Oh, to play the field.

You’ve wanted to dump that Apple device for years now, but you always go back to it for one main reason: fear of giving up all that music you’ve bought over iTunes.

Guess what: transferring music from your iTunes library over to a new Android device isn’t as difficult as you think. In fact, there are a few different ways to do the deed, and for free.

If you’re ready for the big move, the following are some convenient options when transferring your songs over to your new squeeze.

Sync & play

Itunes How To Import Library

Available at the Google Play store, download the doubleTwist Music Player app and follow the prompts to send an email to your Gmail account, so you can download the free doubleTwist Sync desktop client to your PC or Mac. Launch the computer program.

To import your iTunes playlists onto your Android, connect your phone to your computer via its USB cable and in the doubleTwist Sync software, click to sync your iTunes playlists or create a new playlist in doubleTwist using the tracks it imports from iTunes. Unplug your phone and you’re good to go.

Not only is doubleTwist a great music player for Android, but it’s also a radio streamer, podcast manager, video player, and more.

Unlike other music software for Android, doubleTwist isn’t a restricted trial version of the real deal: it is the real deal.

But if you want to pay for the optional in-app upgrade to doubleTwist Pro ($8.99), you can unlock additional features like AirSync (sync music, even iTunes playlists, with your PC or Mac over Wi-Fi); AirPlay your phone’s music to Apple TV, Sonos, or video game consoles; download new podcasts automatically and without ads; retrieve missing album art for your music library; and take advantage of the doubleTwist equalizer.

To the cloud

Import To Itunes

Rather than transfer your iTunes music from one device to another, some might prefer to upload the tracks to an online cloud account to access anytime, anywhere and on multiple devices.

All you need is an Internet connection and the Google Play Music app, which is preinstalled on all Android devices these days.

To get going, install the free Music Manager (for PC, Mac or Linux) or Google Play Music (for Chromebooks or the Chrome browser). Sign in with your Google ID. Now it’s time to upload your favorite songs from your computer to your Google Play library. You can upload up to 50,000 songs and listen on your mobile device, computer, or Android TV.

To do this, select Preferences and then click Upload to select the location of your music collection on your computer (e.g. Music>iTunes>iTunes Media). Follow the on-screen setup instructions to select folders to upload to Google Play Music.

And this is handy: you can have Google Play Music automatically upload any new tracks it detects in your iTunes folder. Simply leave the app open and it'll handle the task in the background.

The manual way

Manually transferring your music files from iTunes into your Android phone (or tablet) doesn’t require any special software if you’re on a Windows PC.

The first step is to connect your Android device to your PC via USB cable, and don’t forget to unlock your phone with a PIN, pattern or fingerprint scan. Now open up Windows Explorer, which lets you see your computer’s folders and files, and find your iTunes Media folder. Usually, the directory is simply called “Music,” which you’ll see on the left-hand side of Windows Explorer. Click it to open and you’ll see the “iTunes” folder inside, and click one more time to access iTunes Media folder.

Select all the music you want, right-mouse click and choose “Copy.” Now it’s time to paste this music onto your Android phone or tablet. To do so, select the name of your device in Windows Explorer, listed on the left-hand side of the screen, which might be called something like “Samsung Galaxy” or “Mary’s Phone,” or whatever. Choose to place the music on an external memory card (if you prefer) or on the phone’s internal memory, and look for a folder called “Music,” “Media,” or “Downloads.’ Any of these will do. Right-mouse click and choose “Paste.” That’s it.

Alternatively, you can have two Windows Explorer windows open on your PC at the same time, and use your mouse to drag-and-drop the music files or folders from iTunes onto your Android phone.

The process is similar for Mac users. You’ll need your Android phone and its USB cable, plus you’ll also download and install the free Android File Transfer app installed on your phone or tablet. On your Mac, open up Finder and locate the directory on your Mac that houses the actual physical music files. Similar to Windows, it should be in Music > iTunes > iTunes Media. Drag and drop your music onto your Android, by dropping it into the desired folder on the device.
