How to add and play mp3s on my iphone 4s?

This iphone seems no where near as userfriendly and functional as the blackberry hold I had before. All I had to do to add any file, let alone a simple mp3, mp4, or other file was to copy from its location on my main computer harddrive, create a folder on my blackberry phones harddrive and paste the files into there and they worked! Including simple mp3 audio and mp4 video files played easily FROM MY PHONE.

Why is this not working on this supposedly better and certainly more expensive iphone? And how do I get my mp3 files from my computer to do more than look pretty some useless playlist on itunes library program, and actually copy them to exist ON MY IPHONE harddrive and PLAY DIRECTLY FROM MY IPHONE so i can simply use it as an mp3 player wherever I and my phone are?

All the tutorials i've come across on internet saying just drag them or import them to itunes and synch itunes with phone are useless. None of them do anything at all to have them on my iphone and play them from there. They just have created a playlist of the names of the mp3 files which does nothing. Apple sucks!

You need iTunes to add mp3 songs to your iPhone, not just by copy and paste. If you are running iTunes below version 11, I can help you. Open iTunes and plug in your iphone. On the left hand side there should be your iphone name, go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iphone. For all of the songs, go to your iphone music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want All songs from your iTunes to your iphone.

  • Why won't songs play good on my iPhone 5 but play normal on iTunes? When I download music and import it to iTunes, They play fine and normal but as soon as i put them on my iPhone they sound scratchy or like if they were getting fast forwarded. I don't think it's my iPhone because I've put songs in it before but this just started happening today. What's the problem, How do i fix this?
  • Why can't I transfer mp3s to my iPhone? I downloaded itunes to my new laptop and connected my iPhone. I was not able to transfer all my music to the library, only the songs I actually bought (the majority of my music was downloaded via file sharing). I downloaded some songs using youtube to mp3 but damn itunes won't let me drag and drop the songs onto my iPhone. Is there any way I can solve this problem?
  • Play sims free-play on iPhone/iPod/iPad without internet connection?

  • Is there a program to download MP3s and sync to my iPhone in one program? Like a one stop shop where I can find MP3s of songs I want and can add to a library that will sync to my phone. I'm sick of iTunes. Even a sync program without mp3s works too.
