Friend's iphone + itunes sync = no music on the iphone

Can it be simplified to a copy and paste, or am i forced to go through itunes?

3 posts about the iphone. Let's try this. Why not itunes? Works for me. If it didn't I'd be back at the Apple store this minute.

You need iTunes to make the phone sync

by mrmacfixit Forum moderator Apr 8, 2008 10:25AM PDT

Everything that the phone contains, other than the out of the box apps, are downloaded from iTunes during a sync process.
Software updates, music, video, ring tones, pictures and contacts are all transferred during that process.

Why would you not use iTunes?

After those three questions, are you sure your friend actually has an iPhone?
