Q: Can I sync my iTunes Library to Apple Music for Android?
As far as music players go, Apple Music is by far the best looking and feeling, and easy to use available for Android. But I haven't been able to use it and have been stuck using the (horrible) Google Play Music app to get my iTunes Library on my Mac to my Android phone. The way it handles lock screen controls, artwork, interface and sorting, etc, is just terrible. I really want to use Apple Music instead but as far as I know putting your ITunes library on it is not an option. The Android version only lets you use the Music Streaming Subscription service, and offline those songs, or offline songs you have purchased through the ITunes Store in the past. That doesn't entirely work for me though, as I often use the iTunes store for buying music, but there are plenty of instances where I have bought from the artist directly (Radioheads www.amoonshapedpool.com just today is an example), or bought from Bandcamp or other artist contribution sites and imported them into my iTunes Library on the Mac. This has alienated me from using Apple Music and leaving me stuck with Google Play. Am I wrong? Is there any way to do this, say... iTunes Match? If there is any way to do this that would be much appreciated.
