I want to buy an iphone 5 but all say we should purchase songs from itunes only?

Can we put the songs stored in my computer which is not purchased from itunes

Yup!

Not true at all

You can drag and drop your songs ( not from itunes ) to the songs section of itunes. Then just click on your device and goto the songs tab and click sync music and the next time you sync all your songs will copied to your device!

I have an iphone and ipod shuffle (shuffle for working out and jogging) with many songs and I have never purchased a song in itunes. You can take any mp3 songs you have and just select and add them into your itunes list, then copy those to the iphone. Its that easy.
I also took a bunch of old CDs and ripped them to mp3 so I could use them also. Actually buying used CDs at pawn shops, etc, is a great way to get songs cheap as many sell them those CDs for a $2 or so, and you can then rip all the songs to mp3.It works great.

Yes, any mp3 song from anywhere will play just fine on an iphone.

  • Why won't iTunes let me play songs before I purchase them? I jus started noticing this problem last night. I have an iPhone 5c. When I go into the iTunes Store and click on charts if I want to hear a song before I purchase it I click on it but it doesn't play, this does it to every song. Someone please help.
  • Songs i did'nt purchase are getting deleted from my itunes library I have an Iphone and any song i downloaded from a CD either doesn't show upin my itunes library on my phone or it shows up but it automatically skips over it.
  • Songs from iTunes won't download after purchase I just downloaded a bunch of songs from iTunes to my iPhone but three of them won't download. It starts to download half way and then I get a MSG saying they could not be downloaded at this time and I pressed retry hundreds of times for two days. It's pissing me off cuz I spent money on them and now I can't have them. Is there anything I can do? Or did I just lose money?
  • ITunes won't download all the songs to my iphone 6s after transffering my list of songs from my old macbook to my PC I transferred my list of songs from my old Macbook to my PC with iTunes. For some reason, iTunes won't download ALL the songs to my iPhone 6s from my PC. For example if I want to download a whole album it will only download few songs from that album. Anyone know how to fix this problem? I also noticed how long it takes to download just few songs from my PC to my iphone 6s which is really frustrating.
