Where/How to store music

Hi

I've got music all over the place - loads on original cd's, loads on ITunes on my Ipod and loads on my phone.

At home we have a Sonos system now, so really I'd like to be able to store it all together on some sort of database like ITunes so that it can be easily sorted. My husband has told me I can't copy the iTunes music anywhere??

Is there anyway I can get all my music stored together so that I can play it at home?

Many thanks
Terrysdelight

    Your husband is incorrect. If you already have iTunes why not get all the music into iTunes and sorted out first. Then you can read up on Sonos and how to link it to your iTunes library.

    OK. So if I copy all my music to the ITunes library - (that's stored on my pc) - can I copy the music onto my IPOD and my nexus tablet?

    yes, you can copy it onto your iPod very easily.

    You can copy it onto your nexus too, altho that's slightly more awkward because Apple are snooty about Android devices. However I use an App called TuneSync which lets you copy iTunes playlists across to an Android device quite easily
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    You could sync your iTunes folder with "Google music" *(limit of 200,000 tracks) ;)

    https://play.google.com/music

    It's a bit clunky and slow to upload things, but after that you can then stream music from any android device.



    *won't play or upload any tracks that are DRM (older iTunes tracks might be have DRM restructions)

    iTunes is the way Apple want you to put music on iPods.
