>>>>I would like to know some way s of transferring music to iPhone. Someone says to me that the recommended software to be used is iTunes. However, that one seems to charge for transferring music to iPhone. So, most of the users are using free software available that does the same. The problem is that those install spyware and some things like that which practically destroys the PC.

>>>With iTunes open:
>>>If the music is on a CD, just put the CD in the drive and iTunes will ask if you want to import the music.
>>>
>>>If the music is in another format (such as wma or mp3), click "File" and then either "Add file to library" (for a single song) or "Add folder to library"(for multiple songs). iTunes will ask if you want to convert it and say yes.

>>>FWIW, the new version of iTunes is finally (IMO) showing some real promise. Love the interface!

>>PMFJI. When importing from a CD into iTunes do you recommend AAC Encode or MP3 Encode? Primarily if you are planning to transfer the music to iPhone or iPad? TIA.

>I have always used AAC, but probably because its the default. There is some loss in quality if you stream your iTunes music to a nice stereo system, so if that is your main intent you might want a better encoding. I mostly listen to my music via earbuds or my PC stereo speakers.

I found an on-line article that says that AAC has a better quality sound than MP3. The advantage - the article says - of MP3 format file is that they are compatible with virtually every phone on the market. Whereas AAC is for some; including iPod and presume for iPhone too (the article didn't specifically said iPhone). So I am using AAC too.
Thank you
