How to play mp3 on iPhone 5?

My iPhone 5 just came in and I'm trying to get my mp3 files onto it. The files are saved on my PC and I'm trying to transfer them using iTunes. But when I drag the files onto iTunes, it tells me this:
"xxxxx.mp3" was not copied to iPhone "xxxxx" because it can't be played on this iPhone.

Am I missing an app? If so, what's a good app for the iPhone to play mp3 files?
If it's not a Mac issue, how do I get the phone to play these mp3 files?

Return your iPhone and get an Android phone. On Android you simply drag and drop whatever you want onto your phone. The iPhone has no viewable filesystem at all. It's worthless.

Your music is not in the correct format to add them in to your phone, sometimes i got that issue with my ipod. You could try downloading a converter on your computer and converting them to a format that can be played on your phone.
