I assumed getting iPhone music would be easy. Actually, it was: places like iTunes offer a very simple to use service that anyone (even me) could wield with ease. The problem was that, paying per track, I soon racked up a considerable bill.

My first thought was to download the iPhone music for free. While this is a totally feasible option I didn’t like the idea: everyone to there own, and everything, but I wanted the artists to get something back for what I was getting from them.

So I did some more research and found that there were services available that allowed me to download as much iPhone music as I wanted to for a flat monthly fee (and in one case a flat lifetime fee – hurrah!)

Once I’d got the music I wanted I encountered a further problem: apparently my iPhone music wasn’t compatible with my iPhone (this being caused by my using a general music download site rather than one specifically designed for iPhone music).

Never fear! At Google’s advice I downloaded some conversion software and everything worked as it should; I even found some similar software that allows me to convert some video files that I have downloaded (my favorite TV show!).
