How do I add and remove mp3s from my iPhone?

I've forgotten again how to add and remove mp3s from my iPhone. Can someone please remind me? I am an iTunes subscriber using a PC running Windows 7 and iTunes 11.1.

drag and drop the files/folder (with the songs) into itunes (you might have to drag it to 'library' in the top left (you'll see the songs added)


connect your device


select your device in itunes from the menu on the left hand side


under the songs, select (either via artist or album or whatever) by ticking the checkboxes


apply/sync


wait a while...


eject/remove your device

Read the manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

Make sure you have iTunes 11.1.1 installed on your computer.

Plug your iPhone into your computer.

Open iTunes. Create a new Playlist and name it whatever you want. I use iPhone Sync.

Go to your Music Library, click and drag the music you want into your new Playlist.

Click on your iPhone along the top right. Click on Music and select Sync Music and choose just the new Playlist.

Click on the Sync button on the bottom right of the iTunes screen.

On a Mac with iTunes.


Plug in your iPhone to your computer.

Open iTunes.

Click View>Show Sidebar. Then File>New>Playlist. Create a new playlist.

Click on Music in the Sidebar then drag/drop the music you want into the new playlist you created.

After you get all your music in the play list you created click on the iPhone then Music and then sync your new play list to your iPhone.
