Synchronize your music from your computer to your smartphone or tablet
You can synchronize specific iTunes playlists and Windows Media® Player playlists to your smartphone or tablet, or a random selection of your songs that aren't in a playlist. The number of your songs and playlists that you can synchronize depends on the amount of storage that is available for storing music files.
