    Samsung's first Android-powered tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab Published on Sep 7, 2010 Tweet

    So you have a large iTunes library and now you have a Samsung Galaxy Tab -- but how can you make them work together to synchronize your music? The following guide shows you how to quickly and easy set up your computer to sync your Samsung Galaxy Tab with music from iTunes.


    The first section details how to acquire a small piece of software called "iTunes Agent", that allows you to use your Galaxy Tab with iTunes on a Windows-based computer (we are assuming that you already have iTunes installed, and have an existing library of music). Mac users can achieve the same results by installing a program called iTuneMyWalkman.

      2)Touch the USB icon that appears in the menu bar at the top of the display, and drag it down to expose the Android Notification Pane
    3. 3.Tap on USB Connected, and select Mount
    4. 4.Create a folder on the mounted Galaxy Tab called Music
  • The second section, below, details how to create a configuration for the Galaxy Tab in iTunes Agent's Preferences (figure 2 for all steps below).
