For the apple download itunes. That is apples program to put music on their products. If you don't like apple stuff try media monkey. I use media monkey quit a bit for lots of reasons but it will take care of both video and music. Another thing is you won't need to keep music in different places on your computer, like itunes and the my music folder for example, you can just transfer your my music folder to the ipod shuffle with mediamonkey. That's the method I highly recommend in your case as you have apple and android. It will save you a major headache. You don't need to buy the gold product to do what you are asking about here, you can use the free program. Download MediaMonkey 4 1 4 You don't need any special program for you android phone. On the phone you can choose to connect to a computer as a usb media with a usb cable. Then it's copying and pasting you music into your phone from your computer. You just need the cable that probably came with your phone. Plug it into your computer then it should pop up a box on your computer that will open open up the contents of your phone. Open to view folder and you can put the music whereever you want in your phone. Hope this helps.
