Authorize iTunes on Android device?

How can I import my iTunes library into Apple Music on my new Samsung? I don't want to have to buy everything all over again, especially since some of it came from CDs that I no longer can find.

Thanks for getting back to me, but I guess I wasn't as clear in my question as I thought. I *have* my iTunes account on my PC, and my library is intact. So the issue is simply trying to authorize my Android to play the music that already exists in my library. I found software for iOS and Microsoft, but zilch for Android (not surprising but really, *really* annoying). Is there a workaround so that I could upload my existing library onto my Samsung?

You may want to look into Google Play and that related to using Android devices with iTunes

and they include PC computing hardware. A few days ago, by accident, I happened across

a suitable topic page and read it. But didn't need to save it and so now it's back to the Ether.


Today, I notice something by someone in Denmark by the name 'iShare Music for iTunes'

that is in Android Apps on Google Play. https://play.google.com/store/apps

And items like this: closer...

But don't have the time to attempt to find the item from a few days ago, found by accident. 😉

You may wish to familiarize yourself with the Apple Music system and create

a backup of the music, before using that newer system. There are issues for

some users where they said their music disappeared once they no longer

sought to keep the Apple Music account active.


For example, the old imports from your CDs may go missing if you no longer

subscribe to Apple Music & relied on that solely as a means to listen to them.


So far I've avoided most of those issues by not using them... LOL! 😉
