Music syncing

[ladynutter]

I just got my first big-kid smartphone (yes, I'm 34 years old, why do you ask?), and I went with the Galaxy S6. I have previously only had experience with iOS on an iPod Touch, so Android in general is very new to me.

From what I've gathered via Google searches, I can easily get music onto my phone by simply using the drag-and-drop method, which is great, and fast! My question, however, is if I can add music to my phone already in playlists, or if I have to make the lists ON the phone. What's the best way to go about getting music onto my phone and keeping it organized? (Music that I already have, not new downloads.)

Thanks!

I'm nearly 70, and I've just got my first clever phone. I'd like an answer to your question too, Ladynutter.

I use iSyncr to sync itunes playlists to my android devices.

Doubletwist is another one which might do the job too.

Thanks MNorby and El Presidente. Do you still player your music from the native android music app?

My carrier gives me a free subscription to a service called Deezer, so I normally use that for music.

When I was using my own MP3's, I used Play Music and another app called N7 Player. Both did the job.

I don't have the S6, so no idea what the pre installed player is like, but there are a load of decent apps on the store if you don't like it.

I have a related question: Re drag and drop to transfer music from my Airmac to my phone. I tried plugging my phone into the USB port on my Airmac and the computer couldn't see the phone at all. Do I need an app to get that to work?
