How to add/remove music on IOS 5 without itunes?

About a year ago with my iPhone 4 I had a program installed on my computer that when I plugged my iphone in it would let me open the files in a windows explorer. (Same way you would view 'My Pictures' from My Computer). I could then add & remove songs from my phone without using itunes.

I have been advised that with the new iPhone 4S on IOS 5, that this ability has now been blocked.

Does anyone know a way around this? ITunes on my computer keeps freezing and is impossible to use (yes, I have the latest version). And when I do use it, it deletes music off my phone and adds random songs that I have not selected.

My goal is to not have to use itunes at all to view my music.
I don't want to use a similar program to itunes, I want to open it in it's own file.

Please, does anyone know how to do this?
Surely there's a way!

This may help, Good Luck!

  • How to add ringtones to your iPhone free without iTunes? I want a new ringtone for my iPhone 4S iOS 6, but I don't want to pay for ringtones. I know if you download an app that let's you create your own ringtones and you have to use iTunes for that. But that's too much for me to handle. So Is there anyway I can get free ringtones without using iTunes or paying for it? Please let me know, Thanks!
