    No understanding what that has to do with the Galaxy S8+.
    Unless you want to transfer your iTunes music to your S8+, In which case you may be talking about a SD card and not a memory stick.
    It's fairly easy, connect phone to PC via USB then just drag and drop to the SD card Please clarify.

    Thanks for your input...


    Ok maybe I have misunderstood that I assumed I could use a USB type Flash Drive to store the iTunes on.


    I have fitted a 34GB SD Card to the phone but unsure of the method to adopt, as I am not very knowledgeable with computers, sorry.


    Then I would probably need an app to run the programme.

    Hello and thanks JJ - Yes I would love to listen to my collection of iTunes that are on my Windows 10 pc on my Samsung S8+ through a set of ear-pieces, but as you will gather, the technology is hard for this 'Old Codger' to work out without some help.


    thank you for your understanding...

    34GB SD Card? Are you sure?

    Its not hard, files are on PC, connect phone to PC with a USB cable (the charger one will work) click files on PC and drag to the phone.

    Is the music stored on iTunes ?

    What I mean is, if you were install the iTunes app would your music be there ready to listen too ?

    Maybe you don't want to do this as it will use your data ?

    Many thanks Debbie and DCFC...for your comments...


    As I mentioned in an earlier post that I was not too good with computers, and being almost eighty years of age it is not easy to follow modern technology for some of us.


    On my PC I have installed iTunes and my 'Music' and I would like to be able to have the same on my Samsung S8 if that was possible.


    I have fitted, as mentioned a 32GB SanDisk Card to hopefully record/store videos taken during the day until I get home etc. so I did not wish to fill this card with too much music etc.


    I wonder just how many GB of space I would take up if I installed the iTunes app, if there is one available, that I am not sure.


    Thank you for your patience in this matter.


    Regards.

    Hi, don't worry about being a bit behind the curve with tech. At least you are trying where many your age just don't.
    Have a read through the following article. There are a few methods of achieving what you want. The last one explains about Apple Music app for android.

    https://www.androidpit.com/itunes-and-android-how-to-sync

    How many GB it will take up will depend on how much music you have stored in iTunes.
    Right click on the iTunes folder and then click on 'Properties', it should indicate how big it is in there.
    Feel free to come back and ask questions if needed.
