as title really – whats the best way to do this? Cant seem to find an elegant solution

What format is the music in? If mp3, the android supplier’s software will hvae a feature to ‘import’ the music on to the device…or you just drag and drop what you want…if the music is in an apple format, then you may need to export it all out as mp3 and then use those files to Android.

Install google play music manager on laptop, sync itunes up to google. play it on android using google play music.

+1 for Google Play, a very elegant solution.

google have a guide/process for doing just this:

iSyncr on the Google Play Store lets you sync directly from iTunes onto your phone. The companion music player, Rocketplayer also lets you sync ratings / playcounts etc back into iTunes..
