How do I transfer mp3's from my computer to my iPhone?

So I downloaded a free mixtape from the weeknd and now I'm trying to move them from my pc to itunes so I can listen to them on my iphone. There are 3 mixtapes. I managed to move one of them onto itunes and conversely to my phone lol. I have no clue how I did it.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know this is a total noob question but I am what I am.


Thanks!

iPhone 4, Windows 7

In iTunes, File > Add to Library navigate to the mp3 and add it to iTunes. When you have done both of them sync your iPhone.

Hi - I had the same problem and I did what you suggested but when I looked at the music list on my iPhone 4s all the song titles are shaded and can't be played. When I did the transfer I got several error messages saying certain songs couldn't be transferred because of -5000 error. I REALLY miss being able to listen to music when I walk the dog!!

Thanks Deggie I tried that but I'm afraid that it didn't work. I have tried several times and get messages like "Attempting to copy to the disk""failed. You do not have enough access privileges" Soemtimes I get a message about device driver software not being installed. Other times it's a mesage about an -5000 error.


But I thank you for your efforts.

First install either ipod Agent on PC, this will run a small server program to transfer music from PC to iPhone.

Connect mobile to pc via usb and create a folder called Music on sd card or phone storage, using usb storage method in wireless connections, not using Kies default. Right-click on iTunes Agent icon in system tray and choose preferemces. Click the Choose button and select the Music folder you created on thecomputer Finally, right-click on the iTunes Agent icon in the system tray and select Synchronize devices to sync Music to your computer. If you have any question about using iPhone Transfer, feel free to ask me.
