Putting Music on the iPhone 5S?

I just bought a new iPhone 5S. When i connected it to my itunes i noticed 90% of my music didn't transfer, specifically music that was downloaded through other sources, not itunes. Now whenever i try and put any music that wasn't directly downloaded from itunes onto my phone, it won't work. It just says "Finishing" but never actually finishes. I literally kept my phone connected to itunes the entire time i was in work (about 6 hours) and it just wouldnt work. Anyone else experiencing this? How do i get around it?

Added (1). Any *free* alternatives are welcome - for example, if you know of a way to listen to music when not connected to Wi-Fi or data without paying for a service like spotify.

Maybe because other sites have pirated songs, and apple don't support that.
Use http://last.fm for music.

  • Will putting 2 screen protectors on my iphone work? I've smashed my iphone alot but it still works would i be able to tap the screen and would it work if i had 2 screen protectors?
  • Will my iphone work with just putting in a SIM card? My old phone was turning off all the time and my mom had an old iphone 3 that she doesn't use anymore. I took her iphone and put my SIM card into it. I then plugged it into the computer and registered it with itunes. Will this charge my AT&T bill? I don't want to pay for data yet? I didn't activate it through AT&T, but now I'm kind of worried it will. Will the phone work okay without calling AT&T to activate it?
  • Putting my Sim card from an iPhone into a different iPhone? I'm an AT&T Carrier. I already have an iPhone 4 data plan that I'm paying on. Recently my phone has stopped working and until I can get a new one shipped my friend has offered for me to put my sim card into her old iPhone 4. Will AT&T charge me if I do this?
  • Putting my old iPhone SIM card into new iPhone? I have a backup iPhone at home. Thought I lost it, got a new one - it was later returned to me. So I keep it as a backup. My current phone can't charge because I just dropped it in gravy and it *** it up. Can I put this phones SIM card into my other iPhone and have my service transferred or do I have to take it into the store?
