 Tryna copy over some iTunes songs from my computer (Win10-64bit) to Pixel 6

The WINDOWS Explorer/ file manager screen is not popping up 😢 

Anyone know how to fix this? #Asknostr




Device connects ---I  hear the tone and I see the Bluetooth peripheral device in device manager .... And it displays as Pixel 6 under devices. 

The cable is  the original data USB - that came with the phone and I use it in the car with no issues.

I have enabled USB file transfer on my phone. 

Rebooted a lot. 

Downloaded android studio/SDK manager and Google USB drivers. 

Not sure if the correct driver is installed tho --- see photo...

Reddit guy solved his problem by upgrading to Win11... That's not an option for me...my computer is v old.

 Export the AAC files. Use a USB stick to copy to the Pixel 
 Thank you 🙏 

I only want to transfer some of the songs....also I don't use Google play store.... So I would import them into VLC media player. 

I'll have to research ACC files....my iTunes are all mp3.....some songs were downloaded from Amazon and I don't think those songs play in VLC.

🙄
 
 VLC supports mp3. Get a USB stick and copy the files.  
 Ok. I'll figure out how to select the songs I want to transfer ... 

I don't have a lot of space on my phone. 

I don't back anything up the cloud. 

I'll revisit this in the morning. When I'm more alert 

Thanks for your help 🙏 
 Uploading to the cloud. Same thing as uploading to a gov database.
