Music

Thank your lucky stars, because bringing music over from iOS to Android is no longer the absolute nightmare it once was.

There's nothing to it if you use a streaming service like Spotify, Pandora, Google Play Music, or even — amazingly — Apple Music; just download the equivalent app from the Google Play Store, sign in, and your entire collection will be at your fingertips in seconds.

If you have your own personal music collection, your best bet is to download the Mac- or Windows-based Music Manager app for Google Play Music. It can find and import any music stored on your computer as well as in iTunes, in formats ranging from MP3 to WMA, FLAC, and OGG — and even AAC files without digital rights management (DRM) protection.  (Google has said this personal music storage feature will eventually be brought over to the newer YouTube Music service — which is expected to replace Google Play Music at some point in the foreseeable future — but we've seen no signs of that happening just yet.)
