Various software programs are available that will sync a computer's iTunes library with many types of portable electronic media, including MP3 players and smart phones. Users of the Sprint Epic 4G, manufactured by Samsung, can find programs to upload an iTunes library. Compatible Android apps allow for wireless iTunes syncing.
