Getting music from my IPod 7 to my Samsung Galaxy J3

How do I translate all the music I have bought from ITunes on my IPods over the years on to my Samsung Galaxy phone, there is an iTunes icon there but if I use that I will be paying twice for my music.

iPod Touch (6th Gen)

I'm not aware of an iTunes app for Android (and I do have an Android phone). If the icon you're referring to is Apple Music, that is the Apple subscription service. It is not suitable for your purposes, since you already own copies of the music that you want.


You cannot transfer music from an iPhone to another device (not even an Apple one) and as far as I know, the only practical way is to download your iTunes Store purchases to your computer, and then copy them to your Galaxy phone, using Windows File Manager.


Looking in the Android app store, I can see apps that offer to sync between iTunes and your phone, but I've not tried them have no idea how good they are.
