I hate some songs! Help!

[Jmjacj00]

I download songs straight to my iPhone. Seems great. But I want to get rid of some. I have read people say "Just check the ones you want in iTunes." But they're not iTunes...they're on my phone. And they don't seem to be able to get TO iTunes. Seems like this should be very easy (I can't imagine this medium would have taken over if this is really this difficult), so I am surely I am completely missing the simplest thing. Thanks in advance!

I had no idea that you could surpass iTunes and upload directly to your iPhone...

I bet the OP forgot to mention the phone is jailbroken.

How are you 'downloading' songs? If they are not in iTunes but on your phone, what app are you using?

Moved to iPhone Jailbreak.

You don't have to jailbreak to do this. You can use an app like 'Downloads - Downloader and Download Manager'. The songs would then be accessed and played through the app (not iTunes). They media can also be deleted through the app. It's not as powerful as iFile, but it's a great alternative if you don't want to jailbreak.

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten about that one.

Just post what app you used to download them and we can give you directions for getting them off the phone and into iTunes. The only way to bypass iTunes on the computer and add them directly to the iPod app is with the PwnTunes app, available in Cydia. Otherwise, you'll have to move them from your download folder to your computer, then add them to your iTunes library, and then sync them onto the phone.
