My Music tabs

Apple kept much of the same design from the original iOS app, but embraced the typical Android layout too. True to Android design, the app has a left slide-out "hamburger" menu (so named for the three horizontal lines that look like a hamburger) where you can jump to different sections. That menu is where you'll find the For You, New, Radio, Connect, Playlists and My Music tabs. The hamburger menu keeps things a bit more organized, but it does make it more tedious to switch between tabs. Beyond the menu layout, the app looks a lot like the iOS version. In fact most pages look nearly identical and suffer from the same overcrowding, with tabs jam-packed with albums, playlists and other suggestions. That was my biggest gripe with the  iOS app  and it's still a problem with the Android app. Enlarge Image Apple Music on Android has a streamlined design that's very similar to the iOS app.

Use Apple Music for Android

Apple usually doesn’t make apps for Android. But in an effort to keep iTunes customers who wisely made the switch to Android, Apple made the Apple Music for Android app. It has its flaws, but it’s the official way to listen to your iTunes music on Android. Because it is an Apple service you will need an Apple ID to use it. You should already have one since you have iTunes music. Make sure you retrieve your account if you can’t find the information and consider contacting customer support if you are still unable to access it. The Apple Music app gives you the same features as iTunes, with recommendations for you from a 30 million song catalog. You can keep all of the playlists you made when you used iOS and transferring is simple. It is a streaming service, just like Spotify, that requires a subscription, but the  first three months  are free.

Step 1 : Create a folder on your computer that you will use to send podcasts to your phone and put it somewhere easy to find like your Desktop Step 2 : On your Android device make sure that the “Simple Mode” under Advanced options is disabled. Simple mode pushes all new folders to a default location on the device. Turning it off allows you to Sync shared folders to specific locations within the file structure of your device. This means you can send Podcasts directly to the Podcasts folder, rather than to a default folder where you’d have to move them again, for example. Step 3 : Also make sure that you turn “Auto-sync” on for this folder if you want everything to transfer automatically. (Leaving it turned off will let you access things on-demand without storing everything on the device all the time if that’s better for you) Step 4 : Share that folder using Sync to your Android device using the QR code and designate the correct destination folder on the device – for me that’s /s...

Sync iTunes to Android

I love my Moto X and I’ve been on Android since I first got my HTC Incredible in 2010, but I’m chained to iTunes for managing my music and podcast subscriptions on my laptop. This has caused no end of inconveniences when trying to figure out the best way to move music and podcasts from my laptop to consume them on my Moto X. I don’t shuffle around my music too often, but I am nearly addicted to several podcasts that update weekly (or more often). I have jealously watched as my wife easily tethers her iPhone to move her desired content, but no longer. Look at all those blue dots… lots of listening to catch up on. Since the release of Sync 1.4 I’ve been using Sync to move podcasts and music to my Moto X from my laptop quickly and easily. Here’s how to do it with Podcasts:
