This is probably not new news for hardcore Apple fans, but for itunes haters and Android people who would like to switch to iOS but hate itunes, this might make your day. (or not, who knows)
You still have to use itunes, but if you check the box that says "manually manage music", you can just drag and drop music from your computer onto the itunes window and it'll immediately move them onto your phone.
But wait! There's more! There's another checkbox that mentions wifi. If you check that box, your phone doesn't even have to be in the same room as you so long as its on the same wifi. You can literally drag and drop, and beam the music onto your phone while it's in a completely different room. Times have changed.
Back in the day, you had to manually import music to itunes, then select your phone, then music column, then check the songs/artists/albums that you want, then click sync. It was a pain. (and still sort-of is) But now, for the people who don't need playlists and organization can just drag and drop mp3's straight onto the itunes windows.
I didn't realize itunes was more flexible until recently because I've been utilizing streaming music, so I figured I'd share this with the rest of the world. I know a lot of people hate itunes with a passion, so this might change things for some of those people. Oh, and it still doesn't like FLACs. As an audiophile, this makes me a little sad, but then again, it's coming out of a headphone jack into cheap headphones, or via crap quality bluetooth audio to my car, so the FLACs wouldn't make any difference anyway.
Hopefully this will be helpful to at least one person. I hated itunes enough that I just started using pandora/spotify. I got asked by a coworker about how you put music on your phone, and I did some reading since it has been a while, and came to find that it's much easier now if you want to bypass importing the music to itunes.
