Because Apple doesn't usually let you redownload iTunes purchased songs, unlike some other music stores.

They don't? What if you lose like a few thousand worth of stuff in the hard drive? I mean that's a big setback! At least in my case I still have the CDs I ripped the music off from if my HDD gets a problem.

No they don't! From what I can remember, although it's a few years since I've dealt with iTunes purchases, iTunes does periodically remind you to backup your purchases and library.
