To access songs and albums from the Apple Music subscription App on an Android device you need the Apple Music App for Android: Join Apple Music on Android - Apple Support


To copy music in your iTunes library that come from other sources, such as ripped CDs, the iTunes Store etc... then you need to follow whatever steps are required for your specific Android device to copy content to it. You can then simply drag and drop the songs from the iTunes Application window or the iTunes media folder onto the Android device in whichever way it has to transfer content.


Since each Android device is different, you need to see what exact steps are required for your particular device. Some may require apps like the Android File Transfer App.

Thanks for responding. I have the apple music app on my moto g6. I want to transfer the physical files and make the app recognize those files instead of streaming. You can tell me to just drag and drop and copy but i don't know how. That's why i posted this. I need some one to tell me the steps.

The Apple Music App for Android is just for songs from the subscription service. It will not play your iTunes library directly, and there's no way to transfer the songs to it.


To transfer your iTunes library as I said, you need to follow the steps for adding music to your device, and play them using the default android media player on your device.


The link I posted above shows you how to get the music onto the Moto G6. here it is again: https://videotron.tmtx.ca/en/topic/moto_g6/importing_music_from_a_mac.html#step=1
